Once again, Joey and I show the world why we have a weekly TALK show instead of a weekly MUSICAL NUMBER. For the misanthropes out there, you'll enjoy our TNG rendition of Unforgettable. Mediocre episodes this week for us to talk about, but we were able to have some good conversation none the less. This podcast covers episodes 21-24 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 6.
Various topics discussed in this podcast include: 10 books that screwed up the world The philosophy of why Joey thinks he is always right Can the mentally ill be held responsible for what they do? Exploring your darker side Xenophysiology must be the toughest field of study Dealing with a personal religious crisis Boots should not be worn on a star ship Joey can control his bladder I Fight Dragons JC Hutchins 7th Son Novel Direct MP3 Download RSS Feed Subscribe Using iTunes Here are the ratings that we gave for each show: Continue reading "Podcast 39: Unforgetable - That's what Kahless is..." Monday, October 19. 2009Podcast 38: Lessons learned
Alright, so we didn't learn any lessons to change our (or probably anyone else) lives this podcast. But we did learn that no matter how early we start, we still won't end recording our television podcast until 1am. We also learned that even when we say we have nothing to talk about, we still end up with a podcast over 2 hours. We also learned that when we finally get to discussing constitutional stuff in The West Wing we will probably be arguing a lot (as evidenced by our near shouting match on the topic of rights). Finally we are really pleased to have finally put together two promotional spots that we can use to help market us (links for promo 1 and promo 2). We only know of one person willing to do this so far, but it's good to have something put together in case there are others.
There were no guests for this week. This podcast covers episodes 16-20 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 6. Various topics discussed in this podcast include: TW5 Promotional spots The right to die in battle Should you point out the truth if it will destroy peace? Worf is a racist Why does music evoke so much emotion? Should a captain be allowed to date a subordinate? Joey hates public displays of affection Do you own your DNA?

Well we were finally able to get back to watching episodes, but could only get through 3 of them in this weeks Star Trek the Next Generation television podcast. You win this round Life. By the end of the evening Joey and I were just too tired to go on any further. I believe that I actually put my head down after our conversation of Tapestry and moaned: "Can we stop now?" Thankfully Joey was just as exhausted, so I didn't feel like a total wimp. We will cover the missed episode next week for Podcast 38. This podcast covers episodes 13-15 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 6.
Various topics discussed in this podcast include: Good listener email from Pete's Friend Jon Madsen - life and self awareness Keeping a journal and personnel records Joey has a manifesto. Be Scared! Do individuals make that much difference in the world? Helping someone see reason How many puppies can Joey kill to save a human so that the ends justify the means?

Comments (10) Trackbacks (0) Podcast 35 "Poetry Special"Well, I promised we'd publish it – and, since I had to make a last-minute trip out of town this weekend, it seemed the best chance we had at putting up some new material for all of you – so here is our "Poetry Special" from Podcast 35. We'd like to thank the following people and the authors of the poets they mentioned. Wherever possible, I've tried to include links to the poets and the poems read – unfortunately, some of the sites linked to are filled with annoying flash ads. We hope you enjoy this as much as we enjoyed recording it. Anne – There's a Certain Slant of Light (LXXXII) by Emily Dickenson Jared
Aaron – Listen to the Mustn’ts by Shel Silverstein Listener Jim – Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll Listener Jim (and Joey) – Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost Peter
Monday, September 28. 2009Podcast 36: We saw 4 lights!
After 16 weeks of awesome commentary, we finally called Jim and brought him into the podcast via telephone, and he responded with an outstanding guest performance. While we were worried about sound quality, everything sounds pretty good. We also had Aaron join for the second week in a row. This podcast covers episodes 9-12 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 6.
Various topics discussed in this podcast include: Learning Machines Joey wears black stockings The change of command Just get it done!

Monday, September 21. 2009Podcast 35: Poetry in Podcasting
Well technically we don't actually discuss the poetry in this podcast, but in a separate special release that will be posted later. But we did have quite a lot of fun Friday night. We had long time contributor Aaron come back and join us. While we wouldn't quite describe him as having an air of authenticity about a television podcast, he can be quite funny (either as joke teller or the butt of). And his ratings are different enough from Joey and I to provide some good comparison. Basically if you agree with Aaron, there is something wrong with you. We look forward to having him come back on. This podcast covers episodes 5-8 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 6.

I was so pumped for this Sunday to get here because of the return of the NFL. And due to that, it took Joey and I a while to edit the podcast. So there is a good chance we might have even missed a couple of things. But at least it was also a good start to our latest season of podcasting about Star Trek The Next Generation. My Friend Jon Madsen was able to join us for the last TNG/Original Series crossover episode. This time it was about Captain Montgomery Scott: Scotty. Beam us up to that great warp core in the sky James Doohan, we miss you. This podcast covers episodes 1-4 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 6.

Well we bring to a close the best season of TNG so far. It is going to be pretty difficult to beat this one. We gush on and on about the episode The Inner Light, but over all this was a fun podcast for Joey and I to record. We also started a new tradition for the beginning of the podcast: high five. Let's see how long it sticks around for. Due to our secret location we had no guests. This podcast covers episodes 25-26 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 5.

We capped off another long work week for Joey and I with a very fun podcast. We went in to the early hours of Saturday recording, but kept it strong through to the end. I think you will really enjoy the discussion topics this week. We were hoping to have my friend Rhett come and join us for I-Borg, but he was so scared that he made up some lie about having a party at his cabin this weekend. Pretty lame.

We were pretty concerned with how this podcast was going to go. But we think things ended up turning out ok. Due in part to our special guest Anne. This podcast covers episodes 17-20 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 5.

As Joey likes to put it, the experiment failed. We have moved back to our 4 television episode per podcast format. I was really hoping that we could shorten the podcast length but it seems that it does not matter how many Next Generation television episodes we cover we still seem to end up over 2 hours. Oh well it was worth a try. We were pleased to have Jared pop in on us this week to lend his assistance on Ethics. And we also had lots of listener comments (thanks to Listener Jim, My Friend Jon Madsen, Simon, and Julia). This podcast covers episodes 13-16 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 5.

Out of fear of saying something really stupid we decided that we needed to make sure we had some sort of female presence on this weeks television podcast. We invited a couple of women but only one was able to join us: Katie. And as a result we had a great time. Katie did a fantastic job and we look forward to having her come back on.

We geeked out so hard to these episodes that I ended up getting a pretty powerful headache. So by the time we got to the last episode for this podcast we had to turn out the lights in order for me to continue on. Thankfully my friend Jon Madsen was there to help pick up my slack. It was really fun to have an original series cross-over with Leonard Nimoy reprising his role as Spock. Another consequence of our geeking, is that my experiment to reduce podcast length goes right out the window. I guess all I can say is thank goodness we didn't discuss 4 episodes or this might have gone to 4 hours. We almost died recording this one. This podcast covers episodes 7-9 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 5.

Well the great experiment of trying to trim podcast time down continues (a little over 2 hours this week). But even more awesome is the fact that we now have a Trek West 5 Twitter hash tag where you can keep up on: the latest TW5 news, chat with other TW5 listeners, find out about upcoming podcast episodes, and possibly get in on the ground floor of cool giveaways. But not so much of that last one. We have also decided to tap in to the wondrous beauties of a Google Phone Number. If you would like to call in and leave a brief (no more than two and a half to three minute) message/comment about the podcast, the episodes, or Joey and Peter just call in to this number: 801-788-4913.
We had no guests, so you are left to enjoy the dulcet tones of Joey and Peter. But once again, Listener Jim comes away with a few doosie comments. Very hilarious. This podcast covers episodes 4-6 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Season 5. Various topics discussed in this podcast include: Do you prefer short or longer podcasts? New ways to keep up with TW5: Twitter and Google phone number: 801-788-4913 Writing vs. Verbal communication Animal sentience? If they aren't sentient then does it matter if we kill them?
