EP200a

Welcome to Erk Pod episode 200! This episode was streamed live on uStream and is also available as a podcast episode. It was live but a different format to a Round Table that was held in 2008. It commenced at 12 noon (Sydney time) on Sunday 5 July 2009. There were people live in the chat room as well.

It is a big show and it will be released as one episode. There are a couple bits of strong language & themes but not enough for an explicit tag!

Guests:

  • Colin from the Ourobouros podcast
  • Shawno  & Jen from Hyper Nonsense
  • Judy (my mum) who hosts Blast From The Past & Judy’s Blast FM
  • Carl who is a young actor and writer
  • Cami Kaos & Dr Normal from Strange Love Live

MUSIC: Do Si Do – Julie The Band. Hear more music like this and a lot more on Erk FM!

Introduction voices (in order):

There were some highlights from previous shows featuring many voices that have featured on Erk Pod. Thank you to everyone who has played a part big or small in Erk Pod. There are too many people to name here but they know who they are. There were also messages from Trucker Tom and Squeak.

On this episode, we find out about some people’s highlights of Erk Pod, find out a bit more about the 4th of July in America, find out who is going to be on TV soon and a lot more. You can also see the low quality web cam footage here but it is most Erk just looking at the camera. Erk Pod isn’t designed to be a video podcast!

There is also an episode 200 competition! Guess how much US money is in this plastic cup from Erk’s US trip and the nearest guess to the correct amount will win. You will win the cup complete with money and a couple of other Erk Pod related items. Multiple entries are allowed and email entries ONLY sent to erkpod@gmail.com will be accepted. Entries close on July 31, 2009. Winner will be announced on the first Erk Pod episode in August.

There is only American currency in this cup including pennies (1c), nickels (5c), dimes (10c) and quarters (25c) so unlike if it was filled with Australian coins, there may be an odd amount! So get your guesses in!

And Erk will even pay the postage!
