Ok gang, we’re trying something a lot different and we hope it’s going to work out. If you like this episode please let us know … and let everybody else know, because it was a lot of fun and I’d like to do a bunch more stuff like it.

This week, the events surrounding the ferry accident. An AZCorp promotional contest announcement for listeners (and yes we’re totally serious about it, see further down the notes for details), a new sponsor, op-ed news from the northeast, and more.

‘Contest’ details: Make a video of yourself singing the AZCorp jingle (the one that Azzie sings in the AZCorp ads) and email us a link to wherever you’ve posted it (preferably not somewhere spammy, thanks. You can get our contact details at the end of the show). Once we’ve gotten a chance to see it we’ll email you a digital copy of our ebook ‘The Miskatonic University Beginner’s Guide to Old One’s Yoga‘. This offer is valid through the end of June 2014.

All that said, doing the show this way is a lot more time and effort than the old conversational show that we have been doing up until now, so I’m really serious about bringing other people in to help with scripting and story ideas, so listen to the end of the show for info on how to submit that kind of thing if you’re interested in helping out.

Thanks

-Jack

Also, script and clip submissions are now open! Have a skit, clip, or … well frankly anything funny that you’d like to be a part of the Alt-reality of BD? Details in the show about how to make that happen!

Much thanks to everybody we met at the con, it was epic this year.

As always you can follow Jack on the twitter @ledflashing, and Nick @nicksabot

Also, we finish up with some brief discussion on the upcoming show format change.

Topics:

SCiO, the kickstarter IR Spectrometer … quite possibly the neatest geek gadget of the year.

Soylent is Shipping! … and a lot of people are still freaked out by it.

The FCC hates you. There are 3 months of public comments to try and bend them to the will of the people. Do your thing, internet.

And last but not least, Patents. This week Amazon Patented taking pictures on white backgrounds. Which is crazy. We talk about that and other patent issues that come to mind … like Adam Carolla’s Fight the Trolls campaign.

Season 2 coming back Next Month (May 2014 [translation: Jack needs a few weeks off])

This week enjoy an extended episode clip show of highlights from season 1 featuring all your favoirte guests:

Andy – @LaughPurgatory

Steve Sumner- @OpHuMod

And the Mighty @Troythulu

As always to contact the show you can find Jack @LEDFlashing or email … which you should listen to the episode to get because writing it down begets spam.

Weird Randomness:

This week Jack and Dave talk about the short lifespan of houses in Japan. (Hat tip to Freakonomics), How it’s weird that CVS isn’t going to sell cigarettes anymore, but all the ‘herbal remedies’, sugar, and booze you want, the weird things we westerner’s do with our time, and the trials and tribulations of being made of meat.
