Reno Gazzette Article on Podcasting... featuring Bruka
Yay! We've made the big time, people! :)
It is very cool to be featured in the RGJ. Isn't it funny how stupid you sound when you see your quotes in print. "I was like..." Jesus, do I really talk like that? I guess so. Newspaper print doesn't lie. :)

Podcast Donations

2005-08-25T09:19:00.000-07:00

I've included a donation button on this page in the lower right hand corner.
Up until now I've managed to keep the cost of the podcast to relatively nothing, outside of purchasing some equipment for mixing and editing. If, for any reason, you would like to boost the production of the podcast, feel free to donate.

What do we need donations for?
1. Right now we're being hosted for free on switchpod. For like $6 a month we can get rid of the annoying promo podcasts, and add some interesting features.
2. Podcasting Software - For roughly $50 we can purchase some software that would speed up our process and ease the production.
3. Any additional funds could be used to purchase sound equipment, microphones and sound effects to boost the production quality, and give us some Bruka podcast exclusive equipment. (Right now we are borrowing from Brian, Tom, and Bruka's sound closet). It would be nice to operate independently from the theatre.

This is not a donation to the general Bruka fund. Donations on this site will be reserved for the production costs of the podcast, and will not be redirected to other Bruka projects. The host, Michael Grimm, will be solely responsible for the proper use of the funds provided. Donations will be reported to Bruka, for the sake of the legal department.

If you have any questions, you can reach the host at brukabox@gmail.com.

Thanks.

Coming Soon!

2005-08-19T12:37:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the high hat. This top hat logo is just meant to distinguish the podcasts from the commentary about current and upcoming podcasts.

Coming Soon... "THE BRUKA BOX" podcast. "What is 'THE BRUKA BOX' podcast?", you may ask. Well, it's where we publish our radio shows, skits, and whatever else doesn't fit into the "Radio Free Bruka" podcast. It will be more digestable, in nature, than "Radio Free" for people who do not know or care what Bruka Theatre is. Where "RADIO FREE BRUKA" is about the local arts and culture, "THE BRUKA BOX" will be comedies, dramas and other radio productions that can reach a mass audience. Hopefully, worldwide. So keep your Ipods open for the revolution is about to begin!

Comments on Podcast #3:
It has come to my attention that some of the facts in Podcast #3 were, in fact, not facts, at all. They were lies, pure lies! I hope to straighten them out. #1 - Dave Anderson was not a founding member of Bruka. He came on three years after it had begun. #2 - Burning Man is not an Arts Festival, it's a giant kegger in the desert. #3 - Jub Jub's Plastic Circus is located at 6:45, not 7:15. Look at your watches, people! #4 - Brian Barney would most definately go to Burning Man if he was guaranteed to get laid.

For another Burning Man podcast, check out the Mercury News Burning Man Podcast.

Radio Free Bruka Podcast #3

2005-08-18T00:34:00.000-07:00

Radio Free Bruka #3 - The Burning Man Special
Following a word from our new sponsor "Coo-Dex" the troupe discusses the ins and outs of survival in the Black Rock City during the burning of the man. All but one of our participants have been to Burning Man, and they spend a good part of the show trying to convince the one outsider (Brian) that he should give it a try. Things get a little philosophical

Cast of Characters -
Host - Michael Grimm
On the couch - Brian Barney, Tom Plunkett, Lewis Zaumeyer, Jeff Knutsen, Patty (Sassy) Knutsen, Jamie Plunkett
With guest noises from - Dave Simpson & Mary Bennett
