Bardcast Ep 5 is done recording

We finished Ep 5 Recording, I should have it up sometime tomorrow. Editing things sucks. From now on, no mistakes!

Episode 4: Authorship "Question"

We've finished recording episode 4, I'll probably have it up by sometime tomorrow.

BardCast Ep 3 Is Done!

We've finished recording and editing BardCast episode 3, and I'll have it up either later today, or, at latest, early tomorrow.

I think this one is the real test of the podcast. Since half of our episodes will be about individual plays, if this isn't entertaining, we'll need to really retool the podcast.

As always, please take a listen.

Gardening

I'm going out and planting some seeds today. There's something inherently self-justifying about real gardening, where you go out and do something with your hands and your tools. Even more so when you are planting food that you can later give to people. I don't know a better way of getting truly fresh food. Grocery products shipped from another continent simply cannot compare.

By the way, the second episode of the BardCast should be up by the time you read this, visit the site Here.

Podcast Episode 1, The Huntsman

Even though no one has suggested any subjects for me to podcast, I've made one anyway. It's very short, and you can listen to it Here. If you're not going to listen to it, it's about The Huntsman, the alternate Primary Weapon for the Sniper in TF2. You can see the page about it here. If you must know, I did do this entire thing just for that offensive pun.

Hamlet Addendum, Woot!

I can't believe I forgot to mention this: There's a part of Hamlet where he says "woo't" over and over again. Truly, Shakespeare is a man ahead of his time.

Recording of the first BardCast is over, and I'm most of the way through editing it.

Shakespeare: Hamlet

I'm still accepting requests for podcast subjects. Go to this post to leave a comment.

Hamlet is very, very good. Its only blemish is that it's been too successful. Now, almost every scene includes a clichè. There are so many famous lines, it must be distracting to the modern audience.

A few famous ones:

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit,

What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form, in moving, how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? man delights not me; no, nor woman neither, though, by your smiling, you seem to say so.

To be, or not to be, — that is the question: —

Get thee to a nunnery

Alas! poor Yorick. I knew him, Horatio;

The rest is silence.

Good-night, sweet prince;
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

Podcasting Requests

A few days ago I asked whether you disgusting proles would like a podcast where I just talked about things. Some one suggested that I take suggestions for topics. Sounds good to me, so put any suggestions you have in the comments for this post, and we'll see what happens.

Podcasting

In addition to the Shakespeare Podcast, whose first episode should be up in a couple weeks, tops, I've been thinking about doing a Podcast where it's just me talking about whatever. Any thoughts?
