GlimmerCast Episode 12 - The End! (for now)



Ok, so it has been FOREVER since Dustin and I have sat down to record an episode, but we explain why in the show, so check it out, ok?

This is our last show of the academic year 08-09, so I hope you enjoy it!

In this show you'll find excuses for why it's been so long between episodes, a brief year in review, some flipping through the yearbook, and an if I were in charge

As always, send me an e-mail at shale2@olivet.edu with any comments and the like.

EDIT: I just realized that I forgot to edit in an audio clip from a previous episode. The clip was from episode 8, in the first minute, where we are explaining a new strategy of doing podcasts more often and at a shorter length. That should put our comments in context. Sorry!

GlimmerCast Episode 10 - The Decasode




We're back with episode 10 of the GlimmerCast, and we are joined by special guest Junior class president Brad Arthur to talk about goings on in ASC and biscuits/gravy deals around town.

In this episode we talk about how we so badly need some new segments, prompting us to brainstorm new ones. Heres some new segments in this episode:

"What'd we do this weekend?"
"Brainstorming for Segements segment"
"Secret Segment"
"Prop's and Boo's"

so...yeah, if you have any ideas for new segments, send em' along.

As always, contact me at shale2@olivet.edu

Cheers!

GlimmerCast Episode 9 - The Fanfare




Hey all...so this is episode 9 of the GlimmerCast - The Fanfare.

In this episode we sit down and interview Jessica Shumaker, the executive editor of the GlimmerCast.
Due to the length of the interview and the utter lack of olivet-news to discuss, we've kept the rest of the episode pretty light this week.

In announcements, we're looking for new segments/new helpers with the show, so if you have any ideas or would like to be a part, let me know at shale2@olivet.edu

As an update on those of you waiting for the 4th episode of the Chronicles....it's not coming, sorry. Basically, we must have stopped recording before we were actually done, so it awkwardly ends mid-sentence. If you have an insatiable addiction to our cast (which im assuming most of you have) I can e-mail the mp3 of unfinished 'lost chronicle' to you.

Lastly, Jessica's email is jshumake@olivet.edu just in case you didnt catch it in the interview.

Cheers,
Scott

GlimmerCast Chronicles Day Three - Day 3 - Perry (Again)




So it's day three (saturday) of winter break and we're continuing on with our travel chronicles...sort of.

See, basically, it snowed, and my car can't handle that very well, so we weren't able to make it as far north as we wanted...but we can pretend, right?

In this episode we talk about what it would be like to be in the UP, interview some locals, and compare the Mackinac bridge to the proposed Olivet bridge.

GlimmerCast Chronicles Day 2 - Perry, MI




It's day TWO of the epic GlimmerCast Chronicles as we wind our way through michigan.

On today's podcast we explored the small town of Perry, northeast of lansing, Josh bought a donut, and flipped through the latest edition of the glimmerglass.

Tomorrow we're getting up early and driving up to Houghton to stay the night at Michigan Tech...we'll be podcasting along the way, and taking a pit stop in Mackinac to interview some locals and see some sights.

With any luck I'll find a spare michigan license plate along the way to start building my collection of a license plate from every state.

Add us as a fan on facebook (search glimmercast) or check back the blog for photos uploaded soon, and we'll be uploading tomorrow's cast tomorrow night if we have internet access.

Enjoy!

The GlimmerCast Chronicles - Day One




It's officially winter break and Dustin and I have taken our beloved podcast on the road...more specifically, to Michigan, the U.P., and (later) Wisconsin. Dustin, Myself, and our cohorts Josh Hjort (yort) and Alex Green are taking the computer and microphones (and cameras) everywhere we go, talking about whatever we see.

In this episode we make a pit stop in Olivet, MI, and finally land at home "base" in Perry, MI where dustin and Alex reside. We'll be uploading as often as we get the chance and pictures will be forthcoming (I forgot to bring my cable with me, so that will probably wait until we get back to Bourbonnais).

Tell your friends!
