I wanted to make everyone aware of additional recordings of Balticon panels that Viv and I participated on.
I didn’t feel right about dropping these directly into either of our podcast feeds since they contain no gaming, parenting, or blending content 
They are focused on podcasting/recording/audio techie stuff.
You can check them out over at my new site Random Acts of Chooch. The three panels contain different combinations of me, Viv, Scott Sigler, PG Holyfield, MAinPA, Thomas “Command Line” Gideon, Dan the Fan, Nobilis Reed, Marc “Grailwolf” Bailey, Heather Welliver, and Tyler Waldeman.
New CoH specific content is Coming Soon™
Viv and I are proud to bring you our first live show ever. We recorded an episode of our Into The Blender podcast over Memorial Day weekend at Balticon. ITB is our podcast that is a family journal of sorts.
In this episode we do talk about gaming (video and otherwise), so we thought it would be OK to cross post to CoH Podcast. There’s no CoH News or CoH specific content, so feel free to skip this one if you are a hater of teh fluff.
A special thanks to everybody that came out and participated! You truly made this a special event for us!
I wrote this song to highlight Balticon 43 and our New Media Party as well as some great podcast and web comic creators. Enjoy!
Oh and feel free to include it in your own show if you’re a podcaster

I think we’ve broken our own record again, making this the longest episode. This wasn’t the intention, but I guess we’ll see if everybody who said “longer episodes please!” really meant it I promise that this won’t be a habit and future episodes will get back under the hour mark.
This is part two of our guest interview with Rich. There was some very important, last minute news that was added just before we posted though which takes a little time to get through.
In this episode we discuss:
