Mutually Assured Distribution
I chanced to peek at the access stats on the webserver last night. I’m astonished and grateful — thank you all! I feel like I’m on a rocketship to Mars. Not the boring, humdrum, dusty old Mars that NASA keeps pretending to see with its ‘robots,’ either. I’m talking Warlord of Barsoom, here.
All this success, however, breeds emnity. To wit: Kenneth Newquist of Nuketown is trying to steal my life.
Compare the facts: I’m quitting my job of seven years. He quit his job of seven years. I’ve got a role playing ‘cast. He’s got a ‘cast of which role playing is certainly a part. I’m a voracious and critical reader of science fiction. He eats babies. You must agree, it’s like looking into a mirror!
No matter that he’s getting all this stuff done first; he’s obviously following in my retroactive footsteps. Dare I beg? I need your help.
Innundate him with copious postings, burden his soul with popularity, and drive him through the brink of madness and beyond through your constant attention. Make him blink first! Oh, certainly he gave Dice Make Bonk a kind word of his own, but it’s a trap! That kind of reverse psychology is a blatant, transparent ploy, and I think you’re smarter than that.
The alternative, my friends, is competition for your kind attentions in that hallowed 21st century marketplace of ideas: the Intarspherocastnetblogpodowebtrix. I’m sure I can count on you. Don’t let him consume my soul!

heh — and I even have the obligatory goatee…
I’ve actually had a chance to listen to a bunch of shows now, and I think you guys are doing a great job — good banter, good topics, and just long enough for me to listen to most of a podcast during my walk to and from work.
I look forward to listening to more (which I’ll be doing first thing tomorrow, as I see that the Oct. 1 show just showed up in iTunes…)

[...] That lubber Ken Newquist has sent over another salvo of grapeshot, trying to burst our bandwidth with his feeble firepower. His first shot at talking about Dice Make Bonk in his own ‘cast, Radio Active, merely bounced off our hull, armored with the bones of our enemies as it is. So what’s he done now? Why, he’s decided against all sense to come back for more with an unprecidented second review! [...]
