A podcast where geek-culture meets the real world … from the minds behind Dragon*ConTV. Sometimes serious, mostly funny, always a little off-center.
This week, Brian runs the show with guest host Steve Eley of Escape Pod and Podholes. Brian and “stunt Stephen” talk about podcasting, Star Trek apartments, Torchwood, sequels and livestock versus children.

Brian from WhatTheCast entered a contest today …
Yep, I entered the NPR Public Radio Talent Quest … a contest I am now calling “This American Idol”.
If you think I should have a shot at hosting a NPR program, then send a vote my way. It may be a total mistake, since my salary as an engineer may soar above that of a public radio host, but it looks like fun.
Brian and Crispy hold down the podcasting fort in this episode. Can two men cover a list of topics that cover Evil Dead: The Music, new babies, European vibrator security problems, the end of Lost and George Lucas on the future of Star Wars?

Kathryn Elizabeth “Liza” Granade was born today at 12:19 P.M. She weighed 7 lbs. 7 oz., and was 19.5″ long. She scored an 8.9 on the Apgar scale.
The birth was not without drama, but everyone is fine. Congratulations to our friends Stephen & Misty on their latest addition to the world.
I, for one, welcome our new Farpoint Media overlords 
The same folks that produce & distribute shows Slice of Scifi, Wingin’ It & Kick Ass Mystic Ninjas are now helping us n00b podcasters If you’re not familiar with the FPM lineup, check out their shows (but save some time to listen to us).
I just finished moving all of our episodes to the Farpoint Media hosting service. I apologize if you end up downloading the same episode again with a different filename, but we needed to fix some problems with our naming conventions.
It’s a fun yet dysfunctional group of people … nothing new for a podcast made up of Dragon*ConTV staffers …

This post also doubles as a test of a Twitter plugin that floods our profile with posts from whatthecast.com & siliconchef.com.
In this WhatTheQuickie, Brian talks about numbers … in particular, hex numbers in the HD-DVD encryption key. The recent controversy behind this key appearing on Digg & Slashdot have inspired the Five Colors Campaign and this nifty ribbon.

Stephen, our resident rocket scientist, has been busy. While waiting for his next baby to be downloaded, Dr. Granade creates a lolcats version of Star Trek “The Trouble With Tribbles” …

His efforts earn him several links from digg, Wil Wheaton & Boing Boing. The server lived to tell the tale, and now Stepehen can bask in his 15GB/s of internet fame.
In this episode, WhatTheCast goes all over the map on conversational topics. We really need a podcast GPS … Brian, Patrick & Stephen talk about the end of Drive, animal sacrifices by Sony, bad ship names in the Navy & the WWE making another bad movie.
