July 2006

The Casual Artscast shall be under construction for the next several weeks. With the return of the Funk Doc to the sunny groves of Northern California, the show as we have been producing it will have to change.

The question that remains is how this will change. We are open to ideas.

An anachronistic podcast this was. We started off in Jena on top of a hill overlooking the city where Napolean fought the famous Battle of Jena in 1806. Somehow we got sidetracked into talking about vegetarianism in Germany and why they don't consider fish to be meat. Paradoxically to both of us, a person can call himself a vegetarian here while simultaneously consuming fish in great quantities.

With the grande entrée of special guest Ms. Delecambre in the second part of the show, focus shifted to the World Cup Final between Italy and France. Unfortunately France lost, but much was ado about Zinadine Zidane's notorious head-butt of an Italian weakling. Opinions were mixed.

Suspenders are making a comeback.
