Retrospace Podcast Roundup

In case some of you are latecomers to the existential experience that is the Retrospace Podcast, I thought I'd consolidate all episodes 1-17 in a single post. Download them all, or just listen to them while you pretend to look busy at work.

I must say, I've been been pleased with the gradual increase in listeners to the podcast. Thousands have downloaded episodes, and tens of thousands have played them (although, only a hundred or so subscribers). So, give a few a try - they're only about fifteen minutes each. Enjoy!

Download Podcast 1

I will apologize up front for 2 of these early podcasts (I can't remember which) where I try to play DJ and introduce the tracks. Ugh. Casey Kasem I am not. I sound like a cheap Caucasian imitation of Venus Flytrap... it's not pretty. I'm only including them in this compilation because I do actually like the episodes, in spite of the awful talking bits.

Also, if you want the track listing for some of these, you'll need to click the podcast banner in the sidebar. That'll lead you to the full posts for each podcast episode. Also note that I've included the artwork (if that's what you'd call it) from the original posts. For instance, the next image is from the Podcast 2 post...

Yes, I know. There's no episode ten. That's because that was a Trivia Newton John episode, and probably not very re-listenable.

Retrospace Podcast #18

Look what I picked up at the yard sale down the street: episode 18 of the Retrospace Podcast. What a find! It was underneath a broken Mr. Microphone and behind a Harvest Yellow rotary phone. It pays to be thorough - this is going to go for big bucks on ebay. Sure, it isn't exactly in mint condition, but it still sounds quite good. Take a listen.

Please note: This episode does contain harsh language.

Track List
Barry White radio spot
"Magnum Force" by J. Cameron
Drive-In commercial
Fat Albert theme
"Hello, I Love You" by The Lettermen
Casey Kasem is pissed
The Bob Newhart Show theme
Star Wars radio promo
"Nothin' to Hide" by Spirit
Redd Foxx "Confucious Say..."
"LA Express' by Ray Davies

Also, I've uploaded this podcast to another storage location (retrospace.biz) instead of the usual Rapidshare. Apparently, the Android phones sometimes have difficulty streaming and even downloading from "unverified" sources like Rapidshare. Let's see if this works better.

Retrospace Podcast #16

Time to take in the savory sounds of another Retrospace Podcast. This level of sonic splendor cannot be recreated in the lab; many scientists have tried and failed. It is a miracle of Nature. The Retrospace Podcast is the serendipitous result of unexplained cosmic irradiation of a Foghat record steeped in the ectoplasmic bongwater of the ghost of Boz Scaggs, who, ironically, is still alive.

Indeed, I have the solution to the global energy crisis: at 95 degrees Celsius this podcast turns into liquid energy. A single Retrospace Podcast, when heated, can power a city the size of Tupelo. We're still working out the kinks, though (for one, at high temperatures the podcast becomes unstable and can cause brain damage in pets). So, until this podcast becomes a worldwide commodity, take a listen to the newest episode.

Retrospace Podcast #15

Take a trip back in time with your Time Lord of Funk, Gilligan. I've got a T.A.R.D.I.S. with shag carpet and beaded curtains (and it smells vaguely of "sage"). But don't be afraid, in 15 minutes it'll all be over - of course, there may be flashbacks and memory loss, but it's only been demonstrated in mice. And you may notice some excessive sweating and experience some mild night terrors, but nothing permanent. In fact, there's only been one instance of someone actually exploding by listening to this podcast, but the Retrospace Legal Defense Team feels he had a pre-existing condition.

Enjoy!

Retrospace Podcast #14

Treat yourself to another life changing edition of the Retrospace Podcast. But I must warn you: limit yourself to 4 - 5 listens per day. Otherwise, your brain will grow tolerant to its drug-like magic, and you will need more and more. Eventually, you will be unable to function in society. Sadly, we've had several cases of addicts who had to be "put down". It wasn't pretty.

All things in moderation. Enjoy.

It's hard to believe all this vintage goodness is packed into 19 minutes, but it's true. The Retrospace Podcast is a surreal travel through the space time continuum, which bounces effortlessly from Sanford & Son to Phantasm to Schoolhouse Rock. It's a cosmic journey of decades past, and you are the space cowboy. Giddyup!

Notes:

The Ohio Players are easily the funkiest of all the funk bands to come out of the seventies..... that includes Parliament. Outkast are the modern day torch carriers of the flame lit by The Ohio Players. I had to drastically cut the last ten minutes or so of the song.... it goes into a funk explosion that gets monotonous if you're not high or grooving in your waterbed.

"Theme One" by The Fifth Beatle is an utterly brilliant instrumental. Blends in perfectly with Strawberry Fields and Magical Mystery Tour.

The Primitives basically only scored one hit with "Crash", which has been covered several times since and was an international success. They basically dropped off the map by their next album in 1989, and were officially DOA by 1991. However, their first LP has loads of good stuff, and "Spacehead" is certainly one of them.

I love 70s and 80s gameshow themes. There were all so peppy and zippy with lots of moog action. My favorite is Card Sharks, but Tic Tac Dough runs a close second.

Retrospace Podcast #6: Another Christmas Episode

I'll level with you guys.... my podcasts have gotten nothing but bad reviews. Some have taken the high road and offered constructive criticism; while others have simply said "it sucked". Not a lot of positive feedback coming my way, folks.

The stats aren't too bad: each podcast has gotten about 300 downloads and a few thousand clicks of the play button. However, there's a paltry 30 or so actual subscribers.... and, as I just said, the feedback has been awful.

I'll be honest, I'm not quite sure why. I've actually listened to my own podcasts repeatedly and loved them. I realize I don't talk much on them, but Retrospace is where I let my voice loose, not a podcast. There's tons of clips and soundbites that I find plenty entertaining. What gives?

Answer: I don't care. I don't get paid to run Retrospace. It's 100% a labor of love, and I happen to enjoy putting these short little podcasts together. And, frankly, when Retrospace started back in 2008 there wasn't a whole lot of positive feedback then either. I just kept doing what I loved and kept trying to improve. In the end, it found a pretty significant audience.

In the end, it's all for fun. If it catches on, good. If not, oh well, it was fun anyway. I certainly do appreciate input, positive or negative. If even a few of you out there get as much enjoyment listening to it as I did making it, it will have been worthwhile. Merry Christmas.

Retrospace Podcast #3

So far you have only read my words, now it's time to hear them: At last, Gilligan speaks!

Seriously, I interjected here and there on this podcast... but don't worry, it's still mostly music and a bunch of fun clips. Many of you have commented and emailed me with suggestions to get a mike and talk a bit. So, I listened and gave it a try. I'm no Casey Kasem (or even Shadow Stevens), but we all start somewhere. It's probably a tad early to quit my day job.

A word of warning: The first segment with my voice is waaaay too low; you can't hear me too well. I'm learning as I go, and way too lazy to go back and re-record things. Maybe when someone pays me to do this, I'll take time to polish things up. Until then, I'm wingin' it!

Hell, yes. I had so much fun making the last one, I couldn't wait to make another. I've taken the few constructive criticisms I've received seriously, and the next podcast should also contain words from yours truly. Nonetheless, this one's still worth a listen Suffice it to say, it contains the intro to The Six Million Dollar Man and ends with the Card Sharks theme song. Need I say more?

I really need some feedback on these. Are you having any difficulty subscribing, downloading, or streaming the feed? Is the podcast too long or short? Would the podcast be improved by the inclusion of my jibba jabba? I look forward to hearing your opinions.
