Basically, he says we're a bunch of nerds.
The following is a copy of a post I made at Candleblog earlier today...
So when we were at the Radio Bean on Friday doing our podcasting thing, Burlington writer, musician and all around dark lord Casey Rea walked by and basically ridiculed us from the street. Now he's ridiculing us on the web as well...
He's so wicked dead after school.

...Anyway, I was strolling past the Radio Bean recently, and happened to glance inside. Gathered around a table filled with microphones, headphones and laptops were four of the most unlikely folks I'd have ever imagined occupying an empty coffee shop on a Friday afternoon.
Seven Days' own Cathy Resmer, Matt G. Paradise--who is a far darker lord than I--media whiz Bill Simmon, and freaky artist/illustrator Greg Giordano were podcasting their little hearts out. They beckoned me in, but I was too frightened. Luckily my cellphone rang, giving me an excuse to beat a hasty retreat.
Beware, Burlingtonians. It's like some wi-fi Invasion of the Body Snatchers out there.

FCB in the news (again)
This time we got a mention in our own hometown Seven Days weekly alternative paper. It's part of a rundown of "Hot Stuff" (about 2/3 of the way down the page)...
And we got a picture too:
Thanks Cathy!
audio files
Longing for the days when commercial radio was local, or at least interesting? Try going online and downloading a few podcasts to your iPod, laptop or MP3 player. These audio files contain all manner of talk and music. You can even find religion -- the Panton Community Baptist Church now offers podcasts of their Sunday services. Thanks to RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds, you can subscribe to your favorites -- like Burlington's Friday Coffeeblogging, featured recently in BusinessWeek magazine -- and get the latest episodes in your inbox, a la TiVo. If you don't already use RSS, or you haven't hopped on the blog bandwagon quite yet, you'll have a little catching up to do before you're podcast-compatible. Podcast Alley -- www.podcastalley.com -- is a good place to start. Technophobes, take heart -- listening to and recording these DIY productions will only get easier.

FCB in the news
First off, I apologize to anyone who's been checking here a lot for last week's FCB. It's been a very busy week for me professionally and I just haven't had the time to get it together. We recorded a new episode last night so I now have two "in the can" and I will be finishing them up and getting them posted in the next couple of days, I promise!
Now some good news! We were mentioned in a national magazine's article about podcasting! Business Week has an article in the June 6th edition called The Lowdown on Podcasting and we're the lede! Thanks for this publicity windfall goes to FCBer NTodd and Vermont web cheerleader Morgan Brown for getting out there and waving the FCB flag.
