Lots of interest this week in the PodShow/Sirius story. I have my thoughts and you can hear them in this episode. It’s also the last few days at my job before I embark on my new adventure for MediaTrust. [...]

Yesterday I put out a call for information regarding this show (and the rest of the Adam Curry’s PodShow lineup) being removed from the Sirius schedule. Later last night PodShow issued a statement to its producers about the situation. I’ll fill you guys in tonight on the show. It should be up by 7:00 PM [...]

Most of you are aware that American Cliche has been carried on Sirius Satellite Radio for the last 10 months or so. This has been possible through my deal with Adam Curry’s PodShow (to which I am under contract). Today, however, it came to my attention that the PodShow lineup is nowhere to be found [...]

Over the last few years, I’ve been generally able to get press access to most events.

This was a tough show to prepare. It is a constant struggle to walk the line between respect for what happened at Virginia Tech, and also offer you 30 minutes of escapism from the barrage of death on CNN. [...]

Two of the biggest threats to our society are McDonalds and Osama bin Laden. They’re images that have become ingrained in our everyday life. My friend Manuel is a photographer and graphic designer (some of his best work includes the header of the American Cliche site). He has created a mash-up of sorts with these [...]

I had to make a change to the AC #93 file yesterday and do a repost. It doesn’t seem to have done anything weird to the system, but please let me know if you have problems getting the latest show.

On an unrelated note, our email notification system has been screwy the last few days. Many [...]

Are you all using Twitter? I don’t know how to explain it fully, but it’s basically like a mini-blog. I update mine 3 or 4 times a day and you see it at: twitter.com/americancliche. You can also receive my updates via mobile phone or IM if you like. I’m still trying to decide if it’s [...]

You can almost feel my germs infecting you through the microphone…my God, I haven’t coughed like that in a long time – you got to witness the whole thing. At any rate, I toyed with the idea of not even [...]
