Olde Holy Goddamn

Bumpety Bump: Holy Goddamn! 001

The exciting podcast news probably got lost yesterday, what with the excitement over the inauguration and me effin’ up the audio, but Holy Goddamn has officially resumed! Yes, believe it!

What will you hear in the debut episode? Oh, what won’t you hear!

Well, you won’t hear lots of stuff. But you WILL hear me pontificate on the evils of Food Competitions and interview the proprietor of Winger’s, who will explain the presence of that horrible, horrible banner ad you see above.

Plus there’s some tunes and some soundbites from sources both obscure and arcane.

How can you get it? Well, you can subscribe to it via iTunes with just one click here. If you’re old school, the straight-up feed is located here. Or you can go back to the original post and play it in the web browser of your choice via the handy-dandy Flash player.

My aim is to make this podcast as regular as humanly possible. Given the whole “having a kid” thing, “as regular as humanly possible” probably = biweekly. But I’ve got exciting plans for future episodes already, so KEEP WATCHING THE SKIES!

Technical Nonsense

Yes We Can (Create Unnecessary Work For Ourselves)!

Here’s the thing: I had planned to totally listen through the final MP3 of the first triumphant episode of Holy Goddamn!, but time conspired against me. Plus, I got a little anxious. So I posted it anyway, confident that nothing could possible be wrong with it (from a technical standpoint, anyway).

Of course, listening to it later, I discovered that the “final” MP3 had some weird digital noise attached to all of the spoken word bits. I didn’t really want to output a new file, but I found this noise way too distracting to let go. “Hey, that should be easy to remove” I says to myself.

*doodly-doodly-doo* Seven hours later, drenched in sweat and self-defeat, I finally removed this noise.

Unfortunately, if you’ve already subscribed to the podcast and want to download this episode, you will probably have to go into iTunes and unsubscribe. Then, once you’ve done that, click here to resubscribe.

Sorry to create extra work for alla y’all, but I promise this new version sounds much, much better. It doesn’t sound like I’m yelling through a kid’s Darth Vader voice box anymore. If you need proof, check out the original post and try out the Flash player to sample the improvements.

And if you notice anything else wrong in the podcast, GO TO HELL! I mean, please let me know.

Technical Nonsense

In Case You’re Interested…

…and I know you are, I’ve added all 2006 entries to the new site. So delve into the past, if you are so inclined. I’ll be moving on to 2007 next and sending periodic updates of the progress therein.

Truth be told, there was one post from 2006 that I didn’t add, which pertained to the old Scratchbomb podcast, Holy Goddamn! That’s because I hope to revive the podcast some time in the near future, and didn’t want to confuse the issue by having an old post pointing to a weird mp3 that doesn’t exist.

When shall that podcast be up and running again? I hope to have one ready within the next few weeks. I’ve laid the groundwork for doing it tech- and site-wise, now I just have to think of some ideas and carve out the time to do it.
