You love us, come see us!

Scott and I rarely get out, owing to the fact that Edmonton’s top scientists insist on conducting endless studies into just what it is that makes us so fantastic.

It’s fuckin’ Wheaties, all right? ARE YOU HAPPY?!

No, you’re not happy. And do you know why? Because you rarely get the opportunity to actually spend time with us. UNTIL NOW. Read the rest of this entry »

Mayor of Toontown | S03E05

Posted by Adam Rozenhart On November - 23 - 2011

It’s time your your favourite podcast, my friends. And this one’s a doozy. Not just because it includes a peek into the Unknown Studio mailbag (which it does); not just because it includes a story from the Christmas Bureau (which it does); and not just because it includes the inaugural Edmonton: A City segment, brought to you by Matt Hirji, Simon Yackulic, Sam Brooks and Jonn Kmech (which it absolutely does)…

But it also includes an interview with the founder of the Toonseum, Joe Wos. Scott and I had the opportunity to speak with Joe at Pure Speculation. We actually interviewed him before a live studio audience. We’d love to do a lot more of that.

No, my laptop is pooched, which is why there’s no image for this show on our feature banner above. That’s also why I can’t give you a show breakdown.

This will all be corrected tomorrow. Meanwhile, I assure you, this podcast will be music to your ears. Enjoy!

A big Unknown Studio welcome…

Posted by Adam Rozenhart On November - 10 - 2011

Many of our regular listeners and readers will recall (you WILL recall, I demand it!) that we launched a contest at the end of August designed to bring new blood into the careening mass of weirdness we call The Podcast. We asked listeners to become contributors by pitching us segment ideas. Part of the reasoning was to provide a different persepctive and also to take some of the production pressure off of Scott and me. We love what we’re doing, of course, but it’s a lot of work. So if there were people out there who were interested, we thought we’d exploit them.

And, like a bunch of fame-seeking lemmings, many of you responded. Read the rest of this entry »

Comics! Pow! | S03E04

Posted by Adam Rozenhart On November - 9 - 2011

Have you ever sailed in a Happy Harbor? Scott and I have. We did so in this, our most recent episode, where we interview Jay Bardyla, proprietor and local giant at Happy Harbor Comics. They just relocated their downtown store to 107 Street and 104 Avenue. A lovely store that you should visit (they have couches, coffee and soda. Also, comics).

We also have segments detailing some of the terrific Movember events taking place right here in the Greatest City on the Planet™. Here’s the breakdown:

0:00: The Fortress of Solitude… home of Happy Harbor!
17:17: Microphones and Moustaches (on November 27) with Gregg Beever
23:56: Wait, how many Happy Harbors are there?
48:18: MoSistas Edmonton, coming to a D’Lish Wine Bar near you (on November 10)
55:44: The Rules for Home Shaving – A Dramatic Reading by Scott C Bourgeois
59:12: Jay and PureSpec and Married Scott
1:16:14: The Fast Fifteen with Jay Bardyla
