  • Several strokes of genius

    Lance has a very approachable way of dealing with sometimes complex musings, philosophies, observations, and being human which makes his long-standing podcast a real feature in the audio landscape. His subjects vary, as does the sensory nature of each podcast while he brings a shared experience of location to the works. I am impressed by his lack of a script. He has committed the entire podcast to memory before he delivers it. He makes each episode without a single edit. I wish I could do that. ... more

  • Really Interesting Idea for a Podcast - Love It!

    I came across this show after connecting with the host on Twitter - yes, it’s now called “X”, but it’ll always be Twitter to me. Anyhoo… I love the idea behind this show! Having someone just call his best friend, and leave a voicemail that catches the friend up on the host’s life, and the things that have been happening, is a very cool way to tell a story. more

  • A podcasting pioneer

    Podcasting pioneer, Lance Anderson, returns with a unique spin-off of his long running Verge of the Fringe podcast in Verge of the Dude. Funny. Thought provoking. And full of meaning. Lance is an accomplished storyteller and I cannot wait to see where this one goes. Subscribed for sure.
