R6volutionary Xchange with artist Nemo Boko.
Wes and Nemo veer out across a wide expanse of topics, from the
evolutionary tools that Nemo has stocked his online store with to his
captivating live performances of ambidextrous painting, while along
the way discussing the myriad influences that inform his work. Stay
tuned after the interview for an assemblage of the piece "You Are God,
Guard Your Mind" by elements of M^2.D
In this special one hour G-Spot, James Curcio builds a fragmented narrative through excerpts from various shows that he produced / co-produced over the past seven years, wandering through it as if displaced in time, in a fever dream.

All of the music and content that makes up this podcasts is home-grown, recorded in various home & psuedo-professional studios.

Wes Unruh is an autodidactic and nomadic magician, musician, and writer. Obsessively neophiliac, he has been studying and writing about the convergence of science and magickal thinking since he first discovered science fiction.
Born in Magic Valley on the edge of the Snake River Canyon in Idaho, he's since lived in Kansas, Colorado, and currently resides in Troy, NY. He's worked with a television producer, as well as a number of musicians, glass blowers, artists, and marketeers as both a memeticist and creative director, and has developed two fictional companies (Digitrash/Digitrash Nomadic and Profanity Press) that were designed to produce real products outside of the normal capitalist structure, such as the Philip K Nixon and Unquiet Mind albums.
He has been an active member in Bastard Nation, and the World Future Society, but has since renounced involvement with all professional organizations.
He has been audio engineer and host of a number of internet radio broadcasts, and can be heard on The Gspot and Occulterati.

Wes Unruh asked a small favor, and I know that you'll like to hear what he and his friends have been doing in the studio. It's pretty damned awesome: http://wu.sauceruney.com/digitrash/
Jason Scott is archiving every single Podcast ever made. It's currently 75GB but growing very fast. Jason explains why he is doing this via this post from his site.
Obviously, I need some space to store all these podcasts, but space, these days, is very cheap. I watch sites that provide specials for hardware, and can purchase a 250 gigabyte hard drive for $100. It's a drive type that is prone to failure, so I buy two. At home, I run these drives on USB2 enclosures, on two separate machines, and I use a program called rsync to keep them synchronized. I download podcasts using a program called doppler, which has several advantages to its approach that are useful for archiving. I have the podcasts on a network drive, so I am not beholden to a specific machine to download the podcasts. I found very quickly that Doppler Radio didn't check to see if you had pointed it to multiple copies of the same feeds (it assumes you're using such a small amount of feeds, that you would always notice the doubles yourself), so I wrote a perl script that yanked out doubles. This has held up for the time being, and while I don't have firm numbers on how much disk space per day this process is taking, I'm not too worried about it... Podcasting certainly has its roots in zine culture, home-brew tapes, BBSes, carbon-copy SF fanzines, and telegraph. If that's too high-minded and artsy-historian, then I could point to the direct event of the fad of "Push Technology" that infected a number of companies in 1998 through to 1999. Microsoft and Netscape both claimed that Push technology would change everything, and Pointcast tried to build a business on it. Really, it was all a fine idea, but the order of the day was to claim that not only was a good idea good, but it would actually turn dog poop into solid gold, so the actuality had issues with the (stock-driven) promises.
