SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow, brought to you in this hour by twitter.com/comasowjen. She does a lot around here, and only gets credit for the mistakes and mishaps. We apologize for that.

In this hour, we take time out to apologize to our listeners, each other, society at large, puppies great and small, heteros, and any gypsies we may have misaligned. It isn’t really our fault, we’re just large that way.

J’s Newsbomb picked up a sponsor! Foofa’s… ermm…. two way petting zoo? Okay, maybe that was a lark, but I hear tell next week the Newsbomb will be sponsored by… twitter.com/ihateelross? Jesus! I guess we can make our fortune off of listener vendettas… Why not?

We have a lot to be sorry for, between blathering about points (oh! That reminds me! March’s giveaway is in just a few days, so if you are going to make the cut and win the $50.00 from Amazon, you might want to get to it asap, pdq, rtfn, etc.) to dodging Ross’s tale about his dead aunt. I know we will find a way to fit it in this week, Ross, I promise!

If you know of a way Mickey can apologize to our listeners for his purporting of a false rumor regarding gasoline prices, please let me know at moo@somacow.com – I know he does not want to pump gas in a puffy paint shirt. Maybe he can just clean windshields, or install extra ram, or blow on soup to cool it for you guys. Just say the word, cause Lord knows we aims to please.

Our new forum is swollen with members, 50 joined on last week, so if you want to discuss topics we talk about here, or your own individual unground axes, swing by and log in and get wordy with it. I look forward to hearing from you, and really appreciate everyone that has joined up already. Thanks!

 

 SomaCow 300: Episode 300 [1:26:16m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow brought to you by some overweight girls within celebratory headdresses.

In this, their finest hour, the guys talked about it being episode 300! It was a time to party, a time to reminisce, and a time to look forward.

Geoff asked me to pick up a couple of balloons for the gang, something festive. Wow, am I going to love throwing Rowan birthday parties! I ended up getting balloons, glowing bracelets, sunglasses, party hats, poppers, noisemakers, and a cake! If you are following Ross or myself on Twitter, you will know what a green cake does to you :P. But it was cool! Many thanks to Publix for making a green cow print cake!

It was also a time to reflect and ask you, dear Heard, what you have liked and not liked. Do you like the episodic bits (i.e. Newsbomb, Life Coaching, Weekly Constitutional)? What’s your favorite SomaCow moment? What didn’t you like?

We’re not saying we’re going to change the whole show, oh no, we’re just looking at what we can do to make the next 300 even better. The way we can make it the best is you guys. Geoff has been working on his “Leader Board” and we have already received countless questions about how you all can get more points and that’s awesome! All I can answer is to listen live tonight (or listen back if it’s after Friday) for more details. Thank you all for all you have done. Keep commenting on the blogs (hint hint) and join us in the live chat every Friday night. You guys are the best!

Happy 300 SomaCow!

 

 SomaCow 295: Feedbackbiting [1:09:59m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

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!
