The Sink #89 - Kidzbopian Kerplokenstudenstein

OK, kids, sorry it's been another couple weeks since a new episode went up. My plan to make time to edit this episode while travelling went awry for a few reasons, not the least of which was that I neglected to throw the raw audio onto my flash drive.

Welcome to episode 89 of The Sink! This is the first of two episodes we've got banked. My plan is to get the next one up in the next couple days so that we can move on to a fresh episode, which we may record any day now, so get your emails in! In this episode, we cover emails from Cindy, Shmoo and Neal, talk about all sorts of other stuff, plus music by Nine Inch Nails and post-podcast discussion after the exit music; an email from Liz is forthcoming in the next episode.

We're recording another new episode soon, so get your emails in!

The Sink #87 & #88 - Special Double Issue!

Welcome to a special double episode of The Sink -- #87 ("Four Months Later...") and #88 ("Damn You, Billy Zane!"). As you may recall, last week's Oscar episode actually took place in the middle of a massive two-and-a-half-hour recording session. These two episodes (split around the 52:30 mark) are the rest of that session. We cover emails from Cindy, Shmoo and Liz, plus music by Nine Inch Nails, and talk about all sorts of other stuff.

We're recording another new episode tonight, so get your emails in soon!

The Sink #86 - Oscar Edition

Welcome to The Sink #86! As I mention in the intro, this is actually the middle section of a marathon two-and-a-half-hour recording session, but it's Oscar focused, so we wanted to get it up as close to the Oscars as possible. (And you can't get much closer than two minutes before the ceremony starts!) Also under discussion are SNL's Meryl Streep on Ice and some other topics.

Look for the remainder of our conversation to be posted in the next week, and we'll be recording again next weekend, too, so submit your emails by March 5!

The Sink #85 - Polygamy and the Social Network

Welcome to The Sink #85! Sorry for the delay... yet again. We recorded this in early October, and now a month later I've finally gotten around to editing and posting it. A shame, too, since IMHO this is a really good episode (admittedly its one flaw is that there's not enough Tony) — if you only listen to one episode of "The Sink" all year ... well then fuck you, too, buddy. Other than the eponymous topics of discussion, we cover Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work and "The A-List: New York," read an email from Shmoo, and more!

Don't forget to email us your thoughts; we're going to record a new episode some time in the next couple of weeks (probably in the middle of the month).

The Sink #84 - Not Everything Jared Says Is The Title Part 2

Welcome to The Sink #84! Sorry for the delay, again; it's a few days after I intended to have part two up. We recorded this episode a week ago, as explained in the intro to the previous episode. Get your emails in to thesinkpodcast [at] gmail [dot] com. soon for our next new episode, which we plan to record the weekend of October 1.

The Sink #83 - Your Quality Is Bad: Part 1

Welcome to The Sink #83! First of all, sorry for the delay. We recorded this episode a week ago, but difficulties with Skype led us to stop recording only halfway through your emails, with plans to pick up where we left off three days later. We did, and rambled on for more than another hour. Therefore, in our tweets and Facebook updates, we've been referring to this as a two-parter. (Part two will appear no later than September 25.) Here is the first of them, in which we discuss Resident Evil: Afterlife, the Saw Series, video games, Jared's taste in men, the horror marathon, and more.

The Sink #82 - What's Bullet Point Number Two?

Welcome to The Sink #82! Featuring special guests Jessifer and Patrick, what this Sink lacks in audio quality (we had to improvise with a single iPhone doing the job of four microphones), it makes up in a surplus of awesomeness and good humor. Thanks as always for your emails. Keep an eye on the Twitter for news of our next recording date, but to be safe, better get your emails in by Saturday morning, September 11.

There be SPOILERS (albeit minor ones) for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Yes, really!

Props! Our closing music is a clip from Jonathan Coulton's song, "Flickr," which (like all his music) is released under Creative Commons. It's a small, Sink-sized tribute to Cindy and Neal, who are celebrating two years of matrimony even as we post this episode. Happy anniversary, you crazy kids!
