Monday, July 27. 2009Podcast 27: Providing even more ways for people to not contact us
Well the great experiment of trying to trim podcast time down continues (a little over 2 hours this week). But even more awesome is the fact that we now have a Trek West 5 Twitter hash tag where you can keep up on: the latest TW5 news, chat with other TW5 listeners, find out about upcoming podcast episodes, and possibly get in on the ground floor of cool giveaways. But not so much of that last one. We have also decided to tap in to the wondrous beauties of a Google Phone Number. If you would like to call in and leave a brief (no more than two and a half to three minute) message/comment about the podcast, the episodes, or Joey and Peter just call in to this number: 801-788-4913.
We had no guests, so you are left to enjoy the dulcet tones of Joey and Peter. But once again, Listener Jim comes away with a few doosie comments. Very hilarious. This podcast covers episodes 4-6 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 5. Various topics discussed in this podcast include: Do you prefer short or longer podcasts?

Swatson on :
I think the podcasts are currently running at about 43-47% of length of time that they should be running. There seems to be so much more material that is either not covered or is glossed over. Perhaps a topic isn't covered due to editor judgment that topic might be too complex for the intended audience or will generate conflict within the hive which in turn will spur a proclivity to violence? I don't know just a thought...
The Mad Giggler on :
I'm not the most loyal listener, but I have noticed a time or two that just when the conversation was getting interesting, the action is stopped for a return to Star Trek. I guess I just find the "off-topic" stuff more fun to listen to.
Ancient of Days on :
That's awesome feedback, MG. We usually try to let the conversations run their course before returning to the episode, but I'll make sure we focus on that. Thanks.
Oh, and swatson, you're a troll. Johnny Elbows on :
It turns out that the writers of Star Trek, The Next Generation ARE actually more knowledgeable about some things than Pete and Joey. Contrary to what Joey states in the podcast, humans DON'T explode if they are exposed to a vacuum. NASA has experimented with this, and you can read about the experiments here: http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/ask_astro/answers/970603.html
Radar on :
This is fantastic. Thanks Johnny!
Ancient of Days on :
I sit corrected. My copy of "How Stuff Works", which taught me this seeming nonsense, will suffer when I get home. Thanks, Johnny.
Radar on :
Burn it! Burn the book.
Swatson on :
Even though I am a troll, how can you label me so violently in a public forum, when all of us including myself should be applauding that I obviously engendered MG's comment of creativity.
Ancient of Days on :
Well, if you actually LISTENED to the podcast, you'd know by now that I consider violence a viable (if somewhat distasteful) solution to most problems.
Daboo on :
Why is holding your breath bad?
Ancient of Days on :
The difference in pressure would cause an embolysm - or, as Wikipedia puts it:
the air held within the lung expands to the point where the lungs burst (pulmonary barotrauma) [1] [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_embolism#Gas_embolism_in_diving |
