OTM Highlights, 07/24: Innovations in Rice Milling

A year ago Saturday was the last broadcast of The Bryant Park Project. It was a day that we met with sadness, grief, and no small bit of anger – we’ve since edited out the most egregious parts. And on July 14, we saw the first anniversary of the words: Maybe you heard the news; [...]

OTM Recap 7.17 – Being Bob Means Always Having to Say You’re Sorry

It’s recap time again, and this week, it’s a video. Watch for talk about behaviorally targeted ads, skecthy food products, sketchy print ad products (and some paper nomming), and Bob apologizing. This recap was recorded by Kerry, with occasional giggles from Matthew, who’s watching YouTube videos in the next room.

There is a withered child hidden in Bob’s sweater: OTM Highlights, 07/10

There comes a point every Sunday night – and when I’m posting, we’ve inevitably just come home from a potluck supper at a friend’s house – when whatever I’m proudly showing Kerry is met with her sudden sigh of recollection and the question, “Do you know what that looks like?” Which usually throws me off. [...]

OTM Highlights 7/3: Freedom from Myth

Happy Independence day, media fans. I hope you all had a good time barbecuing, swimming, being off work and blowing things up. We had an excellent weekend full of all of those things. Sadly, the party’s over now, and it’s back to work. Recap time! This week, Brooke and Bob pull an Adam and Jamie [...]

Like ninjas, we wait in the shadows: OTM Highlights, 6/26

Just a few minutes ago, I watched Kerry tease the cat with a ribbon. It’s one of my favorite things in the world to watch cats try to hunt their toys. The best part of all is when the cat hangs out underneath the couch waiting for just the right moment to take two careful [...]

Putting the pieces together: OTM Recap, 06/12

We’re about two weeks into being homeowners, and we’re still without internet at home. Sort of. Right now, I’ve got myself tucked away in a corner, sniffing out whatever dregs of internet seep out unprotected from the neighbors’ houses. We’ve been trying to unpack, but the thing is, most of our boxes are packed tigher [...]

OTM Recap 5/22: Relating to You, Publicly.

This week’s OTM was all about public relations. And the ShamWow guy. Bob hosted the episode solo, without a single mention of the newspaper industry. Here’s the video: OTM Recap: Memorial Day Weekend from Radio Sweethearts on Vimeo. This recap was recorded by Kerry with help from the dog and viewers like you.

OTM Recap, 5/15: Out of my brain on the 5:15

OTM Recap: Out of my brain on the 5:15 from Radio Sweethearts on Vimeo. In this post I mention the story about Wolfram Alpha. Here’s that link. It’s not too often I’ll be doing this, as my current computer is way slower than Kerry’s, and lacks a built-in camera. Have a good week.

OTM Recap 5/8: Have You Got Prince Albert in a Can?

If so, Bob asks that you please let him out. On The Media Recap – May 8th from Radio Sweethearts on Vimeo. Listen to this week’s episode.

Why swine flu will kill us all

Okay, so swine flu can kill people and it can be transmitted from human to human. I’m not seeing how that’s any different from any other flu, except that this is somewhat unseasonable.
