jesusradio's PodcastComing this Fall: Jesus on the Radio Season 2Season 2 is coming...
That's right, we've declared podbankruptcy (or maybe just retroactive summer vacation). Season 2 of Jesus on the Radio will begin this fall. And when it does, look out.

I'm all by my irrationally-afraid-of-serial-killers-getting-me-in-the-night lonesome in Amherst, en route to a somewhat more permanent dwelling in Maine. Won't it be neat when I'm not moving all the time? I sure think so. Since Peter and I continue to be tens, if not dozens, of miles away from one another's computers (and each other), I decided to surprise my cohost and wonderful listeners with a brief glimpse into my hilariously (read: tragically) mobile life. Keep checking back for proper shows, but enjoy my ranting until then! ...2006-07-1806 minjesusradio's PodcastJesus on the Radio, Jun. 6, 2006: Tens of Miles ApartMy kingdom for GarageBand! I can't stand working in Audacity any longer. It's too slow, too clunky, too destructive. Ugh.
Some errata: SarahKat, sadly, will not be at Connecticon this weekend. But then, if you're there trying to find her, you probably knew that already. Also, I'm no longer so thrilled with AppleCare. More in the next episode.

...2006-07-0949 minjesusradio's PodcastOoh! Ooh! Read this! It's awesome!Whoa! It's someone OTHER than Peter writing on the good ol' JOTR site! And...it's me! Because no one else would write on the good ol' JOTR website...but...me. That was supposed to be really exciting, but I guess the fireworks and fanfare in my head just didn't translate into those exclamation points with sufficient bravado. Anyhows, Peter let me in on the (stupidly simple) secret of how to update to the main page so you can hear MY side of the story, not just his. Though I guess I don't really want to shoulder the burden...2006-07-0341 minjesusradio's PodcastJesus on the Radio, Jun 12, 2006: FlashbackThis week (who are we kidding) on Jesus on the Radio: a flashback. SK's still not around, so Peter digs deep into the archives and pulls up a gem from the old WXBC days. It originaly aired Oct. 23, 2005.
We really will have an all new show up soon, I promise.2006-06-1337 minjesusradio's PodcastJesus on the Radio, Apr. 26, 2006: The Health Beer EditionThis week's episode is inspired by PW Fenton. If you heard the Beer Shoot Edition of Digital Flotsam, you'll know what health beer is. I did, and my curiosity got the better of me. In this episode, we sample some health beer, then pass it around to get the reactions of some of our unsuspecting guests.
The drinking is all in celebration of SarahKat's (and everyone else's) senior project being done and in! Listen in and hear exactly how many cups of coffee she's drunk this month. It's not pretty...
Oh, and Shagg are coming...2006-04-3028 minjesusradio's PodcastJesus on the Radio, Apr. 16, 2006: IKEANothing to do with Jesus, but plenty to do with IKEA. What more can I say?
Oh, and I went to see Brother Love. But mostly, it’s about IKEA.

Of course, now you can hear every little noise in the room, including my phone, which rings twice during the show. No matter, SarahKat, champ that she is, steps up to the plate for a quick solo performance.
We talk about Brolo's show at Arlene's Grocery in this episode, which we recorded before it happened. I went, I had a blast, and I'll talk more about it on the next show. If you missed it, or if you're just itching to do it all over again...2006-04-0951 minjesusradio's PodcastJesus on the Radio, Mar. 17, 2006: Rockin' the SeguesIt's another show! Finally! I just ordered two brand spankin' new XM8500s (those are microphones, BTW), so maybe that'll motivate us to do the show on a more, shall we say, existent schedule.
Anyhow, it's a great show despite the mics. We have a special guest, a new sound effect, and no notes. We're flying by the seat on of our collective pants in this week's show, where you'll hear SarahKat say:
"I've decided that my gut has shit for brains."

This show is more or less about Soccergirl. Yes that Soccergirl. Why? You'll just have to listen, won't you?
Very cool announcements, weird news stories, and a scanner you'll have to near to believe are all in this edition of our weekly podcast. Enjoy!

(PS, For those who don't know, "weekly" is a technical podcasting term coined by Scott Fletcher. It means "every so often when we manage to get a show together".)

No radio slot yet, but at least we're still doing the podcast, thanks in large part to my beautiful new iriver. This week's (month's?) show is the saga of our quest to get back on the airwaves. Don't miss the gripping side plot in which I attempt to survive hell week for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead! Plus some absolutely awesome podsafe tracks, hot off the PMN. You've never heard a Jesus on the Radio like this.
Big thanks to Chub Creek for our intro. Yes, that's right, the same Chub Creek we...2006-02-2050 minjesusradio's PodcastCardboard Box RepostOops! Turns out the last post has been pointing at an old episode for over a week. Apparently I uploaded something all wrong. It should be good now.
I've also enclosed it with this entry, in case your podcatcher thinks it already has that show. If you get it twice, sorry. I'll try to pay more attention to what I'm doing next time.2006-01-0800 minjesusradio's PodcastJesus on the Interweb, Dec. 11, 2005: I'm sorry.It's a quicky. Happy everything, everybody! We we're going to get one out sooner, but it's tough when one of you is on the opposite coast. So it's just me, saying a quick hello. Hope you and yours are well, and we'll both talk to you next week.

Show notes:
Podcasting from home.
Alone.
SarahKat is in California.
Cheap, crappy mic from GoingToday.
My cheap-ass preamp.
Christmas traditions.
No music this show. Thank you dial-up.
Technical difficulties.
Apologies.
Real show next week.
Happy everything!

In honor of ten fully-fledged shows and the end of the broadcast semester here at WXBC, we're featuring music by people we know in person. Listen in as we showcase the vocal and instrumental stylings of Negative Sleep Machine, Mist of the Maelstrom (however you pronounce it), Opium Rose, Rye Desylva (bass player extraordinare), and our most recent friends, Shagg.
This was the last show from WXBC until school starts up again in late January, but fear not! SarahKat and I will brave the long distance between us to...2005-12-171h 08jesusradio's PodcastJesus on the Interweb, Dec. 4, 2005: All by MyselfThis week's show is all SarahKat. I'm off at rehearsal for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead and can't make the show. That's ok: SarahKat does a fine job on her own. Better than my attempts without her. Sigh.
SarahKat announces a new contest in this episode: What do we look like? Email us your best guess and you might win...something. I've got my own contest up my sleeve-more on that next week.

...2005-12-0529 minjesusradio's PodcastJesus on the Interweb, Nov. 27, 2005: Thanks, Todd!Due to thanksgiving break, this show was recorded on the 20th along with the last one. Therefore, if something huge and important happened between then and now, like the pope turning into a unicycle, we won't mention it. But then, it's probably getting plenty of coverage.

Not to worry-we recorded two shows this week! It worked out pretty well, but my voice sounds like crap for some reason. I think someone was fiddling with the settings on my mic channel. That's the trouble with sharing equipment with a whole radio station staff.
And yes, the show's up later than usual. I'm back home for break and, sadly, home is where the broadband isn't.

Podsafe: The Shades of Grey...2005-11-2439 minjesusradio's PodcastJesus on the Radio: Podsafe Music - Nov. 13, 2005It's geek rock week here at Jesus on the Radio. Not much to say up here, which is good, since I mostly talk about our technical foibles in this note. So listen to the show-I think we've finally got it working.
And while you're here, add yourself to our listener map. Or, even better, leave us a quick comment at (206) 339-JOTR. Or both! We just want to know that you're listening, because, gosh darn it, podcasting's just so much cooler that way. And you wouldn't want to make podcasting uncool, would you?
Would you?
2005-11-1628 minjesusradio's PodcastJesus on the Radio: Podsafe Music - Nov. 6, 2005On this week's show we feature Shagg, that smooth, jazzy, rocking septet from Brooklyn, NY. We just received their album, "Buh Ba Ba Ba", which we played one track off of a couple weeks ago. These guys totally rock. Check out their site and get the album, or download it from iTunes. This isn't just a few singles wrapped in elevator music; the album is strong from start to finish.
As for the stereo troubles (for those on the edge of their seats), it turns out they never went away. I set my computer to play music...2005-11-0936 minjesusradio's PodcastJesus on the Radio: Podsafe Music - Oct. 30, 2005Well, this was quite a show. Steve drops in for an afternoon with Jesus. Except Jesus isn't really on the show. It's just a Guster song. Get it? Oh, whatever.
The left-channel problem should be fixed now. The podcast will have to be in mono for now, but at least you'll hear the the right and left mixed together, like mono should be.
I only wish that we could have played Deformo's "Stop and Go Station". They probably wouldn't have cared, but it's the principle of the matter. Still...
I don't wanna be...2005-11-0233 minjesusradio's PodcastJesus on the Radio: Podsafe Music - Oct. 23, 2005
SarahKat is back! The show gets much more interesting this week. We introduce a contest, formally present our new listener comment line (206-339-JOTR), and play some frickin' awesome music.
Only one problem. As I surmised last week, the right channel is, in fact, completely missing. It's nowhere to be found. Instead, we have a copy of the left channel wearing a deceptive right-channel suit. Don't be fooled-it's not the real deal. I'll look into the problem. In the mean time, the upshot is that until we get it fixed, the show will be in...2005-10-2640 minjesusradio's PodcastJesus on the Radio: Podsafe Music - Oct. 16, 2005Kat was away this week, so you get to hear what I sound like all alone, without an ounce of banter in sight. It's pretty pathetic, actually. More pathetic than I actually felt.
You know how hard it is to have energy when you're talking in a room by yourself?
Part of the problem is the board. We've got nice little meters that tell us how loud we are, but judging from feedback we've gotten during the show, we sound best when we're in the red zone on the meters. I don't think they're supposed...2005-10-1832 minjesusradio's PodcastJesus on the Radio: Podsafe Music - Oct. 2, 2005It's the first ever real live Jesus on the Radio podcast! Except it's not live. It is, however, real. Sadly, SarahKat and I were both a little sick, both a little tired, and both a little rusty, so we may sound a bit out of it. Do not adjust your player. We are attempting to control the transmission. It's only a northern podcast.
How do you get the show? Well, you can get it manually off of this page, but that's a pain. The enlightened among us perfer a podcast aggregator. That's a handy piece of software...2005-10-0534 min
