SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow, brought to you in this hour by Chris P For President. It’s the straight up biscuits, served by a man we love and… umm… know.
In this episode, I go over some of the feedback to Faux Pas 2009 (2009), we talk about eating alone, and the importance of “booth room”, we discuss The Death of CSB, and what that portends to quite a few local podcasts, and we gave some shouts outs and song requests to the creme de la creamy.
Connecticut School of Broadcasting School of Broadcasting Broadcasting School closed this week, and hundreds of students are reportedly pissed off. It seems there was a stipulation that one of the perks of graduating said CSBSBBS was the use of the facility’s, namely, studio time and check out of AV equipment, and now that the massive organization has gone tits-up, everyone is left in the lurch with regard to their respective demo reels, shows, and sundry projects.
We here at the ‘Cow empathize with everyone involved, and if you need some studio space or help in figuring out what to do now, welcome you to give us a call. Even if just for advice. We like podcasts, and want to see more, not less, of them all around this town. All our support goes out to The Experience, Area 52, The Sports Buzz, Big Dirty Radio, and anyone else affected by the closure.
I had occasion this week to do Atkins at a diner, alone, and found myself in a rare position, namely, silent. Minimal chit chat with the waitress, then a solid ten minutes of quiet, just waiting for food, taking pictures of food, uploading pictures of food, tweeting about food, then responding to the responses about my food, eating my food, and then leaving. Sad. I am very happy to have good friends and a great wife willing to dine out with me, cause I’d be ordering in from now on if that was how every meal went. Ross laughs at my misery, because he loves to be old man at the Denny’s pounding down books and hashbrowns like nobody’s business.
J’s newsbomb is horrfiying, per usual. Enjoy! I am still trying to get him to sign on with the idea of hosting a 24/7 webcam in his house, but he keeps referring to “quality time” and “quantity time”. Both seem to be about ribs.
Stick around and listen in at the end of the episode for a special story by Chris from Mississippi. He’s a budding writer, and I am enjoying his short stories. If any of you would like to read more, drop me a line (moo@somacow.com) and I will get right on it. Also, if anyone has a huge map of the world they would like to donate to SomaCow, I need one now to keep track of all the Chrises. Thanks!

Hey J – No two Chris’s are alike. I’m special damn it!
re: financing the now-defunct CSB … I don’t think CSB directly financed anyone-they helped students who needed financing (which was everyone) find loans through Sallie Mae or Bank of America or anyone else who provided “career training” loans. My loan, for example, is through Sallie Mae, and even last year, with the credit crunch already being felt in February, I needed my uncle and his wife to co-sign with me. So Sallie Mae funded the loan and paid CSB, and now I’m paying THEM back. I suspect it was such for everyone. What’s in question here is whether or not CSB is breaching the terms of the contract we all signed by not being around to provide that “lifetime career support and lifetime use of studios” part.
Sorry to hear about Montine and RSilva’s pup … I was wondering why they missed the show on Saturday … :(
This show has more listeners named Chris than Larry had brothers Darryl…
“That was a lot of inhales” should be the way organizations are run. Present an idea and if there’s a sudden, drastic pressure change in the room, the motion is quashed.
Great story to close out the episode, experienced a wide range of emotions. I felt protective of the kids and animals, anger at the in-laws, and sympathy for the offending dog at the end.
Hey, I appreciate you guys giving a little shout out to us with regards to CSB being shut down. It was a blessing in disguise. Finally gave us that final shove we needed to build the studio ourselves, which is liberating :)
We look up to you guys and letting us know you are there to help is GREATLY appreciated :)
