Show #30: No Country for Paula Deen
By popular demand we have returned to the old meandering format you've all come to love. (We like the longer format too). This one's a little more than an hour, so plan your days accordingly. Though this one has its share of current events, it's also got one of those 'big think' topics for you to ponder and then discuss at length with your friends and loved ones in your various salons. You're welcome. Discussed: George Lucas' "threats" of retirement, the oddly cheery quality of the 'Red Tails' trailers, Wednesday's internet blackout to oppose SOPA, other, better solutions to online piracy, Franzen's thoughts on the 'saturation of entertainment' in our culture, Cormac McCarthy's career change, and Paula Deen's diagnosis/money-making scheme. Hope you enjoy it.

Show #29: A Contagion of Republican Presidential Candidates
We're back with a new half-hour podcast. That's right, I said a half-hour podcast. Enjoy it peeps. Discussed: Mitt Romney's New Hampshire win and what it means for the Republican field, and Obama's relative strength going into November. We also revisit Steven Soderburgh's 2011 worldwide pandemic movie 'Contagion'. Monolith finally saw it, and so we, you know, talk about it. Also noted: Charles Barkley's appearance on SNL last weekend, when, how, and on what people watch commercials, and some stuff about new apps to watch TV with. All in just a little over 30 minutes. You're welcome. Won't happen again.

On this, the last podcast of 2011, we discuss 'The Dark Knight Rises' trailer, the 'Prometheus' teaser, possible 20th Century Fox shenanigans (the very possibility of which gets us riled), and the story of the genesis of the Alien-creature, as told by co-creator Ron Shussett (and poorly recalled by BearTrap), Kurt Vonnegut's 8 rules for writing a short story, and then a spoiler-heavy discussion of season 1 of FX's 'American Horror Story'. Click on the link and get you some podcast. Happy new year er'rybody!
