Summary: Yes, somehow over the past three (?!) or so years, Mike and Turpster have made it to 100 official episodes, and the show this past week is the result of that. Truth be told, the anniversary kind of snuck up on us, but we did a few of the usual things, like reminiscing about past episodes, talking about our favorite moments, and dressing up in full celebration attire. That’s right, we dressed up for this one, and you can see it, because we recorded the whole thing ON VIDEO! That’s right — over on our Ustream channel, you can see our video from the show, with both Mike and The T on camera, smiling, and laughing, and having all kinds of fun. Now, one of the first things you’ll notice about that video is that it’s crammed with ads — that’s how Ustream does things, and there’s nothing we can do about that, unfortunately. We didn’t even know when they were coming, so we can’t take a break or anything. Also, the video is a little off, and Turpster isn’t always on with his mic there — that’s just a consequence of streaming the video all the way across the ocean and then out to Ustream, so that’s also unavoidable. Sorry about that. BUT, we learned some good things about streaming video during this last week’s podcast, and we are proud to announce that next week’s episode of Tipoaa will basically serve as The Incredible Podcast 2.0! If everything goes to plan, Tipoaa will now be A VIDEO PODCAST. That’s right, from now on, the plan is going to be to stream ourselves on video every single show, so not only will you be able to listen to us live, but you’ll also be able to watch us, both during and after the recording. The iTunes podcast is not going away, and neither is the regular mp3 recording, so even if you’re just listening to the show now, you’ll always be able to listen to it as normal. This is just extra — it’ll let you see what Mike and T are like when they record the show, and it’ll also let you see our guests when they come on, live and in action. How are we going to accomplish all of this? That’s a good question — we have a plan, but it may not work (this will probably give you a hint of what we’re planning to do, so you can subscribe to that if you know what that’s all about). But rest assured that no matter what happens, Tipoaa will still be here. This is all just icing on the cake for you guys. Hopefully, it makes the show a little more fun, and comes with added benefit of earning us a little more money, which we can then put back into making content for the show. It’s the circle of Internet content! Anyway, stay tuned next week to see what Tipoaa 2.0 looks like, and in the meantime, enjoy show number 100. Exciting stuff! Thanks for listening!
