I'm happy to report that despite being full of turkey and assorted starches, I managed to get a podcast done this week. Sure, television was a little bit light but I share my thoughts about Dexter, Veronica Mars and Heroes this week. I also talk about Sam Lipsyte's novel
The Subject Steve which would make an excellent gift... for someone as twisted as I am.
Happy Thanksgiving!

I also call it a studio. And it's a fantastic place to record a podcast, eat a meal or play cards. Not that anyone has ever gambled in this house. Nope. Never.

This week Derek and I talk turkey - yes, we're punny - about Borat,
The Position by Meg Wolitzer and the best that television has to offer us. We're happy with Dexter, stumped by Heroes, a little concerned about Veronica and quietly optimistic about Jim and Pam.
I share my interest in the Wii - even if I'm skeptical about the spelling.
Shows we discuss: Heroes, Veronica Mars, The OC, Bones, Dexter, How I Met Your Mother, Studio 60, Gilmore Girls, House, My Name is Earl, The Office, 30 Rock, Medium

Derek and two additional friends came by to participate in an (almost) hour long discussion about LOST - the fall finale, an episode breakdown and our predictions for the future. Oh the bitterness, it is almost totally unchecked.

Due to popular demand...
Okay, due to my own hair-brained idea I've secured a phone line for people to call in and leave me (and Derek) voicemail messages for the podcast.
We're going to run a very special LOST roundtable discussion podcast so if you'd like to share your thoughts about tonight's fall finale please call me at: 206-312-9599. And because my mother might be listening, please try to keep it clean.

We still spend a lot of time rambling and talking about television- after all it is the first week of sweeps. Who is pregnant? Who will die?
We also get to a correction*, make predictions about LOST, discuss the merits of Seventh Heaven (you can thank Derek for that), and I tell Derek about the book I read.

Special Guest Derek has returned and I force him to face his childhood traumas, discuss his favorite shows, and taste test candy. We also cover our favorite Halloween episodes and share our very adult fears.

I lure my good friend and fellow TV addict Derek to my humble recording studio (also known as my dining room) to talk about all the shows on TV. Seriously, we talked for an hour and covered everything from One Tree Hill and Seventh Heaven to CSI and Battlestar Galactica.
