First of all, here's a quick and easy way to listen to EVERY episode of our show.
For those just now listening to the show, I wanted to give a fair warning that there is some occassional "blue language", nothing explicit in nature, but on a few occassions, a swear word here and there were included in the mix of the conversation. Drew Steck and Rick Katschke and all guests did this for comedic effect, not because they are unclassy individuals. Listen with caution.

Not committed to listening to all 18 episodes yet? Here's a 15 minute sampler, which is far from the "best of" our show, but instead gives you a good feel of what to expect: http://www.archive.org/download/InternetsMaximumPotentialSampler/InternetsMaximumPotentialSampler.mp3

http://internetsmaximumpotential.blogspot.com/2008/08/episode-18-season-series-finale.html

Due to complications with communication on the part of Rick Katschke, Rick and Drew were not able to do a California-based show during Rick's incredibly brief stay in Torrance, California.

Drew's short film "Angel", mentioned in episode 18, is available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1gzbvyYRtw

Shortly after the airing of episode 18, Rick Katschke was offered a job and is currently employed. He is saving up so he can start two podcasts...when he does, you will hear it here first.

Most importantly, friend of the show Tinyfolk, has released his latest album "Catfood Shotgun Goddamn", which features some really awesome songs such as "Bubble Guns (Hello Shark)", but also notably features the theme song he created for the Guestapalooza. "Catfood Shotgun Goddamn" can be streamed and downloaded for free at http://cllct.com/release/catfoodshotgungoddamn

Steckman87@gmail.com (Drew Steck and Rick Katschke) — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 09:54:00 +0000

It all comes down to this. In the final 75 minutes of the Internet's Maximum Potential, Drew Steck and Rick Katschke come to terms with the imminent passing of the show. Will it return or is this the last hurrah? A downtrodden aura surrounds the show, so Rick and Drew combat it by trying to incorporate three episodes into one. Don't miss the thrilling conclusion!

Thank you for listening,
Rick and Drew

The original title for this episode was "Swit Down", but the last few minutes of the episode (containing that reference) were unfortunately lost. Our movie recommendations were lost as well, but they were:
John- Saddest Music in the World
Brad - Speed Racer
Rick - Super High Me
Drew - 40 Days, 40 Nights/30 Days of Night/Six Days, Seven Nights, any M. Night film
