Hypersensitive - A General Pop Culture Podcast

Well ... look who it is!!

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa T) — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 07:07:00 +0000

Hey guys! I bet you all had given up on me, hadn't you? [Assuming anyone still even subscribes to this feed or checks the site]

I moved back to New Orleans (from Dallas) this past September and, after getting settled back into the groove of the Big Easy, I think I'm ready to reboot this podcast. I'm definitely going to go for shorter episodes, hopefully (finally!) get to that weekly schedule I've always wanted, and maybe make it more of a "Lisa's List" type of thing, just hitting the top pop culture media that has captured my attention since the last episode. I'm still mulling it over, but I figured if I bit the bullet & posted this update to the site, I would be more motivated to just start recording again.

So, what do you guys think? Good idea? Bad idea? Do you even still care? Please sound off in the comments. Oh, and if you have any ideas of what you'd like to hear in the podcast, I'm totally open!

Personal Effects: Dark Art - Available Today!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa T) — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 16:51:00 +0000

J.C. Hutchins’ new supernatural thriller, Personal Effects: Dark Art is now available in bookstores and for purchase online. A recent starred review by Publisher’s Weekly called the novel a “stellar first.” Library Journal’s review deemed Personal Effects a work that “may herald the future of modern fiction.”

Created by Jordan Weisman and published by St. Martin’s Press, Dark Art combines the experience of a traditional thriller novel with a multimedia-fueled “out of book” narrative. Clues in the novel — and items that come with the novel, such as ID cards and photos — propel readers into an online experience where they become protagonists themselves.

Personal Effects: Dark Art follows the extensive notes of art therapist Zach Taylor’s investigation into the life and madness of Martin Grace, an accused serial killer who claims to have foreseen, but not caused, his victims’ deaths.

Zach’s investigations start with interviews and art sessions, but then take him far from the hospital grounds — and often very far from the reality that we know. The items among Grace’s personal effects are the keys to understanding his haunted past, and finding the terrifying truth Grace hoped to keep buried…

* Call the phone numbers: You’ll get a character’s voicemail.
* Google the characters and institutions in the text: You’ll find real websites.
* Examine the art and other printed artifacts included inside the cover: If you pay attention, you’ll find more information than the characters themselves discover.

Personal Effects: Dark Art is the ultimate in voyeuristic storytelling, representing a revolutionary step forward in changing the way people interact with novels.

Hypersensitive Remembers Joe

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa T) — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 07:07:00 +0000

April 1, 2009 marks two years since the passing of podcaster, Joe Murphy, after a battle with leiomyosarcoma. In his memory, the Joe Murphy Memorial Fund prepared a Tribute Podcast last year in which some of the most recognizable voices in podcasting shared their thoughts on how Joe touched their lives. Unfortunately, I came too late into the world of podcasting to have known Joe Murphy; but the legacy he left behind ensures that his memory will live on well into the future of podcasting and audio entertainment in general. Please take a few minutes to listen (or re-listen) to this wonderful Tribute Podcast - with a new heartfelt intro by Tee Morris - and experience for yourself the amazing impact Joe had on people’s lives.

For shownotes on this Tribute Podcast, and for more information on leiomyosarcoma and the former Joe Murphy Memorial Fund, please visit joemurphymemorialfund.org.

Commit Yourself To The Brink

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa T) — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 00:01:00 +0000

Just wanted to let you guys know about the awesome new project from 7th Son podiobook author and podcaster J.C. Hutchins.

This June, his novel-meets-Alternate Reality Game project, Personal Effects: Dark Arts, hits bookstores. Created with ARG and gaming maestro Jordan Weisman, this spooky supernatural thriller chronicles the adventures of art therapist Zach Taylor as he quests to unlock the psychosis of an blind alleged serial killer. Taylor works at Brinkvale Psychiatric Hospital ... a facility with such a bloody history, locals call it "The Brink." Items that come WITH the book -- including photos, busines cards and more -- will propel you into an "out of novel" narrative, which has its own plot twists.

CSI TV series creator Anthony E. Zuiker calls it "the future of storytelling." Director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean, The Ring) hails it as "compelling." Final Destination writer Jeffrey Reddick says it's "impossible to put down."

You can learn more about Personal Effects: Dark Art -- and what other pros are saying about it -- at http://jchutchins.net/personaleffects . (You can even pre-order a copy if you'd like to support the project before it even comes out.)

In connection with the release of this project, and based on the firm belief that everyone benefits when the community itself is being creative, J.C. has announced a first-ever in publishing designed to get you involved in the world of Personal Effects: Dark Art. Welcome to Commit Yourself To The Brink.

You -- and your friends and family and followers -- can actually become a part of the Personal Effects universe, and a patient of Brinkvale art therapist Zach Taylor. By visiting a special page at J.C.'s website -- http://jchutchins.net/thebrink -- you can create a patient profile (complete with backstory), receive your admittance papers, contribute artwork … and earn the insanely cool privilege to appear in Brinkvale’s patient artwork gallery ( http://brinkvalepsychiatric.com/ ). The first "art assignment" is already online, and -- as always -- it doesn't cost a penny to participate. You need not be an "artist" to do this; just crack out the Crayolas, get scribbling, and scan (or snap a photo of) your work! Submit your art and patient profile at the page linked above.

Check out this awesome promo - and COMMIT YOURSELF!

Just a little update ...

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa T) — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 22:55:00 +0000

Just wanted to let you guys know the status of the podcast. I am on a temporary hiatus right now due to all the traveling I've done in the last couple of months and the computer issues I am currently dealing with. I will try my best to get the second part of Episode 9 edited and up on the feed over the weekend, and I hope to be getting a new laptop in the next few weeks and will be able to resume recording and producing episodes (and hopefully at a faster rate) when that happens.

Thanks for bearing with me - hopefully I'll be able to get back on a regular podcasting schedule in October!

Playing For Keeps

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa T) — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 20:54:00 +0000

Yay! More of my favorite podcast fiction is being released in print!

Yet again, we're gonna show Amazon how the small press does it, this time hero-style. Please go to Amazon.com on August 25 and purchase Playing For Keeps. If everyone does it on the same day, strange and wonderful things can happen! Please show your support for small press and podcast fiction on August 25!

August 25 Release Date for Mur Lafferty’s Playing for Keeps

Swarm Press is pleased to announce the upcoming release of breakthrough podcaster and author Mur Lafferty’s newest novel of superheroic action Playing for Keeps. Originally a self-released “podiobook,” this new printed version of Lafferty’s novel is due to hit shelves on August 25, 2008.

Playing for Keeps by Mur Lafferty.
Welcome to Seventh City, the birthplace of super powers. The First Wave heroes are jerks, but they have the best gifts: flight, super strength, telepathy, genius, fire. The Third Wavers, like bar-owner Keepsie Branson and her friends, are stuck with the leftovers: the ability to instantly make someone sober, the power to smell the past, absolute control… over elevators. They just aren’t powerful enough to make a difference… at least that’s what they’ve always been told. But when the villain Doodad slips Keepsie a mysterious metal sphere, the Third Wavers become caught in the middle of a battle between egotistical heroes and manipulative villains.

“Playing for Keeps grabbed me and kept me reading straight through when I should have been plotting a new fantasy series for Tor Books. Mur, thank you. Tor, however, does not thank you.” – David Drake, author, Hammer’s Slammers.

Mur Lafferty is an American podcaster and writer based in Durham, North Carolina. She attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and graduated with a degree in English. Her nonfiction work has appeared at www.SuicideGirls.com, as well as in the magazines Knights of the Dinner Table, PC Gamer, Computer Games, Scrye, and SciFi Magazine. Her short fiction has appeared in Hub, Escape Pod, and Scrybe. She was, until July, 2007, the host and co-editor of Pseudopod, and is currently the host and creator of the podcasts Geek Fu Action Grip and I Should be Writing.

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa T) — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 04:26:00 +0000

Once again I'm asking you guys to support the publication of podcasted fiction!

The sequals to two award-nominated podcasted novels of which I am a HUGE fan have been published and are currently available on Amazon and from booksellers everywhere. The novels are: Tee Morris's Billibub Baddings and the Case of the Pitcher's Pendent, the sequal to his awesome podcasted novel Billibub Baddings and the Case of the Singing Sword, and Philippa Ballantine's Digital Magic, the sequal to her recently-concluded, amazing podcasted novel Chasing the Bard.

To make the biggest impact, Tee and Pip are asking everyone to storm Amazon.com tomorrow, August 8, 2008 (08-08-08) on or after 11:00 AM (U.S. Eastern Time - 8:00 AM U.S. Pacific Time) to buy your copy (or copies!) of their books!

For more details, and for the Amazon links to use to help further support this effort, please visit http://www.teemorris.com/billipodcast/double-trouble/.

And thanks again for helping support podcasted fiction. I promise both of these books are worth it!

Brave Men Run - Book Release

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa T) — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 21:12:00 +0000

Matthew Wayne Selznick's amazing podcasted novel "Brave Men Run" will be released in paperback from Swarm Press on Sunday, July 13, 2008! If everyone buys the book on Sunday, July 13 from Amazon.com, we can push it to the top of the charts and make an explosive impact for "Brave Men Run," Swarm Press, and the power you, the user, has over new media!

And ...

Starting at 10:00 AM Eastern / 7:00 AM Pacific time on Sunday, July 13, join Matthew Wayne Selznick at the top of every hour via live streaming video! He will have updates on the book’s success on the Amazon charts, chat with viewers, and will even have very special Sovereign Era content to share with us: every hour on the hour he will read a new, original work of short fiction set in the Sovereign Era universe and written by some of the biggest names in podcast fiction!

"Brave Men Run" is the story of Nate Charters. Born different, unsure of his origins, he’s an outcast at Abbeque Valley High School, a self-proclaimed "boy freak" with few friends and low self-esteem. When the Sovereign Era dramatically dawns, Nate finds himself in a quest to discover the truth: is he more than he seems, a misfit in a miraculous and powerful new minority… or something else entirely?

You can listen to the full podcast presentation of "Brave Men Run" at Podiobooks.com.

Child rapists can't be executed, Supreme Court rules

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa T) — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 18:25:00 +0000

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 Wednesday that child rapists cannot be executed, concluding capital punishment is reserved for murderers.
Read the rest of the story here.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. Intellectually, I agree that capital punishment should be reserved for murderers - the whole, eye for an eye thing and upholding the Constitutional prohibition against cruel & unusual punishment. However, instinctively, it is hard for me to believe that, short of executing child rapists (or pretty much rapists in general) there is really no way to guarantee that they will never be released into society *at some point*, and a release into society will certainly lead to repeated attacks because I am a firm believer that there is no rehabilitation for just plain *evil* people like that.

I can also understand the argument that having the same consequence of the death penalty for both rape and murder removes any incentive for an attacker to leave a rape victim alive. But, seriously, how many rapists are really thinking about that during an attack? "Well, if I leave her alive she might be able to identify me but, hey, at least I can't get the death penalty for this."

Wow, I can't believe I might actually be in support of an Alioto/Scalia/Thomas/Roberts opinion. The world MUST be coming to an end ...

Episode 008 - The Episode That Didn't Want To Be Aired

Okay, folks. Here it is. The next (once again) long overdue episode of Hypersensitive! I had a lot of problems with this episode - I lost the edited version of the episode not once but TWO times thanks to the combination of Audacity and my craptop computer, and then had problems uploading to my FTP once the episode was finally "in the can." It's really long (about 1:45:00 or so), but I guess I just had a lot of stuff I wanted to tell you guys about. Since it's so long, I've included the time stamps for the beginning of each segment so you can feel free to skip ahead if you want. Here's to hoping I have less problems producing the next episode. Ah, well, enjoy!

Couch Surfing

noreply@blogger.com (Lisa T) — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 21:27:00 +0000

If you want to hear more of me while you eagerly await the (hopefully soon!) release of Episode 8 of Hypersensitive, go check out the most recent episode (Ep 16) of John Pavlich's Couch Surfing. I co-hosted this episode and had the honor of being the first female Couch Surfing co-host - so, Go Go Girl Power!

If you haven't checked it out, Couch Surfing is an awesome podcast similar to Hypersensitive except that it's more of a discussion of pop culture rather than just me talking to myself. It's one of my favorite podcasts out there right now, and I highly recommend it. If you do give it a listen, leave a comment over there to let John know what you think - and, of course, leave a comment here to let ME know what you think. Enjoy!
