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 »

First episode of the new show format which will be more free flowing. Jeppy talks about all the things he hopes to talk about and we share our first writing exercise assignment together.

 The writing exercise:
1. Beginning in the middle, write a beginning that starts in the middle of action (550 words or less)

Alachia has awesomesauce news and Jeppy has a sore on his tongue. Then we seriously metatangent about spanking, the woes of politics and how NOT to clean your beaver box!


A very special MetaTalks reading of Twas the Night Before Christmas!


If you could be invisible for one hour, what would you do? We answer questions like these in this special TSI episode. 

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.


Dedicated to Strumpet and Kichelle. Thanks for letting me meta control you.


This episode is three hours of serious Meta-Tangents! After a long break, we're back and talking about everything. And we have a little fun on formspring terrorizing our meta friends! And we read possibly the longest listener email submission ever!


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. :)


Metatalks Napodpomo presents Part III and the conclusion of Little Known Facts. We finish up this series with sock obsessions, Jim Morrison's Grave, and a ninja bear-slaying tour guide, Oh My!


This episode is packed with some full-on-omg-what-does-this-mean-double-rainbow content. We cover everything from cancer, body image, ice cream as medicine, the art of silence, how we suck at pimping ourselves, and back to politics again. We are also adding a Poetry II episode to the Napodpomo line up.

Metatalks NaPodPoMo continues with  Part II of Little Known Facts. This section takes us from Athens to Egypt and covering everything from porn, drugs, and nekkidness. Part III continues in the next "NaPodPoMo" Episode!


Metatalks NaPodPoMo presents Part I of Little Known Facts. Obscure, embarassing, hilarious, and mundane facts about the hosts Jeppy and Alachia. Part II continues in the next episode!


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.


Metatalks NaPodPoMo presents a tribute to Remembrance Day. Jeppy gives us a beautiful piece of history and poetry readings for and by the fallen.


Metatalks NaPodPoMo presents the movie Hackers reading production staring Kichelle, Azyxa, Igoo, Jemimus, Flipmax, Halloseve, Ciulla, Chewy, Alachia, and Jeppy. Hack the Planet!


Metatalks NaPodPoMo has a bit of fun reading out tweets from friends on tweet day. Jeppy doesn't like zombies, Alachia dreams of an evil surgeon, and we sing Happy Birthday to @diggins. Why a spoon cousin!? aaaaaaZXYA!!


This episode, we pretty much commit social suicide here and delve into politics but we try to make up for it with some nice humiliating personal stories and some inspiring ideas and submissions from the community.


We dug through the archives! The Second Life Episode finally makes its way to the metaverse. This is a pre-recorded conversation between us before we did Episode 3: Layers. We talk about Second Life and the beauty of binaural. Beware the flying willies!


Metatalks is proud to present this compilation of poetry readings by the listeners. Thank you so much for your submissions.


A MetaTalks Guy Fawkes Day special presented by Jeppy. Remember, Remember the fifth of November!


MetaTalks NaPodPoMo brings you a binaural culinary experience of Alachia cooking Pasta Bolognese with Meatsauce


11.03.10 MetaTalks Napodpomo #2: How Mutch?
MetaTalks NaPodPoMo presents How Mutch? Where everyone has a price, including Alachia and Jeppy. FYI, Jeppy is cheap!!

MetaTalks NapodPOmo has it's first kick off show where we explain what to expect for the next month of MetaTalks podcasting goodness. Also, the British apparently only ever get stale, crusty candy. Go America!

Going back to the short two hour format (lol), MetaTalks continues this week with Jeppy calling Alachia a fascist and predictions that all of the greater London area is soon to burn down. We also ponder the question of 'Does non digital media still have a chance?' Metatalks Napodmo kicks off with this episode and we are excited for the future collaborations this month. See you tomorrow!

MetaTalks this week is a 3.5 hour long discussion that ranges from Marriage to High School Life to Soccer gangs and then takes a couple of sharp turns for some good old Meta discussions ranging from our cognitive surplus to the delusions of online relationships. 

10.18.10 MetaTalks #5: Us Them You
After a long break, MetaTalks returns with Alachia and Jeppy and a new format to the show. We play catch-up and discuss everything from depression to learning French to the cutest dog in the world to American Football to this fall's boob tube shows to the fallacies of Social Networking.

05.08.10 MetaTalks #4: Transparency
Episode 4 is a little off protocol. It starts straight with the audio submission from @phoenix1914 regarding the Meta Layers Episode #3. Audio is a little rocky for the first 11mins from Jeppy's side and then gets better after we switched to Skype. We're working on finding a clearer audio input on Jeppy's side including getting him his own binaural mic set.

03.26.10 MetaTalks #3: Meta Layers
Your identity in the Metaverse can consist of many layers. This Episode focuses on the nature of creating those layers to represent yourself online and the consequences of too many or too little layer types.

03.06.10 MetaTalks #2: My Favorite Mexican Dish is Eljeppy
The official intro to Metatalks with background info about our progression into the Metaverse. What's the purpose of this podcast? Where did Metatalks come from? What is binaural?

02.18.10 MetaTalks #1: Let's Get this Conversation Started

With all the google buzz and talk about too many social networks and backlash hatred for facebook and twitter and the concept of blogging, it seems like we have not yet figured out how to truly communicate yet in the Meta. Will communication always be limited? Is this all we want?
