A Little History, 1-10

For any neophytes who've stumbled across this by some tragic mistake, we thought it might be useful to provide some link to our past.

Since we had no idea what we were doing, the audio quality is piss poor, not just because we hadn't yet learned the software, but because were were using a single USB mic. Not even a good one - that came later.

At the time, there were very few options for hosting files online that were free, unlike today. I eventually did discover Archive.org, where all of the DropShock shows still reside. I'll compile the shows here, in increments of ten. You can also follow the above link and peruse the catalog yourself, although it's not very well organized.

I have to admit it's a lot of fun to revisit this project after so many years. For those who don't know, the show got started while Derek and I were driving around, and I had started listening to the 2Old2Play podcast (2old2type), which was pretty amusing. I told Derek about it, and he thought that there was no reason we shouldn't do something like that. So we did.

While the site did eventually get it's own URL, along with the forums, the show started out right here at Blogger.com, so it's entirely appropriate (and surprisingly available) to start right back here, at the very beginning.

What's missing from this first run of shows is the "0 Episode" where we announced that were going to do, something. Surprisingly, that minute-long (or so) spot got a lot of attention, and we were off and running. I present to you here, the first ten episodes of DropShock Radio.
