Episode 008: It's Sodalicious!

Rick — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 05:40:00 +0000

In a "very special" episode of BoulderFaD, we are joined by Mom and Daniel for a taste-testing of the Chanukah soda pack from Jones Soda. They also have novelty soda packs for Christmas and Thanksgiving, but we didn't try those (our bravery only extends so far).

Our conclusion: A nice novelty gift idea, but perhaps not the sort of thing one would drink on a regular basis.

Episode 007: Happy Thanksgiving!

Rick — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 02:16:00 +0000

Coming off last night's sleepover with her friends (ohmigodthatcaffeineisAWESOME!), Eliana shares a few thoughts about movies. We also talk about cooking at the homeless shelter, how to throw a boffo Harry Potter party for youngsters, Halloween, middle school drama (not the performing kind), middle school musicals (the performing kind), and a few other goodies. Also a book review. Happy Turkey Day, everyone!

Episode 006: In Memory of Cousin Fred

Rick — Sun, 07 Oct 2007 16:22:00 +0000

We get a detailed rundown of Eliana's classes, get a little giggly over the subject of crushes, and end on a sad note.

We miss you, Fred.

(Recorded on October 1.)

Episode 005: They Say It's Your Birthday

Rick — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 05:53:00 +0000

Lots to talk about since last month. Harry Potter Release Party recap. Denver Botanic Gardens. Our friend's bike accident and recovery. Eliana's birthday. Grandma and Grandpa's visit. School starting. Busy, busy.

Sorry for the jet engine noise in the background starting a little ways in. We were recording with my new laptop, and the cooling fan kicked in--didn't realize how loud it was. Live and learn.

Episode 004: Pottermania!

Rick — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:02:00 +0000

The fifth movie and the seventh book in one week--what else are we going to talk about? Plus big Bat Mitzvah Update news, and our upcoming visit to the opera.

Episode 003: California Dreamin'

Rick — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 06:17:00 +0000

We talk about our summer vacation in California. Following up with a "Bat Mitzvah Update," and anticipation of the final Harry Potter adventure.

Episode 002: Embarrassing Stories Are Told

Rick — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 04:50:00 +0000

We start off with a little guest beat-boxing from brother Daniel. We then cover recent birthdays, the end of school, other recent activities, our upcoming summer vacation, embarrassing stories from the distant past, "It's a Small World," and a few other random topics. Quite a bit of background noises in this episode--and a few foregound ones as well. Enjoy!

Our music clip from Face is "Accidentally in Love" from their latest CD, "Forward."

Episode 001: Memorial Day Weekend

Rick — Tue, 29 May 2007 06:36:00 +0000

A very light and frothy podcast. We begin with a quotation from "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and end with an extended description of our long weekend's activities. Summer's almost here!

Episode 000: Our First Attempt

Rick — Thu, 24 May 2007 06:56:00 +0000

This is our first attempt at podcasting, so please bear with us. This episode is really something of an experiment--we didn't really have a good name for it before we started. Thus calling it episode Zero.

We discuss a little bit about where we live, Eliana's school, book reviews of books she has recently read, and a bit about "dating" in middle school. All in all a nice chat between father and child.

Special thanks to Eric of There are Jews in Alabama? for technical assistance.
