Send us a textA local theater company in the Chicagoland suburbs is performing Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, the Play. Once I knew it existed I had to see it.

In a galaxy not so far away, a ragtag group of friends (James, Dwayne and Glenn of TJP) gathered for a cosmic conversation that spanned from the mundane to the mind-bending. The Gang debated the fate of Tesla, pondered the mysteries of quantum computing, and marveled at the solar eclipse's fiery corona. Misconceptions were dispelled with the finesse of a Vogon poetry slam, and WiFi woes were tackled with the tenacity of a galactic hitchhiker. Conspiracy theories were tossed around like a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, and historical tales from New Orleans were proposed for future exploration. The friends navigated their journey through the universe of ideas with humor, curiosity, and a healthy dose of skepticism. As they parted ways, they left with action items and minds buzzing with the wonders of existence, ready to boldly go where no conversation had gone before

Brush up on your early 19th century English literature before reading Dirk Gently's holistic Detective Agency. Jeff and Bryan got more than they bargained for tackling this book. Hear what they think and how they pieced together this intricate plot.This has been a Froods for Thought production.

As Narrator 2 says in this episode, "English majors must perforce English maj," so here's the episode you've all been dreading: the Fakespeare. Come on, stop whining, you knew it was coming. If you're not familiar with A Midsummer Night's Dream, well, there are lots of really excellent versions out there. We prefer you NOT listen to those, however, as that's going to make this seem even more torturous than being read Vogon poetry before being shot out into space. That said, it was fun to write and fun to do, so ... get over it. Also, the second half should show up on Feb. 14, a day some folks seem to think is special. Thou hast been listening to... David S Dear as Dr. Theo Bromae Kevin Hall as Greg Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield Eric Perry as Dr. von Haber Zetzer Shannon Perry as Olivia Chrisi Talyn Saje as Julie Tim Sherburn as Colin Sarah Rhea Warner as Pipistrelle Bonnie Brantley as Duckweed, Wooly Sedge, Horsetail, and Cattail. Kyle Jones is your Narrator 2, And Chris Nadolny Gourley is your Narrator. Our music was writ by John Faley, and our artwork from the fevered brow of Lucas Elliott. Sarah Golding our dialogue did edit, and Shannon Perry our sound design'ed. Lamentably, our story of Oz 9, much like the alien of old, did explode from the head of Shannon Perry and wreaketh much havoc upon a space ship. Check out more nonsense at https://oz-9.com. Know you now that Oz 9 doth hang about with many a rascally and ill-reputed tale amidst the Fable and Folly Network; go thee hence to fableandfolly.com and there beguile your idle hours with true delights.

With the business world all amped up about the power of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI), with tools such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard, one Austin-based company is taking a markedly different approach. Crowdpoint Technologies has announced a foil to the hallucinations of Large Language Models: Authentic Intelligence, delivered by the trusted data of registered users on its Vogon Cloud.    Check out this special July 4th episode that delves into the underbelly of LLMs and why organizations must rely instead on governed, trusted, deterministic data. Oh, and there's also the part about Crowdpoint landing a $20MM investment of silver to collateralize the company's crwdunits, SEC-filed securities that serve as credits for its hyperscale cloud platform. And something about entropic models and the importance of randomness. Enjoy!

Chaos prevails in this brand new Neoborn and Andia episode in which comedy meets social commentary and intriguing artistic questions with their never-given answers.Rainbow? What's wrong with those prism coloured light-waves? It's an actual 21st century question when kindergartens and shops are vandalized because of this Irish green-man slide - and astoundingly, not because of the hidden gold or treasure just because of the littleness of immature minds from where even empathy escaped. Odd they spend so much time and effort on unicorn farts...The little mustard coloured, pants-free, obese and slightly even more obnoxious talking toy-bear (we can't say or write his name down because in China Winnie-the-pooh is blacklisted and we want to think of our Chinese listeners, who can not read, talk or write about Winnie-the-pooh since their supreme leader feels a visual similarity would bring dark lights...) has an issue in this world...And the schools, the whole deducation system which prevents success from people unless they leave it as fast as possible, way earlier than majority.Dads are also important! There are children who acknowledge them - despite the heavy neglect by the mainstream media and the fashion the naysay them.An actual story with Freddie Mercury and David Bowie (no sex involved in this one, since our show is not R rated...) with a very important lesson for all the artists and wannabes these days (yes, there is a significant difference between them).Speaking of music: Lemon Pets is a new band! Know more!Neoborn and Andia announces the "specials" are coming this summer. They have a lot of guts and balls to talk about abortion. In the "specials". By the way, can you dry hump with green tea?Plus, the giraffes! Yes, all the four species of them. What? It's not how the deducators made you believe with their outdated but forced knowledge? Wait no more: the latest scientifical researches are here!The "Tik-tok Tapes" are out - and still not an R-rated show! All the big surveillance machines you never wanted to accept the truth about.And finally, the Vogon-stopper "Contemporary British Poetry" is back with a live performance! Will it be painful? Oh yeah!From now on: reviews and live-reactions only the bands and artists who leave a few good thoughts with their stars on the platforms! Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
