ADD-Cast

After the DFH meet-up last weekend, many of us wandered over the Paul and Martha’s place to visit and record episodes of the A.D.D. Cast. Good conversations, good beer, and great fun was had by all! The studio was only able to accommodate 5 people at a time, so we broke into shifts with those new to ADDCast (or new to podcast recording completely) in the first session. We discussed Con season and how we were all eagerly anticipating RavenCon and Balticon.

The second group were past guests of ADDCast including Tee Morris, Marc Bailey, Heather Welliver, Brand Gamblin and Allison. I’m not quite sure what they discussed, but there was a lot of laughter and Tee’s daughter, Sonic Boom, was bouncing between us in the living room and crashing the recording session.

Enjoy!

Episode 7 – Holiday Traditions

We hope everybody had (is having?) a wonderful Holiday. This was recorded a few days before Christmas, so it includes a lot of speculation of the holiday. Now that its past, we had a wonderful day and everybody is very happy and contented.

This episode includes:

  • Our Holiday traditions
  • A call from MAinPA
  • A call from Doug Rapson
  • M’s Holiday concert at school

Episode 6 – 80s Toys and Games

A conversation on Twitter lead to our discussion this week about toys and games we played with as kids in the 80s.

Don’t forget – we are still looking for Holiday traditions to share. Please leave a voicemail, e-mail, or comment here on the site and share yours! 413-669-4720

Episode 5 – Addendum

Hey, this is Chooch and I wanted to post a quick little addendum to our request from the last episode. In reviewing the episode I realized that I had asked for people to send in their “Christmas” traditions. Well, I truly meant to say “Holiday” traditions – since clearly there is a lot more than Christmas going on this time of year.

We haven’t discussed Religion on the show yet, but I’m sure it will happen sooner or later. The concept of blending families could clearly refer to bringing children from previous marriages together (which is our case) or bringing diverse religions, races, ethnicities and cultures together. All of which is appropriate to the show, and are all certainly welcome.

So – with that in mind – please call with ANY of your traditions, be it holiday specific or not. I am fascinated by all of the above, and I’m sure your fellow listeners are as well.

The number to call is: 413-669-4720
