Synopsis
Jeff and Gretchen's weekly comedy and audio blog podcast. Oh no! Not another couple cast? Well - Jeff and Gretchen are quite different than the norm. For starters, Jeff and Gretchen are not romantic partners. They approach their weekly show as two friends catching up over a weekend lunch. Extremely well produced, Jeff and Gretchen develop National Lampoon style comedy bits and talk about their fun lives in Dallas Texas. Topics cover politics, music, dating, relationships, sex, science, math (it's true!), religion, movies, their home town and of course this and that! Jeff also writes and performs original music - usually silly, always entertaining. If you haven't heard "Podcast Star" yet (heard by thousands all over the internet), you really should go to their website and check it out. Also on the website you can find all you ever wanted to know about Jeff and Gretchen and their studio. They even keep a blog to keep their fans completely up to date.

Show 63 This And That Podcast
15/03/2008Show 63 This And That Podcast61 minutes | 55.9 MBdownload mp3: play right NOW: Not much production on this show. Every time I use the software that I use now - Logic Express - it acts differently. I just haven't had the time (and won't) for awhile to really learn it very well I guess. I thought it would be a productivity enhancer and it's turning out to be the exact opposite. And I suppose the infrequency of these podcasts make it so that I forget any little tricks that I learned last time. Summertime should allow me some time to really learn this software (have other things going on that require my focus) so until then there probably won't be much of anything on these podcasts except for the talk. Which, hopefully, is all you really care about anyway!
