ExplicitGeneral Purpose Podcast #99: A Conversation with Rich Wielgosz | Fair warning - this one is quite long (almost two hours). Also, the audio from Rich's side came from his laptop microphone so it doesn't sound great. | 1/11/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitGeneral Purpose Podcast #98: Countdown to the Solstice (-1 Days to Go) MONO | After some casting about for topics we talk about a few books including Haruki Murakami's _1Q84_, Terry Pratchett's _Snuff_, and Barry Hughart's _The Chronicles of Master Li and Number Ten Ox_. Technical note: I'm having some trouble with my audio recorder. In the previous recording, there was distortion on both channels. On this recording, it seems to be limited to the right channel, so I was able to work around it by making this a mono recording, taken from just the left channel. | 12/23/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitGeneral Purpose Podcast #97: Countdown to the Solstice (No Days to Go) | The shortest day is here!

This is a sort of opener, in which we talk about segregation, schools, and a bit about being a bi-racial couple.

CleanGeneral Purpose Podcast Bonus: The Future Soon (Jonathan Coulton Cover) featuring Isaac Potts | Take my 13-year-old son, have him sing a Jonathan Coulton song about adolescence, love, and robot armies. Screw around with it. Listen to the results. Add some tracks. Screw with it some more. Add some cowbell. Then, since it is already incredibly screwed-with, screw with it one more time. Finally, it seems right! So, here it is. Isaac sings the main vocal line, although his voice is Cher-ized and heavily processed. There is a scratch vocal track of mine in there, but it is beaten to a pulp. Then, an sweet and mellow acoustic guitar turned into something not so sweet, and a fretless bass that grew tentacles and tried to strangle me as I mixed it. | 11/23/08 | Free | View In iTunes |
