About

Welcome to the home of MetaTalks Podcast. This weekly podcast is a continuing open conversation and dialogue between two friends, @eljeppy and @alachia. Frequent conversations will pertain to the online world we call the "meta' and its cultural emergings. You will notice also that our shows are recorded in binaural format so it is highly recommend you listen using headphones rather than speakers. It's an experiment we are trying out to better enhance the "space" and experience of listening to podcasts online. Read more about who we are »

MetaBytes #2: A Little Bit of Jeppy in My Ear

Tuesday, December 14, 2010 0 comments

I get a little distracted a lot when I'm editing.
Thought I'd put together some scraps of outtakes and old audio really quick to procrastinate some more on editing. From my ear to yours.. here's a little bit of Jeppy.




Guess I'll start adding these MetaBytes to the podcast feed!

Thankful

This episode was recorded on Thanksgiving after I nearly tore Jeppy's arm off twisting it. Not thankful my ass! Turns out he has a lot to be thankful for. 

Just a note, this is a fun, quirky episode. We decided to forgo to the thankful for life, happiness, family, friends, etc...because of course we do.. at least every other day. :)

TSI: The Space Inbetween

Wednesday, December 1, 2010 0 comments


Hi folks,

The month of November is over and we succeeded in completing sixteen episodes of Napodpomo. It was definitely a worthwhile experience and we learned so much from the experiment. We've come up with many new shows formats and had immense pleasure in the community feedback and participation (major bonus!). 

We've decided to finish out all of the planned episodes during the next few months at a much more reasonable pace. :) We will still be continuing with the weekly MetaTalks shows but will add in a new feature called TSI, The Space In-between (so very TNG sounding hehe). TSI will cover all sorts of supplemental shows and even more experimentation to cover everything we don't catch in our regular shows.

Expect some Christmas carols, binaural Jeppy wetting his pants as I pop firecrackers for the New Years, and general misbehavior all around.

Thanks for supporting us throughout.. we hope you continue to join our conversations!

Jeppy's Facebook Post:
270 Hurley +1
0 Sawyer -1

Sawyer stood (shirtless) in the jungle clearing and surveyed the bodies of his fallen comrades. Who could have done this  he thought - polar bears? the others?. Suddenly his ears focused on a low hum coming from the jungle path and his eyes

darted left and right for somewhere to hide. Before he could move however an orange and white blur raced out from the

trees and struck him hard. real hard. As his body sailed through the air he thought of the life he had led and regretted

not one minute. No not even Ana Lucia. His body hit the ground and he knew his end had come. Breathing his last breath he wondered if it would be heaven or hell for him and which one he would find Kate in.

Hurley clambered down from the VW van and shook out his fine mop of curley hair. He Slowly counted the bodies and whistled softly to himself.

"Dude that took like forever"

For a moment there was complete silence and then as if from everywhere a voice rumbled

"You have done well my son"

Hurley smiled and pulled a battered Apollo bar from his pocket which he ate in two bites. Sitting heavily on the ground he carefully removed his shoes. He was glad the island was proud. He smiled as he contemplated the caves full of rations hidden away and wriggled his 4 toes in joy.

The End

You can subscribe here or

Metatalks NaPodPoMo presents a glimpse into the mind of depression, the mind of a lost girl, the mind of Alachia. The journals read in this episode span nearly nine years. They are read to share how the mind can cycle continuously in darkness without help. Therapy is a type of help which is explained. Someone should advocate for you, you should advocate for the people you care about. Don't let them sink.
