0 Episode 46 – How many Whelans does it take to …
OK, so I don’t really have a follow up for that headline, but it was an awesome show this week, as we had Wheels return for another appearance on the guest futon, but, in tow, he brought my sister Gooey with, to expose her to as much streaming media as he could.
And we three Whelans had fun hanging out with Adam in the Frank Oz Memorial Studio, and our conversations, as per usual, wandered all over the place. But for now, the MIC CHECK is available on the EPISODE PAGE.
In all actuality, I’ve already posted the episode itself, anticipating a busy Friday in the office and/or early escape to the Irish Fair in St. Paul, MN, but we’ll see who reads this far into the post before investigating the episode page.
Make sure to check out this week’s mic check, plus the episode, and we’ll see you next week for episode Forty Seven!
0 Episode 45 – Sorry I’m Late!
Right. So … sorry I’m late. I was on a business trip from Thursday until today, and my hotel had less than 1 Mbps Wi-Fi, so I didn’t have a good enough connection to successfully get everything on the site.
But … on the bright side, now you get everything at once! Now the episode is available (and should be available on iTunes and Stitcher shortly), plus both bonus tracks! You can check everything out by clicking here.
We had a fantastic time during this week’s episode, with two veterans on site to perpetuate the conversation in any direction we wanted to take it. It was really nice. In terms of priorities, you should definitely start with the Episode, then the Mic Check, then the Post-Episode bonus track. Do them in that order.
While you do that, I’m going to go finish unpacking my car so I can get access to the Spotted Cow I just picked up for the studio (we can call that an incentive to get our future guests riled up).
0 Episode 45 – 07/31/12 feat. Katie Best & Alex “AJ” Johnson
Katie and AJ join Dan and Adam to hold the random conversations that they do, with the occasional reference to something streaming. On this week’s show, they talk about a lot of platform updates for streaming services, including Amazon, Hulu Plus, Pandora and Spotify. They also talk about Olympics streaming video, and all of the press and social media rants tied to that. Thereafter, they play a great round of Movie Bluff.

0 Episode 44 – Eternal Sunshine of the Guessless Build a Title
So it was another hot night in the Frank Oz Memorial Studio, much like this entire bizarre Midwest summer. So we took a stab at running a round of Build a Title around, but there was a bit of a struggle. THAT, and we started with a tough lead in. Try to guess what it is … hmmm … I wonder.
But yeah. Check out this week’s bonus Build a Title game, and make sure to listen to the full episode and Mic Checks if you haven’t already!
0 Episode 44 – 07/24/12 feat. Kia Hammill & Dave Wheeler
Kia and Dave join Dan and Adam to chat, banter and crack wise as they all discuss streaming media, ranging from news to what they’re watching. On this week’s show, they discuss Netflix’s Q2 returns … kind of, as well as a new product that Redbox announced, and they talk about the new Internet video series starring Jerry Seinfeld. They go on to play a great round of Movie Bluff.

0 Episode 44 – We’re all kids on the inside …
Adam and I had a great show this week, featuring his sister, Kia Hammill, and returning guest Dave Wheeler. The four of us had a nice time, despite the lingering heat that evening.
We chatted about some recent news, including Netflix’s returns, a new Redbox product coming soon, and a new Internet video series being featured on Crackle.
So all that stuff comes out tomorrow in the full episode, but now you can listen to the Mic Check! You can find it on this week’s episode page. We talk about TOYS! Well … TOYS and hobbies and things like that from our collective childhoods. A great time is had by all.
Go team.
0 Episode 43 – For your listening pleasure …
So this week we had an excellent episode, BUT we also had one of our BEST post episode conversation bonus tracks in the history of “Buffering …”.
I’m going to leave it at that, and say you should definitely check it out.
0 Episode 43 – 07/18/12 feat. Jenn Diethart & Curtis James
Jenn and Curtis join Dan and Adam to talk about that which is streaming media. This week wasn’t heavy in the streaming department (as of taping date) so it’s just a racing and rambling conversation. There’s a modest plug for the Minnesota Renaissance Festival, since Jenn and Adam are in it, but they switch gears and head back toward technology by discussing what they’ve been watching recently, and HOW they watch that which they watch. From there, they wrap up the show with a great round of “Movie Bluff”.

0 Episode 43 – A Podcast Divided
Wanted to start off by saying, no, this is not a negative Mic Check week. Well … it is, but it’s moreso Dan, Adam, and guests Jenn and Curtis, dealing with crazy dreams and bad luck. So they hate stuff, or their brains hate them, but either way, two talk about one topic, while the others go with door number two.
Well, that’s spelled out enough. Otherwise, we had a great show this week. You definitely need to stop back on Saturday to check out the Post Episode Conversation track. It’s just about an hour in itself, but it totally could have been a part of the episode, if you wanted to struggle through two hours. I mean … you wouldn’t struggle since you love the show, right? I’m just worried about your phone’s battery … or something.
So head on over to the page for Episode 43, and check out this week’s Mic Check.
0 Episode 42 – 07/10/12 feat. Emily Dyess & Andrew Nelson
On this week’s episode, returning guests Emily Dyess and Andrew Nelson join Dan and Adam to discuss how streaming media affects the amount of new media they consume. Or how it doesn’t. Both. They also play Movie Bluff, and get on some pretty good tangents along the way.
