The SG Show #54 - Four Years Later: Checking in with Steve and Sam

Listen to the latest show.

Looking at the Podcast rig collecting dust in the upstairs closet, Sam commented that it's been a looooong time since we've visited with our Podcast friends. So we cleared some time on the spring calendar this past Saturday, and fired up the microphones again.

On this episode of The SG Show, we talk about what Sam's been up to over the past year, including a discussion of Sam's favorite time of year -- summer vacation.

Here are some links to things we talk about on this week's show:

More about the great writer and poet Edgar Allan Poe.

More information about Michael Jackson, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee.

L. Frank Baum was the author of the 15 different Wizard of Oz series of books. The book Wicked was written by Gregory Maguire.

The SG Show #53 - An update from Sam and Steve

Listen to our latest show.

Thanks to all of you who have called and written, wondering what's going on in our lives over the past six months. Before our hiatus extends itself indefinitely, we thought we'd check in with a brief update. Our New Year's resolution: to do more shows!

Keep in touch and let us know what you're up to, too!

The SG Show #52 - The Father's Day Show

Listen to our latest show.

This show is destined to be a classic. We interview the dads (and their kids) in the family about father's day at our annual picnic. The quiz is back from vacation, and we read listener mail!

And Sam gets a big, big surprise.

What are your memories of your dad? Answer in the comments ...

The SG Show #51 - Two Years and Still Here

Listen to our latest show.

The secret word for this show is "hiatus." The quiz is on hiatus this episode.

Someone (hint: our engineer) pushed the wrong button on our email and erased a bunch of messages we were meaning to get to. If you sent us something, please send it again. And sorry!

The Children of the Lamp series is what Sam is reading now. The book he talked about on the show is The Akhenaten Adventure. Check it out at your local library!

Together, we're also reading Les Miserables, after Sam became interested in the story behind the score of the Broadway musical. We're on page 127 now! Only 1328 pages to go!


Lastly, Sam serenades us at the end of the show with a song on his violin. He's just started learning, and he's practicing regularly now. One day when he's playing Carnegie Hall you can say you heard him way back when.

The SG Show #50 - Not a Podfader, We

Did you think we were gone for good?

Not a chance!

Although this show has gone from being published weekly to being posted, well, weakly, we're determined to bring you the latest developments from SG Central. We're still actively developing new shows. Expect to see one a bit more frequently than once per quarter.

In this show, Sam discusses some great movies he's seen, a few new books, and .. we've got a new quiz for you guys!

Thanks for all your comments! We've read every one and we miss you too!

It's the mistake show. Can you catch all the mistakes?
