Just a reminder, all Awkward Hour episodes are still available to view:

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/the-awkward-hour
Audio shows are still on iTunes, look for more audio soon as I strip the sound from video shows like bark from an aging tree to add to the 74 odd files already available for download at iTunes! Meanwhile take the opportunity to get caught up!
——————————————————————
Also, now for a limited time only I can offer some very exciting packages for Awkward Hour Fanclub members, of which you are at least one!

$20 Fanclub kit: Awkward Hour t-shirt like those worn by Team Awkward in the local Podcasters Pool tournament, all individually hand-painted by me! with the ‘My Name Is=Awkward Hour’ name tag show logo, bumper sticker, Awkward Hour button and mention on the show as supporting member.

$50 Sponsorships: Includes everything seen above in the Awkward Hour fanclub kit, plus mentions on the show, Awkward Hour website page on http://stakerized.com/?page_id=23
mentions in any on air broadcasts including guest appearances on other shows, and an ‘Awkward Minute’ in which I will read any copy you request on the show each week, some restrictions apply. For a limited time only this level of support will reserve an entire year’s sponsorship for your fine establishment or concern.

$100 Patron Saint of Awkward: All the above plus an episode of the show in which you make a guest appearance! Yes two full hours of awkwardness with you under the glaring eye of the camera! Suitable for Holiday and ’prank’ gift giving occasions of questionable taste. Also includes a hand-(de)signed deed for one parcel of land in Awkward Acres! Think of it, you can be one of the first to ’squat’ a piece of homestead on the new frontier, New Awkwardia! It’s the new (insert ethnic group of your choice) supremacist enclave for the new  Millennia, only it’s more like ‘Inferioricist.’

Seriously, I have had a couple of emergencies recently & am trying to raise funds to help with expenses in attending the Blogworld Conference in Las Vegas Oct 14-18. I am hoping to cover it and also host an Awkward Hour episode live from the conference Thurs Oct 15.
Also I am incurring expenses to set up a new studio to podcast from live.
Donations can be made to my Paypal account at this email address:

Thanks for anything you can do,
it means a lot.

Yours in Awkwardness,
Brian

PostHeaderIcon Awkward Hour this Thursday!

This Thursday the Awkward Hour live! takes another foray into the world of cookery with veggie chef Matt Crane, tempered by local stand-up comedian Cody Eden, who is headlining a show July 12 at Mo’s. Watch Thurs Live 7-10pm at:

The Awkward Hour on Ustream.tv!
All previous episodes going back to Andy Patterson in March are archived there on video too, if you want to catch up on any of them.

Just a few words on the latest Awkward Hour episodes I uploaded yesterday:

Episode 40 Pt 4 may be the most bizarre hour of podcasting in the short history of the medium: solo rant vs. chatroom, playing “what body part is this?,” (”this is my brain: pretty dark inside there huh”), consumed with imbibery to the point of being temporarily permanently affixed to the floor, writing & conducting a ‘feedback symphony’  and last but not least, listening to the first hour of the show & commenting on it.

THIS EPISODE IS NOT SUITABLE LISTENING FOR ANYBODY!

The other 12 or so hours of me ranting to the chatroom aren’t quite as ‘experimental,’  but come close: asking ‘who are anyone of us really’ in addition to fake internet identities,  repeating words until they sound like nonsense, and frightening away both listeners and dogs. I didn’t even get to play the Found Magazine interview yet, watch for that soon.

Also two brief clips of song demos I wrote for an album I working on in the studio beginning later this month.

Any comments at all you have about it are very welcome & I can read them on the show or not, whichever you prefer.
It could be delightfully awkward!
Thanks for all your support and enjoyment of the show,
Brian

PostHeaderIcon I Stayed Up All Night Podcasting

Have you ever had a night when you couldn’t sleep at all?

That was last night, catching up on uploading shows going clear back to May’s interview with brilliant local artist John Bell, which I hesitated even posting for a long time since it was derailed by the third wheel. Never again! Proceeding to three new episodes with just me ranting, and the chat room retorts.

Over 10 hours of just me, all you could possibly ever want to know about me! You can go through the entire friendship cycle of meeting, interest, fun, anger, boredom, disgust and bitter falling-out without meeting me personally! All the tedium, none of the halitosis! As always, not appropriate for work or children! Or dogs when I crank up the feedback!

If you haven’t subscribed to The Awkward Hour on iTunes yet, now is an excellent time! It can’t get any cheaper, unless I paid you to watch. And I do owe a couple of people $5 dollars from that one time I did, don’t let me forget about that.

Also see video if you are like me, and like to have pictures with your stories:
The Awkward Hour archives at Ustream.tv!

Watch for this week’s show Thurs July 9, 7-930pm cooking show with veggie chef Matt Crane & comedian Cody Eden. Live on Ustream.tv!

Watch for other exciting guests & special events later this summer!

PostHeaderIcon NEWS UPDATES!!!

A Couple News Updates:

If you missed any of the riveting episodes (and I DO mean riveting–you will have to procure either metal cutters or a welding torch to unfasten your metal-fuzed eyeballs affixed to screen) of the Awkward Hour, you can still go back and watch them:

As for the Awkward Hour, June 18 will feature Circus Brown from KRCL fm he recently moved his indie music show to Friday nights! Looking for a guest for June 11, so I don’t have to talk to myself again–I already do that pretty much all day long anyway! Watch for some super special guests I’m working on booking, also some great events to make your Summer an Awkward one!

thanks for all yr support,
B.
