The Mikie Show

Onward!

November 29, 2013

Upward and Onward Against the Wind to The Heights!

See why I just shortened that to “Onward.” It’s longish the other way. Yup, everything always gets shortened these days. Kind of a bit.ly life, no?

So, not wanting to be left behind, we’ve just shortened an hour to a half-hour! I know, ur thinking: Holy cow that’s awesome!

But what does one do with that extra half-hour? Well, how about you click the tallest phrase in this post and climb that hilly spot of free-time-well-spent: the newest episode of The Mikie Show! Go ahead, you’ve got the time!

Holidays!

November 25, 2013

Happy Thanksgiving! Even to the turkeys! Okay, not so happy for the turkeys but the taters don’t care a bit, neither do the peas! And I’ve never heard an onion complain, not once! (I did have an issue with a tomato once but I’ve chosen to let that go)

What say you, shall we have a jolly good feast?

Aye, good choice!

Stories In Our Music

November 06, 2013

Yes, who knew? There are stories behind some of the music you hear on the show. Mostly it involves the soundscape that follows each interview. In general, it’s more fun to make up your own tale but, for example, here’s the thought behind the soundscape in Episode 65, Paul (it’s titled Models): Imagine somewhere in the Galaxy that two solar systems with highly intelligent life are near to each other. They made contact a thousand years ago and are easily 10,000 years ahead of us. Still, a detective has been assigned to go undercover on that neighboring world looking for a suspect; and her technology allows her to change her appearance and her environment. No word on the outcome, though.

Just something to ponder while listening. Thanks as always for your support!

Plaster Found Inside Venus!

October 24, 2013

Yes, scientists have just reconfirmed the astonishing data from a new probe orbiting planet Venus: there’s plaster everywhere just under the surface. That’s crazy!

That’s so not true. Even that picture on the left is wrong, I think it’s actually something venous.

But here’s something that’s totally so true: there’s a new episode of The Mikie Show orbiting the internet! Now all you need to know is waiting for you up there! Just click the second sentence of this post and blast off to the finest in top-notch entertainment!

Vexillology Part 2

September 24, 2013

Just thought we’d give an update on the wonderful support we’ve had from listeners across the globe. What you see to the left are the flags of the sixty-four countries where folks have subscribed to or downloaded our show. (note: they’re not alphabetical so it’s more fun to guess who and also, we only know country of origin, like: someone subscribed in Germany, but we never know who or what town. In the USA we know what State but that’s it).

All the continents save Antarctica are there! Hello, Antarctica, anybody there? Ice Stations? Mr. The Thing? Come on, you can do it!

Thanks so much to all!
