It'd be better if it wasn't those guys every other week! Put a topic on the table. You hear unfair record reviews? So great

Bad news: Supplementary marathon time this Tuesday
Good news: new premiums, including what looks like a great Best Show one.

I think they're feeling quite bad about having to ask for money, but needs must etc.
Pledge you bastards, pledge.

today tonight

 

[Luther Blissett]

Just pledged for The Best Show. Hopefully enough money can be raised to keep WFMU afloat.

Not sure if this has been posted before: Brilliant interview with Scharpling and Wurster
It's lovely stuff, a real rarity to hear them talking about what they do, out of character, particularly in the same room. I find it impossible to take Wurster seriously though, regardless of what he's talking about, I'm expecting a punchline at any moment.
There are a bunch of old podcasts and bits and pieces of interviews etc. here: http://awfulsome.com/tbsowfmu/.getoffmyphone/

Not sure how late I can stay up tonight with work in the morning, will definitely try to catch the start of Scharpling anyway and pledge during the show.

Woo. My pledge got read out. OMG Tom said my name.

Woo. My pledge got read out. OMG Tom said my name.

Terre read out my name along with "WOOO IRE-RO-LAND". Hope there's more calls before it finishes as well.

$75,000+ raised on The Best Show alone.

That's excellent. When did that happen? I'd love to read more about the film they wrote.

That's excellent. When did that happen? I'd love to read more about the film they wrote.

I think it's around 2 years old. I don't think anyone ever heard anything else about the S&W movie, but Tom also wrote a movie called 'Jeff the Demon' which is apparently gonna be made with Will Arnett in the title role and James Bobin (Flight of the Conchords, Ali G) directing!

Also - the last ever series of Monk is unfolding right now, if anyone's into that - only 3 episodes left to be shown!

"In "Hardcore History" the very unconventional Dan Carlin takes his "Martian", outside-the-box way of thinking and applies it to the past. Was Alexander the Great as bad a person as Adolf Hitler? What would Apaches with modern weapons be like? Will our modern civilization ever fall like civilizations from past eras? This is a difficult-to-classify show that has a rather sharp edge. It's not for everyone. But the innovative style and approach has made "Dan Carlin's Hardcore History" a New Media hit. "


""Common Sense with Dan Carlin" is a blend of audio commentary and news analysis by one of the leading thinkers among today's politically independent crowd. Author, reporter and talk show host Dan Carlin takes a look at the issues in the news through the prism of his traditional American "forward-thinking pragmatism" while pushing a fiscally conservative, socially liberal approach to solving problems. Whether he's railing against the "Fat Police", explaining the existence of "The Chicken Little Gene" or continually bringing up historical events no one has ever heard of, Carlin manages to be entertaining and informative in a uniquely non-partisan way. His style has been compared to Seinfeld's George Costanza on steroids. Whether that's true or not, he does often talk really fast. You'll have to keep up."

Good interview with Ian MacKaye this week on The Sound Of Young America.

 

[SONYMEGADRIVE]

6 hour best show is great so far! Great wurster call, funny interview with the Rhino Records guy who did the new nuggets thing and now a rant about Petey!

edit - that petey bit just got quite weird.

 

[Anthony]

I got one hour in and had to break to do other stuff but was happy with it. I hope the Spike 6 month ban holds. He is starting to annoy me.

 

[SONYMEGADRIVE]

2nd wurster so far (well 3rd..) - a Bryce call!

 

[Gambra]

I was listening live for the first hour call, the first (2nd maybe) Wurster call about the guy dressing the kid was good "he crys tears of joy over the way I dress him"

 

[SONYMEGADRIVE]

jazz fart...jazz fart...

 

[kings lead hat]

erm, anyone listening to any other podcast apart from the best show?

just wondering................


[ie get a room]

 

[Gambra]

Apart from the Best Show I get Mark Kermode & Simon Mayo's Film Weekly, Stop Podcasting Yourself, Chikara Podcast-A-Go-Go and usually whatever BBC & RTE documentaries look good this week.
