This Week in BS, we try to record the show. But as they say, if at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try, try, and try again. We finally get the show done, after several audacity crashes. We spend a lot of time on voting machines, and how your vote is not going where you want it too. Then, we spend too much time on twitter, and talk about how Linux and Microsoft Fails.

TWIBS – 04: School House Rock Please

منذ 16 years

This Week on TWIBS, we serenade your ears with a news segment that only takes half the episode, a true accomplishment if I do say so myself. We then talk to you about the BS in the current education system, and get into oodles of rants. I then ask our listeners to buy me a phone, but now I would like a specific microphone instead. We then take some of your listener mail, or hate mail as the case may be. All this week, in TWIBS.

This week in BS, we begin our third episode, making this the second longest running show on this currently unnamed network. We go over seven gut wrenching, poo brown, news stories, and comment on some of your listener feedback.

Sure we should make as much energy as we can by hydro, solar, thermal, etc… but we are totally ignoring nuclear because it is supposedly too dangerous? Wonder if NJ gets a lot of it’s money for school from nuclear energy? Nice research question for anyone who gets board ;)”…
