I have some very important news! The second season of the Saint Gasoline podcast is starting up this week!

First of all, you’ve probably noticed there are new blog entries. This means that, yes, I will be blogging again.

But what about the podcast? Well, there will also be a podcast! The podcast will essentially be an extended version of my blog posts for that week, with slight improvisations and additional content/musings from yours truly. So the podcast will be just a slightly extended version of the blog posts, with additional crap coming out of my mouth as filler! Yum! Crap filler is my favorite!

What this means is that you can choose to either READ the content or LISTEN to the content. Everyone wins! Except people who are blind and deaf. Then…well, that just sucks. I’ll try to work on creating a tactile version of the podcast for you blind/deaf folk, but that could prove uncomfortable for both of us.

TL;DR: Now you don’t have to hear my voice if you hate my voice, and you don’t have to read this font if you hate this font! Right on!

I won.

This Halloween, the trick-or-treaters won’t be knocking on my door—because I’M THE ONE WHO KNOCKS!

If you can’t tell who I am dressed as, then clearly you do not watch Breaking Bad, and clearly you have not been exposed to the best character ever invented: Walter White (aka Heisenberg). Any kids who can guess my costume will get some cherished blue rock candy along with their Snickers bars.

In lieu of writing more, I’ve decided to start podcasting. I already have everything set up and ready to go, and all I really need to do now is finish editing what I’ve recorded and record a few more stories. I will still post the occasional blog entry, but I suspect most of my creativity and writing will be spent on the podcast.

What is the Saint Gasoline podcast? It will essentially be just like the Saint Gasoline blog, except with my annoying voice! I will report on my usual topics of interest—science, politics, skepticism, and all sorts of other news items—being sure to add the special touch that is my immature sense of humor to each and every piece. Occasionally I may present crappily performed skits or interview people, but mostly this is going to be a one-man show.

For the first segments of the podcasts, I will comment on news items that interest me, hopefully in a manner that you find amusing. The next segment will consist of me ranting about whatever happens to be stuck in my craw at the moment. Although if something is stuck in my craw, the rant will usually be about what’s stuck in my craw. I’m not sure what other segments I’ll include later, but for now this will be the basic structure of the podcast. If you have any ideas or suggestions about what you’d like to hear from me, let me know!

I expect to have the first episode up by Monday, June 6, and from then on out I’ll try to have a new episode out every Monday. This may or may not last very long depending on how long I can stand to listen to my own voice and whether I’m any good at talking for extended periods to someone other than my imaginary friend Larry.

Hello, dear readers.  Here’s what’s in store for Saint Gasoline in the near future.  I’m considering bringing back the Saint Gasoline webcomic.  I’d still blog occasionally, but it would be mainly comic focused.  I’m going to try to focus heavily on science and skepticism humor, which is a very special niche category, so I’m not sure I’ll be able to come up with totally hilarious ideas fast enough to keep the comics coming at a fast rate, though.  But I want to try to focus on that brand of humor, rather than bringing in my usual fart/dick jokes like I’m usually inclined to do.  In that vein, I’d try to tailor my blog to only humorous posts, as well, like the Onion-esque articles I’d been writing lately or else the absolute reaming of creationists and other morons.

Now, I know those of you who still read this are clearly the hardcore Saint Gasoline fans, as I rarely update enough to be super popular with the kids these days.  So with that in mind, what would you, my dear hardcore fans, like to see?  I mean, I suppose if enough of you want me to draw naked manatees making out with Obama, then I’d make sure to change this to www.Naked-Manatee-Obama.com, so I guess I should get your input.

Hey everyone, I’m writing this to let all you fine readers know that I do plan on updating this blog again eventually.  I have been busy lately and I’ve also been stuck in a bit of a personal funk.  (Okay, okay, so I’m having a quarter-life crisis!)  It doesn’t help that I’m mildly perfectionistic about my writing so I never feel content with publishing a piece as-is (hence the 30 or so half-written entries saved and unpublished for this blog).  But I will make a concerted effort to get something of substance out for you fine folks soon!  And I also wanted to say that I appreciate the donations some of you have given me.  It helps cover the costs of my webhost and also gives me a mild incentive to actually write more and buy delicious snacks.

So keep an eye out for new posts!  And stop whining when I don’t post stuff!  (I’m looking at you, Lizz.)
