PodCulture 121: The Wrath of Con – Part C

After an introduction from the System Lord we love to hate, Cliff Simon, who plays Ba’al on Stargate SG:1, we’re off on another geek rampage.

Glenn give us the Pleasure De Guilt for the week with Phantom Empire.

Geek Cuisine ushers in the fall with Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses.

We’re still wading though Dragon Con souvenirs, and Brad’s got books! Stargate Atlantis “Mirror Mirror”, Stargate SG:1 “Roswell”, Stargate SG:1 “Do No Harm”, Sherilynn Kenion’s “Seize The Night”. They’ve got CDs, Christina’s favorite being “Like A Waterfall” by James Marsters. Brad’s got The Brobingagian Bards’ “Holy Grail of Irish Drinking Songs”, Mark Gunn’s “Whiskers In The Jar”, “Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers” and “Irish Drinking Songs: The Cat Lover’s Companion”. The pair have a Chicago 2005 dvd of Wicked. Brad’s now the owner of a set of Green Lantern shot glasses from StylinOnline. “Planet Hulk” and “Young Avengers” hardback collections have made their way onto Brad’s shelf, and Glenn’s got Next Avengers on DVD. Christina picked up a present for Brad’s birthday, and he’s picked out a full-sized replica of the Sword of Omens from Thundercats. Christina got herself some shiny in the form of a glass earth pendant and a replica of the Tardis key. Glenn’s got the new Coldplay cd “Viva La Vida”.

Congratulations to The Geek Spin for winning a Podcast Peer Award!

PodCulture 120: The Wrath of Con – Part B

Opening this week’s episode, Brad brings about a potentially controversial discussion. Is podcasting a legitimate media? Do you consider a podcast a valid press medium? If you were at Dragon*Con this year, did you notice changes? What did you think?

What did we bring for Geek and Tell? Brad and Christina have Sapphire and Steel, the first series of Transformers Animated, and Witchblade: The Series on DVD. Behold the bookshelves, as Brad adds to the collection. Digital Magic by Philippa Ballantine, The Case of The Pitcher’s Pendant: A Billibub Baddings Mystery by Tee Morris, and Mur Lafferty’s Playing for Keeps. Glenn’s picked up The Judas Strain by James Rollins. Christina is absolutely in love with her set of Brainwave Suite cds by Dr. Jeffrey Thompson.

Thanks a million tons to Stuart for his fantastically wonderful prezzie! The Ultimate SFX Trivia book, Star Wars Pocket Model, Doctor Who magnets, Farscape and Primeval posters, and a mylar Cylon poster. And to Mark, aka Jayhawk, our most grateful thanks for the Doctor Who Infinite Quest and series 2 of Primeval.

Brad and Christina talk about their friends on Twitter, Glenn’s enjoying playing with listeners on the 360, and Christina is mad about her Darkwing Duck shirt from Hot Topic.

Promos come graciously from Inklings 2.0, and thanks so much to Brian from What The Cast.
