Last week’s show didn’t happen, thanks to some technical glitches on Talkshoe. We’re back again tonight with another episode of SecondHand Radio.

The Penguin People meet Captain Kirk. That's Marty on the left, Mrs. Marty on the right.

My guest is none other than Mr. Marty Mankins, author of Banal Leakage and Twitterer extraordinaire. I’ve had the pleasure of hanging with Marty (and Mrs. Marty) more than once…TequilaCon, Avitaween…good times. Marty is witty, smart, and loves his Snowy Sundays (Utah gets that white stuff) and Scooter Sundays.

You should call in and ask Marty your computer questions – he LOVES answering that shit. OK, I’m kidding. If you do that, he’ll likely punch you in the junk. I’m sure he’d love to talk to you about most anything else, though.

Happy Birthday, Angel!

Happy Birthday to my bud, the lovely Angel, aka CheekySweetie. Fresh home from Vegas, she continues to smash through obstacles by starting school today. I feel honored to have the woman in my life, and hope her day is phenomenal.

The Amazing Sybil Law

And that brings me to yet another great lady, Sybil Law, who is my guest tonight on SecondHand Radio. Put her on my People-That-Live-Too-Fucking-Far-Away List. I don’t get to see her nearly often enough. I mean, the woman spelled my name with her ass!

Funny, smart, snarky, and gorgeous, I think you’ll agree that Sybil rocks it. And you can find out just how much when she joins me again this evening for another hour of fun talk and call-in action.

My guest tonight on SecondHand Radio is my bud, Mic Duggan, stand-up comic and graphic artist. I’ve known Mic for over 25 years now…yikes! Mic lives in Los Angeles and is a regular at comedy clubs all over the area. He also created the brand new header graphic for SecondHand Tryptophan’s upcoming redesign (coming soon, I swear).

Looking forward to lots of laughs tonight. If you want to find Mic on Twitter, he’s @MicDuggan.

Oh, and there’s Mic and I (and another high school bud, Chris) in L.A. a couple of years ago.

Fresh from the heels of SillyBring comes another episode of SecondHand Radio. My guest tonight was here in Sebring last weekend for the prestigious event: Cissa Fireheart. There we are above, enjoying the festivities. Cissa regaled us with several songs at the Why Not Lounge on Saturday.

No karaoke tonight, just lots of fun chat. Here’s the scoop.

Dear readers,

It's Sunday. Go outside or to the beach or to church or something, but get off the computer! This post isn't for you anyway.

Dear advertisers and PR people:

I have this little online radio show that I co-hosted with the lovely and talented Miss Britt. We've been on hiatus for a while, but we're contemplating bringing it back occasionally.

The show itself is almost inconsequential, though, compared to the audience that has grown through Facebook. As you can see from the widget below, the fan page for our radio show has almost 450,000 fans. Every post that we put on our page's wall gets over 100,000 impressions within 24 hours, and well over 200,000 impressions over two weeks.

I don't post ads on my blog (although maybe someday I will, if I redesign and necessity demands it), and I don't do link exchanges either. I rarely do product reviews and sponsored posts aren't my thing. But marketing your product or service to our half a million fans? That's the type of whoredom I'm willing to embrace wholeheartedly.

What would you like to say to half a million people all at once and how much is it worth to you? I'm only going to allow one post per week, so draft your proposal carefully!

My email address is my first name at my last name dot com. Can't wait to hear from you!

It’s Thursday, so you know what that means. No, not The Mentalist or Private Practice. Those are reruns today, anyway.

I’m talking SecondHand Radio! Live call-in show, chatroom to play around in, ability to call in and talk to me and my guest. I think you should be there.

Tonight, my guest is Sarah from Sarah & the Goon Squad. You can find her on Twitter @GoonSquadSarah. Sarah and I have lots in common. She has eyes, I have eyes. She likes beer, I like beer. She has twins, I have twins. She thinks I rock, I like that she thinks I rock. It’s the Circle of Life, people.

Showtime: 10:00 PM EST, 9PM Central, 8PM Mountain, 7PM Pacific. Chatroom opens 15 minutes before showtime.

My guest this evening is none other than Hilly herself, one of my oldest blogging buds. That’s her and I in the photo, just before she left Florida and went back to The C.A.

It’s Hilly’s first time on the show in quite a while and there’s no telling what we’ll talk about. Being back in California, television, love…the possibilities are endless.

Tonight on SecondHand Radio, my guest is the lovely and nude Naked Jen! I met Jen at BlogHer ‘09 in Chicago. Actually, the first time I saw her, she was, well, naked. Paraded herself in all her glory down the escalator, through the hotel lobby, and got cheered the whole way.

I thought, “I really need to meet this woman.” She’s totally taken my Dancing in My Boxers idea to the ultimate level. While I’ve been naked on my blog, I don’t know that I have the guts Jen has.

She’s also a vegetarian, into the homeopathic scene, and loves dogs. We’re gonna have a great time chatting and I hope you can join us.

SillyBring Details

For those that are coming to Sebring for SillyBring on April 24, I’ve got a few hotels I can recommend.

We’ll probably be out and about doing stuff during the day on Saturday, then going to a watering hole for the evening.

HOTELS

Holiday Inn Express

La Quinta

Residence Inn

Quality Inn and Suites

They’re all within 5-10 minutes of each other (and me).

If you’re driving in, it’s pretty much a given you’re coming in on 27…that’s the main drag here. If you’re flying in (first of all, you’re nuts) then Orlando International is closest (airport code MCO). Tampa (TPA) is next closest.

Any questions? Email me (or text if you have my number). Or Twitter. Whatever, it’s easy to find me.

So far, we have 6 confirmed. If you’re coming, be sure to let me know.

It’s time for SecondHand Radio to return from the holidays, and tonight is the very first show of 2010. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed because my guest is none other than the Queen of Diplomacy herself, the Bubblewench!

Shannon is a dear friend who I always enjoy being around, and this is her first appearance on 2HRadio. A northern gal through and through, she’s bombastic, hilarious, and genuine. She’s also known for saying things out loud that most of us think but don’t have the balls to say. Once or twice, saying such things has gotten her in a little trouble, but it’s one of the things I love about her.

Shannon is also my Prick Buddy, which we’ll discuss tonight, too. It’s all about the Year of Resolutions.

I don’t often tweak the show time around, but Shannon is someone I’ve wanted on the show for a while and she works crazy early hours and shit. So tonight I make an exception and we start an hour early.

Yes, tonight’s show starts at 9:00 PM Eastern, 6:00 PM Pacific.

The phone number is 724-444-7444, Call ID 23738. You can call in just to say hi to Bubblewench, ask her a question, or talk about your New Year’s resolutions. Whatever.

I highly recommend that you go to my SecondHand Radio info page, register at Talkshoe.com and download the Talkshoe client (though not required, I think it’s a superior chatroom experience).

Tell all your friends. And if you have trouble getting into the show for some reason, feel free to call in and you can listen on the phone that way. I can leave you on mute, if you prefer.

Showtime: 9PM EST, 8PM CST, 7PM Mountain, 6PM Pacific (and that’s 2:00 AM GMT)
