We visited Richard at Northland College this weekend and I was honored to be a guest on the award-winning Tea Time at 12 radio show that he co-hosts with his friends Kevin and Dan. I realized after my guest-shot was over that Richard really wanted me to tell old-geezer stories about my community radio days. So I decided to put of few of them in this here Geezercast instead — maybe Rich can play them on WRNC some time to make up for my mistake.

Monday, October 2nd, 2006GC025 — Ray’s Song
Monday, September 25th, 2006Ze Frank has all us Sports Racers (check out The Show to find out more, or if you’re really into it check out his whole site — well worth the journey) mashing up a cool vocal track by a mystery guy named Ray. There are some interesting issues that have arisen now that it’s looking like Ray is an inner-city black preacher in St Louis who has trouble with Jewish people. I play the tracks I made up, and explore those issues, in this podcast.

Geezercast 20 — Music, Madison and etc
Monday, August 14th, 2006Well, the farm party is over, fall is in the air and I have a new keyboard to play with. So this is a Geezercast showing off what the new gizmo can do, which leads to reflections about the Mifflin Street Block Pary in Madison, WI of all things.
GeezerCast 15 – On walking, and bullies
Monday, May 1st, 2006Weird combo huh? Well, that’s what’s on my mind today. So this one talks about the walks that Marcie and I take every day and then slides into a brief description of an encounter that I had with a bully while I was out and about. Nothing specific, no gossip, just an observation that I can’t stand bullies and I tend to poke them in the eye when I encounter them.
Geezercast 14 – New Zealand trip
Sunday, April 16th, 2006Back from my first trip abroad in a really long time. A few observations about how “un-different” New Zealand is, although there are other things that were different enough to make it interesting. Sorry about the long hiatus in GeezerCasts.
GeezerCast 11 – Fame
Monday, January 30th, 2006I’ve had a few “15 minutes of fame” episodes and decided to share a few observations about getting/being a little bit famous. Nothing earthshattering. Pretty low-key.
GeezerCast 07 Woodworking, and the story of Stumpy
Monday, December 12th, 2005Seems like these GeezerCasts have gotten a little too work-centric. So this one is about how I got started with woodworking, and also tells the story of how I gave up my left index finger to the cause. No, it didn’t hurt much at all. Yes, it’s a funny story.
