atNickHodge Episode 12: Mark Pesce

The future is intan­gible. It fas­cin­ates us all. In this epis­ode of atNick­Hodge, I inter­view Mark Pesce.
If we could get someone to read us our future, with cer­tainty, we would cer­tainly leap at the chance. It impacts the low­est base needs of our Maslowian needs of secur­ity and safety. Know­ing the future provides a comfort […]

atNickHodge Episode 11: @zuzu Punk Rock Changed My Life

An excel­lent ROCKING PUNK ROCK show with Susan Mac­Gil­li­v­ray (@zuzu on twit­ter)
A fur­ther piece of home­work for you all is this 1991 doc­u­ment­ary. Also this Bob Rock inter­view about Van­couver Punk Scene.
OK, I stuffed up the most import­ant thing at the begin­ning - audio (embar­rass­ing as @fang and I had dis­cussed this earlier in the day); but thankfully […]

atNickHodge Episode 8: The Lost Uncles

Review­ing the Show

Too many umms and errs again. Got to remem­ber to shut up when think­ing. Silence for sub-seconds are ok. Could blame the slack­ness on my neck being out caus­ing vague­ness.
More mod­u­la­tion in emo­tion when speak­ing
Tim­ing worked well. Missed the mid-point video due to time restric­tions.
Ten minutes before the show began, I restruc­tured the flow […]

atNickHodge 23rd April, “The Lost Uncles”

All Hail the New Show Name: atNick­Hodge.
Com­ments in the chat stream from Thursday 18th’s #under­stil 7 (Conked Out and Stoked) ended with a sug­ges­tion from @LafinBoy to change the name of the show. Not because Stilgher­rian Live! nor being his under­study is a bad thing: just it is just time to gradu­ate. Up the ante. […]
