Still No Posts, But There's a Show Today
Posted by Bill
3 PM EST, on Rightalk Radio. Guests: Ace of Spades y Val Prieto Topics: The state of political discourse; social cons vs. libertarians; pop-culture; Cuban-Americanism; literacy rates; free health care. Toll-free Call-in number: 1-866-884-8255 (866-884-TALK) UPDATE: Rightalk isn't replaying the show. Apparently, it was dirty? Posted by Bill at April 14, 2005 08:52 AM | TrackBack (3) CommentsWhat the hell kind of pie is that, now. It looks like a cone biopsy. Libertarians, fibertarians. What about social cons vs. "just normal" Republicans. The old-fashioned reasonable, self-directed, restrained and logical, Spock republicans who might vote for a centrist Democrat but for all the anti-western civ howling that goes on? I guess the double-lizzle tag might fit...(libertarian leaning). I think a Regis (you) and Kelly-style(Goldstein) trivia question contest might be fun. maube you could give away one of those t-shirts Ace can't sell. Posted by: SarahW
Posted by: The Colossus Maybe he doesn't like Mexican thigh-flan. Posted by: SarahW Mexican? Sarah, that gives me an idea: Bill, your first question to Val should be: "So, where do you stand on the issue of 'your people' being confronted by those 'Minutemen' in Arizona?" (Cubans LOVE being associated with being Mexican) Posted by: JFH Hmmm. We hadn't thought of that. Posted by: Bill from INDC I kid because I love the traditional Cuban treats. Posted by: SarahW The pastry in the picture is a Cuban Capuchino. Its kinda like a cone shaped cake soaked in almibar (syrup). They are incredibly delicious. Posted by: Val Prieto Bill, Excellent show. Very entertaining. Posted by: Lloyd Thanks. Posted by: Bill from INDC That's right Bill. Just keep rubbing it in our faces that you are a BIG TIME MEDIA SUPERSTAR. While you were busy with your radio show, some of us were live blogging our freshman level tests. You know, from our JOBS. Not that I'm bitter..... Posted by: Dr. Glenn Reynolds "The Death card!" Died laughing. Posted by: SarahW Question Sarah - was the beginning too dirty? Posted by: Bill from INDC I got home a minute or two into the show....did I miss being affronted by something dirtier than the expurgated e-mail / limited sausage hangout remarks? I'd re-listen to the beginning but all I get is some high-energy guys with the radio delivery style known as puking. Posted by: SarahW Dude, Posted by: Dr. Glenn Reynolds Apparently, there was some problem with the content. Posted by: Bill from INDC Hmm. Found out from your comment elsewhere why they aren't replaying the show... I'm no FCC arbiter of public decency but wasn't offended. Considering the blogs I admit reading, I might be a poor judge of what's ok for radio. But Cheese it! Anyone familiar with your first guest has already had their eyes singed once or twice, if not burnt out of their sockets, by blog content. Posted by: SarahW Bill, As a fan of your site, Jeff's, and Ace's I was very much looking forward to today's show. It was much different than I expected, but still good. Jeff writes that RightTalk won't replay the show. Why? Was it the profanity? Posted by: Kadnine Whoops.. I'd have had my answer if only I'd waited a minute or so... Pulled the same mistake over at Ace's... Posted by: Kadnine The show was a hoot! Triple HAH!! Posted by: Diana There were several times during the show that I said "Uh-oh." The opening was risque but not overly so. Humping a commenter's wife, followed by Ace's use of the words fuck, shit and piss probably didn't help the producers. FWIW. More importantly, I really took to heart your comment at Ace's concerning commenters as basically jock-sniffers who wait to jump into comment threads like Beatles fans outside a concert. Good luck with all your future endeavors. Posted by: JWebb JWebb - More importantly, I really took to heart your comment at Ace's concerning commenters as basically jock-sniffers who wait to jump into comment threads like Beatles fans outside a concert. Question: why do you interpret that comment as me as taking a swipe at anyone other than the person that I specifically directed it to? With the appropriate pronouns and everything. Seriously the "concerning commenters" (plural) thing is just weird. Care to explain your decision to take offense? Posted by: Bill from INDC Whoops! Reread your comment at Ace's. My apologies! Feel free to delete that part of my comment. Or just leave it up so I'll remember I'm as big a deslexic asshole as everyone says I am. Posted by: JWebb I was surprised to hear the vulgarity as my brain was in 'old-school radio' mode. But I assumed Internet radio wouldn't have the issue that the ancient dinosaur radio has. Guess I'm wrong. Then again, I'm sure RT caters to the social cons too. I was surprised at the slight tension between you two and Ace. I didn't read the thread you all were talking about so I didn't know the whole story, but it really sounded like you were about to start tearing into him. Now what does a guy hafta do to get on your show? Posted by: Sharp as a Marble Listening to the Ace part at the moment. Believe me, you’re doing fine. Beats some of the stuff that gets onto BBC radio. A technical question. You’re phoning this in right? Both of you to the studio? I’m not sure how the US phone system deals with digital phones (ISDN and so on) but if they are easy/cheap to get you’ll be able to increase the voice quality immensely. Certainly I’ve seen systems (in other countries) where you can end up phoning in full voice over quality. Using Skype might also help as the sound quality is better than the average phone line. VOIP phones as well. That’ll add a great deal of timbre (and also bass) to your voices. That’ll also aid the slight flatness I think I hear in your voices...sort of not "radio voices". If you listen to some of the voices in the ads and the announcers from the station you’ll see what I mean. You (sorry, this is sounding too critical, it isn’t meant to be, more trying to be helpful) need to exaggerate a little more on radio as people don’t have the aid of visualization. Just breathe a little deeper and force the voice a little more. Y’know, like an actor.
