Tonight we unveil our newest creation: Black Heart Gold Podcast, wherein we get together once a week to make the same jokes we make in print, only now they're recorded so you can hear our voices! Well, at least some of our voices; for episode one, Oops Pow Surprise joins the festivities from a cellphone while serving time in an underwater Turkish prison.
This week, we discuss all the burning questions, from DJK to EPIC GREENWOOD to the defensive line, with esteemed sportswriter/blogger Marc Morehouse. For those of you who have been living under a rock, Marc covers the Hawkeyes for the Cedar Rapids Gazette. He's also the writer of the only Iowa-centric blog that changes URLs more frequently than we do, On Iowa. You might know him from half the articles we hyperlink each morning. He's smart, he's witty, and he's memorized the depth chart. The sound quality will improve once we know what we're doing, but we doubt the content will ever be better. Have at it.
(NOTE: We've embedded a player for your listening pleasure. You can right-click and "Save As" on the link below it if you want to download the podcast to your hard drive and upload it to your listening device of choice. We're working on getting uploaded to iTunes so that you can subscribe.)

Hey . . .
No fair, two against one. And I know what happened to that phantom guy. He’s Drew Carey, a fate worse than death.
"I always like it better when the clowns seem to try to be happy."
Seriously . . .
Had a lot of fun and anytime you want to do it again.
And Oops, I’m drinking Long Strange Tripel right now. Excellent representation of the tripel, but a little too sweet for me.
"I always like it better when the clowns seem to try to be happy."
Love the idea
But I could barely hear Morehouse for most of the podcast, even with my speakers cranked up. Oh well, hopefully that gets better, I enjoyed it a lot otherwise.
Hey, pal
People listen to the podcast for US, not the guest!
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
WTF?
I listened to that whole goddamn thing and there wasn’t any lightsaber duel that I could hear… Did that get edited out in Post or what?

I have a . . .
Giant, steaming hole in my chest to prove it. HS got me with the ol’ “Hey, look at the baby wolf.”
I looked. I always look.

What's the real name of that opening song?
NittanyWhiteOut.com. Arguably the second best Penn State blog I know of.

Performed by Celine Dion.

Let me rephrase that
What is the song upon which your rendition is based?
NittanyWhiteOut.com. Arguably the second best Penn State blog I know of.
I suggest...
We take a trip back in time to when playing and entire sound file when you opened a web page was cool…then do that with this song.
A BHGP podcast is...
one of the better ideas in the history of mankind. Unfortunately, none of that podcast sounded like it was expressed by mankind.
The intro sounded like this:
And Morehouse sounded like this:
I've sentenced boys younger than you to the gas chamber. Didn't want to do it. I felt I owed it to them.

Goddamn . . .
That’s hilarious!
I always thought I was more of a “Lost in Space,” “danger, Will Robinson” robot.

Whatever type of bot you are...
we’d love to (clearly) hear the voice of it.
I’d much rather hear about the Hawkeyes than listen to a Bill Simmons Report where he waxes nostalgic about Almost Famous and ponders suicide because every Boston Red Sox player was ramming syringes for the last 8 years.
Go Hawks! Morehouse rules!

Damn, Chazz
That Simmons line is freaking hilarious.
“Almost Famous” is an ABC Afterschool Special that sits in the backseat to such classics as “The Incredible, Indelible, Magical Physical, Mystery Trip” and “Pssst! Hammerman’s After You!”
I’ve never read Simmons. I can’t argue his success. I’d love to write for Kimmel, too, but it’s just for me.
"I always like it better when the clowns seem to try to be happy."
Keep up the good work, Marc.
I read Simmons a lot, but his work (or lack there of at times) is starting to annoy me. You can only fly so high on Karate Kid references and mailbags, before people start wondering if you’re a hack.
I’m sorry to hear that about “Almost Famous.” I just borrowed it from my sister, but I haven’t watched it yet. Simmons called it the quintessential movie from the era of 2000 to 2009. While I’m sure it can’t be that good, I kind of hope it’s not “ABC Afterschool” bad.
Keep up your great work regarding the Hawks. Cedar Rapids needs you too much right now to lose you to Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Late to the party
Intro song
Sound Quality on Moorehouse:
It's shocking what you can miss sometimes. The amazing color changing card trick.
Good descriptions,
Shake and Bake.
