VINTAGE SPACE TOAST PODCASTAYLPSE MIAMI!

The fourth seal of the Roboplastic Apocalypse shatters like a brittle roll of South Floridian microfilm as I record the Podcastalypse during Vintage Space Toast Tour Miami! Thrill to the adventures of the Nostrodomatron as I try to figure out why people who live in Florida don't all their spend time at the library looking at old newspaper ads of 25 year old toy robots.

THIS IS WHAT NPR WOULD SOUND LIKE IF ALL THEY TALKED ABOUT WAS TOY ROBOTS

I was thinking the other day about how the podcastoscape just doesn't have enough shows about 25 year old toy robots that are recorded at the library. I was also thinking about how very difficult it is to relate the thrill and excitement of staring at a microfilm scanner for nine hours in a blog post. Then the idea hit me to take the Podcastalypse on the road so that I could share with you, my fellow Macrocranians, my hobby that is equal part excitement and equal part torture (but mostly torture) and record a show while I was at the library. But then it was hard to try speaking into my voice recorder while sitting at the microfilm scanner while being really quiet and not freaking out the people on the internet computers next to me who were looking at porn. So this show was recorded in multiple locales in and around the downtown Miami public library, but mostly at McDonald's.
