Basic Brewing Radio...

**Homercidal** · 09-10-2008, 06:01 PM

I kind of got interested in Basic Brewing Radio a week or two ago and decided to download the podcasts so I can play at home and in the car...

Between the archived podcasts from 2005 to now, and the video podcasts, I have nearly 7 GB of data!!!

Now to hit the Brewingnetwork.com ...

The BN has some pretty long shows (3-5hrs for the Sunday Session), but it's good stuff.

I'm listening to the newest BBR podcast now- our own Kaiser is discussing attenuation with James Spencer right now!

NOOOOO.... don't do it....
especially if you are married...

I started with Jamil's show on the BN...
it was like the starter drug...
once I got done listening to the entire archive for that,
I downloaded all of the archive for the Session...
dude... its like crack
it will ruin your life...
your wife/girlfriend will hate you...

if I remember the numbers from the last time I figured it out,
there are over 400 hours of the Session in the archives...
I listen while I am driving to and from work,
I am at work not, listening as I am typing this...
mowing the lawn, cooking dinner, taking a shower,
every time I am doing something that I can get away with it,
I am listening...

run...
run quickly...
don't let it get you...

I took the Brewing network on holiday with me and the dogs (and SWMBO) to Ireland.

I like BBN but I haven't listened in a while, he was starting to repeat topics and it didn't really hold my interest. The best episodes are the ones with real interviews and not just him and Andy talking.

I know what you mean! I promise it's not a problem. I'm ok. I just listen to to it in the car or in the garage. Well, sometimes in the house while I'm working on the remodeling.

I'm a fan of both programs. Sometimes Jamil's show gets a little mature for the kids. My little one (9 yo) sometimes likes to listen. I think she might someday like to brew her own, once she forgets the taste of IPA...

Yeah, I just realized that today. I thought they were all 1-hour shows, but this last download I looked and it said 2:18:00. 2 hours!! No wonder they are so huge.

I had to turn on the corporate web filter today so the auditor can see that we use it. Normallly it's turned off. I noticed that I can use "Quota Time" (you are allocated 6 10-minutes blocks of certain non-adult-themed sites) on basicbrewing.com, but brewingnetwork.com is blocked completely! Good job, Jamil! It was the "America! F&*K Yeah!" episodes and a few others that did it for them...

Only two hours? You are just getting started. There are Session episodes that run 4+ hours. I have 11/05 - 04/06 loaded onto my phone right now to listen to as I drive and what not. The shortest is 2h 10m, the longest is almost 4h, and the average is just over 3h. To the best of my knowledge, the longest Session show they have done so far is just over 5h, and that was with Lodi Brewing on 01/06/08.

I am telling you, it's an addiction... get away while you can.
