No podcast this (last) weekend

I went on a campout, so I never came home on Friday. Had I been not stupid, I would have made this post on Thursday.

We do not have enough audio to release a show, so expect one next weekend.

Technology Failure

The official recording device of Bustopia, the Noobulous' MP3 Player, has died today due to shoddy manufacturing. This prevented recording from taking place today, although not much would have happened anyway, because few members were present. I'm bringing two alternative recording devices tomorrow: a cassette recorder and another digital recorder. Hopefully this won't be a major setback, and we can probably still release an episode this weekend. We hope we Don't Stop.

Updated Poetry

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.
The system is down. The system is down.
Down down down down down down down down...
Robots... Running... Forever.
The center cannot hold. 3:57.
Robots... Running... Robots.
Anarchy is loosed upon the world.
The system ... is down.
Robots ... ... Fabris.
Dying Mr. Fabris. The system is down.
Robots Running ForFabris.

Bustopia Torrent 1-3

Anybody want to download the first three episodes of Bustopia in one convenient torrent? Of course you do. Here it is.

Bustopia_1-3.torrent

By the way, that reminds me, I want to talk about our host. Archive.org is a nonprofit organization that hosts content with expired copyright or free content by independent artists for free. Bustopia falls into the latter category. Without them, people like us who want to get our content out but don't have money would be pretty screwed. So if for any reason the Bustopia podcast gives you an urge to donate money, after seeing a shrink, donate it to archive.org.

Bustopia Podcast Episode 3

Okay, you guys are lucky I'm an insomniac. Here it is. It's a bit shorter than usual, but that's probably for the better, since you guys are doing us a favor by listening to this crap anyway.

On the program today:
-Not suicide
-Eating flies
-TERRANCE's girlfriend (and others) ask Bustopia
-Various shorts

Bustopia Episode 3

Episode 3 delayed due to laziness

I should have released episode 3 yesterday, but I was too busy doing homework. And by "doing homework," I mean "neglecting homework and watching MacGyver." Anyway, just now I edited most of it, but not all of it, and I'm going to bed now. So expect the release tomorrow morning. Good night and Girlstart. Keep that molasses-ey torrent of listener feedback coming.

Decline in Bustopia's Work Ethic

I am having problems with the other citizens of Bustopia; they seem to want to spend less and less time recording each busride. They always say "I don't feel like it, maybe later." I suspect they are becoming disillusioned because they think that we aren't accomplishing anything. But I know for a fact that we have at least two listeners (Ida and Ben), and I assume (optimistically) that we have a few more.

So, I'd like all you fans to flood this post with encouraging comments, so I can print them out and renew my fellow citizens' faith in this project. I've set the blog up so that you don't need Google registration to comment. So tell us how much you love the show and what you would like to hear on the show and why we should continue to work diligently on the show.

Please.

Notes to self

-Feed the cats
-Take out the trash

Bustopia Podcast Episode 2

Is ready now.

On the program today:
-We introduce a new cast member, Terrance. He was actually already active in Bustopia, but wasn't available for any of the recording sessions for Episode 1.
-Many reviews
-A PSA
-Random shorts
-Ridiculous

I would also like to note that we don't have an Ask Bustopia in this episode. If you are one of the 6,525,170,264 people who did not send in a question to bustopia@gmail.com, you'll be unhappy to know that you are personally responsible for this tragedy. Nice going, jerk. Get the emails flowing, and feel free to send voice recordings. We'll play them on the show, respond to them, make fun of them, etc. (if you don't want your message read/played on the show, say so in the email).

Anyway, happy postThursday, and enjoy.

Bustopia Episode 2

Say hello to irregular release cycle

The original plan called for this podcast being weekly. However, since the other members of Bustopia are reluctant to participate in recording sessions regularly because they don't give a damn, it's probably going to be less-than-weekly. I had the audio for Episode 2 last weekend, but I never had time to edit it, so I plan to release Episode 2 this weekend. I probably won't have enough content for Episode 3 this weekend, because of various content-reducing troubles, so that will probably be released during next week or the following weekend.
Girlstart.
