Maggie Gyllenhaal is a really good actress and a very attractive lady. Both Joey and I think so. We have no idea why people don't like her. We forgot to say that during our podcast movie special about Stranger Than Fiction. Great film. Easily one of Will Ferrell's best works. Both Joey and I give it 2 thumbs up. But seriously, who doesn't like dipping cookies in milk? Duration: 1h 08m 51s

We recorded this weeks podcast with a different soundboard that we have on loan from the distributor. Who knew they allowed something like that? But it was pretty fun for us to be able to play around with some new equipment to make us sound better. Mind you that it is just our sound quality that improved, not what Joey and I were saying. This tv podcast covers episodes 3 and 4 of Battlestar Galactica Season 2.

We didn't record this week because Joey was at a writing symposium; however, he was able to interview a few folks, and he stitched those together into this podcast-long installment of "Joey's Culture Corner". Joey wrote this opening paragraph, and I have no idea why he decided to use third-person.

The interviewed guests for this podcast are:
    Deren Hansen, author of the Dunlith Hill Writer's Guides (http://dunlithhill.com/)
    Larry Correia, New York Times bestselling author of the Monster Hunter International series, the Grimnoir Chronicles, and the thriller Dead Six (http://larrycorreia.wordpress.com/)
    Robert J. Defendi, author of many modules for RPG systems across the board, including the Critical Matters and the Echoes of Heaven modules (http://playtesting.net/)
    Dan Willis, author of young adult and other fantasy novels in the Dragonlance series created by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. (http://dansrealm.com/Home/Home.html)
    James A. Owen, known for his creator-owned comic book series Starchild and as the author of The Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica novel series, that began with Here, There Be Dragons (http://www.heretherebedragons.net/)

Despite what Joey says there is no Adventure in Republican in this weeks podcast. He lied to us all. Good wrap up of the first season though. Joey was floored by the events of the final minute of the last episode. But he is actually enjoying the series now so it has all been worth it. This tv podcast covers episode 13 of Battlestar Galactica Season 1.

Back from my deathbed we pick up where we left off. Thanks to everyone who sent well wishes and also thanks for everyone's patience as I kept cancelling this recording week after week.
