notes on podcasts

mar 2 - very interesting podcast on the ZBS Foundation, makers of quality radio fiction, never heard of them before

• ZBS Foundation: lots of audio available, not free but there are samples, also check out amazon etc. to buy, would make a good birthday present, etc. nice quality stuff (2-minute film noir, nice genre)
• who is the protagonist of a series of audio dramas produced by the ZBS Foundation
  jack flanders, wiki
• "what appears to be coming at you is coming from you"
• "he doesn't appear to believe or disbelieve what is happening to him"
• "the removal of the skin sounds was done by tearing apart bell peppers"
• "there's a pervasive of humor even in the most dire of situations in ZBS radio fiction"
• "is humor something that people respond badly to in terms of art?"
• "what ZBS blessedly lacks is an overseriousness for Eastern philosophy"
• "he takes it seriously but in an unappealing way, she takes it lightly but not unseriously"
• "if we could see reality the way it really is, we would go insane"
• "I feel the mind web, searching, sifting..."
• "her circuits are oozing out of her stomach, she's not human"
• "you didn't know I could control time, I smile, here's a kiss for you"
• "my name is ruby, I'm a galactic gumshoe, a good one"
• "in 1977 there weren't too many woman models in media who could stand on their own"
• "jack and ruby have evolved into the twin icons of ZBS"
• "yes that's what we're attempting but rarely achieve"
• "she comes from a place where nobody comes from, that's because we're all trying to get there"
• "sounds bleak, sounds black, but doesn't sound boring"
• "videos must seem needless after achieving so much in audio"
• "once I found out what I was doing I had to find something else interesting to do"
• "tombstone: never missed a deadline, not even this one"
• "the energy is different when something is live"
• Barely Literate podcasts: done by Colin Marshall, last one in december 2009, book reviews
