Welcome to this episode of Echo recorded in San Francisco, CA. Erk went for a ride on the Muni Light Rail and Streetcar systems. He also recorded part of this episode on BART but due to recording FAIL, it does not make it onto the episode.

Erk rides the Red line on the Light Rail system and a couple of short trips on the F line Streetcar. Due to the massive amount of people, Erk didn’t ride but saw the famous San Francisco cable cars.

As I type this, I am sitting opposite Strange Love Live host Cami Kaos preparing for my appearance on Strange Love Live this weekend. I have been listening to SLL since NaPodPoMo (aka Nannapoopoo) in November last year. Cami and Dr Normal made an appearance towards the end of Erk Pod Round Table 11 last year and now I am on their turf in Portland, Orgeon!

Each week, Cami and the Doc produce two separate editions of SLL. There is live video streaming with a chat room. There are video and audio versions of the podcast if you can not watch/listen live.

The show opens with a Tech Edition where Cami speaks with someone involved in tech and/or social media. This is usually their latest project. This show runs for 30 minutes.

After a short break, the lights go down and the mood changes as we head into Strange Love Live After Hours. This is where anything could happen with the guest from the Tech Edition as well as interaction with the studio audience and online viewers/listeners. After Hours can run from 60 to 90 minutes depending on the guest.

So where I fit into all of this? Well, this week, it is my turn to be the guest on the show. The Tech Edition will mostly likely be us taking about Erk Pod and Channel Erk and I think that between Cami, Dr Normal and I, After Hours is going to be a lot of fun, too.

The Tech Edition with Erk commences at 10pm West Coast US time on this Friday which is 3pm East Coast Australia time on Saturday afternoon. This will be followed by After Hours.

The current plan is for the next episode of Erk Pod to be recorded some time before SLL on Friday with me chatting with Cami and Doc about their show. This would be episode 185 of Erk Pod. Hopefully I will be able to include both SLL versions with Erk on the Erk Pod/Channel Erk feeds so that will be Erk Pod 186 (Tech) and Erk Pod 187 (After Hours).

Welcome to episode 12 of Blast From the Past. On this episode, Erk and Judy received a phone call from Judy’s cousin in Tasmania while recording episode 10. So we decided to make it into an episode of its own as Judy gets blasted about her past. There’s no set topic for this episode so sit back and watch Judy hear “back in my day…….” from someone older than her!

Welcome to episode 15 of Erk FM. On episode 1 of Erk FM, podcast themes were played in full rather than the 10-30 seconds that we normally hear them for. So for episode 15, I thought we’d return to the theme and feature more podcast themes!

Song List:

Music from the Podsafe Music Network, The Song of the Day & Modular Records. Thank you to the various podcasters who themes feature in this episode.

Welcome to episode 182 181 oh wait it is actually 182 of Erk Pod which was recorded in Reno, Nevada. Erk’s special guest is Mignon Fogarty who is better known in podcasting as Grammar Girl.

I have been listening to the Grammar Girl podcast for about 18 months or so. It was one of the first podcasts that I found to listen to once I’d started listening to podcasts that aren’t produced by radio stations.

During the extended chat, we talk about the Grammar Girl podcast, audio book and podcast. And yes, Erk has indeed read the book! We also talk about appearing on Oprah (Mignon, not me), the writing and audiobook recording process and more. We also talk about Erk’s current location, Reno.

Overall, it was an awesome way to spend an afternoon and I enjoyed this interview. Hopefully I don’t come across as being too much of a fanboy!
