Bombcast Breakdown!! - 4.22.2008 (#10)

Because two exclamation marks means you're super serial about it! 
I have this weird goal of going through each show and taking copious notes, as this whole college thing has taught me. 
 
This is a fluid list.  Beta as its popular to be know as.  Things are going to be dynamic, pertaining to formatting and such, until I get a feel for how things are going to turn out.  Categories may be added, renamed, or simply taken away on 'cast to 'cast basis. Let me know if you see something wrong!  This is as much mine as it is yours!

Bombcast Breakdown!! - 3.18.2008

Because two exclamation marks means you're super serial about it!!   
I'm going to be going through each show (ideally) and taking copious notes, as college has taught me.  The first show was a bit rough due to divided time between audio editing and note taking.   
 
This is a fluid list.  Beta as it's likely to be known.  Things are going to be dynamic, pertaining to formatting and such, until I get a feel for how things turn out.  Categories may be added, renamed, or simply taken away on a 'cast to 'cast case.
If you see any mistakes/have a subsection idea or something along those lines, let me know!!  This list is not just for me!       
 
The edit tools don't like me, I tried to bold a certain phrase, and the entire things became underlined.  Even now.....ohwell.

General Notes  

seems to be very few bits of quick editting early on...
Jeff has no cds.  he made the virtual jump a couple years ago, then sold all his cds     
 
Something new I'm going to be doing is noting particular segments/conversations/viewpoints with a series of ******.  With my almighty power, I deem these worthy of a listen, as the staff really seem like they're giving their heartfelt opinion on the happenings of the industry.  So if you have your library open, please, give that bit a listen!
