Patreon Patron Only Podcast Ep:1
Added 2017-10-31 07:55:48 +0000 UTCIgnore the broken mic, I fixed it like 10 seconds after I stopped recording, it was a loose capsule. Also sorry for touching the mics at all, they made some unpleasant sounds. Otherwise...enjoy this podcast where I'm super loopy and tired. Also give me a topic to talk about while I'm tired and incoherent. Also there are a few hiccups in the sound I will work out for next time.

You should do binaural podcasts. Also you should talk about more of the technical side of things for one episode but that is just me. Thank you for making the amazing videos.

2017-11-02 03:47:28 +0000 UTCAh, you completely misunderstand me. I'm not saying I don't fear the cold because it's ever colder here, I'm amused that you find no joy in it. Allow me to explain; you see, here it never really gets *above* +30 here either, we're in a perpetual twilight of -5 to +20C and to counter any kind of stability that brings, it's always damp. We can be in the middle of a drought and the actual moisture content of the air is still sitting at 'uncomfortable', causing any heat to be deadly due to our poorly vented houses and the overwhelming dehydration. The slightest breeze for the English is automatically coupled with several degrees lower wind-chill, while still air is suffocating and steamy. Imagine, if you will, the idea that every single building in a country is designed to retain warmth through brick and insulation, because it's never warm in the first place... Where nothing so satisfying as a crisp snowfall graces us in the winter, only slush and mud, where seasons don't change, they sag into each other... that is English weather. A country that should freeze solid every year because it's got nothing but open ocean between it and the polar ice, not even a stray moose, but is kept in perpetual rain and fog and chill by a convenient warm sea current. The Inuit have fifty words for 'snow', the English have 75 for rain. Even Washington State looks at us and says 'yeah, they get a lot of rainy weather over there'. Do you know how much I would kill for a clean -30? Do you know how that would make us feel as a country? We'd be happy to experience something so clear-cut and interesting as that. But no, we have -5 and fog that's trying to form sleet, with a side of misty rain blown sideways and up inside any sleeves or under any jackets. You fear the cold, we would welcome it, you don't know the power and joy of true heat or true cold until you've lived in England for thirty years... I used to live in Kuwait, where it's so dry you hang your clothes out after a wash for seven seconds to dry them before the dust and sand get caught in them, I have relatives in Zambia, where I can experience 42 Celsius in the shade, I travel to North Sweden in February to experience what actual negative temperatures are like without the damp. So don't misunderstand me, I'm intimately acquainted with meteorology, I'm not laughing because you feel cold and shouldn't, I'm laughing because you don't embrace it like an old friend and celebrate that such change and contrast exists in your life.

2017-11-01 09:39:08 +0000 UTCI find your lack of meteorology disturbing. Here in the "South" the temperature often goes as low as -30 degrees centigrade. I don't know much about the U.K. but I've not heard about it ever getting much below zero up thar. In my case if the heat don't come on the pipes for the plumbing will freeze and burst.
Listening Point
2017-10-31 15:03:23 +0000 UTCIf you're looking for topics, then pick something you've looked at or listened to most recently, recommend us some youtuber you've gotten into, a trailer for a movie you're looking forward to, did you go back and find an old favourite show to re-watch or has a game updated that you're currently into? A good podcast trick is to give the listeners opinions on things they can go on to look at after listening to you, people value the power of opinions, and the ability to relate to somebody else through a medium they both enjoy. Failing that, you could pitch ideas for the next Barber Shop and see if the other listeners like the idea or would want you to go further with it.

2017-10-31 12:12:16 +0000 UTCHeh, southerners and their fear of cold... (for reference, unless you're a few degrees north of the Canadian border, you're a southerner to me over here in the UK).
