Disney Buys Lucas - Dork Summit #1

It's the first ever "Dork Summit"!! With the Universe size announcement of Disney buying Lucas Film, Dorktown needed to podcast, fast.

It's not a Dorktown, it's a Dork Summit!

DORKTOWN'S TOP PODCASTS FROM OCTOBER, 2012

Big change up to Dorktown's Top Podcasts lists. We've really been getting deeper into 'indie' podcasts. So much in fact that we felt the need to expand it out to a top 25 instead of top 10. More exposure to more podcast can't be a bad thing, yeah? We kept the 'mainstream' at 10 because, hey, they really don't need the help from little ol' us. Still we like showing what we're listening to. Also, we graduated Doodie Calls to the Mainstream pods - figured they're getting big enough to be mainstream now.

Dorktown's Top Podcasts From September, 2012

What are the top podcasts Dorktown listened to and enjoyed during September 2012? Well the indie podcasts are becoming stronger and stronger and more interesting. Not a lot of change to this month's mainstream list. Let's have a look at them both.

In mainstream, the continuing storyline of "Emo Kev" gave Smodcast a big boost this month. But Ear Candy was able to hold it off as they are trying some new formatting and beginning to post two shows a week. WTF has fallen into a bit of a rut at the moment, it'll be interesting to see if it comes back on continues to slide.

DORKTOWN MAINSTREAM PODCAST TOP TEN - SEPTEMBER, 2012

1. Ear Candy 
2. Smodcast
3. Todd Glass
4. Professor Blastoff
5. Nerdist
6. Mohr Stories
7. WTF - With Marc Maron
8. ESPN Fantasy Underground
9. You Made It Weird
10. The Session

Others receiving votes: The Duncan Trussell Family Hour, Metal Comedy Midgets.

In indie, keeping the #1 spot is a show about taking a crap...yep. But Firnecast is still knocking at the door. And look out for Tiny Odd Conversations as they were featured in iTunes "New and Noteworthy" which launched them into the Top 30 of comedy podcasts on iTunes. Crazy stuff. We may have to put them on the Mainstream List if this keeps up.

DORKTOWN INDIE PODCAST TOP TEN - SEPTEMBER, 2012

Dorktown Lists: What Beer Should You Be Drinking For IPA Day?

Happy IPA Day to one and all. Indian Pale Ale's are Dorktown's favorite style of beer to drink (in a responsible manner, of course). So on this, the greatest beer holiday of the year, we'd like to share our current favorites, all Dorktown Podcast approved.

• General Sherman (Tioga-Sequoia). Yes TS gives us beer to drink on the podcast but we seriously love this one. Bells actually went and bought some on his own the other day.
• Pliny The Elder (Russian River).
• Racer 5 (Bear Republic)
• Hops Of Wrath (Dust Bowl Brewing)
• West Coast (Green Flash)
• Blind Pig (Russian River)
• Yosemite Fall (Three Monkeys)
• Lagunitas IPA (Lagunitas Brewing)
• Stone IPA (Stone Brewing)
• Knee Deep IPA (Knee Deep Brewing)
• Yellow Snow (Rogue)
• Drake's IPA (Drake's Brewing)

Those are some suggestions from us (if you can manage to find them) they will not disappoint. If you have some suggestions, please feel free to comment. (Also, remind us to get this day off from work next year... and the next day too.)

Remotely Drunk - Dorktown #119

We just had a lot of fun with this one. Too much? Yes. Annoying sometimes? Yes. But good times. Dorktown's first ever guest, Aaron "The La Selva Beach Connection" comes back and gets rude with the gang. As usual we talk (over each other) about: Fresno, Clovis, craft beer, beer beer, Gold Lays, sexy Armenians, extra holes, other podcasts and so on. We also play a mega Or Game/Forit Or Againit/Is It Metal.

Make sure to listen for the remotes with Dead In 60 Years!! Plus some live Light Thieves and we play the new Fierce Creatures. BONUS remote with the mom older sister of Whitney Freeman from Achievement House. There may even be a "Bert" Easter Egg in a remote or two.

It gets real "drunk-y" so be warned. Have a listen:

MEGACAST 1 - Dorktown episode 118

This one is a roller coaster, friends. Two Fresno podcasts do a mash-up with Dorktown to create a MEGACAST! So basically three podcasts try to do their podcasts at one time. Does it work? We're not sure ourselves so please give it a shot and let us know. We do know we were dicks (didn't mean to be it just seemed to happen) and loudmouthed most of the show - sure was fun.

THE PLAYERS:

• Adam and Ed from The View Looks Good From Here, Fresno.
• Chris and Kelly Brown from The Married Gamers.
• Bells, Mikey and Producer Becky from Dorktown.
