Interscription - Beta 1

Interscription - Beta 1

Fans of betas? Abusive use of a soundboard? Like your podcasts without intros or structures while your hosts figure out how to podcast? You've come to the right place. In this pre-launch episode, Tim and Rich talk Tunic, the possibility of Microsoft adding a family plan to Gamepass, Sony's new streaming offering and more. We also smash the applause button for ourselves a few times to make sure it works. Interscription is a Tech, Gaming, and Culture podcast by two podcasters with kids, careers and a love of all things creative content. We're basically doing what we'd be doing anyway - yammering on about all the things we love, but we hit the record button.

Harping on the Dunes

Harping on the Dunes

In this broad episode we talk about the new Dune and the hope that they actually finish it next time. We also talk about the Marcodi Harpejji a beautiful Frankenstein monster of a keyboard a guitar and a cheese board.

A Quest For Multiplatform

A Quest For Multiplatform

This week's pod finds us discussing Xbox's gentle brushing against multiplatform experiences, and a quick stop in Meta's Verse to see how their Vision of the future might yield fruit.

Spatial Trumpeting

In episode 2 of our new season, Rich dives deep on physical modeling instruments as part of his goal to avoid samples on hit upcoming album. We swim along with swam, and touch on the unavoidable elephant on everyone's face, the Apple Vision Pro, digesting the early reviews, some of which seem stunningly level-headed (a challenge for both Apple products and reviewing heavy things you wear on your face).

Higher Resolution

In our New Years' episode we kick off season 3 by discussing our plans for the upcoming year. We are reconfiguring Interscription to support our passion projects in music and gaming production. We'll have regular updates, talk about plugins, tools, technique and industry, and still cover the things we love. Thanks for staying on this road with us!

We have pushed through mountains of turkey and sweet potato casserole to bring you this week’s episode, listeners! Rich and I are occupying the same physical room for this week’s show, covering two topics: the role of digital audio workstations in modern music rendering, and a video-free unboxing of a Legion Go...LIVE and ON AIR.

It is factual that mobile gaming is still gaming, and this week we’re playing with words in a whole new light as Rich and I trade mobile word games live! Marvel fatigue also continues to be real, and a not-so-gentle reminder that iMessage is just better, and your faith is just not strong enough.

The Wonder of Mankind's Discovery

The Wonder of Mankind's Discovery

Is Star Trek too silly? Does watching old people on TV suck? Are drugs bad for you? And how many emails are too many? Rich and I attempt to answer these questions, but mostly have discovered that coffee is probably the answer to all questions, and if it isn’t, keep drinking boys and girls! Covering Star Trek Discovery, For All Mankind, Super Mario Wonder and More!

After I traversed a nearly unhealthy amount of the Northeast this week, it’s time to settle down in front of a microphone and talk about portable gaming. Rich regales us with a Legion of where handheld gaming can Go given enough sweat equity and kitchen sink. And rich people towns have been measured and found wanting! (Lenovo Legion Go Review)

One Funky Awakening in Philly (The Continental, The Changeling, Alan Wake 2)

One Funky Awakening in Philly (The Continental, The Changeling, Alan Wake 2)

In the spirit of Halloween (the original one, not the retail store), we’ve reanimated Rich over a dose of Nyquil and spooky Eagles green to get a quick and dirty podcast about a few things we’ve been watching and experiencing this past week. Join us as we chat about assassins, baby stealers and scary writers, and maybe just a touch too much football.

Kill ‘Em With Kindness (Meta Quest 3, Talk To Me, PS5 Slim)

Kill ‘Em With Kindness (Meta Quest 3, Talk To Me, PS5 Slim)

After a brief and unexpected hiatus from the airwaves, we have returned to your weekly experience, dear listeners! Our journey this week takes us through a pair of puzzle (and sometimes puzzling) games, a horror movie with Those Damned Kids in it, and a PS5 price increase, all leading to some commentary on Meta’s new VR/AR headset.

Who wrote Doug Burgum? (Republican Debate, The Continental, No One Will Save You)

Who wrote Doug Burgum? (Republican Debate, The Continental, No One Will Save You)

There is little question that our world would be a fair bit better if it were filled with all assassins, all aliens or all pirates, but instead we have too many politicians. Rich and I discuss The Continental, No One Will Save You, and One Piece on our media consumption tour, and take some time to meander about the 2nd Republican Debates, as well as a few moments on the WGA strike victory.

Copilot Week (Microsoft Leaks, Tokyo Games Showcase, Surface and Copilot Announcements)

Copilot Week (Microsoft Leaks, Tokyo Games Showcase, Surface and Copilot Announcements)

It is with great pains that I bring you the news of the week, gentle listenership – we're talking about Microsoft stuff for a whole damned hour! Our topics du jour include a mammoth leak of pending plans for the Xbox division, a few notable announcements from the Tokyo Games Showcase, the Surface-but-totally-AI event in NYC this week, and a quick mention of ActiBlizzard fun.

Titanium Tapping - "Apple's Wanderlust Event 2023"

Titanium Tapping - "Apple's Wanderlust Event 2023"

While we did not take a break from watching television and movies this week, our ever-objective gaze was cast primarily on the Apple Wanderlust press event for 2023, where we were reminded that people wearing smartwatches are alive because of it, that tapping is the new swiping, and that a customizable button is as new and fresh as a USB-C port. Oh and Mother Nature is Octavia Spencer for five minutes.

"Mariah Carey vs. Free Jazz" - Beau is Afraid and Starfield Early Review

"Mariah Carey vs. Free Jazz" - Beau is Afraid and Starfield Early Review

It’s a double header of engrossing (or just grossing)content, as Rich and I discuss Beau Is Afraid along with this week’s full release of Bethesda’s Starfield. We also briefly pause to give our reviews of soccer weather, Jackson Pollock paintings, and John Wick 4’s law enforcement problem, most of which are topics we are quite qualified to discuss!

"Tree Monkeys on Nitrous Oxide" - Starfield, Bramble and Hijack

"Tree Monkeys on Nitrous Oxide" - Starfield, Bramble and Hijack

Well met, Star Travelers! We take to the cosmos this week on a path towards this week’s early access release of Starfield. I spend a few moments exploring Nordic mythology in my review of Bramble: The Mountain King, and we stare dreamily into Idris Elba’s eyes while appreciating the romp that is Hijack. And we’ve finally answered the question: are they gay?

Back in the land of proper professional audio, Rich and I relish in the extraordinary headroom and high fidelity of good gear to bring you this week’s episode. We take a few moments to chat about Avatar 2, stop off in Cologne, Germany for Gamescom 2023, and express rage and disappointment at Sony stealing another of Microsoft’s moves.

Another week of jam-packed schedules and alternative methods of recording is in store for us all, but Rich and I managed to bring it all together! With precious little media consumption time this week, I managed to eek out a viewing of Sisu, and Rich dances with angels and titans. Also, as my son said so many years ago, “Texas is damned hot.”

MySomerville Network

MySomerville Network

May it always be said that we are here for the work! Rich is in the field this week and recording amidst technical hurdles to bring you the best in podcasting entertainment! We continue a bit of Star Trek Discovery banter, and explore which is more WTF: Somerville or The Black Tower.

Indictment, Insurrection & Isaacs

Indictment, Insurrection & Isaacs

It's a week of Discovery here on the Interscription pod, full of learnings on the inner workings of our political systems in the United States, Cintra and Nilfgard. I finally crack into Star Trek Discovery, and a week of completed seasons of shows are discussed, culminating in a pine-e promise to watch the Barbie Movie before we reconvene.

Live In The Studio

Live In The Studio

This week’s particular stretch of podcast road is done LIVE and IN PERSON, with Rich and I winging it on bellies full of burger and brew. Topics include just how zany Strange New Worlds can get, and a staggeringly deep dive on the form factors available to us on the new crop of foldable phones introduced at this year’s Samsung Unpacked 2023.
