First!
I don't own an ipod, ain't gay, but am happy to hear the Frank!

Are podcasts just for pod people?

Both of my sisters took calc 4 and got an A, and one of them did not loose any points throughout the entire course, with a 100% average.

Congrats on being a right wing terrorist/. I am so proud.

love the show. it was very funny

Oh, my side aches!!!! I'm serious, I've been laughing so hard it hurts.

I don't own an IPOD, so thanks for the MP3 link.

It's great to hear what everyone sounds like! Frank sounds different than I'd imagined; he's not quite as psychotic as I'd thought.

Spacemonkey was a big surprise. He can actually speak! (I'd expected just Aah-ahh-ahh ohh-ohh-ohh).

And SarahK really does have a Texan accent!

On the technical side, I found the editing and format, along with the soundtrack to be very professional. Excellent. My only technical issue would be to ask if anyone else found the volume level a bit low? I raised it as high as I could but could barely hear it. This might however be just my system, which is a bit odd.

Thanks, Chris.

Most of us don't have professional equipment for recording, but we may solve that later.

Scott was great at the editing, though.

Yes! A Terro-ist! Is that like a Earth lover?

Which reminds me: the podcast is good, but Bush = Hitler so it's irrelevant. Oh, sorry, what I meant is: check out iPodder if you want a free Podcast receiver.

I gotta agree this was really good! I'm not gay so I don't own an iPod which made me thankful for the mp3 link.

Frank sounds exactly like the guy on the album cover should sound I think.

When SarahK isn't singing she does sound like Texas. Her bit was the funniest I think.

Spacemonkey was really good too. Scott needs to try to pay more attention next time I think.

I also agree about the sound levels. They are low, but it's no problem to turn the volume way up (until someone sends me an IM that is then I almost fall out of my chair from the loudest doorbell EVER).

Overall it is a most excellent first attempt. I hope to see more of these.

This is comic genius. Best podcast ever!

Good stuff there. 2 thumbs up!

It would be less annoying with more SarahK. Some bikermommy might help too.

So EXCELLENT and exceptionally funny, in every way. (((ENCORE--ENCORE)))
I really Loved it. (*,,,*)

Hugely funny! Especially all the drunks doing "Frank Discourse"!
Next week, how about "Frank Intercourse"? Betcha it draws a bigger audience....

I don't own an iPod so thanks for the .mp3 link! I hope you continue with the .mp3 links.

That said, I just listened to the entire podcast. What can I say? Absolutely hilarious! This is the best thing to come out of IMAO since I've been here (a year or two, I lost count somewhere along the way)! I can't wait for the next one!

It's great to put voices with names! FrankJ., well, I've heard his introduction recorded several months/years (?) ago so I recognized the voice. SarahK, what is there to say? She sounds as beautiful as she looks! You're a lucky man FrankJ! Everyone else (Harv, etc) too funny! Ya'll are great! I can't wait to hear RWD, even if he is Mexican.

Favorite quotes - I have two. The first is "I'm FrankJ and now you know what I think so you can think it too!" Absolutely. You know we're all just mindless followers. Glad we have a competent leader. Second - "Kim Jong Ill has poofy hair so we could use that to clean under the rim." Glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read that!

Overall, home run! Best thing to happen to IMAO since SarahK! I look forward to the next podcast (in .mp3 of course)!

Great job FrankJ, and all involved, I loved it!

Chris,

Yeah, me too. I know FrankJ has already addressed this, I just wanted to say I had a hard time hearing at times as well. The volume issue aside, the audio formatting/splicing/editing/whatever you want to call it, was great. It was pretty much seamless. I listen to a lot of audio on the 'net and this came across as very professionally done. Yeah, it had it's glitches here and there, but awesome for a first time.

I, too, liked the podcast. I gaffawed many times. Since Bush=Hitler, I think we should see him in his underware (or even commando). As you can probably tell, I am a pink elephant type guy.

Luv ya,

Rick

Hey, let's organize a Koran Burning across the country!!

lol nice southern accent sarahk

mao mao mao mao.....

somethign tells me frank will be in the doghouse once sarahk hears that bit bout chicks on the moon.

that last bit reminds me of the health video me and some freinds made, we messed up and totally BS'd parts (our teacher fast fowared through the best part...lets jsut say it related to dogs and sexual dysfunction...and the video was about Illeagel drugs...yea but it was related).

random comment:

does anyone notice the likness (at least to my eyes) of frank jand toby mcguire (spiderman)

Don't forget to e-mail the comments link found in the IMAO Podcast... maybe we'll read YOUR comments in the next podcast!

I'm pretty sure Stalin went commando.

loved it, awesome job everyone!
What else, oh yeah, you funnied up my Sunday morning,
Thanks!

Found out about the PodCast at its link Michelle Malkin's Blog.

Very funny stuff, Frank!

I especially liked SarahK's review of Mr. Shiny .45.

The short history of Alabama was also terrific!

And yes, Kim Jung Il's head would make an excellent toilet brush!

Jack.

Worst idea ever. All of that would have been just as funny written in the blog, except Frank Discourse which wasn't funny. It was very public radio. I know that I may be in the minority here but thats how I feel.

Gotta love how some people love anything different.

JoshG, you filthy conservative! Oh, wait...

worst idea ever? worse than communism? the holocaust? that last Batman movie?

Very good...and thanks for the mp3 link--please keep doing that.

A word to the editor, I know you were trying to eliminate some of the noise in some parts, but ya need to tweak your noise gate so it's not so Darth Vader-sounding. Some multi-band compression would even it out and solve your volume issues, too. Waves makes good plugins for Sound Forge if you have that for your editing. Just a suggestion--I liked it overall, lots of funny.

Heh. Liked it. That was fun! And, strangely enough, I found no spelling errors. :) Good work, imao drones.

I own an iPod, am NOT gay, and loved it.

The source audio from the IMAO Bloggers were all 32K MP3 files and therefore all sound sort of tinny. We hoped that would be sufficient for the podcast and would help keep the MP3 file down to a manageable size for those who might have dial-up Internet connections.

In next week's podcast, we'll be using 16-bit PCM for the source audio and then encode the final MP3 as a 96K stereo file. We will consider encoding the IMAO Podcast as a 128K broadcast-quality audio file if people don't mind the large (25MB-40MB) download.

Frank J.-

You got engaged to her. You can't bitch about married women yet.

I think there's a three-year grace period.

Mr. J,

Perhaps a third link, after iPod and Mp3, a dial-up sized "tinny" link. Some don't have broad-band at home, like us in the sticks of New Mexico. And I'm not looking to pay sixty bucks a month to DirecWay for satellite access, even if the DirecWay spokesbabe is hot.

I compressed the 96 kbps mp3 to 24 kbps and SarahK's voice was just as sweet (she shoulda made Idol), and file size was a quarter the original. All dialogue was understandable, as well as the original.

Oh, funny stuff, too! Well produced. Somebody's gonna get a well paying career out of this eventually. More please, worth every penny!

Reese

Outstanding job...
Currently being distributed to those 6 family members who only read my blog after I beg them to hit my pathetic site.

Keep up the good work!

SarahK

Okay perhaps not the worst idea ever. I put it somewhere between disco and Gredo shooting first.

Look I am just some punk kid, but here's my two cents. I can see this ending badly somehow. First more adverts, second pop ups, third and worst of all pay for "premium" content. Not saying that it will, just that I fear it might.

No wait. It wasn't Stalin, it was Tukhachevsky.

Really funny stuff! Loved it!!!

I was wondering...not that I'm insecure...I'm a guy...and I own an IPOD...am I a homo?

Who did Georgo Bush? Great impersonation? Great funny as usual from IMAO! Keep it up! Loved Sarah's bit about her gun!

I see live video in your future...a TV show perhaps...you guys will be huge...HUGE I TELL YOU!!!

Dang - a podcast that's way funnier than mine.

Guess I just have to funny mine up then.

Oh wait, I'm supposed to be semi-serious on Shire Network News.

Maybe I should just capitulate to the greatness that is Frank J and turn my podcast over to him.

Rockin'. What a well-educated woman you keep around too!

Your form doesn't like my de-spaminated email address, so I'll have to use an invalid one. Oops.

What really got to me was that IMAO was pronounced I-M-A-O.

I thought it was I-MAO. Like if Apple made a Chinese Dictator.

I thought it was pretty good. Not quite laugh-until-I-regurgitate good, but pretty good. And no iPod fer me either, even if they came in fuscia! I liked sarahk's unexcited "'yee-ha's", like she was being forced to play the Texas stereotype. At the end though, the accent needs some work - it sounded like "eat underwear Ronny".

I think I heard lightsaber noises in your cracker-ass cracker podcast. George Lucas is gonna sue somebody!

It is almost scary to listen to this. Heresy I say!

Spotted you on the front page of WorldTribune.com today (31 May 05)

Ha! You guys made me laugh. Loved the women on the moon digs. And the Mao Mix song. Look forward to next week. Oh, and you gotta read the I-Mao comment above from Captain Josh next week, that one works.

Play Goldfinger!

When I saw you were doing a podcast, my initial reaction was "sh*t! Just what I need..someone way funnier than me jumping on the bandwagon."

And I was right..that was way funnier than my first two efforts, and far better production values. An outstanding effort on all counts.

Game on :)

Well lets see. Yeah It was kinda funny. I mean in the way that little boys can giggle at themselves and know Moms are laughing at them. I have a few comments. I as a woman had to write them down so as not to forget them.
#1) Did they have dishwashers in 1969?
#2) Complex Math....woman can send a child through a tiny hole how can you math wizards explain this?
#3) Oh Yes Chicks Dig Robotic Hands-Every man should think of getting one. Moms love to feel the hand come alive as it is slowly.....well lets just say moms moan for roboitc hands.

anymore thoughts...nope guess I am going to go get my "hand" and get to what we women refer to as cleaning........;)

If this is the first podcast, when will we get to hear the others?

when they're done.

That was great! Good job everyone.

I have to give one piece of criticism. The book report bit went pretty long and I started zoning out. But...it was a good idea, and the rest of the show was just fan-fucking-tastic!

Please review more guns and other complex mechanical devices, and the Roundtable is genius.

Knowing the editing work that had to go into this, I don't expect you to pump them out once a week, but man...as fast as you can create them you'll have listeners. Good stuff.
