THE AWESOME TRAIN IS WITHOUT A STATION

Our hosting service folded into another, larger corporation this week, leaving us without a place to share the funny and music with you. We are looking into other options and hope to have this solved momentarily.

Please stay tuned.

Awesome Train podcast #009 The 'This Podcast Was Recorded Using a Trial Version of Wire Tap Studio' Show

April 13th, 2009

Show #9, and the quality doesn't stop for the Awesome Train.

THIS WEEK, while experiencing some technical difficulties with our usual program (WireTap Pro) we decided to try out WireTap Studio. Well if you read the small type, it turns out that this trial version has a female voice over after a certain amount of time - THEREFORE - the last 3/4ths of our podcast is basically unlistenable due to the dang voice over. ENJOY!

Stories about knife fights due to farting; reality TV shows about company layoffs; TV pitch man Jack Rebney PWNS the F-bomb in Winnebago spots from the 80s; and Billy Bob Thornton comes across as a real dick in a music interview; and other news and topics.

SONGS PLAYED:
Wreckx-n-Effect: 'Rump Shaker'
Animal Collective: 'My Girls'
