Your Mother Hates This Show!

EPISODE 12: Alternate What Ifs. Join hosts Lisa and Dean... er... Mike and John as they examine the possibilities of alternate realities and alternate histories. They take a good look at the literary form, as well as some specific, and sometimes surprising, authors. The crunchy goodness continues with a look at alternate history and gaming. Plus, as an added bonus, they've got some primo alternate history websites to share! With all this great material, there's no way they could cover it all and still have time to sleep. So, sadly, comics fall victim to the parademons of time (but, that just leaves more fodder for the listener forums). Rounding out the episode is a lovely little tune from Barenaked Ladies. Running time is about 92 minutes. So, download this episode and explore the possibilities. File Size is 31.6Mb.

EPISODE 11: The Big Con. After two weeks of pimping FallCon 2006, Mike and John attempt their first ever live show!

Special guest interviews include comic artists Gene Ha (who has a few little tidbits for the gamers, as well) and Chris Jones, as well as a nice chat with first-time congoers, the McKinley Family (yep, the whole family... or, at least four of them). And no trip away from the studio would be complete with a lovely tune featuring the dulcet tones of legendary Hawaiian crooner, Don Ho. Running time is about 87 minutes.
