FBSD Episode SE05: Battlestar Galactica

Posted by Tony on April 25th, 2008

Herein we chat about the kick off to Season 4 of Battlestar Galactica.

There is drinking and swearing and spoiling. Kinda like the bar that the pilots all hang out at.

Phil from The Red Earth Saga and Melina join Adam and Tony for this recording that took place mere minutes after watching the episode the night it premiered.

FBSD Episode SE04: Really Big Things and Smallville

Posted by Tony on June 20th, 2007

In this episode, special guest Paul Maki joins me to chat about his serial fiction podcast Really Big Things.

The audio is a bit dicey and this was the first time I recorded via Skype.  It’s not horrible, but there are a few noticeable  points where Skype cut out.  I left them as they were, as it would have been a royal pain to do even more editing for only a second or two of inconvenience.

More detailed notes to follow.

Hey everyone,

It’s been a busy week for both of us, so we are running just a bit behind. To make up for that, I wanted to present you with what I’ve been working on that is keeping me so busy this week.

Rest in Peace, Mason Rocket.

Posted by Tony on April 2nd, 2007

I’m going to have to go back on what I said in our last episode, there will be no new show this week.

We received news yesterday, April 1st, 2007 that Joe Murphy, our friend, fellow podcaster and ‘brother’ in the FarPoint Media family, has fought his battle with leiomyosarcoma carcinoma to its finish. We joining many members of our extended family and honoring Joe’s memory with a week of silence. We will probably attach an updated promo for the Joe Murphy Memorial Fund at some point this week.

Take care and join us in raising a root beer to the heavens. We miss you already, Joe.

FBSD Episode SE2: Billibub Baddings Chapter 1

Posted by Tony on January 10th, 2007

This is something a bit different for the Smackdown.

Friend of the Fanboy Smackdown, premier podiobook author, and all around pimp, Tee Morris is just about to release his next podcast audiobook (podiobook) ‘Billibub Baddings and The Case of The Singing Sword’.

He has given us permission to release this first chapter to you guys. This is a full month before the official release of the podcast on February 14th, 2007. I’ve given this a listen and can say that I’m excited to hear the rest of what Tee has in store for the dwarf detective.

Yeah, you read that right. This is a book that erases the lines of genre and sets up some fun characters to tell, what looks to be, a fun story. Not only is the story shaping up nicely, but Tee has enlisted a Who’s Who list of podcasting talent to round out the cast… though oddly I didn’t notice anyone named Tony in that list… He has also hooked up with some incredible musicians. This podcast novel is shaping up to be an audio feast.

Take a listen, let us know what you think here and let Tee know what you think as well. And if you happen to think of it, let him know where you heard about Billi. If we get some good response, maybe we can even get Tee to come on and chat about some movies and the book for us on the show!

More from us soon, we are just finishing our holiday break and recovering from over indulging in all of the joyous festivities and spirits of the season.

For more information on Tee Morris check out his website: www.teemorris.com. Also, check out Baddings Investigations, Inc. - The official blog of the book: www.teemorris.com/billipodcast/
