Smart Sewers

~ Austin Rich ~ Leave a comment

Smart Sewers
(Recorded on 3 June 2021) 

In a recent episode of 99 Percent Invisible, there was a discussion of Smart Sewers. (Taking our old, ancient, non-networked and non-electrical sewer systems, and adding modern upgrades to them, so we can use technology to diagnose and interact with sewers in ways that were never possible before.) Since this actually offers a real-world example of how Max Headroom came true, we discuss this new technology. Plus, we announce our next Zoom Party, review some recent mail, remind people to sign up for the Lemonade Stand, and encourage people to attend the Rich Treasures DIY Pop-Up, coming later this month.

Heather sends a wonderful, wide-eyed gift to Austin.

Austin pushes his musical postcards with an obscure Headroom reference.

A Peek Behind The Curtain

A Peek Behind The Curtain
(Recorded on 13 May 2021) 

With another Zoom Party on the way, and the Patreon up and running (what Austin affectionately refers to as, “The Lemonade Stand,”), we take this opportunity to thank our supporters, discuss some of the cool gifts that listeners have sent in, and have a bit of a casual “hang” before we move on to the next episode.

Heather is fairly confident she doesn’t need to retake any lines.

Austin remixes a stone cold classic about the MaxHeads in your life.

 

 

 

The Return of SipComs w/ Luc Thiers

The Return of SipComs w/ Luc Thiers
(Recorded on 25 March 2021) 

Heather is starting to take this Sitcom idea with “It’s Max!” very seriously, and we decided that there was no better way to get some real advice than to speak with Sitcom expert (and the host of SipComs), Luc Thiers. (Whom you can find online by visiting: @thiersofaclown on Instagram.) Luc joins us to talk about what it is that they find appealing about the format, their particular road into comedy, and some of the shows that they think are good examples of the modern changes that has happened with Sitcoms.

Heather is very curious about Pops.

Austin demands that Luc pitch an idea, NOW!
