Radio Stars

By aardvarchaeology on June 20, 2007.

You listen to a podcast that you like for months and years and you start feeling like you know the people on the show a little. Their voices are certainly familiar and you know a bit about their personalities. And so you start to wonder what they look like. At least I did. So by various means I've located pix of the people behind my favourite podcasts. Check them out! These guys rule my mp3 player and they should be on yours as well.

The R.U. Sirius show: R.U. Sirius, Jeff Diehl, Diana Brown, Steve Robles.

Escape Pod: Steve Eley, Jonathon Sullivan.

Skepticality: Swoopy, Derek.

Digital Planet: Bill Thompson, Gareth Mitchell.

The Seanachai: Parick Maclean.

Anybody got better pix of Sullivan, Robles and Maclean? Dear Reader, are you at this moment perchance Sullivan, Robles and/or Maclean?

BTW, guess what happens if you search for my surname on Flickr.

We couldn't find any photos matching rundkvist.
Did you mean randiest?

Update same day: Says Diana Brown (appending this portrait photo where she looks really delectable and I ain't sharing it with you guys, so there), "Thank you for your very kind mention of our work on Aardvarchaeology. Your blog rules! Thanks for listening."

Great Science Fiction Podcast

I've been a devotee of Escape Pod, the weekly science-fiction short-story podcast, for 2.5 years now. Its audience has grown and grown and grown until Escape Pod is now the world's second-largest paying market for sf short fiction regardless of medium. It's second only to Analog! Steve Eley, who…

R.U. Sirius Show Turns 100

Another one of my favourite podcasts hits 100 instalments: the R.U. Sirius show. It's cyber-counterculture talk radio with ample references to sex, drugs and rock'n'roll, but done in a geeky, distinctly literate manner. R.U. Sirius himself used to be the editor of seminal cyber-mag Mondo 2000 back…

The Future is Written in Fat-Bellied Red Across Every Morning Sky

Escape Pod episode #235 has been sitting on my smartphone since January because of its beautiful writing and archaeological theme. Jay Lake's 2009 story "On the Human Plan" is told in a gentleman-rogue style reminiscent of Leiber and Vance, and is set in a far future Dying Earth environment with…

Let's Find Some Good Podcasts

[More blog entries about podcasting; podcasting, webbradio.] I've been laid low all day with a cold. To entertain myself while unable to read, I've listened to podcasts, and when I ran out of shows I subscribe to I started checking out Podcast Alley's top-10. Unfortunately, most people being morons…

Swedish man gets benefits for Black Sabbath addiction

Hi Doc: You would probably appreciate the work of Joe Lapsley, PK (preacher's kid),former Memphis punk (Neighborhood Texture Jam), now Chicago folkie, doing a History PhD (dis on heterosexuality in 1960s America, huh, I tole him, I didn't know that was an isssue), a real philosopher and "lefty, liberal, skeptic" dude.
And in the interests of not mangling your obscure language like I butcher English and Spanish, your comment on your service provider has finally inspired me to learn where the freakin international character set is!

Thanks Mary! Joe Lapsley goes straight onto my P2P client's search list.

Look!

It's my face on this blog! :)

Thanks for the mention man... really...

Aard Is Moving

October 16, 2017

As I learned a few hours ago, and as a few other Sb bloggers have already announced, Scienceblogs.com will shut down at the end of this month. I'm going to move Aard and continue my blogging, but I haven't figured out where to move it yet. Suggestions from you, Dear Reader, are most welcome. It…

Good Recent Swedish Popular History

October 11, 2017

I don't read much in Swedish. On a whim I decided to check what recent Swedish books I've read and liked outside work. Turns out they're all popular history. Alla rekommenderas varmt för den som delar mina intressen! Kring Hammarby sjö. 1. Tiden före Hammarbyleden. Hans Björkman 2016. Local…

October Pieces Of My Mind #1

October 10, 2017

Medieval account books were so common in Germany and considered to be so worthless, that into the early 19th century they were used as fuel to heat certain archives. Got nominated to the municipal council. Not likely to be high on the list, but still, feels good to be considered useful. I was…

September Pieces Of My Mind #3

October 5, 2017

Ben Aaronovitch = Benjamin Aaronson wrote The Rivers of London. I wonder if it's a pen name for my grandpa's grandpa Aaron Benjaminson, who was a farmer in Tanum. Two students are trying to play verbal chess while digging. The board is in their heads. "Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy…

Jes Wienberg Shot Down My Habilitation

October 3, 2017

Habilitation, docentur, is a symbolic upgrade to your PhD found in Scandinavia and other countries with a strong element of German academic traditions. You can think of it as a boy-scout badge. It confers no salary, but it opens certain doors including that of supervising doctoral candidates.…
