Episode 8: Discussing Disney with Theresa Slabosz Pt 1
In this week’s episode, we sat down with Aaron’s lady friend, Theresa Slabosz, to talk about all things Disney. Theresa LOVES Disney stuff, and spent 6 months as an intern at the Florida parks. We talk about movies, the parks, the TV shows, and yes, a certain frozen head.
The inserted audio clip is from The Dana Gould Hour.
This is part one of a two part episode, and the second part will be available in two weeks.

Don’t forget, if you like the show and you’re an iTunes user, please rate and review us in iTunes. Doing so helps us in the podcast rankings.
We’re also making a change to how we’re distributing the show. This was initially being included in the Everyone’s Got a Thing RSS feed, but I decided that it was working well enough to go ahead and create a separate feed for 2 Guys, a Girl, and a Goblin. I’ll continue to post this show in the everyone’s got a thing feed for the next couple of episodes, but you’ll want to make sure you subscribe to the new feed as soon as you can so you don’t miss any episodes. I’ll remind you all again when the time comes to fully switch the feeds.

Podcasters vs Patent Trolls
For those who don’t follow the ins and outs of patent law (I don’t blame you, a lot of it is really boring stuff), there’s some important stuff happening right now that endangers the future of podcasting. Patent law, and specifically law protecting bad patents, is harming society and the economy, largely because of what are called patent trolls. Patent trolls are companies that file for or purchase patents for the express purpose of suing others for “violating” their patent. To be clear, patent trolls don’t actually produce anything of their own, they just use their patents to get money from other people who do make things. Currently, a patent troll named Personal Audio, LLC is suing several large companies (Apple being one of the more prominent), and sending demands to small companies, all seeking funds for doing nothing. They’re actually suing Adam Carolla’s company as well. I guess because he’s popular?
This company, and many companies like it, threaten the freedom of the Internet, and threaten podcasts like this one. Apple can afford to keep fighting, and I hope they do, but not everyone can. The good news is, the Electronic Frontier Foundation has decided to help, because, as they put it:
As with so many patent troll cases, the troll is asking for money despite having contributed nothing to the industry. By its own admission, Personal Audio tried and failed at its attempt to make an audio player. Having failed at actually making something, it became a shell company that does nothing but sue on its patents. And now it wants a handout from those who worked hard to create popular podcasts.
For those that care about podcasting, or just Internet freedom, it’s important to try to support the EFF as our best chance at defeating this troll. If you can, give some cash, or if you’re broke, give some time; the EFF needs examples of prior art to help bust this patent. (Oops! Looks like the EFF already reached their money goal, but keep giving examples of prior art if you can.)

Episode 7: Turning Japanese with Vicki Nugent Part 2
In this week’s episode, we conclude the conversation I had with Vicki Nugent where we talk about all things Japanese. Vicki studied Japanese culture and language in college and spent several years living and working in Japan. I had a great time talking to Vicki, and she had a lot of interesting stories about her time in Japan. A great episode!
