Pig in the City: Oct 7, 2007; That'll do, pig. That'll do.

Hey guys,

This is a show I do that's on its 18th episode and I'd love some feedback on.

It's called Historians of Time and is available here:

(I'll do a link dump then go into content)

It's a weekly comedy show in which we go through the Wikipedia "This Day In History" for an entire week and improvise around what really happened and such - it's a chat format between me and my co-host Nick.

The show has been going really well for a while now - it was pushed by Justin McElroy from MBMBAM which gave it a massive boost and since then has a few times snuck into the Australian Comedy Audio Podcast Top 20 (which is one too many modifiers to actually be impressive)

I'd love some feedback and am open to discussion on what's good and what's bad.
Perhaps a strong episodes to start on would be around the 14-16 mark but anywhere is fine.

The sound quality starts terrible but is all good in the new episodes.

Thanks y'all.

Historians of Time Episode 23: Exploding Horse!

Nick takes over hosting for an episode and it becomes a loving shambles but probably the most fun I've had recording one.

Image attached was made by a fan from an earlier episode - and I like it so here it is.

Historians of Time Episode 25

I'm back hosting this week and I honestly think it's one of our best episodes yet - so if you're waiting for a good one to give it a shot I recommend this one. I've built it up too much though so what do I know.

Historians of Time Episode 29: Battle of the Sound.

I think this is a pretty good one so I wanted to share it here.

Nick and I go through Wikipedia's This Week In History and lie about how things happened, basically.

This is perhaps our best one yet. I'm not very sick during it for once and I think it turns out really well.

Numbers have slowed a bit so I was wondering if anyone had advice on tapping into a new audience? I worry just wearing out people on my facebook feed.

Historians of Time

Nick put together a bit of a teaser to try and get people interested in the show. We're going to bring out more and more from old clips as per this thread's suggestion. Here's the first!

And the actual thing

Episode 34

This one is a bit of a return to form after a couple that I felt were lacking so I didn't post them here.

Historians of Time Episode 36

We're back. Hooray!

You can listen to this if you'd like to listen to it.
I think it's a fairly strong episode. We start on Guiness having a 9000 year lease, so we had a leg up.

Genre: Political commentary/opinion
Released: Usually bi-weekly on average, sometimes weekly and sometimes once a month
Goon: VH4Ever
Description: Basically The Edge Of Chaos is a podcast with me and my hardcore Randian libertarian Ron Paul supporting friend from high school (I am a former libertarian and current Progressive liberal) debating various current events, political and economic theory, or anything else that's interesting in the political sphere. In this episode we discuss the possible failure of macro-collectivism as well as the ongoing Fiscal Cliff mess in Washington.

NOTE: I got lazy and have not posted an episode or two but the RSS link above should reflect those episodes too.

This sounds like just what I want to listen to. Got an episode recommendation for newbies?

Historians of Time
Episode 38

Another episode in the hole. We had some recording trouble so had to record two entirely different episodes. What came out was a pretty good episode, I hope.

For anyone unfamiliar - it's Wikipedia's 'This Week in History' improvised around what actually happened.

Historians of Time Episode 39 contains this fact:

1897 � Elva Zona Heaster is found dead in Greenbrier County, West Virginia. The resulting murder trial of her husband is perhaps the only case in United States history where the alleged testimony of a ghost helped secure a conviction.

So, you should probably listen to it.
