This week the gang returns - Brian Hogg (dotBoom), Stephen McCandless (CautionZero), Julie Daman and Sarah Atwood (Nontourage) talk about their shared travails in the independent production of serialized narratives for (teh) interwebs and the dream of Independent Television. This week: 1) Nontourage vs. "weather" at SXSW, 2) the gang discusses recent news regarding SAG, AFTRA and the Interweb, 3) Brian explores the post-production process at CautionZero - not having learned his lesson last week, 4) SEO (and related acronyms) vs. the independent producer, 5) we discuss how much we love zeFrank, 6) and then shows we like - Nontourage picks Noodle Scar (www.noodlescar.com) and Mr. Deity (www.mrdeity.com), Stephen likes (www.makingfiends.com) and (www.theburg.tv) (pausing briefly as Stephen expresses a beautiful dream that Julie sets on fire), ending with Brian's (www.inkisit.com), 7) and we're out with a last flurry of confusion. Thanks so much for listening.

This week Brian Hogg (dotBoom) joins Stephen McCandless (CautionZero) along with Julie Daman and Sarah Atwood (Nontourage) to make a hash of the weeks news while inadvertently affording you, gentle listener, some small insight into the neuroses that drive these creative types. Their shared dream: to be producers of Independent Television. The weeks fodder: 1) Nontourage travels to SXSW, 2) Mr. dotBoom discusses the difficulty of being Canadian (again), 3) Stephen attempts to make the post-production process interesting (there's a reason people don't talk about it), 4) the "cockroach business model" of the Independent Producer, 5) Sarah defends the coming fracturing of popular culture, 6) then there's a long digression about how much of Hollywood should be burned down - I think, on reflection, I lose this one, 7) Brian knows a great deal about online puppets, 8] the Twitter infection touches the Nontourage clan, 9) we attempt to nail down just how much clothing women should lounge around in (really), and 10) Brian becomes defensive one last time - double-phew!

This week Boat to the Moon irregular Sarah Atwood joins Stephen McCandless and Julie Daman in a discussion of recent news impacting independent producers as they try to figure out how to sustain independent, scripted serialized shows - otherwise known as Independent Television. This week we observe: 1) a memoriam on further Apple TV speculation, 2) IFC-distributed films up for sale on iTunes, the Oscars removing unauthorized online clips, 3) while The Colbert Report and The Daily Show do not, 4) Joost! aka streaming TV over the internet, 5) we talk about trying to sell scripted serials - cash up front please, 6) HDNET to the rescue?, 7) zero-day or day-and-date releases and independent production, 8) "What the Funny?" wrap party rumors, 9) using CustomFlix to produce on-demand DVD-Rs, 10) pro and con of DVD-Rs vs. DVD-5 or DVD-9, 11) HD adoption rates in America lags behind, 12) RIAA continues to spew nonsense in reference to Job's "Thoughts on Music", 13) dotBoom on BitTorrent!, 14) and we round it out with DRM / Vista tirades - phew!
