Ok so where is my damn podcast already you ask?   It should be up shortly very shortly, and by that I mean as soon as the server will finally take it.  I'm not sure what the issue is but it should be ironed out by morning.

Agent Freckles lives to fight another day.  Jack finally gets another kill.  What's with all the neck shots?  Is this season an homage to Bruce Willis?  All signs point to the demise of Chloe.

The CTU Redshirts have returned for Season 3.  Can you beleive it.  I can't.

Tell me if this sounds familiar.  Guess what guys the studio isn't finished because I'm getting over a move.   But look for the quality to improve in the next coming weeks.  Really.  This time I (polemicturtle) moved the studio about 2700 some miles.  Needless to say I'm missing a few things.  On the upside, the new room is a lot cooler.  Mike and I have also worked some of the recording kinks which means fewer "lost" episodes and faster posting times. 

Comment.  All topical comments or amusing offtopic comments will be read on air.   

Post on the blog!

Music

The music is still provided by music.podshow.com  I highly recomend everyone check them out and then tell your freinds.

So I've lost count but I think this is Hiatus cast 4.  Whats new you ask?  Well Mike and I had the oppurtunity to podcast in the same room for once.  Let me tell you that was a lot of fun.  It doesn't come through on the first half of the podcast because there isn't all that much content to string together so you'll have to take my word for it.

News:

Well lets get to the heart of the matter.  Tony is back.  This was particularly fun to tell mike since I almost got him to shoot rum laced cider out his nose.

Also it looks like the story will be primarily set in DC.  This is good since I'm pretty sure J.C. Hutchins is sick of CTU borrowing the 7th son Aurora to get characters across the country... I've said too much. you'll have to check out his podcast novel.

Follow up:  I did in fact stalk the film crew around the city.  They seem to have lots of cool film toys but I couldn't get anywhere near the actual set.  It was a still fun to try.

Music Notes: 

3rd Culture's "Bird of Prey" brought us into the show

Halfways Home's "On the Passing of Fairytale Heroes" took us out.

Hi all,  before thenotes start I just wanted to say hi to everyone I've met over the last few weeks. Its really amazing to suddenly find yourself talking to someone who actually downloads and listens to the show.  So now I think I'm going to be working doubly hard to not screw up the shows.  Which is why this show is going out the door right now. 

 

Hiatus Cast 2

 

Item one next 24 prez has been confirmed. 

 

Item 2  - The set of 24 is going green here go read it!

Item 3 -  Jack is going on his own …. Duh!

Hi all!

 

So we used this first Hiatus Cast to test out some new equipment and personnel.  I think the results are mixed but we�re posting it because we like the content.  It does run on at times and the abrupt conclusion when my connection commits seppuku is my all time favorite.  However I think there is a lot of potential using an expanded panel. 

 

We�re also serious about the drinking game so send me an email or voicemail if you want to play live. 

 

 

Item one:

 

Our cover picture this week I like to think of as Jack At hour 25.  Enjoy.

 

Item two:  Blame Canada!

 

Supreme court justice Antonin Scalia came to the defense of Jack Bauer at a recent  Judicial conference, when a Canadian Judge questioned the legality of some of Jack�s more colorful interrogation tactics. 

 

Post Show:  We had Fox News Beat by 3 days.  If only I could edit faster.

 

Item three:  Zombies!

 

Thanks to the efforts of Jericho Fans and a whole lot of peanuts  CBS will be bringing back Jericho to wrap up the story this fall.  Since it is going to be a while until we get our next 24 fix, I highly recommend watching the back episodes of Jericho which you can find on their website.   To show our support and liver fortitude we will be playing the Redshirt version of the Jericho Drinking game sometime in the near future for your listening pleasure.  If you would like to join in for the recording please email me at polemicturtle@netzero.com.

 

Item four:  Only 1 month left before the release of the Todd McFarlane Jack Bauer Action Figure.   If you order one he�ll sic a hellspawn on you.

 

Item five:  Pod-Club is in development stay tuned to this feed for further details.

 

Super Secret Bonus Item 6:  Since you read this far we are now hearing rumors that the next Presdient on 24 will be female.  Hmmmmmmm.  Karen Hayes, Sandra Palmer, Chloe!?!!?  Or maybe the mysterious Mandy��  Personally I�m voting for the last one.

Autumne Veir - 37 Gem

Clare_Dowling  - Peculiar    - Personally I think this of this as the Chole Theme Song

State of the Show

 

The Studio is half built.  The first half of construction left me pretty beat up and my foot is injured. 

Mike�s Audio seems to be improving thanks mostly to his studly new microphone. 

We need to get Kris a pop filter.

Show Notes

Mike and I are back to cover the day 6 conclusion.  In summary it was pretty badass until the last 15 or so minutes.  It was pretty hard to not be brought down by the ending and its apparent in the show.  Soooooooo since you are the elite in our audience I threw in a little easter egg.  At the very end of the show after the outro music concludes I include the complete session with our vocalist. 

STAY TUNED TO THIS FEED.

Just because Fox is taking a break does not mean we are going to podfade for 6 months.  Look for additional content in this feed until the next day of 24 comes out.  We have a lot of ideas and  <darth vader voice > the studio will be fully operational within a week <\darth vader voice> which means the full focus of our endevours will be on podcasting.  Except for that whole pesky work thing.  Did I mention to STAY TUNED TO THIS FEED because something shiny and new is coming.  Its called:

Comedy Notes

 

Sorry all no comedy bits this episode.


 

 

Construction notes.

 

So the studio construction is going quite well.  I still have 8 of ten functional digits and one working shoulder.  It�s been 2 straight weeks of fun and excitement. Meaning painting, wiring, plumbing, roofing and flooring.  Oh did I mention there is a house attatched to the studio� probably not.  So far I�m under my budget which means more recording tools.  Similarly we are getting ready to rework our webpage and blog.  And�� there is a big announcement coming soon.  All this work has been for a reason.  We�ve been hinting at it.  We�ve been working on it.  Stay tuned for podcasting goodness.

Hey all its Episode 14 and its two podcasts for the price of one.  Oh wait we do this for free.   Leave your comments on our comment line at 206- 666 CTU2 (2882)

 

Mike has a new microphone!  Which means podcasts can come out faster!  Woohoo!  Or at least Polemicturtle can procrastinate more.

 

Secretary Heller is back.

 

Mike wonders is this the real Audrey?  Polemicturtle thinks (post show)  SHE�S a FEMBOT!

 

Did Doyle redeem himself?

 

Is Bishop the same guy who brought the bomb into CTU? 

 

Do you like Lenox the Weasel or Hate him again?

 

Maybe Sec Heller is also an impersonator�.. Maybe they�re all Cylons.  Sorry wrong show.

 

Who is writing Doyle�s bad dialogue?  WTF!

 

We discuss good and bad product placement inside the episode.  That cool tazer looking thing that the VP was holding was a Zoom H4 and they kick a$$.

 

3 more episodes of 24 to go.  Call or email us with you thoughts on ho the season will end.

Problems are compounding problems over here in Polemicturtleland.  Sorry the content was late.  Got it uploaded late last night only to then be hit with a power outage till 1130am EST today.

 

So here it is.  Very raw, but hopefully tasty.

Can't wait for tonights episode.  Give us a call on the voicemail after you watch the show with your initial reactions.

Thanks very much for listening to our podcast.  You get double secret bonus points for reading the shownotes.  I just started upgrading my studio and will be begin moving it to its new permanent home in Maryland.  What this means for you is that once the dust settles you should begin to hear even more improvements to our podcasts.  

We would love to hear your feedback so feel free to call us on our feedback line at 206-666-2882 or leave a comment on our webpage  www.therobotdance.com or send me an email at polemictutle@netzero.com.  Now on to the shownotes 

 

Episode 11

Show Notes

 President Palmer is getting adrenaline injections.  How many more shots till his heart explodes?

 

Doyle wins the prize for biggest understatement of the century.

 

Milo botched the security protocols and Doyle covers for him.  Hmmmm maybe they are actually working together as moles.

 

The VP’s Chief of staff volunteers to perjure herself…. ….

 

Tom Lennox finally grows a pair!  Does this count as Tom’s redemption?

 

So Fayed and Gredenko walk into a bar.

 

Jack Bauer is now so badass he calls his shots.

 

Nukes go a-flying!  Tune in next week.

Episode 9

 

 

Mike and Polemicturtle (that’s me!) discuss the current episode of 24 7:00pm – 8:00pm

 

During this episode we see a reemergence of many of the shows female characters and discover a mole who we both believe to be a red herring. 

 

Audrey is dead . . . . .or is she?  An uberpissed Jack Bauer and Sec Heller vs all of China  yeah that’s probably an unfair match up….. for the Chinese!

 

The Jack Bauer body count is now at 11 and Markov’s Pinky.

 

 

Techinical Notes

 

Behind the scenes many changes have occurred.  We shitcanned our old skype recording software and switched to Hot Recorder.   This switch will hopefully prevent fewer episodes from becoming “lost episodesâ€?  and have the added bonus of getting out to you faster.  It should mostly solve some of the time synch issues that have been dogging us all season.

 

If Mike’s voice sounds a bit odd its because we had to filter out some noise in his signal that really was playing havoc.  This shouldn’t problem should be over come shortly.

 

Many more upgrades coming soon.

A note on bed music. We were previously using 2012’s music for bed music but removed it when I began getting some listener feedback that it was distracting from the show.

 

No comedy bits this episode.  But I’ve got a few in the works that may appear here soon.   We welcome your submissions which you can send to us me at

 

Polemicturtle@netzero.com and we will make sure to get it on the air.  Similarly if you have a song you would like featured on the show email us the song and why you think it would be a good match for our show or the 24 theme.

Episode 7 is here and for once its even a teensy bit early. We hope you enjoy. 

If you want to join the CTU Redshirts Crew email polemicturtle at polemicturtle@netzero.com

We went back to the original format which was mike and the turtle drink some beers and then talk about 24.

We took out the bed music because we received some feedback thatit was distracting.  We may experiment with it in the future.

How did Assad get to DC so fast?  Mike and I speculate it was on one of the super sonic Aurora spyplanes from J.C Hutchins kick ass podiobook 7th Son Book 2: Deceit.  I can't urge you enough to go check it out along with Book 1: Descent.  you can find it at www.podiobooks.com or on I-tunes.

Dear Listeners, 

We experienced a major problem with episode 6 that made the recording impossible to listen to. I've tried all weekend to see if any of it was salvageable but alas I failed in my endeavout.  So Episode 6 is dead!  Long live Episode 7! 

Mike and I are commited to bringing you as high a quality podcast as we can acheive with our equipment and a Skype connection.

As a bit of an appetizer until the next episode I've but up this mini-episode.

If you are a reader of show notes make sure to listen all the way to the end for a easter egg. 

Thank you for listening,

Polemicturtle

Episode 3:

After some severe (cough Polemicturtle cough) technical difficulties Episode 3 is up.  The sound quality is getting better though the audio is limited by our Skype connection.  We lost a little bit of energy with talking through the show three times but rally at the end.  Unfortunatley we lost a lot of the jokes from the first two trys which is also why the Aaron/Mrs Logan scene seems a bit forced but it had to be done.   

State of the Show

Our downloads have doubled! You all rock, though you do it silently.  call us we're lonely

Possibly coming next month:

The 24 drinking game simulcast - can we survive?

I suck.  There I've said it. 

There is only about 30 minutes of original content in a 50 minute podcast.  How is that possible?  Refer to the first sentence.  So think of the extra 20 minutes inserted in there as a bonus.... yeah its a bonus.    

Feel free to tell me how much I suck at
