The Merlin Show: Two JVs and more

Two JVs & a Nick

No, I haven’t yet interviewed Nick Mirov, but The Merlin Show’s launch week juggernaut rolls on with interviews featuring two “JV”s: Google’s Jeffrey Veen and San Francisco indie rock institution John Vanderslice (the latter of whom also has a show tonight at The Independent at which you should say hi if you see me). Clickable versions of both episodes provided after the jump.

Also, I’ve posted my first in a series of credit highlights, beginning with John Roderick, the man behind the wonderful music you hear over our credits (it’s called “Blue Diamonds” and you can download it here).

Finally, if you haven’t yet subscribed for free, it’s a great time to hop in. Also, kindly note that, if you subscribe via iTunes, you can help me potentially overtake several popular public radio shows. Which would be really cool.  read more »

Vox Pop: What's your "Mac Whine?"

We’ve started a new feature over on MacBreak Weekly that I really hope becomes a regular thing: “Mac Whines!”

Yeah, sure, I’m an unapologetic Apple fanboy (I, mean duh), but some stuff about my Mac experience makes me crazy. Have you got a beef with your Mac or OS X you want to shout from the shiny counter of the “Genius” Bar? Yeah, me too.

I’ll open with:

  • inexplicable iCal “snooze” options (per MBW 30 — which, incidentally, may also be my favorite MacBreak Weekly to date)
  • near-hangs whenever a mounted network volume is no longer available
  • no way to (temporarily) enable password-free user switching
  • The Finder. The goddamned Finder.

What’s your Mac Whine?

The Merlin Show: Interview with Jonathan Coulton

002: Interview: Jonathan Coulton | The Merlin Show

My new video podcast launches today with an interview I recently did with Jonathan Coulton.

JoCo is an internet troubadour and former developer who may be best known for wonderful songs like “Code Monkey” and “Skullcrusher Mountain,” although he also has gigs podcasting for Popular Science as well as playing guitar for his best friend (and sworn nemesis) John Hodgman.

We talk about life as an independent artist, including how Jonathan captures ideas and may or may not be similar to Michael Jackson.


We’ll have a new episode of The Merlin Show every morning this week, then slide into an (approximately) once-a-week schedule for new episodes.

Please consider subscribing via iTunes or Democracy, or just point the “podcatacher” of your choice at http://feeds.themerlinshow.com/TheMerlinShow
