What Do Big Names Owe Me

August 14, 2020 17:12 - 15 minutes - 15.5 MB

I ask a good number of big name people to come on the other show, Play Comics. Most of them get back to me. But do they owe me anything? And how is that effected by living in a world where the internet can quickly change the popular opinion of someone who's livelihood depends on people liking their work enough to pay money for it?

Lunch Breaks

August 09, 2020 17:29 - 6 minutes - 6.88 MB

Lunch break is a sacred thing. Why do people insist on talking to me during my lunch break? I'm about ready to start going out to eat again every day just to get away from this. Intro from Dreamland by Splyt. Used with permission. Outro from Undead Mess by Splyt. Used with permission.

Wrong Numbers

August 02, 2020 17:53 - 7 minutes - 7.99 MB

I love wrong numbers. Not really, because when they happen at work it's almost always because someone thinks they got a call from me and they're calling back to see why I'm calling them. But why? This makes no sense to me at all. Does it make any sense to you? And why don't they believe me when I say who I am? It's all just weird. Intro from Dreamland by Splyt. Used with permission.

Reply All IS A THING YOU SHOULD USE!

July 22, 2020 00:06 - 5 minutes - 6.77 MB

I'm old. So old that in school we were taught how to use email. Yeah, I'm ancient. So anyway, they actually taught us in school to never ever ever use Reply All and it bugs the mess out of me because there are times where i's the proper move. So yeah, I'm a cranky old man and Cranky Kong is my role model/life goal. Intro from Dreamland by Splyt. Used with permission. Outro from Undead Mess by Splyt. Used with permission.

Creating to Fight the Brain Weasels

July 12, 2020 14:33 - 6 minutes - 7.38 MB

If you're creating something then you have an audience. They listen to you for a reason. And I hope that in these crazy times you're keeping your creating habits going because your audience wants to hear from you. Or see what you're doing. That part all depends on what kind of stuff you're creating. Intro from Dreamland by Splyt. Used with permission. Outro from Undead Mess by Splyt. Used with permission.

Never Coming On The Show List

June 28, 2020 22:41 - 18 minutes - 19 MB

Earlier today someone pretty much cemented their place on the list of people who will never come on Play Comics. Right now there are 3 people on the list. A person who decided to just not pay his artist for a Kickstarter comic and to not send out physical things to backers A pair of people who kept not getting back to me, and then wanted me to drop everything to record an episode to time out well with something they were releasing So what does it take to get on this list for me? What kind ...

Scottye Moore, Future World Record Holder?

June 21, 2020 18:55 - 52 minutes - 54.9 MB

Sometimes people just go crazy and decide they want to be on more podcasts than me. Which is fine, I don't hold grudges. Scottye Moore is one of those people. Seriously, the dude is trying to be on the most podcasts in a single year. Like EVER. And that's just insane. Listen in as two people who have literally never talked to each other before in their entire lives outside of Twitter messages sound like they've been friends for a long time. If you want to hear more from Scottye then check o...

A Chat with Eric Henderson from Splyt, Zeromind and Zerocast

June 14, 2020 21:45 - 42 minutes - 39.8 MB

Sometimes it pays to just ask people to be on the show. Like here, where I asked Eric Henderson (formerly in the bands Splyt and Zeromind and currently making the podcast Zerocast) to come talk about his bands and what he’s been up to, and the weirdness of my relentless quest to find more of the wonderful music that I spent so long trying to find. If you want to check out Splyt’s music then head over to this Reverb Nation page. Don’t look for them on PureVolume, that’ll just make you sad. O...

Putting Yourself Out There

May 31, 2020 18:47 - 8 minutes - 9.25 MB

I’ve spend the past few days especially thinking about how easy it is for people to find things you’ve said or done and what kind of influence that can have on someone’s life. Especially when it’s something done 10 or 15 or 20 years ago. Which is kind of a round about way of saying that next week I’ll be recording with Eric Henderson, former vocalist of Splyt from Splyt From the Internet fame and currently from Zerocast. Expect to be able to hear that in a few weeks, maybe even next week if...

Crazy Podcast Sponsors

May 25, 2020 14:16 - 11 minutes - 12.3 MB

Let's take a bit of a detour into the crazy world of podcast sponsorship. I got an email from someone asking about being a sponsor on one of my other podcasts, Play Comics, and if you're in the podcasting world you probably know pretty much exactly what it said. But you should listen to this episode anyway. If you're not in this world, take this as a look behind the curtain. If you want to have me contact these people, leave a comment here or send an email to caffeineandspite@ninjapenguinpo...

What's Going To Be Different?

May 03, 2020 23:20 - 10 minutes - 12.1 MB

Chris gets all philosophical while getting a haircut. Don't worry, it was at home. But when all this is over, how are things going to be changed forever? And can companies really take back some of the changes that they've made?

Splyt From the Internet

April 27, 2020 02:03 - 17 minutes - 18.6 MB

You know how some things just disappear on the internet? Yeah, it sucks. Despite what everyone has told you it seems that sometimes stuff can just disappear forever. Like this band Splyt that I found a few songs from on the old Pure Volume site. Two songs, many years, zero answers. And that sucks because I want to hear more.

Andrew Is a Dirty Enabler

April 05, 2020 15:50 - 8 minutes - 9.68 MB

A bit on how Chris got into comics, what his self inflicted rules were for what he was allowed to buy, and how his stupid friend Andrew threw all those rules out the window because of stupid reasons like "This series is so good" and "I know you're going to love it" and things like that. Andrew Young from 4 Panel and Literary Loitering, you're a dirty enabler!
