Fringecast 24

S’marvelous. S’wonderful. S’Fringecast.
That is right, gentle and wrinkled people of warm and cold climes. Fringecast has returned. Amazingly, we’ve noticed nearly a 100% drop in listenership (is that a word?) since we stopped airing Fringecast nearly a year ago. Seriously, where’s the love? Did you abandon us?
Sadly, that drop corresponds to just about the exact [...]

Number nineteen comes at you like a bullet train, and this one packs more punch than a political pundit at a party poking puppies with a pickle. Indeed, it’s the week after the election, and so we discuss politics with Washington D.C. correspondent Greg Piper, who discusses non-voting, free speech and porn, and new methods [...]

When in doubt, dig deep and find all the segments you didn’t like the first time and repackage them as a “Lost Episode.” That’s what we did here, and it worked out pretty well for us. We’re raking in the cash…
In this amazing Fringecast, we discuss non-violent, peaceful terrorism, guerilla weddings, why guys like long [...]

If there’s such as a thing as blog blasphemy, Joe commits it within the first few moments of our second segment in which we discuss the legitimacies of the claim “more money than God.” But before that, we bring Hooker back for a post-firing/re-hiring discussion, and he insults his new boss. New boss, it’s spelled [...]

It’s not every day you get a chance to spar with the best and come out on top. But with this Fringecast, Joe and I do that, squaring off with such diverse topics as retro weather reporting and the ethics of finding money on the street or in the woods, with the eventual but inevitable [...]

It’s been too long since we conducted a Fringecast, so as an extra special treat, we offer a slightly longer edition, our fourteenth podcast, for your enjoyment. Sara Zechoski joins Joe Blum and I, finally as a Los Angeles resident, to discuss Joe’s jury duty summons, Sara’s least favourite numbers, and my sock collection. Mel [...]

Fringecast 13

Fringecast 13 takes an unlucky number and refuses to acknowledge its existence. Instead, we interview a Sony Spiderman 3 intern who happens to be sleeping on our couch and dissect the lives of Hollywood celebrities Topher Grace and Bryce Dallas Howard. We also discuss the recent deportation of the wife of special guest Lee Cross [...]

We’ve got Superman on the brain as we contemplate the arrival of the new Superman Returns by comparing DC Comics to Marvel, and then taking it a step further and creating a Superhero Ratings Council, which does exactly what it sounds like. Tim relates a disturbing story about him and a Bible story character, and [...]

Whether it’s contracting avian flu or stealing recycleables, or simply pitting Joe versus John in a hair contest, the Fringecast crew has put together a delightful 10th Episode with all the class and sass you’re used to. It’s free, and people love free crap, even if it’s the worst thing to come down the pike, [...]

Have you ever wondered about face transplants? Have you ever wondered if Jesus ever had a son but didn’t want to plunk down $13.00 to see The Da Vinci Code and find out the truth? Did you ever consider making an ice cream float with “real” beer? Do you live in Boston and require instantaneous [...]
