The hundy-teen7th episode of our podcast, Paul and Storm Talk About Some Stuff for Five to Ten Minutes (On Average), is now online.
This week’s episode: a special episode, recorded LIVE at Dragon*Con 2011, with special guest Jonathan Coulton. We discuss Jonathan’s new album and songwriting process at length; the absence of monkeys; puzzles vs. mysteries; pervasive sadness; writing for and with bands; a new manner of public shaming audience miscreants; musical influences; background music; terrible sights we’ve seen and the retelling of the Madison Kitten Rescue; flavored chips; whither w00tstock; and the Planet Money story.
Big thanks to Swoopy for running the room, and to Ken Plume and Widgett Walls for putting together our whole Dragon*Con experience!

Code word noted. 🙂
Any idea when you’ll be back in the northeast so we can implement it?
Excellent episode, highly enjoyed. But my addition of “His poop smells like mangoes.” was almost immediately removed from the JoCo wiki. Boo. 🙁
Gina, I added it back with a reference, just to vindicate you. I hope this doesn’t discourage you from wiki editing. 🙂
12 Monkeys will be the name of Jonathan’s Thing a Month project in 2032, after he’s run out of ideas for serious monkey-free stuff and needs another forced march of songwriting. They’ll be serious, sad monkeys, of course, but they’ll be monkeys.
We’ll just see about the mango-smelling poop, Coulton, we’ll just see…
Yes — return to the northeast, please! For instance, Philadelphia.
Philadelphia would also be a great venue for WootStockStock.
Lacking not only opposable thumbs, Ninja Turtle quilts would be covered in pizza sauce stains.
And +1,000,000 for WootStockStock Philadelphia.
You guys need to do more live podcasts – having an audience really energizes you.
And TMBG have already done the Twelve Wacky Monkeys thing here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgPcQP54X-I
