A podcast where geek-culture meets the real world … from the minds behind Dragon*ConTV. Sometimes serious, mostly funny, always a little off-center.
Stephen may not be on podcasts for a while, but he has a great excuse …
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 …
WhatTheCast now has a profile on Twitter, as Brian gets dragged kicking and screaming into social networking. http://twitter.com/WhatTheCast
This post also doubles as a test of a Twitter plugin that floods our profile with posts from whatthecast.com & siliconchef.com.
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.
As we discussed in Episode 6, April 23 is International Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Day … in honor of Howard Hendrix’s now-infamous webscabs rant. Check out the free fiction that people are releasing today.
Something very unfunny happened on April 1, 2007 … Joe Murphy, podcaster featured on Wingin’ It and Slice of Scifi, passed away after a long bout with leiomyosarcoma carcinoma. Given Patrick’s recent loss of his mother, we know this is a terrible way to lose a good person.
From Patrick, one of our cast members …
Mom’s oxygen numbers plummeted over night. Dad received a call at 3:30am saying that we were needed at the hospital. Her condition had finally worsened such that no machine could bring her oxygen levels up again. Around 11am we had the most difficult discussion of my life.

We have no words to properly express our sadness. Patrick’s family is in our thoughts. If you’d like to make a charitable donation, we recommend the MPD Foundation, which funds research into the family of diseases Dale suffered from.
