Blendover Episode Thirty:

This week on Blendover, we jump ahead of the mainstream media and examine what the upcoming Middle East Peace Talks are REALLY about (Hint: it involves $$$$$), and take a look at a new documentary film about online privacy called Terms And Conditions May Apply. Later, we glance at the Swiss Train Crash in the news, and the Bradley Manning Verdict. But that’s not all: we have aliens too…

Topics Discussed:

• Terms And Conditions May Apply
• Middle East Peace Talks
• Swiss Train Crash
• Putin and the Gay
• Pope Watch
• Bradley Manning Verdict
• World Order
• Nintendo Wii U
• UC Davis Pepper Spray Cop
• WTF: Wind Turbine Mystery
• Varg Virkenes Arrested Under Terrorism Accusations
• The Return of Monster Magnet
• Australian Media Prices
• EVE Online

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.
