1. #15 - Interesting! http://secretfrequency.libsyn.... download (audio/mpeg, 30.61Mb) Description: "May you live in interesting times. May you come to the attention of those in power. And may you receive everything you ask for." Well, in terms of probably apocryphal Chinese curses, we're batting one-for-three here on the Secret Frequency. But that won't stop us from following the latest news - specifically, the efforts by Representative (and erstwhile Presidential candidate) Dennis Kucinich to impeach the President. Can we say that again? IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT! Think Conyers heard it that time? A few other things we cover on this somewhat-cobbled-together episode:

2. Report from the Infirmary http://secretfrequency.libsyn.... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: I've given many opinions on the Secret Frequency to this point, but I'm not sure I've been as vehement about any of them as I am about this one: CHILDREN SHOULD NOT GO "WOOF". We've been dealing with quite a bit of that of late, and it's...well, I won't go into it... (The Exorcist? Linda Blair? It's kinda like that.) ...except to say that the Frequency has been delayed while we Hey, would a giant robot lie to you? |

3. #14 - Drag Race http://secretfrequency.libsyn.... download (audio/mpeg, 38.94Mb) Description: A mish-mosh of items this time around. Lisa returns to help Steve discuss the Green primaries, Wal-Mart, Jenna's wedding, the Orioles, the U.S. Patent Office, the D.C. Madam, Fox Noise, and conspiracy theories. And all this without getting into women's clothing! (Well, okay, Lisa did. And we think Mark Penn did, too, but don't hold us to that.)

4. #13 - Calling for a Chainsaw http://secretfrequency.libsyn.... download (audio/mpeg, 36.23Mb) Description: It's a solo effort by Steve this time - which is enough to make anyone want to break out the chainsaws. In this episode:
And we hate to do this, but, okay...WARNING! Moral Decline uses some of the Seven Words You Can't Say on TV in this song...and it also has the potential to cause widespread moral panic in these here United States, and may even make people stop watching reality television and start using their brains for something other than a hat rack. "Mah Gawd, Ethel! What'll those subversive, pinko Greens think of next??" And leave comments, people! Mahalo. Sound samples used under a Creative Commons license from The Freesound Project:

5. #12 - Liberty and Union http://secretfrequency.libsyn.... download (audio/mpeg, 41.56Mb) Description: (Apologies to Dan'l Webster for the title...) This episode, an exclusive interview with Sen.

6. #11 - The Real Real Thing http://secretfrequency.libsyn.... download (audio/mpeg, 48.42Mb) Description: Everybody grab a chair when the music stops! In this episode, Mike Gravel ends up with the Libertarian Party, Harry Reid ends up in the smoke-filled room at the back of DNC Headquarters, and random Canadian conservatives end up in their basement fallout shelters, protecting themselves diligently from those durn Green "facists". (Jonah Goldberg, call your office! But do it on the secure Bat-phone - you never know when they might be listening!) Also, music from Vanessa Peters and Ice Cream on Mondays (and thankfully not from Bo Bice!). And finally, Steve delivers an Olbermannesque "special commentary", with music from Blowin' Chunks! Our promo this episode was for One Eighteen: Migration... Other items of note:

7. #10 - Who Let the Cat Out? http://secretfrequency.libsyn.... download (audio/mpeg, 38.86Mb) Description: The Green Party race heats up, with a support statement by Mike Gravel for Jesse Johnson, and Nader's supporters scattering to different candidates. Obama gains the upper hand over Clinton with a YouTube-fave speech, while McCain ponders his choice of running mate...and here at the Frequency, the cat goes ballistic and we try to hook up Lisa with a Green "dream date". Let's just say Edward R. Murrow can rest easy. But in this episode, we take a giant step towards professionalism by firing Magic Voice and instead hiring Dorothy to be our announcer! Also in the show this time:

8. #9 - We're Out of Coffee http://secretfrequency.libsyn.... download (audio/mpeg, 29.88Mb) Description: It's a dark day here at the Secret Frequency, as we've run out of coffee! Steve and Lise stumble through an eclectic mix of news stories, awaiting deliverance by Holy Mike Huckabee, riding aloft on the Ronpaulenberg. Some of the extensive show notes to entertain and enlighten you: Henry Rollins: Henry Rollins tells it like it is... The Wikileaks court decision: The Nader run: Bill Buckley: Triple murder in Atlanta: Holy Mike Huckabee, Batman! Arizona Greens seek the ballot: Plug time! Football...oh, and music, too! This episode's image: Refracted Moments Coffee Beans and Wikimedia Soccer Ball (by Pumbaa80) combined. |

9. Pickled again http://secretfrequency.libsyn.... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: We're re-listed with Podcast Pickle (we were lost in their server crash some time within the last few weeks). All the 'ratings' we had before the crash are wiped. You can help us regain our lost 'cred' by going to the site and writing a review of us there. (A note from Steve: Heck yes! I have a tremendous jonesing for ratings on the Pickle, and I love it when we get ahead of, say, Face the Nation. Take that, MSM!) We've found a lot of good music to share with you, and will be getting our next episode up sometime soon. - Lise |

10. #8 - Back from the Dead http://secretfrequency.libsyn.... download (audio/mpeg, 40.91Mb) Description: When we said we wanted a Green podcast, we didn't mean it to be the color of our gills...but such was the reality of our existence for the past few weeks. We're crawling back to experience the sun and the outdoors once again, and given the state of politics here in the U.S., we're considering just going back to bed and pulling the covers over ourselves once again. Alas, all isn't lost, as we discuss Farpoint and our adventures bringing the Green message to the science fiction crowd...plus we cover the Green primaries and who has the lead there and in which states...plus some extended discussion of Ralph Nader. And there's music in this episode! Come hear the first of our acquisitions from the Podsafe Music Network, and sway to the peace-driven tones of Dan Coyle! A big shout to our fellow podcasters at Farpoint:

12. Sick and Tired II http://secretfrequency.libsyn.... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: Now I'm beginning to recover, and Steve is running a fever. We'll try to put together something from the cutting room floor and some podsafe music as soon as we can. -Lise |

13. Sick and Tired http://secretfrequency.libsyn.... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: As Super Tuesday bears down on us, the sanctity of our secret headquarters has been violated - by the flu. Yes, in circumstances worthy of a John Edwards stump speech, my dear wife is reduced to short bouts of playing silly, unchallenging computer games before coughing her head off and weakly croaking for more chicken soup. And I, the son of a mill worker, am forced to care for her without -- oh, wait, sorry...took it a bit too far. Anyway, we'll have news soon after Super Tuesday, updating the Republican, Democratic, and Green races and other substantive topics (Hint: Kent Mesplay beats Mitt Romney on hairstyle alone!) In the meantime, you might enjoy pointing your browser at The Hidden Message, our somewhat related blog site. It isn't all politics, but it is all us...and Lise even manages to make a few entries, given that - thankfully! - she doesn't have to talk. (Also, consider donating to the Frequency!

14. #7 - Brent McMillan Interview http://secretfrequency.libsyn.... download (audio/mpeg, 30.70Mb) Description: This episode: our first interview ever! Our guest is Brent McMillan, Political Director of the Green Party of the United States. What are the Greens up to in 2008? Have they gotten elected to local races - and what happens when they do? And how does the top strategist at the national office deal with all that "spoiler" blather? Tune in and find out. Hey, gotta be better than waiting for Hardball to cover the story. |

15. #6 - At Least the Sweater Isn't Green http://secretfrequency.libsyn.... download (audio/mpeg, 43.65Mb) Description: (What can we say? Huffington Post already took the obvious title.) In a fit of catastrophically poor decision-making that ranks down there with Bill Clinton's getting a haircut on a runway, Steve decided to record this extra-length episode with both of his co-hosts. Unwilling to stop with substantive political commentary, and fueled by a spike in estrogen representation, the Frequency records its first detour into Presidential candidates' couture, as Clinton adviser Howard Wolfson's sweater is contrasted with Cynthia McKinney's shawl as a fashion faux pas. (Hint: one was hideous; the other was a Green.) And speaking of poor decisions, you'll enjoy the amusement of comparing predicted primary winners to reality in the upcoming few days. (If Nevada - or is it Ne-vaaah-dah? - is any indication, they should stick to sweaters...) As the MSM isn't too sharp at covering candidates who aren't duopoly-approved, the Secret Frequency is also proud to provide links to video clips of the San Francisco debate, an uninterrupted audio recording of the entire thing, and video highlights of the earlier debate in Minneapolis between Jesse Johnson and Kat Swift. Plus, be sure to vote in the SF's Green Presidential Poll! Also, Lise plugs Brenda Dayne's Cast On, and just to prove we aren't the only ones with too much time on our hands, there's now a conspiracy theory regarding the sweater. No, really. With co-hosts Lise Mendel and Lisa Kramer. Starring Ron Paul and His Blimp-Propelled Orchestra, coming to you tonight from the Giuliani Reinforced Bunker and Cocktail Room in Disney World! Featuring special guest Ralph Nader holding up the back wall... |

16. Flying away... http://secretfrequency.libsyn.... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: Steve is about to fly west to the Green Party debate in San Francisco. He's going there with the Johnson campaign, but we're hoping he'll be able to switch hats long enough to get some material for the Frequency. In either case, we've got an interview with Brent McMillan, political director of the GPUS, which will be coming soon. So stay tuned! - Lise |

17. #5 - Batter Up! http://secretfrequency.libsyn.... download (audio/mpeg, 34.45Mb) Description: It's opening day for politicians, as the Republocrats conduct the Iowa caucuses (i.e. batting practice for nominees), while the Green candidates - and yes, we do have them! - freeze it out in Minneapolis before heading for the next debate in San Francisco. Steve and guest host Lise Mendel analyze the Iowa results, introduce the world to the Green candidates, and try to figure out what Ralph Nader's gonna do next. Be sure to take the SF's Green Presidential poll, the only one of its kind - now with instant runoff voting!

18. #4 - Heated GOP Gasbags http://secretfrequency.libsyn.... download (audio/mpeg, 29.30Mb) Description: Our fourth episode, with some more special, loving attention to the GOP. You'll hear about a demented south Florida clergyman's opinion of Hillary Clinton, and the aerial adventures of pseudo-libertarian "Stormfront Ronnie" Paul (so named for his recent acceptance of a campaign contribution from the white supremacist Website of that name). With guest host Lisa Kramer. Links for this show: |

19. Holiday Madness http://secretfrequency.libsyn.... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: For once, the Frequency was completed on time - in fact, I have plenty of material at this point. However, audio and technical issues - not to mention the running about associated with the holidays, which tends to take one away from the mixing board - have prevented it from being published quite yet. Never fear, Secret Squadron! The Frequency will be out very soon, for your dancing and dining pleasure. We'll be attempting to hit the Series of Tubes before Christmas...and speaking of which, have a safe, peaceful, and Green Christmas! |

20. More Creative Commons Goodies http://secretfrequency.libsyn.... download (, 0.00Mb) Description:
The microphone in this badge has been used in a number of creative commons webpages, and was originally an iTunes icon, but I cannot verify the license (since I'm running Win98 and can't use iTunes). I'm calling it 'fair use', and putting it under the same CC license. It's meant for the use of anyone who wants to designate hirself (him/herself) as a Green Party Voter. I hope you enjoy them. -Lise

21. Green Podcasting Button http://secretfrequency.libsyn.... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: As far as I know, there is no 'Green Podcast' directory or community (yet), so I'm going to jump right in and start a blogroll. Here is a 'Green Podcast' badge to use, and share. Download it, put it on your own server, add it to your cast and link it to this entry - http://secretfrequency.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=287256 -(for the time being). Put a link to your podcast in the comments here, and make sure there's a way for me to contact you. I'll add a link to your show in the sidebar. Once I've got a few shows, I'll start up a s-i-m-p-l-e webpage (or a free blog) and give everyone the url. When someone comes along to do a green podcast directory 'right' they'll have a tidy collection of 'casts to invite, and can let you know where to redirect the link to. Sound good? - Lise |
