Blendover Episode Twenty Eight:
We know. We’re tired of the overcoverage of the Zimmerman thing too. So for this week’s Blendover, we decided to shake it up a bit: We briefly touch on NSA drama, but follow up our Mandela Watch, while Microsoft reorganizes in light of criticisms. As promised we follow-up on the Lac-Mégantic Derailment and Explosion in Canada. Blendover is happily “verdictless” this week, and we hope you come along for the ride.
Topics Discussed:
- The NSA Snowden Drama
- Mandela
- Microsoft
- Boston Strangler
- Radiohead vs. Spotify
- Explosions and Connections
- American Dog
- Gay Marriage
- Abercrombie & Fitch Ban Black
- As I Lie Dying – Tim Lambesis Case
- Doctor Who
- Gay Bans In Russia
BlendoveR is a fun, hard-hitting pod-cast where rules are regularly thrown out the window in favor of honest, open commentating opinions. Presented by Greg Davies (cGt2099 from The-TrukstoP.com), and Terr Ciavarra (Media Nox from medianox.bandcamp.com), we stray on to any topic that presents itself or wanders off onto its own tangent.
