1:04:39 — This week saw one of the first arrests under Alabama’s controversial new illegal immigration law. On this episode, I try to explain the law — best as I can understand it — and why it’s being used as a prop for my home state to go to war with the Obama admin. Also: the movie “Cape Fear” (original and remake), the Natalie Wood drowning case being reopened after 30 years, and why Blues musicians can’t get respect.

57:46:26 — Exhausted after taking the grueling Praxis test, I nevertheless sit down to do a show, fraught with weird ideas and suggestions, such as what to do with my body after I die, and quitting teaching altogether to open a video store. There’s a drinking game for this episode: take a shot of Ancient Age every time I say “You Know”.
Music for this episode performed entirely by Persson, off their wonderful Creative Commons album, “Outside the Walls”.

1:14:40 — I start out with a review of the flick “Money Ball”, then go on to a few more rants, interspersed with the ritualistic smacking of Quaker Oat Meal Squares cereal, chased with a PBR. Fun stuff.
Check out my friend Hunter’s online comic Vexxarr here, as well as his Apple “Think Different” parody from (circa?) 2004.

1:53:32 — Here’s a bunch of audio I got on my camping trip to Noccalula Falls, AL to do my Halloween show, which will be posted this weekend.  Very raw and unpolished, recorded with an indescreet Zoom, which draws some very curious stares from random passersby, mainly in Wal-Mart when I’m buying food and beer for the campsite.  Topics include equipment check, “Henry Winkler and Fonzie”, jackhammer outside my bedroom window, the cat’s meow, flat tires, a trip to the Briary to pick up some cigars, road work that leads to about a one hour detour, Super Listening, Chadcast, “I just put the ketchup on the last burrito!”, Frank Nora and the Overnightscape, Occupy Wall Street, vacation follies, Wal-Mart shopping, beer buying, hobo chicken, Evil Dead, a nice morning stroll around the camp ground, a final cigar, a return to civilization and responsibility, and being solicited crack at the country filling station.Â

1:14:43 — After a month’s absence, I get on back to the microphone for another landmark episode. Actually, this is a show that was supposed to be posted weeks ago, just after Birmingham’s Sidewalk Film Festival in late August, but due to a slew of technical problems (no procrastination for once, I promise), it’s just going up now. It’s still cool and relevant, though, I swear!
On this episode, I’ve got an interview with Mark Trammell, pop culture and entertainment editor for UAB’s Kaleidoscope newspaper, who gives the most extensive review you’ll hear of the grassroots Sidewalk Film Festival. I talk with Mark about why Sidewalk matters in the film festival scene, and get a breakdown of all the independent flicks that played at this year’s event that you need to see. Tell your girlfriend, tell your parents — truly something for everybody!

1:09:04 — How do people get old? Outside the usual ways, I think it’s a lot easier now for folks to get older, faster, what with all the Internet web sites and airplanes and telephones. Also: a look at Bham’s Ruffner Mountain, America’s largest urban park and a monument to the city’s lush industrial history.

55:59 — Here in the South, religion, politics and sports are rolled up into one great big Venn Diagram of social mores, where everyone wants to be at the intersection, and anyone in the satellite ether is left to fend for themselves. On this episode, I recount what it’s like to unknowingly be under constant scrutiny from the church congregation when I was younger. Also: the REALLY real ”Amityville Horror”.

56:21 — After a month of all work and no play, I settle down for another show in the studio. Topics include changing a tire in early morning rush hour, Joe Bob Invades Birmingham, last month’s journal of podcast procrastination, early 90s Nickelodeon nostalgia, and MTV turns 30 (aka why are we celebrating this bullstuff?). Also, my review of the Maculey Culkin psych drama “The Good Son” will have you throwin’ Mama from the cliff!
