Two True Freaks

Last night podcasting giant Michael Bailey did a call-in show for the 100th episode of his first podcast "Views From The Longbox". Many of his friends in the podcasting world called in, and while we waited we were put in a "green room" chat room. At least twenty or more podcasts were represented in there and it informally became Pod-Con 2010. Lots of connections were made and one of them was between myself and "Two True Freaks" hosts Scott Gardner and Chris Honeywell.

I've been listening to their "Star Wars Monthly Monday" segment for months now and it was nice to finally talk with them. Each SWMM segment usually consists of reviews of a Clone Wars episode, an Expanded Universe novel and a few issues of the Marvel Comic series with dashes of tangents and side ruminations thrown in. It''s very enjoyable. I became aware of them during the recording of the first episode of the podcast by none other than Michael Bailey. I listened to them but told myself I wouldn't listen ahead of the point of the series I'm reviewing as not to inadvertently copy their thoughts or comments. No such luck. The stuff was so enjoyable that I wound up listening to all SWMM episodes from November to last week.

Even though our projects are very similar we connected and have peacefully co-existed and even offered to trade files of stuff the other person was missing. We shared thoughts and comments on things each of us missed. It was great fun. I've added their link on the sidebar, check it out!
