This month marks my 15th anniversary in podcasting. It’s not a terribly exciting story but one that I think is worth recounting. Summer 2004 I’d created my first “real” website with a domain name. I had this idea to record “radio shows” and post them on that site. Maybe people would find them? I had … + Read More

Hyper Nonsense

15 Years of Podcasting

It’s Never Over

Important topics from this episode: CBD, lightning immunity, dog distros, funny license plates, spectophila, and more.

Dog Distros

Some years, there's a February 29th. Some years, there's a pretend February 29th. This is one of those years. In this episode, Shawn talks about an encounter with Dave Matthews bros in a local bar. Then, Shawn talks about bowling and his failed attempt at locating a local bowling alley center. Shawn tells the story of leaving his iPhone in a Lyft car. Then, it's time for an RPM Challenge update. The show is closed out with a news item about machete named Kindness.

Pretend Leap Year

It's Hyper Nonsense! Your home for butterfly orgies, productivity explosions, and more! This episode we talk about a recent trip to the monarch butterfly grove in Pismo Beach. Shawn has a theory on beach-going, and how often people actually go to the beach. Shawn's using OmniFocus and is now going to get EVERYTHING done. Jen has a fun game that puts phone numbers and fake HuffPost article titles together. We're doing the RPM Challenge! Subscribe to the Hyper Nonsense bonus feed to get the sounds we record during the challenge. We finish out the show with the story of a wine-drinking rabble-rouser in a WalMart electric scooter. Also: Pringles!

Spiritual Taco Painting Classes

We went to Blizzcon 2018 in Anaheim, CA. Also, some smart guy started a huge wildfire to celebrate having a boy? Most importantly: Peppermint Choo Choo!

Drunk Nerds Dancing

It's been a minute (or two) since we released an episode. But we've got some good reasons. And we cover them in this episode! Jen got sick. Shawn got sick. And other stuff happened. Jen talked about her new podcast and non-podcast ventures. Shawn talked about why he rejoined Instagram after being away from that platform for many years. The two talk a lot about social networks, and why social networks suck. Links: Jen's Twitch channel Words of Jen podcast Jen's Lore Corner podcast Shawn's Instagram account

Hyper Nonsense is (finally) back! And Jen's on the show, too! Tho, she didn't necessarily get to talk much. We started the show by reading about a new sleep medication Shawn is taking. Sleep eating. Sleepwalking. Sleep motorcycling? They're all coming. Then, Shawn recapped his recent trip to Podcast Movement in Anaheim (which he has many thoughts/feelings about). Jen is participating in Inktober. That's a thing where art nerds draw stuff and put those drawings on the 'net. We finished out the show with a thank-you to our former Patreon backers, as we've decided to close our Patreon account. (Don't worry. The show isn't ending.)

Sedative Hypnotics

Hyper Nonsense is back! And in an attempt to make things even more complicated, Shawn attempted to stream the show live over Facebook Live Audio. (And yes, it is another sad, depressing, solo show. Sorry?) Shawn is going to the upcoming Podcast Movement conference in Anaheim! He is excited about it, but also dealing with the usual levels of anxiety and dread that go along with leaving the house. In a previous episode, Shawn talked about how he and Jen are considering donating their old car to charity. Shawn gives an update on that situation, and shares his feelings about being car-free (definitely not care-free). Shawn talks about his quest to be known by name at ever pizza parlor in town.

It's time for the semi-annual Hyper Nonsense Apple Cast! Nathan joins the show via Skype. He and Shawn talk about all of the latest Apple-related stuff, including news, podcasts/websites, and what Apple products they're both using these days.

Apple Cast 2017

Hyper Nonsense has returned! In this episode, Shawn talks about the issues that had to be overcome with the Hyper Nonsense website, which is part of the reason why there hasn't been an episode in awhile. Jen is absent due to a recent heatwave that has found her going into vampires mode and sleeping all day long. Shawn has some thoughts about the newish play review rule in major league baseball. Also, Shawn and Jen are considering going car-free, as Jen's car is old and they're too financially poor to get a new one.

Trying to Make Something in a Chaotic World

Squeaking in just barely by the end of the month, we're back! It's time for a new episode of Hyper Nonsense. With a special guest! All the way from London, England. It's Rowley from the DarkCompass podcast! During the show, we reminisced about the ye olde days of podcasting yore. We learned how Rowley sources music for his heavy metal-focused podcast. We took the opportunity to ask our non-American guest what the people of the UK think of current events in America (Trump!). Rowley then gave us an education on the nature of Brexit in the UK, and what that may mean for the future. Finally, we wrapped up the show with news items about flamethrower weed abatement (spoiler: the house gets burned down) and the latest trend in fight clubs: Chuck E. Cheese's.

Totally Totaled

We're sick. But, probably for different reasons. Still, we wanted to get a show out before the end of the month. During this episode, we talked about why we're sick. We discussed the  new business we started, as well as what it's been like to be self-employed the last couple years. We talked about an audiobook we recently produced. Then, we finished out the show by opening a mystery box that was recently sent to our post office box.

Sickcast

Hyper Nonsense is back! And just in time for Christmas. Speaking of which, Jen is the proud owner of a shiny new (refurb'd) iMac. We talk about that, as well as the recent closure of MacSuperstore here in San Luis Obispo. We revisit a Hyper Nonsense holiday tradition (choo choo!) and discover that, not only is there a Peppermint Choo Choo, but there's also a Peppermint Engineer. We contemplate a moral conundrum in which I buy a guy a bus pass. We go over some long overdue listener feedback, and then we finish out the show with our thoughts on the movie Rogue One.

Peppermint Engineer

We're back with a brand new podcast, recorded completely in studio! With microphones and soundboards and everything! We talked about the Cubs amazing World Series victory as well as the Fox TV announcers' anti-Cubs bias (including Joe Buck's massive mancrushes on Clayton Kershaw and Cory Kluber). We have an inevitable discussion on the recent presidential election and its aftermath. Jen explained why she deleted her Twitter account and we finished out the show with a news article about a unique World Series bet.
