Recidivism.

Each Sunday now, my brain struggles to adjust to the pressure drop that takes place on HBO from the consistently brilliant Deadwood to the much anticipated but consistently...um...less brilliant Lucky Louie. Despite mad props for Louis C.K., one of the R collective's favorite comedians, his stand up act has yet to translate on screen to any comparable degree of hilarity. Still, after only three shows I refuse to give up and remain hopeful that the show will hit its stride.

A Thought: Perhaps all that is needed is a slight modification to Deadwood's formula in order to lessen the disparity between the two shows. Enter Recid-O-Cast #010 (YouTubed below for the impatient types).

And what better way to mark our (long overdue) 10th podcast than to take it to the next generation. Videotape. It's the future of the industry.

[Get the next 10.]

I got a mysterious email from Dr. Red Duke this evening. It's come to this.

[Think we'll get to 10? Should you subscribe?]

It's about creative control for x-amount. This is what I have to go through to sell a concept on this two bit broadcast. Anyway, despite the drama, I think we're all on board and I've got my plane tickets. DRD in the NYC! Watch out, windy city!

Short, sweet, red and pink: the very definition of Dr. Red Duke's favorite things. Including this Valentine's Day quickie Recid-O-Cast where I pay tribute to our 16 year (!) relationship.

Subscribe in iTunes if you haven't already. Red's still next up-to-bat, and you're gonna wanna get in before he steps up again.

The 6th installment of the Recid-O-Cast is upon you. Right up on you. I've failed to deliver anything as strong as Dr. Red Duke's devastatingly solid Ray Nagin exclusive -- so don't get your hopes up. Perhaps this should simply be considered the set to the Dr.'s inevitable spike.

I did accomplish something fun though: the Recid-O-Cast is now available in the iTunes Podcast section. All official-like for the least official thing we've ever done. Subscribe in iTunes, or cut and paste this dedicated new feed into your podcast receptacle.

Finally, we set up an email address just for the Recid-O-Cast. It, along with email addresses for each of the R's regulars, can also be found on our new contact page.

No, I am not ticklish. These and other feverish ramblings about me are addressed in this, the 5th installment of the Recid-O-Cast. Plus, special guest Ray Nagin. All enveloped in a warm and wraspy voice that just begs to be recorded.

Submit to the will of the Recid-O-Cast RSS feed.

I don't care if it was 20 seconds long, that last one counts -- making this the fourth official installment in the series.

So smoke up all your weed and your licorice. Yo Red Duke, come here. Are you ticklish?

So sometimes I get ridiculous.

Dr. Red Duke is all hyped about this new version of iLife and the fancy web fanciness that they've made all easy and simple. One of the first things he's talked about doing is a podcast. I can't imagine anyone that I'd rather hear a podcast from more than the good Dr. In an effort at spurring him on, I've created something completely horrible to test out the R's new podcasting publishing capabilities. It is an audio recording. It is enhanced with pictures and sounds (watch in iTunes or your iPod for full effect). It was all created in Garageband -- SOC-style, in one take. It is the worst thing (and consequently why I'm posting on a Sunday, desperately hoping to be buried beneath the crushing weight of a Best Show recap). But it'll give Dr. Red Duke something to come out and play off of. Something to one-up.

Side benefit to this mess: resubscribe to the RSS feed in iTunes and the first file in all of our music and video posts will dump right into your iTunes/iPod world. With no pesky downloading needed.
