So there we all were yesterday morning, all ready to record episode 71 of the Ricochet Podcast. We hit the record button and....nothing. No problem, switch to the back up record system! Eh....no dice. So, the upshot is, no podcast this week. But, after 70 consecutive weeks, perhaps we were due for a week off. In any case, we'll be back next week for sure with a new R> Podcast and a bevy of premium podcasts too. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Oh, no! I was looking forward to a calm discussion on Sarah Palin possibly entering the race :-(

 What am I paying this membership fee for?  Oh wait, the podcast is free.  But still, I'll have to make up my own Tweets instead of ripping off and then distorting podcast quotes.  This is gonna get ugly out there.  Bottom of the barrel stuff.

Let's all just be grateful that I'm not a pilot or an engineer at a nuclear power plant.

I am crestfallen. I was truly looking forward to the podcast, as I always do. Perhaps I will have to pause living vicariously through your, albeit erudite, punditry.

Did Rob chicken out after the intervention last week?

What is the secret origin for the name "Blue Yeti"?

Two podcasts next week would make up for this...

Just sayin...

The highlight of my Thursday evening  - you've spoiled us by being on 70 weeks in a row.   

Nothing to do but listen to some older podcasts, and look forward to next week.

I didn't want to hear your stupid podcast anyway!

I propose next time you get a stenographer to do a transcript as back up. Then if the recording doesn't work, have Blue Yeti make one of those bad computer animation movies with the text to speech dialogue from the transcript. Then we could listen to Rob as a computerized British girl.

All together, "Hi Canuckski!"

The photo comes from here: an endless buffet of historical confections called "Shorpy." Bygone times, streetcorner tableaus, magnificent shots of titanic skyscrapers, often with astonishing detail. The proprietor of the site uses Library of Congress material, then applies his own blend of herbs and spices to repair or restore.  The commentariat is pretty good, too, sleuthing out the tiny details in the margins of the shots. Worth a bookmark. That's Shorpy.com.

It's just as well.  I was starting to get creeped out by James' opening bits and his weird segues.
