If you were with us back in Season One, you fell in love with the cute & quirky thereminist, Pamelia Kurstin. She played her theremin on the phone for us, and it looks like she’s now hit the big time! {As if it wasn’t “big time” yet to play with David Byrne or the Bionic [...] |

We had a great time on our first live show tonight!
We broke new ground as we wandered deep into the nerd forest, and contributed to the first live broadcast to simultaneously feature video of a catbox and a Wookie throwdown.

in episode 0000041:
The genii are back after a 23-month hibernation!

Gameshow: Gilmore Girl Character or Palin Child?
Genius Swift [...] |

in episode 0000040:
So we seriously, really made it back! In this episode, we basically do nothing at all. We didn’t think it would be right to just throw you into an awesome ELECTION 2008 episode without first priming the pump.
Coming next: The 2008 Election Episode! |

Well twist my mustache and tickle my ivories! The Bionic Genii are back!?
Don’t get your sock garters in a bunch… Like when David Lee Roth hooked-up again with the VanHalens, this is an experiment to see if the band can still play after all these months of disdain and what-what.
Join the genii [...] |

So we’ve decided to hold the baby under the water until it stopped kicking.
We might be developing some new shows, but for now… just let it be.
To mark this weekend in history as the anniversary of the show’s launching, here’s a special redux version of our first show, THE 2005 THANKSGIVING SPECIAL.
the 2005 Bionic [...] |

in episode 0000038:
So we finally made it back! In this episode, we finally swore-off skits!!! Like Terry will ever give-up the skits!?
Over lunch we talked about the usual: what we were eating, wearing, watching, listening to and morning over.
If you think there’s a Star Wars element to this episode, then you’re just wishful thinking. |
|
So after the dust cleared from Alan’s departure, our legal department is allowing us to return to the roundtable on one condition:
No more skits.
As the genii we are, we’re always looking for loopholes. So we offer you the latest podcast installment, episode 0000037.5.
We’ll be back at the roundtable before you can figure-out the following [...] |
|
So we’ve caved under the pressures of the man.
We’ve brought banner ads to the site.Keep scrollin’, keep scrollin’… there they are!
We’ve tried to offer something for everyone. I’m only guessing here, but I’m going to display what are bound to be the staff favorites. Ready?
Alan:
Roy:
Terry:
So click long & click hard. Do it for [...] |
|
holy cow! where have you been??!
This one’s been sitting around for weeks gathering dust. There’s probably even some dated jokes here about Y2K, failed space shuttle missions and the Nixon administration, but that’s no different than any other show, so you’ll dig it as usual.
Roy and I thought this would definitely be the [...] |
|
Not only is the audience threatened with only one last broadcast, but we’re also having some technical issues on the site. Sorry so stripped! It must be Karma setting-in.
So yah, the episode titled “THE LAST BROADCAST…MAYBE” will go live shortly, so stay-tuned for that and hopefully more |
|
inane chatter defined.
This week Alan announces that he’s leaving work, which likely means the show will suffer from a hiatus hernia.
We fail at several attempts to call someone who cares: Josh the Intern, Indiana Buddhist Temple, and Indiana’s top terrorist target: Amish Country Popcorn. Yes, popcorn {see Indystar.com}.
Thanks to Erin for this grande Jon [...] |

This week we speak with Rockin’ Ronnie Shewchuck, BBQ expert from Canada. Ronnie shows us that Canadians are almost good for something.

Let’s see … we already told you about Rockin’ Ronnie Shewchuck. His Web site is www.ronshewchuk.com/bbq/. We talk about plank cooking, the difference between grilling and barbequing, [...] |
|
We have sad news…
Alan is leaving work, which means that he’s leaving the show, or rather — the current set-up of recording over lunch at work. Make sense?
So, if prodded, we can continue the show using a different technology, like voice over IP {Skype}, morse code or carrier pigeon.
Your voice can make a difference. [...] |

Who’s a good dog?
This week we speak with Skip Haynes from the Laurel Canyon Animal Company, Makers of Pet CD’s guaranteed to get a reaction from your dog. We even play a few of these songs on the show, so get some headphones for your pooch!

In this episode…
This week we speak with Greg Mortenson, an American on a mission, fighting terrorism one school at a time.
The former mountaineer heads up the Central Asia Institute, which has built more than 50 secular schools for girls and boys in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
