So hey guess what I just discovered Paul and Storm.

Yeah, I know, 2005 called and they want their Internet back. Shut up.

What have I discovered so far is that I like this song, Paul and Storm occasionally open for Jonathan Coulton, they've been featured on The Bob and Tom Show several times and their podcast is called Paul and Storm Talk About Some Stuff for Five to Ten Minutes (On Average).

Storm: I made butter a couple of nights ago.
Paul: You made butter, is that a euphemism?

So the title for this podcast is pretttttty accurate. It's Paul and it's Storm and they're talking about things. I'm about five episodes and some of the featured topics have been:

Felicia Day
Kittens
Hoping Felicia Day Notices Them
Culture-Grown Meat
Vacations to the Grand Canyon
Eating Habits
Pining for Felicia Day

I think I'm safe when I categorize this in the "nerd banter" field of podcasts.

Content Rating: Explicit. Curse-type words, possibly naughty-type content contained within.

Average Episode Length: Not five or ten minutes. Browsing through their archives show that most of the episodes run about twenty to forty minutes! Looks like their intentions of being a quick listen got push aside pretty quickly, but hey, more content for the devoted listener amirite?

I wanted a status check: did you, in fact, fall into a crevasse and die?

Drinking Game: Hm, these are always tricky. Drink whenever Paul and/or Storm says something that seems to honestly surprise Storm and/or Paul.

Release Schedule: A weekly podcast recorded Monday, released ASAP which usually ends up being Monday or Tuesday.

Music: To quote from their FAQ:

• The intro music will always be “The By Cracky Beat” from Lowney’s Chocolates. (Find the song and more info here)
• The outro music will always be “Carry Me Back to Old Virginny” by the Tom-Terry Trio

Unintentionally Good Part: This podcast is a good "listen and" podcast. It doesn't require your entire attention, thus allowing you to listen and knit, listen and perform surgery, listen and toss sabers back and forth with a trusting friend, ect.

Unintentionally Bad Part: It is one more banter-style podcast on the Internet. There's a lot of them, and if you don't find a rapport with these two dudes you probably won't find this podcast interesting.

I'm still in the first stages of listening to this podcast, but I like it. Given time and a chance to learn Paul and Storm's personalities I bet it will be a podcast I stay subscribed to. I hope you'll give it a chance and check out their music as well!
