It's finally available. The first solo BradCast. It's dull! It's boring! It's not worth listening to! You don't care, though, do you? You're going to listen to it anyway. And you'll be embarrassed for me.

It weighs in at about 6.2MB and is 12 minutes 49 seconds.

Today was Saturday Nevadurday #3. This gave me a good excuse to podcast. With my lame cold this last week I haven't felt like doing it, but now here it is!

Some of the exciting things that you will hear about during this podcast include the greatest joke ever told (today, by me and/or Mike), eating Awful-Awful's at The Nugget, Emilie's baby shower and the Nevada Flag Cam. As promised, the following picture is a supplement to the podcast. Since Emilie argued about the validity of the space, I have placed red arrows that point to the lines. This should eliminate all doubt.

Not mentioned in the podcast: who really invented the Awful-Awful? Both The Nugget downtown and John Ascuaga's Nugget in Sparks have an Awful-Awful on their menu. (They also both use "Last Chance Joe" as their mascot, but that's another topic for another day.) I noticed that the "Reno Nugget" claims to have had the Awful-Awful on their menu for 35 years. John Ascuaga's Nugget shows on one of their menus that the Awful-Awful has been "Served at the Nugget for almost five decades!" So who can truly claim the Awful-Awful? This question begs more research. The funny thing is that they aren't even the same burger. So why the same name?

In my never-ending quest to be just like Richard, I am introducing the BradCarpenter.com podcast!

My first podcast is a joint effort between Mike and I. It's a sloppy mess, but it leaves lots of room for improvement! It is 20 minutes and 36 seconds long and is around 9.5MB.

The focus is primarily on Mike's FFNV (Fight for Nevada) efforts. After conference we made a night trek to the Prospector and to Nevada Historical Marker #218 - Geiger Station (Magnolia House). Be sure that Mike will post our pictures on the FFNV blog.

To conclude the evening we had a soda tasting of the Halloween flavors that Jones Soda has made available at Target. The flavors tested were Candy Corn and Caramel Apple. To get an idea about the flavor, do the following:

• Close your eyes
• Tilt your head back slightly
• Let your thoughts flow from your mind
• Imagine the worst that you think the soda might taste

My to do list includes adding podcast links on the sidebar for subscription and search functions. In the meantime, podcasts will appear as part of the RSS feed (http://bradcarpenter.com/blog/index.rdf). This may change. More to come...

Anyway, here is the podcast.
