I recently was a guest panelist and reviewer on the Hyjact'd Anime Review podcast! We reviewed the TG / CD Anime Classic I My Me! Strawberry Eggs live, and I had a blast doing it! Also got to prove that I can Skype without my bandwidth choking too much!

I'm not hosting the file on my host, so you won't actually get the file in your podcatcher - You will need to download it manually using the links I've provided below. Sorry for the inconvenience!

I'm heading down south to Alabama for Memorial Day, but here, have a new episode in the meantime!

I'll be recording a bonus episode at the convention I'm at, that should be up sometime this weekend!

Episode 22, Experimentation!

This episode has a lot of new stuff -- New segments, new format, all kinds of goodies! I debut 2 new segments, Sabrina Takes on Podcasts, and the Tranny Take on Movie Reviews!

Be aware that there's some sound quality issues with this episode, but the source of the problems have been found and eliminated, but rather than re-record, I opted to get the episode out as quickly as possible.

I have started a new twitter solely dedicated to the podcast, and it is linked below:

ETA: 02/23/09 Thanks to Sparrow over at The Talking Tranny Forums (http://talkingtranny.com/smf) for pointing out that the download for this episode got broken at some point. I've corrected the issue and the episode should be downloadable again!

So.. Have I podfaded? Should I just hang up the 'ol microphone? Well, take a listen and tell me what you think!

Can it be? So soon on the heels of Episode 19?

Lots of little changes to note:

Podcast page now available at http://www.sabrinatalk.com
Yes I'm evil and put ads up. Suffer. Or click. Please!
Yes, that's my real voice. No more vocal processing unless folks suddenly think I need it.

Other stuff, including an announcement of a forthcoming interview, and some other not-as-pleasant stuff as well.

Enjoy!
-Sabrina

Okay.. this two part thing isn't working. I'm gonna try a format switch to see if I can get episodes out more regularly and on time.

So I'm gonna try and quit putting so much into each episode and instead maybe do a weekly smaller episode of what I've been going through each week. Think it'll make it much more manageable.

Anyways.. I recorded what was going to be the "first half" of Episode 19.. umm.. a couple of weeks ago. And then all the stuff I wanted to say for the second half got pushed back.. leaving part one to collect dust.

Well, rather than continue to wait and wait.. I figured I'd put the first half out as Episode 19, and then put out the "second half" as Episode 20 and start from there with these smaller, bite-sized episodes.

So.. umm.. enjoy!

Okay.. so I'm back from New Jersey, and I've finished the show. Things have been up and down a bit. This show is interesting because I recorded the first part in January, and the second part in February! So it's sort of like a big double-ep!

Noticed that I typed up the Ep 17 Pre-Show Blurb on the Sabrina Talk 1 year anniversary.. So Sabrina Talk's been around for an entire year! That makes Ep 17 really Episode "One" of Season Two! Gonna update some things, look at where Sabrina Talk is headed.

After a long hiatus.. Sabrina Talk returns.. unfortunately not on the best note.. But return nonetheless. No news this time, just a long rambly "where I've been and what I've been up to." Show.

Nothing special, and not the greatest show I've ever done, but it is what it is. Hope you enjoy it, and hope this harkens to future shows and getting back on that train a'rollin'.

Okay.. So here's the loooooong awaited Episode 15.

No excuses on my part, except having too many commitments right now and being mentally screwed in the head. 'Course, that leads me to having crap to talk about for the next episode, I suppose..

Anyways, in this episode in the first half I get back to my audio-blogging roots and talk about me and my life and update stuff.

Second half is a surprise guest for you, let me know what you think!

-Sabrina

Long Overdue.. Sorry for the wait.

I talk about some of my fandoms, Browncoats and Second Life, due to requests from friends to talk about those things.. Also talk about my life a bit, and some stuff I saw in the news.

Just an FYI -- Be prepared, this show's sound quality
will be less than you're probably used to. The show was
recorded on my new iRiver portable mp3 player / recorder
as I made the commute home from work on two consecutive
nights this week. There's a lot of road noise, which is probably
unavoidable when recording a podcast at 75mph. Still, I think
the first half of the show has some good thoughts, and the second
half is my usual rambling on about my life and what I've been doing.

Enjoy!

I keep saying the shows are going to be "short," and then I end up talking for nearly as long as the "normal" shows are! So I guess I keep thinking I don't have anything to say.. and then I just won't shut up!

BREAKING BEWS:

It looks like Podomatic has decided to place banner ads on free users' pages now -- I received no prior notice this was going to happen. See the news below. I may have to update to a paid account sooner than expected, or I may have to find another host service for the show.

News:

If the show continues to grow, I will need more space to store shows and more bandwidth per month. Currently, I have used almost 1/3 of my current storage space for files, and I will already need to downsample my shows to reduce the bandwidth and storage needs. I will also be recording future shows most likly at 64kbps mono settings, again to save space and bandwidth.

However, I suspect that may not be enough, and that I will have to soon upgrade to a a "pro" account. The free accounts seem to have been designed for shows much shorter in length, and I simply will need the extra storage capacity and bandwidth. The advanced statistics and options won't hurt either.

If, for some reason you feel so inclined, I do have a paypal donation button on the page over to the right if you'd like to help. Sabrina Talk is a free show, and will always remain a free show, but I certainly won't turn down donations for any reason. (If you want to donate clothes, shoes, or makeup, contact me for a mailing address.. ::wink:: )

Also, I'd like to remind you that I still have the voice comment line at 206-350-CDTG (206-350-2386) and if you'd like to call and leave me a message, I'd love to hear from you! Calls may be played on the show, but if you request your call not to be aired, they won't.

Also, I now have forums for you to discuss the show, give me feedback, or converse with other listeners! The link is on the right hand side or you can click below:

Show notes:

One Girl Revolution By Superchic[k]:

I wear a disguise
I'm just your average jane
The super doesn't stand for model
But that doesn't mean I'm plain
If all you see is how I look
You miss the superchick within
And I christen you titanic underestimate and swim
I've got the rifle gonna be myself (x4)

(CHORUS)
I'll be everything that I want to be
I am confidence in insecurity
I am a voice yet waiting to be heard
I'll shoot the shot, bang, that you hear round the world

And I'm a one girl revolution (x3)

Some people see the revolution but most don'y they see girl
I can lose my hard earned freedom if my fear defines my world
I declare my independence from the critics and their stones
I can find my revolution I can learn to stand alone...

Show notes:

• Song: "I want my Flying Car," Podsafe Music Network -- Tom Smith

The first ever "test" show of Sabrina Talk! This is the first I've recorded, and hope to gauge listener response. I talk about my take on TG political activism, a little about myself, and Second Life.

The music in the intro is by The Barbarians, the first break song is "Throw me a curve" by the Go-Go's, and the second break song is Second Life (That's Where I Want to Be) by Niko Donburi.
