Sarah X Dylan! Greg Nibler! Funemployment Radio! Greg and Sarah are delightful humans, podcasters, radio veterans, nice friends, and more! Listen to us talk... if you dare! (You're very daring, I bet.) Love to all!
Sarah X Dylan has outdone herself, by not only royally trolling Greg on on his own Facebook account, but also by deciding she was too sick to show up today. Fear not! The auditions for her "role" on Funemployment Radio are in full effect today with Kielen King and Tristan Mayer joining the show. A lot is covered between a reading of the troll, to a recounting of the epic Couve Night Fight.
Kielen King fills in for the absent Sarah X Dylan and he is in a stellar mood because his Kickstarter just got funded! The kicker.....Greg was the one that put him over the edge into being funded for the last amount. This of course makes Greg believe he is the CEO of Kielen's book now. Also, a bigfoot discussion, and a debate about who could survive in a bunker the longest.
For the 24nd episode of Spec Script we read an episode of BREAKING BAD written by SHANE HOSEA, someone who has never seen the show. This episode was recorded at the wonderful PORTLAND PODCAST FESTIVAL in Portland, OR. The festival was so much fun and we thank Sarah X Dylan, Jason Lamb, and Greg Nibler with all our hearts for making such a wonderful celebration of podcasts! CAST WALTER WHITE - Nathan Brannon JESSE PINKMAN - Carolyn Main SKYLAR - Sarah Jones OFFICER DEAN NORRIS - Nick Sahoyah MRS.

Live from the 2018 Portland Podcast Festival, it's time for "Deafula"! The only movie to ever be made completely in American Sign Language, "Deafula" is an amazing treat. As Brian "The Unipiper" noted: "It's like 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' meets 'The Room.'" Made in 1975 and only sold on 16mm film (it was a few years too early for VHS), "Deafula" was almost lost to time, and not even available at Portland's venerable Movie Madness -- until now, because we've donated our personal copy to them. It truly is an amazing cult classic, and it was filmed in our very own city of Portland. Special thanks to Jason Lamb, Greg Nibler, and Sarah X. Dylan for putting on another great podcast festival, and thanks to everyone who came out!
Sarah X Dylan may have exactly what you're looking for! A diet that fits exactly what she wants to eat, AND can help our buddy lose weight and it involves...babybell cheese. Would you eat free street cheese? In World of Crazy: Monopoly, Evil Yoga, Dating App. Thanks to NEXT ADVENTURE!
Sarah X Dylan is in her last day of her 37th year, and she has come to a realization that she may be old enough to be called...a Spinster. Whatever the previously negative connotations, she is determined to take the word back! Also, Greg has a very big announcement about his work with Digital Trends. The question is though...what does he put in his cubicle? In Ball Talk: Dodgers, and a fight. Thanks to BLACK'S PEST SERVICES!
A "controversial" Instagram post by Sarah X Dylan has resulted in some backlash online from the bird community. Was her bird shaming post a just and proper scolding of a Portland group, or is she about to face the backlash that she didn't see coming? We need your thoughts! Plus, she has a burrito in a mason jar. In World of Crazy: Space Needle, Leftovers, Rick & Morty. Big thanks to NEXT ADVENTURE!
Episode 1980 corresponds with the year of birth for one Sarah X Dylan. As such, she has demanded that Greg read her 'manifesto' of sorts, exclaiming her incredibly well adjusted life and accomplishments. It's.....hard for Greg to do. Also, in World of Crazy: New Best Friend Fight, Lying Liar. Ball Talk: MLB World Series Prediction.
Sarah X Dylan has an incredible talent in painting animal portraits. However, like all artists, she has self-doubt. This is where Greg steps in to try to capitalize on her abilities. In World of Crazy: Burrito Throwing; KFO; Mobile Hot Tub; Barney's New Life. Ball Talk: NBA DRAMA. We'll see you on 1/27/18 at Landmark Saloon for the FER Experience and FER Bingo with Not Your Mom's Iced Tea! Plus tickets to Anti-Flag!
This time we live in is a feast of audio storytelling. You can find a podcast for any interest, from Harry Potter to stories of death-defying survival, and it turns out Oregon is a hotbed of homemade shows. In fact, several enterprising producers have joined forces to host the first-ever Portland Podcast Festival on Dec. 2 at the Hawthorne Theater.We’re taking this as an opportunity to talk to them about their shows, and to spotlight some more of our favorites made in Oregon. On this week’s episode:Minority Retort - 1:30Jason Lamb’s morning drive drops as part of the XRAY-FM feed feature conversations that reflect what’s going on in communities of color — often featuring stand-up artists Lamb’s met hosting the monthly “Minority Retort” comedy showcase. Funemployment Radio - 5:31Greg Nibler and Sarah X Dylan have chops honed by years in the trenches of terrestrial radio. But when they turned their powers to podcasting, freed from the constraints of 3-5 minute breaks, their creativity found a fifth gear. Voted Portland’s Best Podcast in the Willamette Week's 2016 and 2017 Readers’ Polls, Funemployment Radio tackles all kinds of subjects, but shines brightest on the weird stuff.Roam Schooled - 13:58Musician, sound engineer, and producer Jim Brunberg is best known to music fans around Portland as the founder and co-owner of two iconic venues: Mississippi Studios and Revolution Hall. But this side project, undertaken with his twin 8-year-old daughters, is an audio odyssey. Brunberg and the girls hit the road and interview everyone from the governor of Oregon to gun shop owners and Big Foot experts, as they explore big (and sometimes silly) issues, like death, the Second Amendment, fear, memory, and more, under the guiding principle: “Let’s go find out.” While the touchstone from each episode are questions from the girls, this podcast is one for the grown-ups.Jay and Miles X-Plain the X-Men - 23:34In 2014, Jay Edidin and Miles Stokes launched a grand experiment to tease out one of the most confusing — and compelling — storylines in comics: the saga of the X-Men, a group of outsider superheroes, mostly hated and feared by humanity. Taking on all the storylines, duplicate backstories, and alternate universe complications in order was no small task, but they ultimately took an even thornier storyline to unravel in their own lives. We love the podcast for their ultra-brainy takes and intensive research on the publishing history and the sheer glee they derive from Marvel’s intricate superhero soap-opera.Outside Podcast - 35:47Gorgeous production values and edge-of-your-seat storytelling are the hallmarks of this podcast offshoot from "Outside Magazine." Whether telling harrowing survival stories (getting cast adrift at sea, getting struck by lightening, getting treed by a jaguar, oh my!), interviewing extreme athletes of all stripes, or wandering far and wide with stories of the natural world, Portland-based Robbie Carver and Peter Frick-Wright are laser-focused on bringing each episode home with a slam-dunk narrative clinch.
The world is full of wonder for Sarah X Dylan and while shiny things are not the object of her obsessions today, the sense of amazement is still there. Chili is not the object of fascination and her and Greg are attending a Chili Jamboree this weekend. Naturally, Greg needs to figure out a way to take advantage of the situation. In World of Crazy: Car Wash; Cop vs. Cop; Stolen Pizza; Coolio. Get your tix to the PDX Pod Festival and your free beer from Mountain Ale!
Sarah X Dylan has been asked to be part of a really amazing panel this weekend. She has many, many, years of experience in podcasting, but not a lot in being on a panel. Greg runs her through the gauntlet, to see how she handles various situations... Big thanks to our fine sponsors, NEXT ADVENTURE and introducing SMALL TOWN BREWERY as a fine sponsor of the PDX POD FESTIVAL!
GUESTS: RANDY SKLAR, JASON SKLAR, DANIEL VAN KIRK. Today we were joined by our friends, the Sklar Brothers who brought along Daniel Van Kirk!
