It's a throwback to last year with audio from the Wizard World 2019 panel that David moderated! The Wizard World 2019 panel on paranormal podcasting included various Chicagoland podcasters speaking about the ins and outs of the trade. The event didn't have audio recording of its own, so Flora brought a handheld recorder and picked up the panel. The quality is not the greatest, but it was a fun discussion! The panel featured Dark Mark Soloff of Blastropodcast, Brent Hand of Hysteria 51, Nick Mataragas of Freak of the Week, and Bob Anderson of Bob After Dark. Flora moderated and asked questions of the panelists and fielded questions from the audience. It's a fun distraction between episodes, so enjoy this bonus drop from Blurry Photos!

Harry Connickuh, everybody! This week, Mark Soloff of Blastropodcast and Our Fair City flies in from his home planet to celebrate the week before Christmas, where we sample another entry in the oeuvre of Renaissance man Harry Connick Jr.! This year, we’re melding Connickuh and Christmas a bit with 2013’s made-for-TV movie Angels Sing, in which cynical rad-dad Michael Walker (Connick Jr.) learns the true meaning of Christmas after getting a house at a steal from Weed Santa (Willie Nelson). That meaning, of course, being that you’re not a complete and whole person unless you put up Christmas decorations. SERIOUSLY. Enjoy the madness along with our custom cocktail and drinking rules!* *Oh, and be sure to hit up the Salt Lick BBQ. Yee-hah! (Thanks to our sponsor Cards Against Humanity as part of the Chicago Podcast Coop!)

Guests Mark Soloff of Blastropodcast and Ashley Davis of Jailbird join the crew for a high-stakes mission in space. The possibly irreputable Captain Darcy (Ikks)'s scout ship Raptor is hazardously staffed by podcast fanatic Dottore Baldoro (Mark), regular polygon Dr. Hexagon (Medibot), inexplicable canines Lil Bee (Ashley) and Lil Fly (Nate), and the state-of-the-art Autotarget 9000 (PoorWeather). When mines across the sector are targeted by pirates and the Fleet's first, second, and third choices of teams are unavailable, the Raptor is dispatched to track down the pirates and put a stop to their plunder.Six Feats Under Presents: Lasers & Feelings Blastropodcast oddlookingbird
This week on Alcohollywood, Mark Soloff of Blastropodcast and Ryan Bond of Our Fair City join us to slog through the three hour apocalyptic Western-y flop The Postman, starring/directed by Kevin Costner! In this follow-up to his other sci-fi flop Waterworld, Costner plays a rugged drifter in a desolate, apocalyptic Oregon, who takes up the mantle of “Postman” in order to deliver mail to these post-apocalyptic shantytowns and rebuild America. While there are some neat ideas behind it, the film’s bloated budget, languid pace, and miscast lead results in a three-hour snoozefest that even we have a bit of trouble putting into words. Luckily, we've got some help thanks to our drinking game and custom cocktail, so check those out below!
Andy North and Mark Soloff are at it again! In this episode of Muffed Movies, the boys act out Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back by memory. Dub-step robots, Tokyo-butt punches, and the raunchiest lightsabres this side of Cloud City! This is not an episode of Blastropodcast, but it's so hillarious you'll "hort hort hort" out loud. This episode is a noncommercial fan production. Star Wars is property of Disney Enterprises, Inc.
Mark Soloff and Andy North act out the second half of Star Wars: A New Hope. Will Han Solo learn to care for other people? Will the Tie-Fighter Girls find peace? Will Al Capone's lightsaber-shooting spaceship silence our heroes forever? Find out in our thrilling conclusion!This is not an episode of Blastropodcast, but it's frickin' great, so check it out. This is part 2 of a 2 part episode. This episode is a noncommercial fan production. Star Wars is property of Disney Enterprises, Inc.
With Dottore away from the apartment, idiot-roommate Mark Soloff and special guest Andy North decide to act out Star Wars: A New Hope in its entirety. Shit gets wacky. This is not an episode of Blastropodcast, but it is crazy as a mugg and you should listen to it. Drink every time someone says "suddenly". This is part 1 of a 2 part episode. This episode is a noncommercial fan production. Star Wars is property of Disney Enterprises, Inc.
This week on Alcohollywood, Mark (from the classy science-y comedy podcast Blastropodcast) joins us with our look at Disney’s attempt to cash-in on the Star Wars craze, The Black Hole! A group of hapless scientists and astronauts exploring a black hole find a haunted house-ship occupied by Dr. Hans Reinhardt (Maximillian Schell, channeling Captain Nemo) and a bunch of robots. Once there, they find betrayal, mystery, laser gun fights and surprisingly un-Disney disembowelings – elements that make for a rather atonal, if refreshingly earnest, science fiction picture. Shockingly dark for a Disney movie, the film shows everything from horrifying murders to zombification to a literal descent through hell! The production design is stellar, and John Barry’s score is romantically macabre, but the monotonous, flat acting (even from acting legends like Anthony Perkins, Robert Forster and Ernest Borgnine) and the languorous pace stop the movie dead in its tracks. Still, there’s fun to be had, so take a listen and check out our drinking game and custom cocktail!

Make sure when you send in your show promo, your name and your show are prominently shown in the email, as well as a link back to your website or any other social media properties that you'd like to share with us. This makes it super easy for me to connect with you and PROMOTE you. I do my best to link back to you in as many I've been getting people that have been sending me promos that have no URL anywhere, no email signature and the email address that it comes from doesn't help PLUS the name they've named the promo in no way helps to tell me what the podcast is either. It would make my life easier if you could simply offer that information Libsyn Power Tips How to get two different Media players from your one libsyn account Rob has 2 media players on Podcast411 and today in iOS. If you go to Podcast411.com right now you will see a big player top center - with the artwork for Rich Eisens Podcast (at the time of this writing) - that is his show level player - it has in the artwork and it keeps up to date whenever he publishes a new episode. He doesn't do anything to update it. If you scroll down you will see the episode level players - those stay fixed per the episode they are assigned. How you get both is the following. First you set up the player you want for the episode level. You do that by checking out this support article. Get the size and type you want - then copy the embed code and paste to your site. Next - Set up the player you want for the per episode posts. And leave it set there. Then when you publish your next episode at the end after you hit publish you will get the embed code for just that episode - per the size / type you set up. But wherever you previously embedded the Show level player - it will continue to update to show the most recent episode. URL's To Use when Direct Linking Sometime on websites or twitter we will see people linking to their files but with the wrong URL. They will be using the URL - where their file redirects to. For example it may be - http://ec.libsyn.com/…. or http://hwcdn.libsyn.com…. Those are the wrong URL's to use - they are temp URL's - and can and WILL break in the future. The URL you want to use for direct links to your media files is http://traffic.libsyn.com/YOURSLUG/FILENAME If you check your links and it is not traffic after the http:// - you are doing it wrong. It also can effect your stats - as in not getting counted. The real issue is anything other than the traffic link is a temp URL - and will in the future break - not that it may break - it WILL BREAK. Will using your city's name in your podcast episode get you in trouble? Per Rob's email below: “Hi Rob, this evening I went to a community meeting in Inglewood I go to every month. They love the concept of my radio show. But the block club president suggests I should call the councilman in the city or speak to the city legal lawyer to find out if it's OK to use Inglewood in my title. Only word I know is registered is Realtor(r) what do you suggest I do to verify its OK. thank you for your time” Read this article. The second letter in the article sums it up nicely. In other words - just use Inglewood in your show's name. And if anyone gives you grief - send them the link above. Feed not updating in iTunes This next one is an issue regarding those using Feedburner and a problem with the Podcasts App. A Libsyn user was having problems when listeners tapped to download an episode in the Podcasts App - It streamed fine - but it would not download into the app. It would give an error and time out. We figured out it was not the Libsyn feed - as putting that in direct to the Podcasts App worked fine. It wound up being the person was using Smartcast and Stats for Feedburner. When they turned those items off - Then the downloads started up fine. So if you are using Feedburner - check your show in the Podcasts App and see if you can get it to download, if not make sure to deselect all the smartcast and stats options in Feedburner - which you really don't need anyway if you have Libsyn as your source feed. That issue would be for anyone using Feedburner regardless of where you host or what your source feed is - there is something going on with the Podcasts App - that does not like smartcast and stats options in Feedburner.

Holy libation*! This week on Alcohollywood, we set atomic batteries to power and turbines to speed with the 1966 film companion to the camp TV classic, Batman: The Movie! Join the Caped Crusader (Adam West) and his trusty sidekick Robin (Burt Ward) as they foil a dastardly plot to kidnap the world’s leaders, perpetrated by their combined Rogue’s Gallery of villains! Mark of Blastropodcast joins us as we take a closer look at this bit of 60s silliness, discussing such trenchant topics as the logistics of Batman’s equipment, the selective prosopagnosia of superheroes and supervillains, and the importance of clear labeling when creating world-saving (or ending) gadgets. Along the way, you can cure your dehydration with our Bat-cocktail and Bat-rules! *I was originally going to go with "Holy spirits!" but I realized that would probably get confusing.
This week on Alcohollywood, Clint and Jared (along with our friend Mark of Our Fair City and Blastropodcast) take on the Steven Spielberg classic Jurassic Park, just in time for its release in 3D this weekend! The tale of a group of paleontologists, scientists and children who visit an island based attraction inhabited by newly cloned dinosaurs has captured imaginations for generations, and it's hard to argue against how fun and awe-inspiring the film's visuals are. It's quintessential Spielberg adventure of the finest caliber, bolstered by a great cast that includes Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Wayne Knight and Sir Richard Attenborough. Check out our drinking rules and cocktail before you head out to the theater!
Jared Latore returns to assist Dottore in the first (and perhaps last) installment of Dottore's DIRECTORE'S COMMENTORE series. In this episode, the gents will view and comment on Stephen Spielberg's sci-fi classic Jurassic Park. Listen along while viewing the film at home for a scientific/comedic time-consuming experience!
Short n'sweet! The Schiles explain love to Dottore. Pantalone gets pranked. Questions are fielded. Plus the brokenest link to the epicest wedding video that nobody will ever get to see.
