Gordcast
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.
Gordcast Episode 13 - Accidental Threesome! The great experiment in Gordcast land. Paul Bertolino joins Gordie at the Roasting Company to hang out and document the roasting process. Tony Rabin shows up unannounced to join in on the fun.
Paul finally finds a current TV show he likes, Tony is mistaken for Trevor Rabin, explains Gumby to his wife and Gordie ruins coffee for quality control. They all discuss Sid & Marty Krofft, the KISS solo LP's which segues into The White Album and Tony won't stop with The Beatles already. Finally we "wrap" with auto erotic asphyxiation.

Gordcast Episode 11 - This One Goes To Eleven! Tom Beland is back for a long awaited and much delayed episode. Gordie explains what the R.F.D. stands for in the old Andy Griffith show, doesn't lock his car and re-visits The Death Of Gwen Stacy (yet again.)  Tom forges a friendship with his old mail carrier waiting for F.O.O.M. to arrive, wears Spider-man shirts, rants about Napa bookstores (...and their wine-centric displays) and explains how Star Trek is far superior to Star Wars.

Gordcast Episode 12 - Downtown! Paul Bertolino is guest editor for the first on-location episode of Gordcast where Gordie and Paul meet in downtown Napa.  They wander around with a laptop and a camera, checking out what little is left of their hometown, before settling on a shady place where the infamous clock tower once stood.  An old friend happens by for an unplanned cameo. We learn that Gordie doesn't like cats, Paul doesn't like dogs and neither of them like Sting. What more could you ask for?

Gordcast Episode 10 - Gord and Paul, Proud As A Peacock! Gordie and Paul talk about 70's Television, collecting toys and other crap in the 90's and how awesome Susan Boyle is. Gordie tells of Saint Helena wildlife and finally getting the answer to the name of that record store downtown. Paul relaxes on the Berkeley campus and waxes rhapsodic about the M.A.S.H theme song.
This one was fun      ...and make sure to listen all the way to the end.

Gordcast Episode 9 - The Return of Miss B! Bridget Hines triumphantly returns, telling stories of ways to poison yourself internally and externally, raising her little Omen child properly and scraping ice off her windshield with a LEGO. Gordie remembers the wooden spoon as punishment, an old 16mm religious/circus film ("Parable" ~ 1964) and has a hard time with Bridget's last name.

Gordcast Episode 8 - Paris Is  Burning! Paul Bertolino is back from Paris, France and he tells of cemetery flashers at Jim Morrison's grave, his burial preference and that he likes two U2 songs. Gordie discovers Bob Dylan, remembers Mister Grobl and can't listen to Bruce Dickinson other than Number of The Beast. And of course, more old Napa talk. (Clock Tower memories)

Gordcast Episode 7 - Tom Beland, Swear To God! This one is for the comic book fans. (...but not exclusively) 
Tom Beland finally joins me to talk about comics, comics, comics.
Gordie admits that he isn't exactly sure where Puerto Rico is on a map. Tom tells of sharing Gwen Stacy's death at the dinner table, how Alan Moore intimidates him and that he couldn't write a Kang story if you paid him. This is a longer than usual episode and we get very silly and rambly, so have fun!

(At 1:21 I missed an edit and am too lazy to go back and fix it right now, so skip to 1:23 or enjoy the song.)

Gordcast Episode 6 - Who Do You Trust! Paul Bertolino and Gordie begin by talking about The Who and slowly degenerate into other things as usual. Gordie loves the Tommy film regardless of how horrid it is. Paul tells stories of collecting Who vinyl in thrift stories and as usual, we talk about  Napa memories. We end with shout-outs to our dedicated listeners (...authenticated listeners, that is.)

Gordcast Episode 5 - Ambush! Bridget Rickerson gets fooled into being the first female co-host of The GordCast. Under the guise of "trying out" Skype, I talk to Bridget for the first time in 20+ years.
Bridget reveals her experience with the neighborhood KISS fanatic and subsequent escape, her husband's man-cave and Napa memories. Gordie laughs a lot and hears in detail, the night Bridget's parents were out of town.

Gordcast Episode 4 - The First KISS! Paul Bertolino joins me once again, in our first all KISS podcast. We tell stories of our earliest memories and exposures to The Frightful Four and how we were shaped by them. Gordie tells of his first actual kiss and his smooth ways of getting it done and we compare "KISS restrictions"
Most likely there will be a few all KISS episodes, but this is the first. Enjoy!
