Gordcast

by Gordon Adams

Now in it's XXth? year, Gordie Adams' Gordcast covers music, comic books, movies, television, memories, nostalgia, current events and whatever else comes up in conversations with friends and sometimes in an informal interview with someone Gordie wants to know more about. Fellow aficionado Paul Bertolino joined as co-host of the Gordcast for the majority of episodes and along the way, Gordie welcomed a roster of special guests. After a hiatus he is back and invites you to hang out with the Gordcast for entertaining conversation and good company. Join us and have fun! Bonus episodes of The Gordcast Shuffle (wherein Gordie and Paul each gave three random spins to their vast music collections and talk in wonderful detail about the songs that show-up) are included in the same feed.

Episodes

Gordcast Episode 12 - Downtown!

45m · Published 23 May 01:22

Paul Bertolino is guest editor for the first on-location episode of Gordcast where Gordie and Paul meet in downtown Napa. They wander around with a laptop and a camera, checking out what little is left of their hometown, before settling on a shady place where the infamous clock tower once stood. An old friend happens by for an unplanned cameo. We learn that Gordie doesn't like cats, Paul doesn't like dogs and neither of them like Sting. What more could you ask for?

Gordcast Episode 10 - Gord and Paul, Proud As A Peacock!

59m · Published 24 Apr 04:32

Gordie and Paul talk about 70's Television, collecting toys and other crap in the 90's and how awesome Susan Boyle is. Gordie tells of Saint Helena wildlife and finally getting the answer to the name of that record store downtown. Paul relaxes on the Berkeley campus and waxes rhapsodic about the M.A.S.H theme song.
This one was fun ...and make sure to listen all the way to the end.

Gordcast Episode 9 - The Return of Miss B!

Bridget Hines triumphantly returns, telling stories of ways to poison yourself internally and externally, raising her little Omen child properly and scraping ice off her windshield with a LEGO.

Paul Bertolino is back from Paris, France and he tells of cemetery flashers at Jim Morrison's grave, his burial preference and that he likes two U2 songs.

Gordcast Episode 7 - Tom Beland, Swear To God!

1h 33m · Published 08 Mar 20:04

This one is for the comic book fans. (...but not exclusively)
Tom Beland finally joins me to talk about comics, comics, comics.
Gordie admits that he isn't exactly sure where Puerto Rico is on a map. Tom tells of sharing Gwen Stacy's death at the dinner table, how Alan Moore intimidates him and that he couldn't write a Kang story if you paid him. This is a longer than usual episode and we get very silly and rambly, so have fun!

(At 1:21 I missed an edit and am too lazy to go back and fix it right now, so skip to 1:23 or enjoy the song.)

Gordcast Episode 6 - Who Do You Trust!

1h 3m · Published 24 Feb 20:24

Paul Bertolino and Gordie begin by talking about The Who and slowly degenerate into other things as usual. Gordie loves the Tommy film regardless of how horrid it is. Paul tells stories of collecting Who vinyl in thrift stories and as usual, we talk about Napa memories. We end with shout-outs to our dedicated listeners (...authenticated listeners, that is.)

Gordcast Episode 5 - Ambush!

58m · Published 13 Feb 23:09

Bridget Rickerson gets fooled into being the first female co-host of The GordCast. Under the guise of "trying out" Skype, I talk to Bridget for the first time in 20+ years.

Gordcast Episode 4 - The First KISS!

Paul Bertolino joins me once again, in our first all KISS podcast. We tell stories of our earliest memories and exposures to The Frightful Four and how we were shaped by them. Gordie tells of his first actual kiss and his smooth ways of getting it done and we compare "KISS restrictions"
Most likely there will be a few all KISS episodes, but this is the first. Enjoy!

Gordcast Episode 3 - Beatlesfest!

1h 7m · Published 01 Feb 23:25
