In our longest show to date:
Fanfares play and small children scatter rosepetals in its path as the Jackhammer Johnson makes its entrance.
Obscure/crazy Australian would-be aristocrats.
The great muffin-top mystery is finally put to rest.
Listener emails and messages, including an audio message from Saskia of the As Serious As Your Life! podcast.
We also mark the 30th anniversary of a great moment in the history of Oz rock, announce an upcoming new segment, and, in a new Smut Report, talk about backdoor shenanigans (you knew it was only a matter of time).

Okay, I was a little off on the Muffin Top. Still does not sound bad, unless the muffin batter is a little under cooked and dripping over the muffing tin.
Well, got to mosey…Keep up the good work.

I couldn’t quite figure out what you meant by “fudge packer”. Was that some sort of analogy meaning that just as vegemite is harvested and packed for market in the vegemite valley, so too is fudge packed up in a fudge plant? Is there some stereotypical image of fudge packers? God, I wish I spoke Australian.

Oh, dear - I thought that would translate a bit better. Fudge packing is a really tasteless expression for sodomy (that’s just one of the really important things you can learn on Bob’s Yer Uncle!).

I don’t see how any expression that incorporates the word “fudge” could ever be considered tasteless.
By the way, I forgot to mention in my previous comment that there’s actually a simple solution to your voicemail dilemma. Skype has a service called SkypeIn that gives you a voicemail account through a US phone number. You access all your messages through Skype, which makes it very easy to add the audio to your podcast (since it’s already coming through your computer).

Hi Zan and Jana,
I enjoyed the show as usual. No, I didn’t slow my voice down, that’s my real voice. Thanks for the compliment. I liked the length of the show. The Skype idea is quite common with podcasters and I regularly talk to my friends in Australia using the service. I’ll be in touch.

I’m looking into the whole SkypeIn deal. In the meantime, I’ve posted some photos in our new image gallery (linked in the sidebar).
There’s a problem with memory allocation, so you’ll need to backtrack and try again if you get an error message when bringing up large images one after another. I’ll get the problem fixed as soon as I can (if any of you guys happens to be an expert on Gallery2, let me know).

What to do with the Jackhammer Johnson sticker?
During the review, announce it as a prize - signed, of course - for a competition on your site.

Great show, as usual. Zan, you’re right, we had you all envisioned as pustulant masses. Well, you covered *one* of the bases…
Stay great.

Dear Andy,
We, that is Zan and I, do not understand your comment; ie, we are confused. Please explain.
Love Jana

You all preempted my reply. I think what I was trying to say was, “Hubba Hubba.”
cheers!

I’d like to apologize for the mangled English of the first controversial post. Had sobriety been on my side, I probably would have conveyed something more along the lines of:

Hey Zan!
I find it adorable that you felt the need to post pictures of Zana to dispel any misconceptions of her smoking hotness. I have to admit, my mental image of you and Zana, a cute wallaby and a gorgeous Imbruglia-type, respectively, was instantly replaced by an image of a scruffy backwoods lumberjack and a Hippo, respectively, the second I heard the words “muffin-top”.
Kudos to you for clearing that up! Indeed, Zana is bangin’ hot, and I suppose the deafening silence is either the sound of all the boys feeling inadequate, or, pathetically trying to get into her pants the ‘respectful’ route.
Unless Zana is missing a face, she is indeed the most attractive podcast hostess in the business, and I say that with the full intention of stealing her away from you. For what would a beautiful nymph be doing with a backwoods jumberjack?
Regardless, I enjoyed the show muchly and look forward to episode 12!
Cheers!

(clearing up any misconceivable misconceptions)
“misconceptions of her smoking hotness” might sound better as “misconceptions of her as anything but smoking hot”.
Cheers!

I just received a Nigerian e-mail scam e-mail and was so happy that I knew that it was a scam–thanks to the valuable service Bob’s Yer Uncle is providing.
Another North American listener, only I’m female.

Careful, mate, careful…your plans to get around to sodomizing your listeners could well land you in Guantanamo…and Uncle Bob as well, since he sponsors you. Now that I think about it, I think Bush mentions Uncle Bob in one of his speeches. Hmmm…
