Episode 54: CONvergence 2008 – Lean, Mean Podcasting Machines
July 7, 2008 | Posted by: The Scope
Once again, The Scope packs up and heads to Minnesota’s most exciting geek convention. We may not have all the fancy bells & whistles of our typically awesome show, but we do have interviews with: Superman, Wonder Woman, long-time listeners Nicky and Gary, some dude named “Luke Ski,” and a random convention goer.
Oh, if you listen closely, you can hear the faint sound of horror from Adam’s longtime girlfriend as she participates in her first CONvergence ever. It is, as they say, a beautiful thing.

Scope Potpourri: Oscars, MarsCON, Next Show -Updated
March 2, 2008 | Posted by: The Scope
It’s been a busy three weeks for your Scope hosts. Adam has been toiling away at his new job, Jared has been busily preparing for and performing at MarsCON 2008, and Shane has beaten one full level of Call of Duty 4. So all in, all, a lot has been accomplished.
That being said, we’ve got some unfinished business to cover as well as disseminate a little bit of Scope news. Let’s begin.
THE SCOPE OSCAR PICKING COMPETITION
Even without picking any of the female acting categories, frequent contributor to the show, Molly, picked five of seven categories correctly. Congratulations, Molly! You truly are the entertainment expert..for 2007.THE SPECIAL SCOPE MARSCON 2008 SHOW
…it never happened. While we had big plans to make a big splash at the convention, we failed to follow through. To quote Marsha Brady, “Something suddenly came up.” And that something involved whisky drinks, lager drinks, vodka drinks, and cider drinks. We promise we’ll cover the MarsCON comings and goings in the next Scope episode!THE NEXT SCOPE EPISODE!
When will we record and post it? We plan on heading back into the Scope subterranean studios to record a show that will be available March 17th! But until then, check out an older show, visit the brand new Possible Oscar site, and flood us with comments and questions! You know you want to.Thanks, everybody.
Sincerely,
Your Scope HostsCategory: Miscellaneous, News | Time: 11:22 pm (CST) | Comments: 3 |
