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.

Awesome Train podcast #007 The Pat's First Sound Effects Show

March 25th, 2009

Show #7 and we decided to try something new. Greg's brother, Pat, brought his Macbook and Garageband sound effects to the podcast. Good ide, but poor execution on the part of us who don't have a audio engineer background to show between the three of us. So please mind the feedback, echo, distortion, etc. Next week we will be back to normal.

This week is more indie music with talk about penis paintings on rooftops; getting booted off a school bus for passing gas; KidzBop covering P!NK and PSA's that maybe go too far; and other news and topics.

Awesome Train podcast #005 The No Voices Show

March 12th, 2009

Show #5 and Jonathan screwed up BIG TIME. In the interest of full disclosure, I didn't change the settings the last time I used Wire Tap Pro and therefore none of our audio commentary was recorded, just the music.

So into be completely thorough and true to the audience, here is that show. If you dare to listen, you will have songs with lots of fading over them and then lots of dead air. Awesome, just like the Awesome Train.
