TWINE - this week in news and entertainment

TWINE #12

This week:

• TOP STORY: LAWYER GAY (also, Zarqawi dead)
• BCTF rattles the saber
• Olympic Ice follies
• Michelle Wei could cream us both at golf
• We talk a bit about boobies and lovely politicians

Well, we checked the stats and we're up over 1300 downloads.  That's pretty cool and we thank you all.  Please email us at twinecast@gmail.com if you have any complaints, critique, or comments.  We appreciate your thoughts on what we do whether you listen on the bus, at the gym, or in the corner office.

Episode 11

This week, we cover:

• Terrorism arrests and how Canada had it coming
• Ricky Williams
• The shutdown of The Pirate Bay
• Gay Marriage Ban resurfaces
• Oilers fans are a little stupid

No mail this week and we take a moment (or two) during the show to express our jealousy over those really successful podcasts from England and the CBC.

We'd also like to toss this in here.  Maybe we were a little cranky, but we got a little carried away with the language.  Our voice guy even gets in on the act.

We like it and we'd like you to download it.  We'd also like you to tell some friends about it.

Episode 10

 

This week, we dust it up pretty good. Buzz seems to be on some sort of rampage. I think his mood swings dramatically when Stephen Harper is in BC. Here’s the spectrum of what we cover:

• Prime Ministerial visit to BC
• The Conservatives find a $12B surplus
• The Conservatives can’t talk about gay Mounties
• There are plenty of teachers graduating just in time for the BCTF strike vote
• Vancouveris filled with bitchy whiners
• The smoking debate rages on

Wow… we made it to #10. (Just a way to label it. We’re not counting the shows in a Dan Russell/David Berner sort of way.)

We got some listener email that we get into at the start of the show. Thanks to those of you who took the time to write in.

Episode 9

This week we cover

• Women dying at war
• Da Vinci stuff, cause everyone else is doing it too
• Young girl being kidnapped by douchebag who deserves prison rape (ed. RK)
• Some current Tom Hanks movie (not Turner & Hooch)
• etc.

Please enjoy and feel free to comment at twinecast@gmail.com  We're trying to find a way to include our (limited) audience in the podcast.

Have fun and tell other people about it!  WE think it's pretty good.

Episode 6.1

It's the re-podcast of the ill-fated prior podcast.

We talk about:
- How great Stephen Harper is for Canada.
- How we have to move to a two-tier hospital system if we want things to change
- How great a movie Rocket is.

By the way... it's Roger updating the podcast this week.  I hope it works.  If not, send your hate mail to Buzz c/o his show.

Enjoy, tell a friend, and share our effort.  Also, please post comments so we can improve the podcast.
