Radio Blunderbuss

Radio Blunderbuss episode 45! We open with a discussion of tobacco art, and Michael's past as a tobacconist - with a little coverage on cool cigars.

Also of note - the show now has its own Twitter feed: radioblunderbus (with only one "s") is our name over at Twitter.com

Lately, dismayingly, there's been some real mistreatment of the Roma people in Italy, so we talked a bit on that. Does it all tie into our ease with forgetting our history?

This week's booze is a 2005 Mirassou Chardonnay, cheap and cheerful.

Recently, Adam heard about a really cool project that's been working on getting out Beatles remasters with better fidelity than the never-exceptional and now antiquated official CD releases.

Joe "the third Blunderbusser" joins us again for a chat on vintage clothes, covering everything from boots to military gear to kilts. We have a tasty beer on the table this round - Longhammer (hold the phallus jokes) (dammit, I said "hold the phallus") IPA from Red Hook. Counterfeiting in the digital age. Sure, there are counterfeit bills, counterfeit watches, counterfeit clothes - but counterfeit routers? Really? All this and any number of other ratholes this week on Radio Blunderbuss!

We talk about food shopping idiosyncrasies, Harpoon Summer Beer, the stigmatization of public photography, and summer camp.

Adam's cousin Scott drops by for a discussion covering Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the oil crisis, a great Puligny-Montrachet White Burgundy, Web 2.0 and Net Audio 101, Cruzan Black Seal Rum, and Michael tells us some more about the Electric Circus.

The Pope visits America - pleasing... some, matters religious, the Olympics are heading for China, Dogfish Head's 90 Minute IPA, and what is it that makes funny things funny?
