Gordcast (podcasts)
Now in it's XXth? year, Gordie Adams' Gordcast covers music, comic books, movies, television, memories, nostalgia, current events and whatever else comes up in conversations with friends and sometimes in an informal interview with someone Gordie wants to know more about. Fellow aficionado Paul Bertolino joined as co-host of the Gordcast for the majority of episodes and along the way, Gordie welcomed a roster of special guests. After a hiatus he is back and invites you to hang out with the Gordcast for entertaining conversation and good company. Join us and have fun! Bonus episodes of The Gordcast Shuffle (wherein Gordie and Paul each gave three random spins to their vast music collections and talk in wonderful detail about the songs that show-up) are included in the same feed.
Episode 65 - A Different Strokes Kind Of Truth!

This long delayed episode is so long that it took two weeks to edit.

Gordie and Paul finally get around to hundreds of topics, including: The new VAN HALEN and their recent show at MADISON SQUARE GARDEN and the bulk of the episode is about our dear, departed mentor - Harlan Briedenbach. Harlan was the owner of LOONEY TUNES records, the legendary used record store in NAPA, who brought counter-culture and musical awareness in the seventies. Paul goes to RANDEMONIUM and the MUSEUM OF MOVING IMAGE in NY and Gordie recommends BEING ELMO and reveals his new favorite LP ever.

Paul receives many unexpected packages and Gordie gets a great package from the EOC Holiday Exchange, filled with the smell of old comics and autographs.

Episode 56 - Everything You Always Wanted to Know About DAVID PRICE* (*...But Were Afraid to Ask)

Gordie goes on a nerd blind date with DAVID PRICE from Eleven O' Clock Comics. If you don't like Gordie's voice, this is the one for you. Who knew DAVID could talk non-stop for two hours straight! David tells us about every town he's lived in, how he met RENEE and meeting knuckleheads at comic cons that lead to podcast empires. We both root for the bull, have animal empathy and are oblivious to bi-racial relationship condemnation and sideways glances.  David says he will come back to another GORDCAST for an actual back and forth conversation and Gordie heads to A.P.E.  Another loooong episode, so enjoy!
