Grandilar Game Podcast 13 is released into the wild.

Grandilar Game Podcast #13. Released 04/22/2009

Hosted, written and edited by Mark Ellis Harmon.

Sponsored by Art by Susan Van Camp.

Music provided by Flare Starfire.

In this episode, the second one covering the Astral World, we hear the story of Sybian as she experiments with Astral Magics and helps to create Astral Theory.

Rather than write an article on these legends and stories I prefer to use the modern equivelent of the bards of Grandilar. So, take a seat, light up a pipe, sip a beer, and listen to the story by going to our Libsyn Episode Feed and hearing it for yourself. Of course, you can also sign up for the podcast in Itunes and have the bard come to you. Either way works just fine.

And if you like what you heard, you can come back here and put something in the bards hat. I'm sure he will use it wisely, really, I'm sure. The button below is set to take a $1.00 donation.

Something Different to Listen to

This is one of the news programs that I listen to. It is called the Archaeology Channel. I like to keep up on a number of interests that let me in on our combined history. Curiosity keeps me going.

Link to The Itunes Store

Link to the Website.

Podcast Recomendations

Now here is one that is just plain entertaining. If you are easily offended by blasphemy, cornholery, sarcasm or good clean American fun, you should skip this one. It is called Crusade - by Greg Crites. And this is a direct link to the Itunes location. If you are looking for the Podiobook link to get the files outside Itunes you would click here.

I also want to bring The Veingel - by Jeremy James to your attention. What you will find is the story of a Nephilium, a war, and a well done story. However, once again I must warn that this one could be offensive to a few people. This link should take you to the Itunes feed. If you would rather go directly to the website, then you should use this link.

Hmm, must be my mood. Both of these stories have a distinct attitude. Enjoy.

Another Off the Wall Recomendation

I am aware that this is a stretch for what I'm doing here, but there you go.

I recently listened to "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley. I picked up mine through Itunes. You can use the link in the upper right to get Itunes fired up and at the store. (Yes, that is a hint.) While it is most certainly out-of-date it has illustrations of things we need to watch out for as our world changes. On top of which it is entertaining.

When you combine that book with the Mike Wallace interviews it adds another dimension.

The first of three Mike Wallace interviews by Mike Wallace:

Enjoy!

Recommendations

With the political season rolling on I want to recommend a political/talk podcast Called Common Sense. This is the itunes link for the show. Dan is not your normal fellow. He really is usually taking the third position on most issues. I do have to say that I don't always agree with him, but he does encourage thinking.

My second recommendation for this week is "Forgotten Classics". She is doing readings of older obscure written works. The itunes link for this one is here. Now, I nee to be honest here, in an earlier podcast she did a short review of the Mark's Mysteries podcast and she gave me a good review. She did wonder where I was going with these stories and I still don't have an answer for that. *sigh*

Well, thats it for this week.

Something Different

I have been turning to podcasts for entertainment rather than the traditional TV type media. The variety and quality of podcasts vary wildly, but I rate them on the news/information and entertainment values. This week I have found something different to let you in on.

I am always looking for "background" information for my podcasts from our own worlds history. I have been poking around looking at Archeological podcasts recently.

The Archeology Channel has a podcast that you can find at apples itunes. They also have a website with information. There podcasts are short, informative and not hard on the ears. Well worth listening to.

Since I can't keep up I'll start Passing on my favorites.

I am having a lot of trouble breaking out the time to do my podcasts. To compensate I will share with you some of the podcasts that I enjoy. These will be a wide ranging selection as podcasts have become my background noise as I work.

With politics on our minds I would like to point out a Podcast called Common Sense by Dan Carlin. He is one of those people who really does not think any of the people in power have really got things figured out. He is opinionated, radical and manages to anger just about everyone at one time or another.

If you are interested in the third point of view, check out this podcast.

Enjoy!
