Gordcast (general)
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 61 - Happy  Life Day!

It's Pauls birthday so we sit down and talk for another rollicking GORDCAST. Paul does a little record shopping (shocking!) that leads to THE WHO's - QUADROPHENIA boxset. JETHRO TULL, ELTON JOHN, ROB ZOMBIE, JOHN LENNON and DIMEBAG DARRELL all show up too. Gordie checks out the temporary ice rink in downtown Napa and gives a postal update. The real gem of the night is talking about THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL from 1978, after being reminded of it from the EOC SKYPE N' DRAW night. (Featuring an excerpt from that conversation)

We close out with feelings of this time of year and unfortunately, black Friday madness.
