The Other Side of Midnight - Richard C. Hoagland - Live Chat Thread

[lonevoice]

Well, we don't really know actually. We call it the telethon phone and it's been going since the show started. At first, he ignored it and took it off the hook. Then he answered it and there was no one there. And now someone from Bellgab tried to order a pizza. Who the hell knows man but it sure is funny.

Another time he buried it under a pillow and we could still hear its muffled ringing 

[Spinner]

ok be honest bellgab, do you only listen for the phone ringing or do you listen for that then enjoy the rest of the show?

be honest, won't hurt my feelings

I have been truly enjoying the shows, and I listen until I pass out.
Heck I've been considering going back to the West Coast so that I won't have to stay up so late. 

The phone, chair, and assorted noises just add to the enjoyment.

I must admit that I initially came for the BRAAPS but now that I'm here I'm enjoying the show. I might even call in one day. Need another notch on ye old belt.

[Northcoaster]

My stream keeps cutting out too.

me too

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

I'm getting the same sound bite over and over.

[Royal_Tenenbaum]

There's been at least one episode of open lines every single week and it's always going to be either Wednesday or Thursday

You needed me for your HPL show. I know far more than your guest does.

[boxman]

I had alot of stream issues last night, but so far today there has been no drop outs at all.

[popple]

My stream is holding strong.

[ShayP]

My stream is fine.

[alienated]

two more awesome pieces of lovecraftian artwork.

That top one is great.  The first google result for it is the russian wiki page for catatonic schizophrenia.  lolz

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

Hmm.. I think I need a reboot.

[zeebo]

I think I'm gonna have to give up on this stream tonite.  Bummer, I was just getting into this one too, interesting topic and sounds like a knowledgable guest.  Well hope y'all have better braaps luck and enjoy the show.

You're drinking beer aren't you

Yes .. it's like Bond arriving at home office... seeing Miss Moneypenny, and throwing his hat onto the hat rack.

[ShayP]

RT is back and now Dixon Bawls is MIA. 

[(Sandman) Logan-5]

Anyone else losing the stream?  Mine's dropped like three times already.

My stream's good, but I lost the MITD thread about 4 x earlier.

[SciFiAuthor]

See, this show is a good example. We had the phone craziness, but here we are in a thoughtful interview where Richard's doing a fine job. It's the mix that makes it good.

It's a part of the OSOM mythos. RCH said it's his schtick. We've come to expect it!

[Roswells, Art]

I'm actually in a Lovecraft phase right now so this show is strangely serendipitous.

[SaucyRossy]

My stream is holding strong.

same here!

[ShayP]

You're drinking beer aren't you

LOL! No...but drinking nonetheless.   

[Bradsmith313]

What's with the stream?

[ShayP]

Exactly.

I'm about to drop out, but this would be an amazing show if I cared about the subject. I can tell fans of Lovecraft are in for a treat.

[SciFiAuthor]

My stream is going strong. Must be something with Tunein.

[norland2424]

RT is back and now Dixon Bawls is MIA.

[Bradsmith313]

I'm getting a loop.

[boxman]

Have you people tried the aac stream at the darkmatter website?? I have had absolutely no issues with that one.
