Come with Ben Pobjie and Cam Smith on another THRILLING installment of Gather Around Me, when we find out what happens when you reject the State and attempt to, like Fleetwood Mac - both the band and the Rock & Roll Detective - go your own way. There are so many ways to listen to this that it is NOT FUNNY. Just it is not funny the number of ways, I mean. The podcast itself, no matter which delivery system you employ, does remain somewhat funny. ONE. But Ben and Cam! I don't have iTunes? You don't have iTunes! It is 2012. I don't have a Mac because I like to be able to right click on things and so it was all a bit of trouble to put it on and WinAmp does me just fine plus it has cool visualisations involving llamas.

Episode 37 in a series of 1000 sexcasts from your sexy friends Ben Pobjie and Cam Smith. In this episode, we ruminate on crimes committed just prior to the recording of the podcast and also about the Liberal Party campaign launch, which was also quite recent at time of recording. Also, what would be a better theme for the news AND what actually happens at the end of Cujo? There is election fatigue by the bucketload. [Some have wondered about the delightful synth noises scattered throughout - these are not incoming emails or other such technological delights, but CENSORSHIPS of alleged crimes allegedly committed. Far more pleasant a tone than a BLEEP, yes?] |

Hello! Cam here. Normally I listen to these before I put them up, but not today, because I am busy. This has not been edited AT ALL. That does not make a huge difference, I suppose, but I am just letting you know that if you have friends who appreciate a verité podchat, you may want to let them know about this.
