Today we hear from the band Red Hunter with their song The Fall, which I first found on the science fiction podcast Escape Pod. I would link to their own web page if they had one, but they appear to have joined with another band, Peter and the Wolf, to form a group called Whiskey and Apples. Anyways, the song is clear and simple even if the band history isn’t. It’s Good. If you have...

Font Conference is pure design nerd humor. I love it, especially Wingdings. See you all next week.

Today we hear from David Usher with his song Ugly is Beautiful, courtesy of the Podsafe Music Network. The album Strange Birds has a lot of good music on it; my only complaint is that Usher hasn’t made my favorite song from the album, Life of Bees, available for podcast play. But this song is good too. If you have any thoughts about the show, I’d love to get your feedback at...

Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog is an excellent video about a man who wants to be a supervillian and who also wants the courage to talk to the girl at the laundromat. Produced during the writer’s strike by Joss Whedon (the man behind Firefly and Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and several of his friends, it’s a campy, low-budget act, but it’s a lot of fun. (Unfortunately, the...

Today we hear from a band out of Toronto, Uncle Seth, with their song Little Pieces, courtesy of the Podsafe Music Network. Their last update was just over a year ago, so I hope the band is still intact and playing somewhere. If you have any thoughts about the show, I’d love to get your feedback at jeremy.harper@gmail.com. Thanks for listening!

Today’s song is Hyperventilation, by the band Once Just. I’ve only been able to find this song on the Podsafe Music Network; I can’t find it in iTunes or the Amazon MP3 store. It’s a fun song though; give it at least one full listen. If you have any thoughts about the show, I’d love to get your feedback at jeremy.harper@gmail.com. Thanks for listening!

The Onion News Network podcast is a hilarious parody of TV news outlets. For example, in the above clip the ONN interviews an Entertainment Scientist from the Institute for Sustainable Cyrus Use. (Watch this one through to the end. The “Next Up…” is the best part.) The clips usually run less than two minutes and are published irregularly, but usually once or twice a week. Other...
