January 29, 2022, at 7:00 PM - trying to make it all North America time zone friendly.

Question for Our Patreon Malcontents

Hello Malcontents and than you for your support! All of you!

I'm thinking in my head how to provide better value to our Patreons (we are long overdue to for a private AMA).

I have never been a fan of "exclusive content" e.g. news stories only subscribers get to see. Honestly we're not big enough for it and it feels very paywall - that goes against my ethos.

The reality is, ya' all keep the lights on and basically cover monthly technology costs for - everything (website, I...

Building Out Studio 3 - Sneak Peek - Updates - Thanks to You

There is a very likely chance that tomorrow we will do a Zoom for Patrons only (sorry, it will be short notice) with a sneak-peek into Studio 3.

On Monday we will be in-studio for the first time since COVID, and Jennifer and I will be together. So Sunday will be a tech check for lights, sound, framing, etc.

If you're interested in how live video production sausage is made, cursing included...

Documentary: Can You Hear Us? Airs May 26, 2021 @ 8 PM PDT

I first want to thank all of our Patreons. Without you, this wouldn't be possible. All of you have had a hand in the hundreds of hours of work that has gone into producing, Can You Hear Us?

After we made the preview cut, we discovered over 30 additional hours of video, and hundreds...

Show Notes and Research from April 29 and May 3

Things were a little hectic the last couple of days.

We continue to evolve things from a technical standpoint. We're hoping that Jennifer's internet connection woes aside, sound and video should be improved. We're still getting use to improved microphones and different mute buttons, but things went a lot smoother during the second half of the May 3 show.

A quick word on research notes. In some cases, such as when we talk directly to sources, we may not include those specific not...

Show Notes From April 15, 2021 & More

Yesterday was a crazy news cycle and rough one. We were editing show notes up until the last minute. Technology was a nightmare for us yesterday. Not only was the microphone in Studio 2 not behaving (again), but Zoom was not recording audio in the cloud (Zoom issue) on Thursday afternoon. We had to try the Boonie Dog interview four times, with the fourth time done in Studio One using equipment from the marketing agency side of the house (and a much nicer tone on audio if you noticed, but no c...

1/25/21 Release for Can You Hear Us & General Update

Hello Patreons!

We value the First Amendment, and one of our core principles is the defense of the right to free speech, the right to assembly, the right to worship, the right to seek redress of grievances against ...
