Bravo! Congratulations on your first year, your professionalism, your wit, your erudition, your musicality, and especially congratulations for the fact that when you get a cold your voice goes deeper instead of sounding like Alvin the Chipmunk. Well done, sir!
PS - I love the contrast between the on-air Soccergirl-Geo lovefest and the "off"-air admonitions. Well, maybe "love" isn't the term. I'm *impressed* by the degree to which this contrast yanks my emotions, even while making me laugh. Just shows I'm big, big slut for happy endings, I guess.

Bravolingus on the first anniversary, even if it is a TAD early based on the true start date...14-Feb-2007 with \"Bodies, The Exhibit\".
As for being the newbie, there are some that put most of the current spate of casters in your camp. TAL, ThisLife.ORG, is producing episode 326 this weekend, and there were quite a few replays thoughout the broadcast. Of course, Ira and Co. got their start on NPR, BEFORE podcasts were on the air, and they got on the casting circuit as soon as it was. Their archives begin Nov 1995. They also have Video now. Maybe you will grow into that media, given time...it is still a monumental achievement, a year of regular quality podcasts behind you.
Keep flyin\' and doin\' good works!

@ Dave,
Not just walnuts, PICKLED walnuts.
I don\'t know if this makes them better or worse.
For the record, the \"food porn\" I was referring to was very certainly for the Fortnum & Mason Hamper. Upon listening to the entire show, I realized that there was actual porn mentioned and someone new to the forums might be confused.

@Carrie
Better or worse? I think that\'s open to interpretation :) I mean the British sure know how to make a pot of tea, but to be honest I never really understood the whole cold pork pie thing. Or kippers now that I mention it.
Still, you can\'t knock a country that gave us Monty Python and Douglas Adams.

I was hoping to hear the religious moron I\'d submitted, but that\'s cool. I\'ve been involved in the podcasting community long enough not to take things personally.
It still would\'ve been cool to hear your reaction to the China banning reincarnation thing though.

You know everyone here is always like \"Geo you\'re so great\", \"Geo your a frickin genius\", blah blah blah. I just want to be the first one to say CarrieP you\'re da bomb!
And congrats Ms. Information for putting up with Geo for 52 episodes. You\'re the greatest. He\'s good and all but we all know who the real talent behind this show is. ;)

Thixen-
You have NO idea how explosive Carrie actually is. To call her Da Bomb is an insult to thermo-nuclear weaponry.
She\'s beyond cool...
And as for Ms.Info... well...
BOOM.
She IS the real talent behind the pate.
Thanks ladies- and thanks to Thixen for shoutin\' out.

Oh, I stand corrected. TAL has been rerunning previous eps for a bit now, their latest being casted was #326, but they casted #347 in mid-January. #326 was actually produced in mid-February 2007, so you can see how often they rerun previous eps. Like yours, each ep is of merit autonomously. And, I look forward to downloading 52.1. ;-D
As an aside, Ms Information just blogged about George\'s video for The Assumption:

It\'s so damn cool that it actually took me a few minutest to try and think of a way of expressing the degree of it\'s coolness without resorting to the gratuitous use of the work \"fuck\". (Which I just did anyway, so I don\'t know why I bothered)

@ Dave,
Your sentence was coherent, just not 100% grammatical, so no worries there.
@Cornelius,
I\'m glad I was not the only one who was like, \"Emily R? WTF? Who is Emily R?\" But it\'s not Soccergirl\'s real name, I can tell ya that.
I\'m going to try to put it out of my mind, truly, because I just have a feeling that, this one, we\'ll never really know.

@ George,
That is one of the best compliments I\'ve ever received. Thank you. I\'m printing out a copy for my \"ego file,\" For days when I don\'t feel as kick-ass. It\'s going right next to my letter to the editor in the NY Times Magazine.
@ Dan,
You should also ask over at the JREF forum for more info. They can clear it up for sure.
There is an option for attending 1-day rather than all days, which is $175 rather than $450. Much more doable, and you get to spend the whole day there...

I know this is late but my iPod has been in the evil clutches of Best Buy. (glad I bought that extended warranty) So, I\'ve had a heck of a time catching up on the shows.
One year! Really spectacular! Good for you! I wish you continued success and many, many more years of podcasting because if you ever quit what will I listen to then?
Keep on Truckin\'

*- \"taint\" not used for Minoishe\'s ridicule... just due to liking using the word, albiet incorrectly. Long live David Cross!

Happy Anniversary, favourite podcast of mine (yes, I\'m a bit behind in listening... blame my newly born son).
When you have a cold, your voice becomes absolutely deep and sexy... and it makes Louis Armstrong\'s voice sound like chalk on a school board in comparison.
I first found out about George Hrab from the fantastic interview on Skepticality. And while I have stopped listening to that podcast (for various reasons, not important here), I was hooked (or \"hrabbed\"?). I have not regretted it yet.
