    WhereIF Episode 13: I’m Back, Where Have I Been, Trump & Subpoenas, and Hoover Report!
    Oct 28 2019
    Where Icarus Flies, Episode 13, Don't call it a comeback... WhereIF Episode 13 Contents Episode 13 has been in the works for a long time. Almost ten years! I now know how Meat Loaf must have felt with Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell or Boston with Third Stage. 😊 In any case, it is good to be back in the studio. A lot is going on that needs yet another voice to give social commentary. Well, either that or I just like to hear myself talk! Let's Play Catch-Up There is so much that has happened. Can I cram it all into one little segment? Nope. I won't even try. I will, however, cover the things that stand out to be some of the more significant happenings in the last ten years. I will also give an update on my own life. A nice fireside chat. Trump's New Reality I, of course, cannot start up again without starting with Trump. Just the way he likes it. However, instead of attacking and complaining, which is easy to do, I'd like to take a look at what is happening right now. The impeachment investigation is in full swing, and subpoenas are being issued and ignored. Let's look at what that means with an eye on history and some interesting case law setting precedent. I am no legal scholar, nor do I pretend to be one, but I found some interesting things in my amateur research. Return of The Hoover Report Our old friend, Joey Hoover, is in the house! Where has he been? What has he been up to? We finally get partial answers to these burning questions!! We also find out who he sets his sights on this week with the latest installation of The Hoover Report!

    Sep 17 2010
    WhereIcarus Flies, Episode 12, the last honest podcast... WhereIF Episode 12 Contents Back again! Did you miss me? Did you think I was gone for another 5 months? Well, no such luck!!! Some quick website news. I know that you cannot get enough of my pithy yet thought provoking Twitter musings. So, I have a new section of the website that has archived all of my tweets. The collection is browsable by moth and fully searchable. You may not have asked for it, but you sure got it!!! There is a link on my website or feel free to visit WhereIF's Tweets now. That is all I have to say about that... So now, on to this week's show. Cheating in Sports Cheating and sports go hand-in-hand. Is there a difference, however, between working to get a call and breaking the rules? Derek Jeter, poster boy for wholesome goodness, truth, justice and the American Way is being vilified for overacting in a recent game. He did not get hit by a pitch, but he acted as if he did and got the call. Besides hamming it up WAY to much, is he a cheater? What are some other memorable cheating moments in sports history? We'll take some time to mull it over this week. Big Brother 12 on CBS One of my favorite summer guilty pleasures! I do love this show. This summer's cast could possibly have been the most boring cast in Big Brother history, yet they are not the worst cast ever, in my opinion. What is is whit these reality shows that keep us watching? I spend some time talking about this hit summer show. iTunes Ping Is it a social networking platform, a marketing ploy, a useless idea or the next phase in Apple's media domination? I share my opinions on this new grass roots effort by Apple to become our media control center. I would also love to hear your thoughts on this. The Hoover Report Joey Hoover stops by to give us his thoughts on Derek Jeter, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Nikita on the CW and more! Masterworks Theatre This week is another special MWT. With my budding guitar skills (well, maybe budding is too strong) I give you my version of "The Boxer" by Simon and Garfunkel. Podcast File Info - Episode 12 I used an enhanced version of the podcast (.m4a) as the default version in my RSS Feed and on iTunes. If you have any problems with it, let me know (although if you use iTunes, .m4a is not a problem). I have received feedback that some mobile devices have trouble with the enhanced version (yes, that is you Blackberry). You can still get the .mp3 version from the website.

    WhereIF Episode 11: Being Unemployed, Google’s Lost Mojo, Doctor Who, The Hoover Report and More!
    Aug 28 2010
    Where Icarus Flies, Episode 11, covering topics throughout time and space... WhereIF Episode 11 Contents I have returned! It has been a long hiatus, but Joey and I were back at it this past week. I have missed being on the air very much and Joey has been bursting at the seams waiting to get in front of a microphone once again!!! I never thought it would take this long to get to episode 11! As a wise man once said, "Life is like a box of chocolates. You just never know what you are gonna get." ;-) So let me get right to it and tell you about this week's podcast... What Happened to my Job? I have been out of work for a year. It has taken a steep toll on me, not just financially, but mentally and physically as well. I spend some time this week talking about the toll being unemployed can take on a person. Dealing with the unemployment agency, worrying about paying the bills, being ignored by hiring managers that you interview with. It all adds up. I talk about my own personal experiences. Has Google Lost its Mojo? Google has made blunder after blunder of late. Big mistakes such as backing a private internet to messing up the Google News and Google Image Search interfaces. I send some time talking about why I think that Google had jumped the shark. Doctor Who You had to have noticed the gorgeous red head above! That is actress Karen Gillian who plays Amelia "Amy" Pond a companion to the eleventh incarnation of The Doctor on BBC's Sci-Fi institution Doctor Who. This show has been around for the better part of the last 50 years. The latest incarnation of the show began in 2005. I only started watching it again this past January, just as the eleventh doctor took over. The show this past season has blown me away! It is excellent! I have now seen most of the episodes from 2006-2010 (thank goodness for The Interwebs). If you like Science Fiction and have not watched the current series, you are missing out. Matt Smith, who plays the the good doctor, just me the best Doctor Who ever! (Sorry Tom Baker and David Tennant) The Hoover Report Joey is back in the studio to give us his unique perspective on society, sports, the entertainment world and current events. Masterworks Theatre Masterworks Theatre returns with something a little different. This month I sing and play the guitar. Oh, it is nothing great, I assure you. I only started teaching myself to play at the beginning of the year. I am still very much a hack, but I have fun. Podcast File Info - Episode 11 I used an enhanced version of the podcast (.m4a) as the default version in my RSS Feed and on iTunes. If you have any problems with it, let me know (although if you use iTunes, .m4a is not a problem). I have received feedback that some mobile devices have trouble with the enhanced version (yes, that is you Blackberry). You can still get the .mp3 version from the website.
