    PriorCaster - The Paunch Stevenson Show

    The Paunch Stevenson Show Rob and Greg The Paunch Stevenson Show was born from two friends having fun recording silly bits that they dreamed up onto an old boom box. Rob and Greg, two lifelong friends from New Jersey had been doing these things their whole lives, and then they got inspiration. That inspiration came in the form of a friend and confusion. Who could remember the guys from CHiPs names, let alone their characters, and with the connection to Frank Edward Nora and a love of old television, the Paunch Stevenson show was launched. In 2005 the world was a different place, technology was not the easy point and click world we have today, but Greg and Rob had a vision, a drive, a reason to spoof everything in their nostalgia filled minds. The 1980’s had been a huge stack of firewood for them and now it was time to burn a bit of that off and the fire pit of choice became the Paunch Stevenson Show. So after you take in their historic story here, swing by and dive into the 80s and 90s soaked nostalgia of the show that they have been producing for 20 years.   The Paunch Stevenson Show The Paunch Stevenson Show Rob & Greg Trailblazers, web slingers, mimics, celebrity hunters and just all around good guys.   Entourage members Musician Spoofers Impressionists Historians World’s Longest Running Pop Culture Podcast   The post The Paunch Stevenson Show first appeared on PriorCaster.

    PriorCaster - Mike Boody The Midnight Citizen

    The Midnight Citizen Mike Boody Mike listened to podcasts in the early days of the new media’s life, but didn’t find the things he wanted in it. Until he heard The Overnightscape Underground, here was the thing he was looking for, and by finding that thing, he found a community. Late-night rambles on multiple topics were definitely in his wheelhouse; things were just getting interactive at this time online, and Mike thought this was the time to launch The Midnight Citizen. Since 2010 and now at 300 episodes, Mike has pushed forth into the cool night air a legacy of monology that is uncompromised. As the citizen finally goes to bed, you are welcome to check out the next chapter in the person’s life. Long live The Midnight Citizen, he’s not dead, just as always, taking a long-deserved break.   Mike’s Bonfire The Midnight Citizen Mike Boody Educator, Driver, Late Night Host, Expander of the Universe   Trailblazer Teacher Tech Guru   The post Mike Boody The Midnight Citzen first appeared on PriorCaster.

    PriorCaster - Dan Ganchiff

    Founder and cEO of Givemetalk! Ted Ganchiff Ted Ganchiff decided in the late 90’s to take the road less travelled with a site called Give Me Talk!, making everyone a talk show host of their own program with audio on the internet.  To say Give Me Talk was ahead of it’s time would be an understatement, it was a concept that would come to be but not under his direction. Give Me Talk was an inspired idea that had great promise, but at the wrong time in history.  If only he would have let that server run for a bit longer, we might be calling him the Podfather rather than someone else.   Linked In Genubi.ai Ted Ganchiff Leader, Guru, AI aficionado, sales expert   Founder CEO Internet Audio Pioneer   The post Ted Ganchiff first appeared on PriorCaster.

    PriorCaster - Chad Bowers

    Prime Cell Phone salesman, Anime visionary, Internet publishing maven and Monorail Pilot Chad Bowers Chad Bowers has taken the road less traveled on his lifelong journey to find interesting things to do and survive on.  He has sold cell phones and ended up creating a website, he’s directed anime films and found love, he’s worked in terrestrial radio and found the internet.  All these things have added up to a wild and interesting career of internet oddities. Chad was working in terrestrial radio when he fell into the task of making a website for the station during the Geocities era of internet content.  This foray into creating something new and different made an impact on him. Selling cell phones though was probably the most creative job he could have had at the time, even though saying it doesn’t seem right. It was through cell phone sales that he came up with his personal brand of internet strangeness, TITFOS, or The Incredible True Facts of Space.  This houses his worse fears and craziest desires and has outlasted many others to be a definite stop for the world-weary and tormented internet traveler.   TITFOS ONSUG.com Funimation Chad Bowers Monorail pilot, Writer of the strange and unusual, epic road tripper, and southern gentleman.   Director Narrator Diet Coke Enthusiast   The post Chad Bowers first appeared on PriorCaster.

    PriorCaster - James O'Brien

    Streaming Pioneer, Filmmaker, crowdfunding inaugurate, Atari Homebrew evangelist and lead vocals James O’Brien James O’Brien has worn many hats, but I think his best one is independent media producer.  He embodies the passion and drive that anyone who wants to produce their own media should look up to. Starting with Rant Radio, most likely the first 24/7 independent streaming radio station back in January 1999, onto Rant TV which did the same for video in 2003. His projects and passions for internet media were fierce and incredibly independent. As James has moved through his hobby of creating media, it has led to a kind of dream gig as an independent filmmaker, where he still explores the world for projects that fit his interests.    RantMedia.ca IMDB Page Zero Page Homebrew James O’Brien Host, singer, producer, atari specialist and independent thinker.   Rant Media King Independent Filmmaker Atari Aficionado   The post James OBrien first appeared on PriorCaster.
