Scope News Alert: It’s a Good News Bad News Kind of Thing

July 23, 2009  |  Posted by: The Scope

Attention all Scopeamaniacs!

We know you can’t get enough of our Scope antics, so we graciously accepted Scope-friend John Norton’s invitation to participate in the latest episode of “Zero Hour with John Norton.” Find out if we can figure out non-typical areas for comb-overs. Find out if Adam actually makes an effort to appear on someone else’s podcast over his own. And find out if John Norton can masterfully edit down the ramblings of three crazy Minnesotans. Personally, we hope he can. What are you waiting for? Start listening now.

Also, it is that time of year again when summer impacts our schedule. That means we won’t be recording a new show next week. We’ll be sure to let you know when episode 78 is on the docket.

Thanks for listening. From our hearts to yours. Thump thump thump….

Episode 77: Nerd Roundtable For Two

July 20, 2009  |  Posted by: The Scope

Shane and Jared have the place to themselves, and they settle in for a roundtable discussion of all the happenings in entertainment news — as long as you consider two topics to be all the happenings in entertainment news. Also, we talk about cats for a long time. Cats, cats, cats, cats, cats. The Internets love cats.

Plus: Shane reads the News, and Jared does a passable job of reading the Coming Soon, but completely fails to hit the post.

Episode 76: Cell Phones + Vodka x Dr. Horrible Costumes = The Scope at CONvergence

July 7, 2009  |  Posted by: The Scope

In an unbelievably daring move, your Scope hosts made the cunning decision to cover our annual trek to Minnesota’s biggest sci-fi convention in an unconventional way. This year…we phoned it in…literally (or is that figuratively?) The entire show was delivered via The Scope voicemail line. It’s an uncensored, unfiltered look at four days of geeky fun.

And just to make it interesting, we forced other con-goers besides Jared and Shane to dial in and voice their drunken opinions on all of the festivities.

CONvergence 2009 may be a distant memory, but now you can experience it for the first time (right along with Adam!)

Episode 76 is digging beer pong and the free “zombie snot” shots at the Con.

CONvergence 2009 Recap

July 6, 2009  |  Posted by: Jared

Your Scope hosts survived another CONvergence. I think we all had a lot of fun, and there were many calls into the voicemail line — although how many were not from us or friends of the show remains to be heard.

Although it would be nice to have our special CVG episode posted now for everyone to experience, it’s going to take some time to assemble. No doubt some of the calls will be in need of some audio massage to get them ready to assemble. Please be patient while we put it together for you.

  • Now that we’ve gotten Transformers out of the way, GIJoe is next on the list of destroying Hasbro franchises. Next: My Little Pony. #fb #
  • TF2 falls short of 5-day box office record. Shane and Jared credited for failure by taking The Spielbay Challenge. http://bit.ly/9DKxk #fb #
  • #cvg2009 is almost here! Look for posters at the con for instructions on how you can participate in The Scope’s CONvergence coverage. #fb #
  • @kevthuhu The codpieces we ordered ended up being too small, so sadly, no. #cvg2009 in reply to kevthuhu #
  • J: The Scope Instant Poll: Can you use the word YouTube as a verb? Sound off! #scope #fb #
  • Everyone send a prayer out to @budsharpe. He’s going to have a ton of fun constructing a new Scope show from all the voicemail calls. #fb #

The Scope at CONvergence 2009

July 1, 2009  |  Posted by: The Scope

The Scope will be returning to CONvergence again this year! However, our approach to content will be a little different.

We’ve decided to leverage our voicemail line to give power to the people. We want to hear your stories about CONvergence — prefereably as they happen. Here’s how it works:

CALL US

646-495-9201
Enter 70055 at the extension prompt.

TELL US YOUR CON STORY

Don’t leave out any details.

LISTEN TO THE SHOW

www.thescopeshow.com
twitter.com/thescopeshow

We’re also advertising our “Find These Guys, Win a Prize” campaign. Basically, if you find us at the con, we’ll ask you questions, and you’ll win a cheap prize.

That’s the deal, folks. We hope to see a lot of you there. And remember: the fate of our show relies on you!
