The Dime – Episode 14 – Meet Blake Smith

Shane — Mon, 30 May 2011 16:13:25 +0000

This week Shane and Jonathan had on Blake Smith from the Monstertalk podcast.

Blake Smith is a writer and researcher of matters cryptozoological and paranormal. He has been interested in the mysterious for decades and has been a “formal” skeptic of such claims since 1997. His conversion from believer to casual doubter to formal doubter was a lengthy process, the first steps of which were reading the works of Jan Harold Brunvand and his highly entertaining works on urban legends. You can find Smith’s articles on MonsterScience.org, DoctorAtlantis.com, and on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.

The title says it all. This week, Shane and Jonathan meandered through any topic that came to mind. Part of the reason was due to poor bandwidth on the recording side that has now been eliminated. Enjoy…we hope!

The Dime – Episode 6 – Meet Atomic #7

Shane — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 15:13:21 +0000

This week we had an interview too good to wait until our normal Dime rotation time. We spoke with Ginger Corbett from a new ice cream shop in Henderson, NV, a close suburb of Las Vegas. When we were at The Amaz!ng Meeting 8 in early July, we checked out Atomic Number 7 one evening, interested to see what happens when you combined liquid nitrogen, vegan ingredients, and choice. We weren’t disappointed. This week we had the great pleasure of interviewing Ginger Corbett, one of the partners in the business, and talked pretty much nothing but ice cream for the full hour of the show. This was a fun interview about a great business with an interesting concept that we expect to be around a while.
