76- Discovering a LOST Adventure
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 8:20 — 5.4MB) | Embed
I just published episode 48 of We Have To Go Back Podcast which is the LOST podcast I do with my wife. We love LOST. We love LOST so much that when we found out last fall that a get together was being planned in Honolulu for the 10th anniversary of the LOST premiere, we immediately started making plans to attend the event.
This is a big deal for us for several reasons. We’ve never traveled anywhere together for a fan gathering before. Yes, I’ve gone to several comic-cons, but Kari has never had any interest in those. Kari doesn’t really like to travel. We’re taking the kids along with us on the trip. This is a big deal because we’ve never taken a family vacation before. We never took a family vacation when I was a kid, so this will be my first family vacation ever.
We’ll also be extending our stay so that we can take our time and really enjoy the island and time together. We’ve reserved a condo that’s on the 35th floor and has an unobstructed view of Diamondhead and beautiful views of the ocean. As you can imagine, there are cheaper vacations that we could take, but none of them will include the LOST experience.
I’ve said it before, although not on this podcast, that LOST change my life. I know that sounds dramatic, but it did. In fact, it’s safe to say that without LOST, you would not be listening to this podcast today. Despite what you may think, I really don’t watch a lot of TV. At any given time there are 2, maybe 3 shows that I watch per week. If I’m podcasting about it, of course, I’m watching it. Right now I’m watching LOST via Bluray, Alias via Netflix, and Falling Skies live each week on TNT.
That’s the way it’s always been for us. We may talk about TV a lot, but that does not mean that we watch a lot of it. Before LOST came along, TV was not really important. We watched it, of course, but casually. I can’t even tell you a single show we watched before it with any regularity. And then we saw the previews for LOST. It looked really good. I mean, really, really good. So we made it a point to make sure we were in front of the TV, tuned to ABC at 7pm central on Wednesday, September 22, 2004. Except for the day our son was born, October 13, 2004, we never missed watching an episode live. Read More…
WHTGB 48-Namaste and He’s Our You
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:09:20 — 41.0MB) | Embed
In episode 48 of We Have To Go Back Podcast we take a look back at LOST season 5 episodes 9 & 10, “Namaste” and “He’s Our You.” In “Namaste” we see Sawyer, Juliet, and Jin work to help Jack, Hurley, and Kate blend in to the DHARMA Initiative, while trying to keep Sayid safe. Sayid, however, does not have any interest in joining up with the DHARMA Initiative. Radzinski thinks that Sayid has seen too much, and pushes to have him killed. Meanwhile, in 2007 Sun and Lapidus meet up with Christian Shepard and he tells them that Jin and the others are in 1977.
In “He’s Our You,” we see the events that led to Sayid getting on Ajira flight 316, and how he struggles with the reality that he is good at killing things. They take Sayid to the DHARMA torturer and he tells them the truth, but it’s too outrageous for them to actually believe. When Sayid sees an opportunity to kill a young Ben Linus, he sees that as his purpose for being brought back to the island. Read More…

“You have failed this city!”
It was nice to hear that again, wasn’t it?
Podcast Overlord was out inspecting the S.T.A.R. Labs and we, therefore, have a special guest co-host today. She goes by… “Miss Ice.”
Even though The Podcast Overlord wasn’t present, his contribution to this episode was alerting us to the fact that TODAY the CW announced season premiere dates for the Fall shows! Once again, we have to wait until OCTOBER for the next season of Arrow. October 8th, to be exact. Arrow will be premiering at 8/7C on October 8th, followed by an encore of THE FLASH so there is NO excuse not to tune in for the DC superhero madness!
The Shadow and Miss Ice take over this episode and bring you the following:
1) Shout out to Golden Spiral Media and new shows!!
2) Arrow Squad was listed in iTunes New and Noteworthy thanks to YOU, Arrow Squad!!!! SO EXCITING!!!! CONGRATULATIONS TEAM!!!!
3) The general idea behind going back through Arrow Season 1, episodes 1-4 and looking at it through the lens of having seen both Seasons 1 and 2. SPOILER WARNING if you’re watching Arrow Season 1 for the FIRST TIME.
4) The actual take on Season 1, episodes 1-4. The Shadow and Miss Ice discuss some interesting thoughts on these four episodes. Read More…
74- The Beautiful View of a Happy Accident

About 10 years or so ago I was working at the bookstore and I had just been promoted and given the responsibility of organizing the e-commerce operations for the company. Our company had its own distribution warehouse and it was designed to send one massive order to each store every week. It was not at all designed to send several small orders to customers all over the country every day.
We knew that it would take a lot of work to scope out the features of the website, build the databases, design the front end, design and connect all of the APIs and hooks into our inventory management system, and many other things that would be necessary before we could start selling online. We decided that while that stuff was being done, we could go ahead and generate some income and learn some operational procedures by selling on third party marketplaces like eBay and Amazon.
Amazon had a third party sellers conference each year and we thought it would be good for us to attend. Since I’d only been at my current position for about 3 months and I was working closely with the president of the company, we decided that both of us would attend the conference.
I had never been to Seattle before, or anywhere in the Pacific Northwest for that matter. I was really looking forward to the trip. I had mixed feelings about traveling with the company president. On one hand, he and I got along really well and had a good rapport, on the other hand, I was apprehensive about it. I didn’t know if he ever took the tie off and relaxed, or if he would be working the entire time we were there. I wanted to see a few things while we were there, but I knew that business duties had to come first. Read More…
