Title: The Amp Hour Backwards
Post by: Deamiter on October 05, 2012, 01:19:40 am
I started listening to the Amp Hour three weeks ago and as I wasn't sure I'd find it interesting, I listened to the shows backwards so I could catch recent content instead of rough early shows from years ago.

Now that I've gotten to the last (first actually) ten episodes, I can say without a doubt the show is the best podcast I've ever downloaded, and I'm not looking forward to life at only one episode a week!  It's also getting much better -- the music, banter and content deteriorates noticeably going backwards.

My only gripe (I imagine they're expected around here) is that I can't donate with Dwolla (Dwolla.com).  It allows one to send up to $10 for free and charges just $0.25 above that.  It doesn't require some crazy signup or anything to receive money.

Full disclosure: I do not in any way profit from Dwolla, nor do I know anybody who does.  I just wish I could donate money without giving money to Paypal or credit card companies!

Anyway, thanks for the great show, keep up the good work!

That is strange.  I played the last Amp Hour backwards and heard weird things like.

Eshup  Bliack  Ohm Lied  Surpik blaggat Overload Resistors  Clipop Grapot Blagard Use Cheap Electrolytics  Burdib Plubin.

It scared me so much, I never play them backwards any more.

I think my all-time favorite comment was when Dave said, "I'm not even going to talk about printable electronics any more.  It's pointless!" (paraphrased) way back in episode 54.
