We’re giving you our presentation of the Sam Spade radio classic “The Blood Money Caper,” performed by our trio of scratchy throated players from their world record attempt at Wonderfest last month. All apologies to the hard workin’, hard drinkin’, hard lovin’ writers and actors from 1946 who originally brought this to the airwaves. For maximum effect, I’d recommend staying awake for 27 hours before listening - at that point, it’s gold.

This week, on the tower of technobabble, we have two interviews conducted at their recent world record attempt at Wonderfest 2014. The first interview is with academy award winning special effect master Phil Tippett, on how he got into the business, how he’s preserving effects from his past films, and how he’s currently using special effects to tell a new story. Then, we speak with an honest-to-gosh stormtrooper about what goes in to a kick-ass stormtrooper’s uniform, how the imperial ranks are simply misunderstood, and how his group, the 501st legion, is working to do some good on our planet. We also get into some real-world issues from a different perspective than we usually see.

We have science advisor, Rich, to keep us company again as we wade through the murky waters of the urban sasquatch in this week's podcast as it is unofficially the return of the "Bigfoot Roundup!!" I say unofficial because the original intro music for the bigfoot roundup strangely disappeared at the same time as the Conduit (Dave). Enjoy!…
