Subscribe for FREE below   From Sex is Fun to PediaCast. This is podcastJunky and I listen to it all. I share the best stuff on my ipod and ask you the question...What are you listening to? And to answer that question, my call in line (714) 855-2639 On today's show if you like This American Life, Extreme sports or Disneyland than I have a show for you. Dirtbag Diaries. Lately in our home my husband has been championing this show. He even called himself an advocate for the show. Finely on the way home from a family outing he knew I was trapped listening to whatever he wanted to play. He connected his ipod and played "Help Wanted" from Dirtbag Diaries . I have to admit, I was hooked. What blew me away was the way it felt like an episode of This American Life. If you've never listened to This American Life you should give it a try, it was at the top of the itunes popularity since it was added to itunes until it was surpassed by Oprah. It's primarily a journalistic show that uses essays, memoirs, found and field recordings to tell true stories in a unique way. Dirtbag Diaries has a similar feel to TAL. But unlike TAL, Dirtbag Diaries focuses on Extreme Sports. Not so much on the sport itself but on the people involved and their stories. You Disney folks hold on, there's something in this for you too. Lets listen to the opening of Help Wanted. *Clip from beginning of "Help Wanted" from Dirtbag Diaries 00:16 - 03:30* Now some minor sound issues in this one episode aside that opening could easily pass for an episode of TAL. Like it's just a slightly less polished version. Now what could be the reason this show is not quite as polished? Oh wait, I know. TAL has a large staff of writers, editors and talent. Dirtbag Diaries has Fitz Cahall. That's it one guy. He's had some help from his wife and brother but for the most part this one guy puts together a show with quality rivals one of the most popular shows on public radio around. Let's listen to some more. *Clip from "Help Wanted" from Dirtbag Diaries 05:05 - 06:46* Have I gotten you hooked yet? This show is so good I had trouble choosing from so many good clips. Now when you get a bunch of young climbers together in a relatively unsupervised situation, there's going to be trouble. *Clip from beginning of "Help Wanted" from Dirtbag Diaries 13:32 - 16:07 Boy that Tink, I knew she had an attitude but sheesh. There's more to that Tink story but you will have to listen to the episode to hear it. Dirtbag Diaries does more than this Micky Mouse stuff. Fitz's wife Becca Cahall brings does a story about getting older and skiing faster in the episode "All These Things" and in"One Golden Hour" we learn the survival story of survival after a fall that could have killed him if it were not for the work of first responders and "The Golden Hour" between life and death. And much more at Dirtbag Diaries. the link will be in the show notes. Don't forget to send in your entry for a signed of Scott Sigler's INFECTED. The due date is May 28.

Now for some Link Love: In the show intro I mentioned Sex is Fun, they are an award winning podcast Dedicated to the rational discussion of human sexuality from the approach of fun, enjoyment and pleasure. This one is not for the kids but as long as you're an adult and not to sensitive the the topic of human sexuality being discussed with a little humor than this is a show to check out. And then if you're not careful, you might find yourself in need of PediaCast A pediatric podcast for parents. This one is very family and work safe. Everyone, parent or not has experienced going to the doctor and forgetting to ask a question or just not getting a full answer because the appointment goes so quick. On PediaCast Dr. Mike takes the time to fully answer all those questions. He also does episodes on current pediatric news and interviews specialists in the area of pediatrics. PediaCast is an excellent resource for parents. Music on this show was now then soon by 3rd Man from the Podsafe Music Network, also the Village Haus Music Loop for which we have Paul Berrie from Window to the Magic to thank. We can also thank Paul for the outro non-music music just called "Matterhorn". It's a bit long, four minutes , but if you have fond Disney memories then you are in for a treat. If your one of those Disney haters and you're still listening, you might want to skip the next 4 minutes. Go Subscribe to Something |

From The The Geek Spin to Sundered. This is podcastJunky and I listen to it all. I share the best stuff on my ipod and ask you the question...What are you listening to? And to answer that question, my call in line (714) 855-2639 On today's show Grammar Girl. Grammar Girl is the Flagship show on The Quick and Dirty Tips Network Other shows on the network are: All of the shows are just a few minutes long and their motto is "Fun, Friendly, Practical advise to help you do things better". Since the shows are only a few minutes long, finding just a clip to play is a bit challenging. So I'm going to play for you an entire episode entitled:Top Ten Grammar Myths,Episode 97 Please visit the above link for the text of Grammar Girls episode 97. Now Grammar girl is not usually a top ten kind of show. I picked that episode because it gives you a flavor for the types of topics she covers. Normally she takes one topic a fleshes it out a bit more. She first gives the rule, with all the fancy words that, for me, fly in one ear and right out the other side. But then she gives examples and easy ways to remember the rules. English class was never this quick or this much fun. Don't forget her book Grammar Girl's Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing can be preordered at Amazon.com  , BooksAMillion.com, and you can also preorder it from your local bookseller by searching Booksense.com.
If its anything like her podcast it will be a handy reference guide,
especially if you don't want to wade through hours of archived shows. Speaking of books,don't forget to send in your entry for a signed of Scott Sigler's INFECTED. The date for this giveaway has been extended. I did not account enough for time shifting habits of the listeners and so entries are just now starting to role in. The new date is May 28. Because of shipping costs this offer is good only in the Continental United States. If you are outside the US you are more than welcome to enter the contest but I will ask you to cover the mailing costs if you win. To enter send your name, mailing address, and a photo of your self with your copy of INFECTED to podcastjunkycontest@gmail.com by May 28, 2008. All I ask is that the winner gives their current copy to a library or friend who would appreciate this fine book. Now for some link love. In toady's intro I used the same two shows mentioned in episode 16 because I completely to talk about link love last time. The Geek Spin is a music show for us geeks. From the same crew that brings you PodCulture, Brad plays music with a fun and “geeky? spin. Sundered is a science fiction podcast novel that is in pre-production. I ran across the first prelude episode and it blew me away. The author Raphael Tehan is currently discovering just how much work it is to create a podcast. He probably thought he was done when he finished his novel. No no, not in a web 2.0 world. Now Raphael will be putting in countless hours to podcast it. He has 2 prelude episodes out now so if you like them, send him some email encouragement. It may help keep him going during the 2am editing sessions. Music on this show was now then soon by 3rd Man and the outro music will be Exclamation by The FuMP. Thanks to the Podsafe Musc Network or whatever they are calling themselves now for making it legal for me to play them. That's it for me. oh wait that's not it for me. I recorded that last night and was ready to hit publish this morning when I exchanged emails with Jack Hosley, the wonderful @WNDRWolf on twitter. On his show Wonder Radio, Jack podcasts and blogs about books, audio dramas, music, funny commercials and parodies. He covers both his own work and others. He is also the person who turned me on to the song you are about to hear. This morning he educated me on the band. The Fump is actually the Funny Music Project. Which is a group of artists that specialize in novelty songs. The band playing Exclamation is actually called Brobdingnagian Bards here is Andrew from the Bards to pronounce the bands name properly.

I Remember Joe: A 2008 TributeThese are the reflections, the memories, and the considerations of people from across the country and around the world that called Joe Murphy “friend?…
These are only a few of the lives this one single voice in the podosphere touched. This is a show that may make you laugh, may make you cry, and will give you a look at the soul we all knew for far too brief a time. For those of you contributing to this audio tribute, we at the Joe Murphy Memorial Fund thank you. |
