Episode twelve — “Just say ‘know’!”

admin — Sat, 15 Jan 2011 22:01:56 +0000

We ring in the new year (pronounced “twenty-eleven”) by pondering the “homeless-announcer-guy-with-the-’golden-voice’” phenomenon and taking callers a-plenty. The Idea Guy and Vlad offer their services. City workers Toucan and Charlie heatedly tell us know how the snow job’s going. Then, it’s a rocky road to play the pajama game with Mr. Patel.

Special thanks to Steven Reines and Hans Chew.

Episode eleven — “Dreamland”

admin — Sun, 12 Dec 2010 00:03:25 +0000

Welcome to Dreamland! Cozy? Good. Tuck yourself right in for this sugarplum of a bedtime story. Join us for a special library visit, a sloppy shopping sing-a-long, talking turkey, sounds* from Carter Thornton and a shout-out from rock-and-roll’s Hans Chew. Plus, we’ll share how we stumbled upon the pitfalls of the new Twitter interface in our “Social not-working” segment, and Mr. Patel will tell us how it is.

Want to join us? Have a comment or question? Call us or send us an e-mail!

Extra-special thanks to our sponsor: The Dreamcatcher 5000 (6:14)!

And to these fellows worth knowing: Hans Chew, Carter Thornton and Steven Reines.

Episode ten — “Fall on stony ground”

Now hear this!

The apple doesn’t far fall from from the tree. It can be transported efficiently by rail, though. But watch the gravel on those tracks! If this pome fruit falls in the creek, it floats, because apples are 25% air! Mixed up? Well, we’ve mixed it up for big number “one-oh” with some hot air of our own in colorful varieties!

This autumnal episode’s a real scream! Listen as we work on preliminary seasonal therapy and laugh about laughing. Our “Social not-working” segment is back with impressions of Twitter’s face lift and more on the iPhone 4. Say, what’s that smell? If you haven’t already, please throw away those rottin’ decorations. (Halloween’s for kids, punks). Super-special thanks to our engineer, Steven Reines and cred to Pain Teens. Want to join us? Send us an e-mail or give us a ring at (707) 901-SHOW!

Episode nine — “Reality vacation”

admin — Sat, 02 Oct 2010 02:25:05 +0000

What is the “magic future”? Listen up! It’s number nine and you’ve got a one-way ticket to ride. Our treat. This time, we talk about summer vacation, holding down the fort, social-not-working trends, as well as get some valuable listener feedback.

Extra special thanks to our talented audio engineer, Steven Reines, for keeping us on track.

Additional thanks to @annmarietv for asking all the right questions.

E-mail us or call us at (707) 901-SHOW with any questions or just to say “hi!” We just might reply on the next show!

Episode eight — “Interstellar feller”

admin — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 14:08:52 +0000

Listener/experimental travel writer Jerome communicates some intriguing experiences from Copperhill. We toss around corporate acronyms, question “on the air“, consider anti-social “e-tiquette” and each misunderstand the other‘s brand. “To each his own ♫” goes this Know Show!

Episode seven — “Water wonderful world”

admin — Tue, 11 May 2010 00:02:43 +0000

And … we’re back. Hey, life gets busy. And when it rains, it pours.

For now, we invite you to check out lucky episode number seven (7!) of the show. We dive in again to discover that where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Let’s raise a glass to the Universal Solvent. Hold the Crystal Light. It’s gonna be a long summer.

Episode six — “The digital error”

admin — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 18:02:04 +0000

Is ours a predictable era or an era of predictable error? Expect the unexpected as we cloud your head with worldly thoughts of weather forecasting, critters and digital innovation.

Special thanks to this week’s sponsor, Hohumdai Motors.

Episode five — “Protect yourself”

admin — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 17:57:36 +0000

Dom calls, Old Man Winter stops by, and we consider the five Ps of winter preparedness. This week’s DEFILE FILE is on confusing our kids and CBS’ lewd Frosty.

Special thanks to Steven Reines.

Episode four — “Slack to the future”

admin — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 18:33:05 +0000

Happy New Decade, you! Things haven’t changed that much – we still love to gripe and talk back. Showing that knowing a little about a lot is a very dangerous thing, it’s a frightfully winterized Know Show!
