0 Episode 3 – The Musical Chairs Episode
We are going to have an interesting mix of guests this week! As I’ve already determined, Frank and Dave (@davewheeler) will be appearing on the show, as if to recreate the first episode that never was, and standing in for Adam is week is … AJ?!?
Wait, wait, wait. The first episode was supposed to be Frank, Dave and Adam, but instead it was AJ, Dave and Adam. Now you’re telling me that this week was supposed to be Frank, Dave and Adam, but now it’s Frank, Dave and AJ? It’s like a weird game of musical chairs where we never remove a seat after each round, so someone keeps losing (and apparently Dave, AJ and I are awesome!).
So, you may have noticed that there seems to be a lacking of prominent news stories regarding Streaming Internet Media this week. We’ll still hit a few quick news stories, but nothing that really screams “I need to be discussed by up to four people with different movie and music tastes, coming from fairly similar, all the while diverse backgrounds!” It is because of this that we are going to try to mix things up a bit and work on some reusable segments in case of slow news weeks, like this one. So … stay tuned for a fun and spontaneous episode this week (and I’m gonna shoot for three bonus tracks for this episode to tempt you to stick around until Friday).
If you’re not already following us on Twitter, you can find us at @bufferpodcast, and now you can find the Frank Oz Memorial Studio on Foursquare.com, so, you can check-in on Foursquare when’er you are a guest. (I’m getting more information about it via snail mail in 5 to 7 days)
See you Friday! Watch for bonus tracks!
0 Taping Day Update
So this will make for an interesting episode this week: Adam will not be able to make it, as they are celebrating his dad’s birthday that night (Happy Birthday, Mr. E!), so it’ll be me and THREE GUESTS tonight! I just received word from Frank that he will be here tonight, so that’s exciting, but I have another spot to fill.
Along side Dave (@davewheeler, who made appearances in the first Episode, as well as served as an audience member in the second), and Frank (#stilldoesnthavetwitter), I have sent out invites to AJ (Episode 1), Gina (Episode 2), Katie and Walstead in limerick form, in hopes that one of the four will join us as a third guest for this week.
One thing I will work on is getting AJ and Gina on site simultaneously, as they have blown everyone else out of the water in the Leonard Maltin Game, and I want to see who’d win in that fight … plus Adam.
I’ll update everyone once I know who’ll be the third joining me tonight!
My Limerick Invite:
Adam is unable to co-host tonight,
I’m looking for a third guest, alright?
We tape around 8,
and don’t run too late.
Can someone please come solve my plight?
0 OUR FIRST EPISODE!
Thank you for being oh so patient with us as Adam and I worked to get this thing off the ground. We had an awesome first episode with our guests, Dave Wheeler and Alex “AJ” Johnson, as we discussed Pandora’s struggle to remain unique as Spotify and Clear Channel Communications release their own ‘Create Your Own Station’ features, as well as the debacle between Netflix and Starz. We also had enough time to play the Leonard Maltin game (made famous on Doug Benson’s “Doug Loves Movies” podcast).
On top of the episode itself, we will also have some extras for you to check out this weekend (including the mic checks and a bonus round of the Leonard Maltin game)!
As promised, here are a few links to everything we discussed this week:
Childish Gambino’s “Culdesac”
Pandora
Last.fm
Sound Cloud
The “Don’t Look Back in Anger”/”Let it Be” mashup
8Tracks
iheartradio
Echofi
Netflix
Crackle
0 Booking Guests
Holy buckets, folks!
We’ve subbed out Frank for this first episode, and we’re bringing in AJ as his successor.
But even before we have recorded our first episode (recording tonight, dropping Friday), we’ve already booked a guest for next week! This is really cool that our friends are so supportive to get this thing off the ground, and now we’re building an awesome talent pool from which to draw guests when we want to have the fun shows with experienced folks.
Here’s what to watch for:
Episode #1 (taping tonight!) – Dave Wheeler & Alex “AJ” Johnson
Episode #2 – Gina Dolski & TBD
If you’re in the Twin Cities area, a fan of all that is Internet Media, and a fantastic riffer and conversationalist, contact us at bufferingpodcast@gmail.com and maybe YOU COULD BE OUR NEXT GUEST!
0 FIRST EPISODE! … almost
Adam and I have our first guest list locked down! This is pretty exciting (as I’m sitting in the Frank Oz Memorial studio as I write this update)!
Our guests tomorrow will be Dave Wheeler (@davewheeler) and Steve “Frank” Frankenfield (#frankdoesnthavetwitter) talking to myself and Adam.
I’m trying not to give too much away before you actually get to hear the show, but make sure to listen all the way through, as I think we’re going to try to break out the Leonard Maltin game.
Stay tuned!
