We wrap up with thanks to Terry and award him the Soon-to-Be-Coveted PoddyTalk Colostomy Gift Bag- full of a lot of good crap. Having given him a proper warm-up, Terry is turned loose for his 60-Second Rant.

This month I am pleased to present an interview with Terry Bressi. To help make downloading a little less painful, I've broken the interview up into multiple segments. I'm posting each segment separately until I figure out how aggregators deal with multiple audio files in a single post.

I met Terry at The University of Arizona which he attended after serving five years in the United States Coast Guard. He graduated with bachelor's degrees in both astronomy and physics and has been working in astronomy as an engineer/observer ever since. In his capacities as both student and employee, has had run-ins with The University of Arizona, the Tohono O’odham Police Department, and the Department of Homeland Security. In our interview, he discusses his efforts to insist upon his rights being respected.

In the introductory segment of the interview, we introduce Terry and attempt to probe his mortal soul by asking strange/embarassing questions. Terry is having none of it. Then Terry does the news. His topic of choice was border patrol issues, and it was quite illuminating for me.

PoddyTalk Is Here!

PoddyTalk is the show where we’re not afraid to use f-words like freedom, free-market, futurist, or even to drop the occasional f-bomb. We’ll be talking about liberty, space, sex, and whatever else my guests and I happen to find interesting. The current plan calls for posting one show each month or so. The RSS feed can be found by clicking on the button marked Feedburner.

You are welcome add your thoughts about a particular podcast in the comments section of the relevant post for that podcast subject to shitcanning at my whim. Constructive criticism is very welcome- I'm still moving up the learning curve on the logistics (for example, I have discovered that it is not a good idea to type on the same computer that's recording the interview) and any suggestions for improving sound quality, interviewing skills, etc... would be greatly appreciated. (I am particulary interested in how to eliminate that odd recurring buzz/beep noise that crops up in the first few interviews- I'm using GarageBand and, no, it's not the metronome because I turned that off.) Being an ass is not welcome. I will shitcan comments without explanation or justification that I find to be abusive, harassing, spam, etc...

If you have ideas for interviewees for future shows or other ideas, you are welcome to post them in the comments for this post. Alternatively, you can e-mail me at poddytalkATcrackerscentralDOTcom.
