Tonight on the program our first ever CD Party featuring the musical duo, Azalea. Our friends Benjamin and Mia sat in with us to display the ethereal works from their EP, Coffee & Kisses. We found out that this EP follows a path that relates to their building relationship that eventually led them to matrimony. Truly a feel good EP that everyone should own and right now for a limited time, get yours FREE. See the links section below for more detail.

Later we spoke about how a new study shows that Facebook makes people sad. How? Because when you log on and look at your friend's pictures of happiness and bliss, it makes you feel more sad. Really? If you feel sad, and a caller with authority agreed, log off and experience a dose of reality. Se the links for more on this and other crazy stories from the show.

On a very full show tonight we began with an interview with James Dirschberger. James is the Director of the Independent documentary film, "Honest Man: The Life of R. Budd Dwyer". The film chronicles the rise of Dwyer in Pennsylvania politics to the role of State Treasurer (1981-1987) to his suicide end on January 22, 1987. Visit the link below to the film's website to see great documentation of the bribery scandal, court case and more and buy the DVD to see this fantastic work.

Later we had a conversation with Michael Carrier, Professor at Rutgers School of Law. Michael talked about Congress' attempt to censor internet web sites on behalf of the Motion Picture Association, record labels and more. Although there was a temporary stay by way of citizen reaction this week which sent lawmakers backtracking and tabling the vote. Michael believes that this is not the last we hear on this issue.

We also covered a couple news stories; one of which was a tragic story from San Antonio, TX where a friendly dog, who jumped on a 10 year old girl being attacked by two other dogs to shield her, was deemed by the Animal Care Services and courts as dangerous and now is under a lot of scurrilous restrictions. The other two dogs, by the way, were euthanized. The other big story was the United States Postal Service is raising their rates on January 23, 2012 but will they refrain from throwing packages over people's fences with no regard for contents? I suppose we will see.

Ray Gauthier, host of Back To The 80s, joined us to close off the program and give us a look into how the show is going. We love Ray, he plays EIGHTIES music, I mean...c'mon! Listen every week to the show!

Tonight on the show we present a round of FREE PC Support! Though we did not field any phone calls, we spoke about a neat feature with Gmail that actually allows you to "unsend" your email within a few seconds of sending. This is a feature in the Gmail labs along with many others that you can check out. Also we talked about grabbing a backup drive that automates your backups, the dangers of backing up after a known infection plus our opinions on the best security setup for your computing needs.

Later, Kay Stout joins us for our regular segment on careers and she shared some interesting points to ponder if you are in the 18-35 or 51-62 age group and looking for work. Kay suggests that you may be in the position to be an ex-pat and work overseas. Listen to the archive of the show and check out some of her experiences while visiting in Dubai, UAE and the amount of Americans working abroad she encountered. We also discussed the temporary downgrade of the unemployment numbers but now what happens when all the service men come home and need work?

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012!!!

Season 7 kicked off with a review of some notable events and other stuff throughout 2011 including a list of some of the people we lost. Later we dove into the GOP party and the Iowa Caucus. Michelle Bachmann has dropped out and as for the rest of the bunch, they look like a load of misfits and who knows what we face in 2012 as far as the election process goes. The real question becomes, can anyone beat Barack Obama? Probably not. The choices are so bad that he will default his way back into another term.

We also discussed Occupy Wall Street and many negative comments about the protestors, but maybe what they are really saying is that enough of this bullshit is enough! What we need, and maybe OWS is the starting point, is to restore America. Think about it.

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Tonight we had our BIG season ending 2011 CHRISTMAS EXTRAVAGANZA! We always have a blast doing this show each year and celebrating Christmas on the air. As usual, we played some great Christmas carols and had a visit from Santa Claus who has gone slightly digital with the iPad to help him accomplish his tasks during the year and especially on Christmas Eve. Santa states that electronics are at the top of the wish lists this year and he also said that he is hearing more of the Christmas spirit this year from children, which means that maybe commercialization is not hindering the spirit of Christmas.

Later, Stacey Knoll of N.O.R.A.D. stopped by and explained the Santa Tracker system and how it all works. According to Stacey and as printed in Wikipedia; The program began on December 24, 1955 when a Sears department store placed an advertisement in a Colorado Springs newspaper which told children that they could telephone Santa Claus and included a number for them to call. However, the telephone number printed was incorrect and calls instead came through to Colorado Springs' Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD) Center. Colonel Shoup, who was on duty that night, told his staff to give all children that called in a "current location" for Santa Claus. A tradition began which continued when the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) replaced CONAD in 1958.

Here is a list of all the various ways that you can track Santa Claus using the Santa Tracker system:

On the Web - http://www.NoradSanta.org
Google Earth - http://www.noradsanta.org/en/track3d.html
On the Phone - (877) HI NORAD
By Email - noradtracksanta@gmail.com

So from our families to yours, we wish you a Very Merry Christmas and Joyous & Happy New Year! We will see you in 2012!

Tonight on Behind The Mike, we featured musician Kara McGraw, who is instrumental in bringing acts to the show. This time she is on the show to feature a beautiful Christmas song that she wrote entitled "The Chandelier". The proceeds of the song are being sent to help aid the local Vermont farmers who were devastated by Hurricane Irene. Please visit her Facebook site below to download the song and make a donation to help the cause.

Later on the program, Barry Slinker from OldTimeRadioUSA.com stopped by to do some OTR Christmas. We talked about some nostalgic Christmas moments and played music and clips from the OTR era. We had lots of fun talking about the origins of some things from yesteryear, reminiscing and listening to some great holiday moments.

Tonight on the show we featured the singing duo, AZALEA. Benjamin and Mia sat down with us and talked about their "outside the box" style of writing music and we featured their hit single, Abilene, from their EP Coffee & Kisses. Check out their website below for more information and where you can grab your copy of the EP, you Hoser!

Later, we covered some real pulitzer winning news like the 30 year old Jennifer Harris, who tried to burn her friend's home down while her and her husband slept because her friend un-friended her on Facebook. Be careful who you un-friend. Then, TSA agents in Virginia razzled a 17-year old woman because she has a designer purse with a 2" embroidered handgun on the purse. Apparently, you cannot have pictures or embroidery of handguns on planes and apparently, you could get a job as a TSA agent even if you are DEAD!

Herman Cain has suspended his political campaign due to allegations of sexual affairs. Though he may have been a front-runner, he certainly had his issues with foreign affairs. Not sure he was as much a front-runner as he may have looked. However, looking at the rest of the candidates in the Republican choices, it does not look like they have anyone who can beat Obama in the election...scary!

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas!

Tonight on the Tech Support Sunday segment we talked about the proper way to clean your mouse and keyboard without damaging them. Listen in and get the details to make sure it is clean and sanitized. Also we spoke about upgrading RAM and how to recognize that RAM is normally installed in pairs plus how to adjust your Virtual RAM settings:

Formula is 1.5 x RAM = Maximum Paging Size

Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl in the Open box, and then press ENTER.
Click the Advanced tab, and then under Performance click Settings.
Click the Advanced tab, and then under Virtual memory click Change.
Under Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains the paging file that you want to change.
Under Paging file size for selected drive, click Custom size, type a new paging file size in megabytes (MB) in the Initial size (MB) or Maximum size (MB) box, and then click Set.
Click OK to close the dialog box and apply changes.

Later we discussed how you should discuss Santa Claus as your children grow older. Perhaps when you wrap toys you put 2-3 from Santa and the rest from yourselves. Children should always hold in their hearts that Santa is a part of Christmas.

Then Joel tore into the people who hide behind social media and bash the Occupy Movement. Try coming out from behind the keyboard and get involved in the political process.

HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Our guest on the show this week was a return expert, Matthew Stein. Mat has just published his new book, "When Disaster Strikes" which encompasses many elements of his previous book, "When Technology Fails". It also expands on some of the most important things that you need to know when a disaster arises. The book is very well written and is in a condensed form so that it fits well in your survival pack. Mat says it's like insurance; buy it and have it in case you need it. We agree, you will not be sorry.

Later on the show, Sharen and Joel had a "discussion" as to why there are different rules for men and women like a man is not allowed to buy a woman a vacuum cleaner as a gift but it is OK for a woman to buy a man a cookware set. Just putting that out there to see if it sticks. Do you have an opinion? We'd like to entertain them, just drop us a line.

Also, is it just us (and everyone else) or is Christmas arriving earlier and earlier with each passing year? As Sharen observes, soon we will have the decorations up all year long.

TRIVIA QUESTION - What is the origin of Black Friday? Two possible answers but only one needed to win a Behind The Mike prize pack. Email your answer to us at Studio@BehindTheMike.info. The correct entries will be put into a hat for the winning draw and announced Sunday night November 20.

Andy Rooney Dies at 92

Tonight on the show, we remember Andy Rooney, who passed away Friday night at age 92. Recently he delivered his 1,097th essay for 60 Minutes. His career in broadcasting spanned 60 years; 30 of which were in television.

Later we discussed an article that discusses whether going organic is worth the money. We looked at the amount of pesticides, chemicals and other garbage in certain foods; meats, poultry, fruits and veggies. Eye opening discussion.

Barry Slinker of Old Time Radio USA joined us on the show and discussed ...old time radio. We talked about his station, Fright Night Theater and the upcoming annual 24/7 seasonal run that begins on Thanksgiving evening with "Miracle on 34th Street". Barry has been doing OTR for 11 years and it has been a life-long passion for him (just like BTM's Joel). You can learn more about the station and listen to the shows by visiting the link below.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

On the show tonight, we spoke about some bothering news stories, including a police officer who shot a dog after throwing him down a stairwell. According to witnesses, the dog was in no way displaying fearful tactics towards anyone including the officer but he tackled the dog, wrestled him to the ground, pulled his arms behind his back and then threw him down a stairwell before firing several shots into the dog executing him. What is wrong with society? This type of behavior is typical in serial killers just before they target other humans.

Then we talked about how your Twitter feeds are recorded by the US Library of Congress for posterity sake and maybe so they can just spy on us plus some new intelligent street lights systems that may be designed especially for big brother to watch and record our activities. You decide, we had some indecision here.

The BIG guest was Dr. David Oester from the International Ghost Hunters Society. Dave stopped by and talked to us about some ghost hunting techniques including EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena). EVP is the technique of recording ghost voices to document life after death. Also, he spoke about the difference between ghosts and parallel dimensions (doppelgangers). Some quick facts about performing your own ghost hunts, the veil between the living and the dead is at it's thinnest point 2-3 days on either side of a new moon or full moon and at Christmas time. Visit his website below to learn more and SEE more. Plus a link to the famous Gettysburg Wheatfield Ecto photo taken by our own Sharen 4 days before a full moon.

Philadelphia Terror Film Festival
October 27-29, 2011
ETHICAL SOCIETY BUILDING
1906 S. Rittenhouse Square
Philadelphia PA 19103

On the show tonight, Claw and Princess Horror, both from the Terror Film Festival which starts this weekend (Halloween weekend). Claw gave us an insightful look behind the scenes on the festival and how it started and how it has grown in five years. Then the devilishly fun Princess Horror joined us to discuss some of the films this year but reminds us that they are all certainly terror-ific films. Check out the website below and buy your tickets online NOW! Also check out their band, E2Angels for some fine ass music.

Later on the show news subjects such as Muammar Gaddafi's final day before public execution at the hands of the rebels and the US' credit rating may again be lowered by another credit rating company because Congress has not shown any confidence that they will be able to address the deficit problem or the economic situation.

Then we asked the question "if technology failed permanently tomorrow, are you ready"? Think about that question because in all seriousness we have made such strides in allowing technology to affect our lives that it may be hard to handle life without it. Could you?

The BIG show tonight featured our monthly Tech Sunday episode where in the first half hour Joel and Tony talked about something so many of us admit is vital when the time comes of a hard drive crash, but seldom is done on even a regular basis and that is BACKING UP YOUR DATA

While you can usually restore your operating system, and even most or all of the programs you had on the machine prior to a hard drive crash, the likelihood of you being able to retrieve those old family photos , your music collection, or especially in the workplace, those critical accounting records are often irreplaceable.

How does one solve this? By setting up and FOLLOWING a routine that backs up your PC daily, weekly or whenever you make a change. Many times, backup software can run at night, or in the background and you won't even know it is there. But there are easier ways too. A simple External USB or other type of media, CD, DVD, etc can be used in drag and drop fashion and allow you to move files easily, even if you are a novice.

Later, Tony and Joel talked about the various anti-virus software packages and why people even turn them off or uninstall them and how to make them run more efficiently. They also talked about some of the common problems in email and other problems some anti-virus programs have and how to resolve them.

Later on the program, we featured our monthly segment, Ideas for A Challenging Economy with Kay Stout. Discussion included not talking negatively about your workplace on your social networking sites. Also, Kay recommends that you not dismiss the holiday season as a time to reach out to networking contacts because many people begin hiring campaigns in the new year. Keep in touch, let them know that you are still out there.

Finally, Kay interviewed Matt Crevin. Matt is the public Address announcer for the San Francisco 49ers. He also operates a website and show called "Voice of the Box". He interviews people who work behind the scenes in sports and passes the information to everyone interested. Sports is a career field that shows no evidence of slowing up as far as growth and there are many overlooked opportunities to work in various aspects of the field. Visit Matt's website below to learn more about the opportunity that he reveals and how you can reach him for more info. Matt will appear on a future episode to speak some more about these opportunities and his show.

Tonight on the show, Actor Kane Hodder better known for such great roles as Jason Vorhees (x4), Ed Gein and the B.T.K. Killer and his biographer, Michael Aloisi joined us from the road. They are currently touring the book, Unmasked: True Life Story of the World's Most Prolific Cinematic Killer. The book chronicles not simply the career of Kane Hodder as an actor and stuntman but his personal life as well. Some great conversation with Kane and Michael and in a short time, we learned plenty enough to keep us in anticipation of getting our own copy of the book.

Later Celtic sensation band, The Vintage Wildflowers stopped by and talked about their beginnings and how they are enjoying the limelight of their music while playing festivals, being featured on great radio shows (like this one) and even playing the Kennedy Center. We featured their track "In My Prime" and talked about the beautiful spin that they place on Old World songs. Catch their music on their website below.

An interesting piece of news coming across the desk is about a company in Florida that is looking to create renewable energy as in electricity to Florida from using the sludge from waste water...better known as POOP. This could be a very good thing especially if other companies around the country would latch onto the idea and run with it. This is a renewable energy that is available here and now and could save Americans money. See the story below.

Plus we had a conversation regarding television shows including some new releases this year, returning favorites and whether we think Two and a Half Men can survive the post-Charlie era.

The Return of Brock LaRobb

Our friend, couch potato, author and political analyst Brock LaRobb joined us tonight on the show to discuss a variety of things that have been brewing in politics such as the recent Solyndra Scandal, which could bring about the demise of our president (hopefully) and this was interesting because Brock made a prediction in 2008 and stands by it that something like this would rock the presidency. With a year or so to go in the current administration Brock believes that this is very much still a possibility.

Also, we all seem to agree that Donald Trump could make a very good president as far as business matters are concerned with getting the country back to a respected and respectable nature. We also seem to like Herman Cain; there are not too many stand out stars yet in the arena vying for the presidency.

Of course as we always do when Brock is aboard, we spent some time discussing Fantasy Football and of course America's past-time, baseball.

News and discussion tonight on the program and first news note was that convicted murderer Thomas Capano was found dead in his cell at Vaughn Correctional Center near Smyrna, Delaware. Capano was convicted of the 1996 murder of his mistress Anne Marie Fahey. Good riddance and we hope the Fahey family finds peace in this event.

Remember when you dad worked shift work and he had all these crazy sleeping hours to go with those crazy work hours? Well, dad would not have to work out a sleep schedule today if he was on shift work because he could take a pill (Provigil) for his Shift Work Disorder (SWD). Are we creating disorders and pills now for anything? This is really the lazy way out of this to be sure. And have you ever asked your healthcare rep at work why your premiums go up each year? They are sure to tell you that the cost of new illnesses and drugs are part of it...you do the math.

We also debuted on Stickam. That is right, a StudioCam!! Check it out:

NEVER FORGET 9/11/2001

Tonight on the program we welcomed Potia "Lady Rerun" Allen; daughter of the late Fred "Rerun" Berry. Potia spoke to us about her father and how off-screen, he was a serious but yet found a comedic way to everything in life. We spoke of his struggles with diabetes and more. We also spoke about her talk show, The Lady Rerun Show, which airs each Friday at 11 PM EST and her battle with Autism and her two children. Look for her to join us again on the program to speak more on Autism Awareness.

Later we spoke about the 10th Anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, where we were when we heard and how it affected our lives. Plus NFL kickoff week and more discussion on the show.

Happy Labor Day!!

Music Journalist David Wild took over the studios first and had a great show celebrating the 10th anniversary of the original motion picture soundtrack, O Brother, Where Art Thou. David has some comments from some of the actors from the movie as well as an interview with T-Bone Barnett. Download the podcast and listen to some music that made the soundtrack and some that didn't. It was a great show. Our thanks to David!

Afterwards, it was just a fun night being a holiday weekend and we took off from the usual rumblings and soap box speeches plus played some marching music...so you can think of that parade and fireworks on Labor Day.

Just a recap of the recent Hurricane Irene and some of our stories about it including the Baltimore Studio losing power over the weekend. We hoped for some listener calls and received none but we still covered the story well including the new threat forming called TS Katia. Please watch your local news and weather for information on that as it should hit the US early to mid-week.

Tonight on the show, we welcomed Dr. Ted Galen Carpenter who is a senior fellow for defense and foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute. Dr. Carpenter discussed the reasons why the United States must resist any type of military role in a post-Gaddafi Libya. The United States cannot afford a long-term financial rebuilding project. He also suggests that when the NATO operation is over, a country that has a closer and more direct interest, such as Italy, France or Spain should handle the after-party (so to speak).

Also, we checked in with details about the East Coast earthquake which happened in the Mineral, VA area 3.7 Miles below ground and was felt from South Carolina to Maine. It was the largest East Coast earthquake since 1944.
