That Gets My Goat 109: Do You Believe In Magic?

Big and Rish have been dabbling in magic recently. No, not tarot cards or crystal balls, not Saidin or Saidar, not a fairy godmother or a voodoo priest either. Not even Magic the Gathering role playing games. No, they're getting into that nerdiest of all magics: spreadsheets! Listen in to find out more.

TGMG Extra: The Drawing of the Three

Recently, the Dunesteef Audio Fiction Magazine announced another story-writing contest (its first since 2011), a short story challenge called the Triple Word Score Contest. Contestants had to opt-in, and would be given three words (nouns) at random, which they had to base their stories around.

In preparation for this, Big and Rish asked their listeners to send in lists of words, and when all was said and done, there were around four hundred words printed out and sliced into little strips of paper, stuck in a hat, and drawn "live" in the following recording.

For the actual episode of the show in which it was announced, we just read the finished list, but are providing the drawing here for your listening pleasure.

Be warned: this could be a slightly amusing listen, or dangerously boring. It's possibly even both at the same time.  But we did our best to make it entertaining, because we care just that much.

That Gets My Goat 108: Her Name Was Veronica

So, Rish was fascinated by the recent "Veronica Mars" Kickstarter project and some speculation that it's either the best thing to happen to Hollywood, or the end as we know it.  Warning: at some point, "Firefly" gets mentioned.
