It's back on the chain gang, so let's haul in those anchors and set sail with the podcasters of SL...

Podcasting isn't just an English-language thing... Tao Takashi goes back over the year in review.

Trying to follow along, but my Deutsch is, for lack of a better word, kaput.

SL Under the Radar has a great interview with Jane2 McMahon on mentoring.

The Lonely Yak Roadhouse is moving to BlaksleeWorld soon, by the way. The cross-channel look with South Nowhereville is cool.

Blue Hair went through a presentation on visitor counters that I was lucky to attend. If you're not happy with the simple names list counter, check these options out.

PizzaBabe asks what gets you off, spins some tunes, and... well... pretty much everything that earns an explicit tag.

People ask me how I find the time to do all I do. I guess I'm amazed how Jenny finds the time and emotional anchorage to do these.

Blogs Views and Blues covers the Frozen Pea Fund, disconnecting from social media, and spins a track from the Phantom Blues Band.

Here's the Insensitive Snarky Comment Of The Day: "Maybe if more people ate peas instead of just threw out frozen pea images, there'd be less cancer? Diet is a factor, guys."

Anji Bee has a New Years Roundup, both Eve and Day. Good chillout music. Then, some talk about the new Lovespirals CD.

I fired these up on my iPod dock and listened while doing some builds. Good stuff.

Caleb Bullen gets the Black Tie Martini Club pondering the Mediocre Media.

CSIHop... heh.

Audio Gumshoe hangs out with the girls of rock.

Marketing Over Coffee .... let's see what they said... "Some tips for writing provocative and compelling copy, how to best use online calendaring services and how these services differ, and New Year’s resolutions that are important AND achievable."

My new Year's resolution is to actually listen to this podcast instead of just copy-pasting their show notes to make it look like I listened to their podcast.

Electric Politics interviews one of the most deranged Israel-hating authors on the face of the earth: John J. Mearsheimer.

My friend Meryl Yourish, among others, has been rounding up criticisms of Mearsheimer's horrifically flawed arguments for over a year. Despite Quirinal's lapdog approach to interviewing this crackpot, it's good that these people get heard so that their arguments can get soundly obliterated by their more rational and realistic opponents. Also, check the archives of Shire Network News and other conservative podcasters for criticisms sure to set off the moonbat elements of Huffington Post and the Kos Kids.

Quirinal's inability to come up with the large number of nations not just with Islam but Christianity as the official state religion in their constitutions has me wondering if he's an effective interviewer or just a pitching machine in a batting cage for Mearsheimer. No mention of the fact that the PA wants to set up a theocratic Islamic state with anti-Semitic/anti-collaborationalist laws on the books.

The USS Liberty incident is an odd one (it was not deliberate) but not as odd as the State Department's coverup of Arafat's direct involvement in Cleo Noel's murder in Sudan.

And, finally, 100 Word Stories comes out with a 5-hour, 111MB "monstercast" end-of-the-year project from its host called "The Opposite Of A Suicide Note."

I'm sure I missed a few folks. Let me know what I missed and I'll get you added to the roundup.
