Got bandwidth?

“We love our fans! You guys helped break a switch at an ISP! Yay you!”

Hey gang,

As some of you guys may nave noticed the past couple of days there have been problems with downloading episodes of the show. (and the slow loading of the sites) The place that hosts PodCulture, The GeekSpin and a LOT of the other Farpoint Media shows had a switch quit working. New hardware is on order and should be installed by the end of this weekend.

In the meantime the number of connections that can be made to the server is limited, so please keep checking back as you WILL be able to download episodes, however it may take several tries. There are a couple of options if anyone should want to try them:

A. Try downloading again later…system may work then.

B. Try downloading via iTunes, (or another podcatcher) sometimes they cache the files and you may be able to get a copy thru them, or

C. ping me on Skype (username: PodCulture) and I can manually send you the file.

I apologize for any problems you are having, and thank you for sticking with us thru these pesky issues that pop up now and again.

Peace,

Brad

PodCulture 83: Sunny Days – Part 1

After an introduction by the fully-functioning Denise Crosby, we welcome our studio guest, Sunny, to the madness of PodCulture!

Glenn’s been shopping at the Gun Show in town, and has seen “I Am Legend”. He compares the novel to the several versions of film, and has a high opinion of the newest incarnation. We talk about Christmas with Brad’s family, finishing shopping, and watching Invader Zim. Sunny introduces us to XKCD, and admires the masterful Halo 3 tactics of his stepson.

Glenn’s been watching Jet Li’s “Fearless”, “Superbad”, “I Know Who Killed Me”, and “Hot Fuzz”. Christina and Brad are still plowing through Babylon 5, “Dodgeball”, (the movie we couldn’t think of was “Blast From The Past”), and watched the last three episodes of season 3 of Doctor Who. Brad laments the choice of car in the remake of Knight Rider. Glenn drop the bomb that Dead Zone and 4400 have been canceled. Christina has finally finished the master list of the household dvd collection. Sunny’s been watching “Bourne Ultimatum”, “Bollywood/Hollywood”, and “Namesake”.

Brian from the British Invaders podcast sends us a voicemail explaining the Chanukah flavors from our Jones Soda collection.

For Geek Cuisine, we’re all about the holidays this week, as Brad talks about (and shares) his contribution for his “Candy Day” family tradition.

Thanks so much to Worm Quartet for “Hair On The Soap”, and thanks to the NightGig podcast for their promo!
