Yep...another one! Joyce and I've decided that sometimes, we want to share stuff that doesn't fit into our Disneyland podcast Tales From The Mouse House, or our Amazing Race podcast FastForward. Episodes could include music from one of our favorite geeky musicians (hmm, who could that be?), stories I've written and read, or even just video of our pup Katie while she plays! Whatever! Why? Well, Just Because!! Oh, we will even offer an episode from time to time for folks who have something to share, but don't really want to go through the whole starting a podcast thing!!
Well, it's ALMOST here! We've submitted the podcast feed to iTunes, and they are now reviewing for approval! Should be any day now...BUT...if you just CAN'T wait for iTunes, click here: http://web.me.com/alkessel/Just_Because/Welcome.html (http://web.me.com/alkessel/Just_Because/Welcome.html)to enjoy the first episode of Just Because, a cool video of ocean waves crashing set to Hawaiian music. We shot this footage on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii (Turtle Bay Resort) during our 10 year wedding anniversary vacation. We hope you enjoy this first episode and stay tuned to Just Because for many more interesting and fun podcast episodes!
Remember, if you have an idea on a show you'd like to see or hear, feel free to send your comments to al-bluocean@cox.net. Visit us on podbean at because.podbean.com! Thanks~~~ Al, Joyce & Katie (the pup)
You guys are starting to go all Extralife on us now :P Good luck on the show though! Sounds interesting. :)
King
Methinks someone's caught the bug big-time! ;)
Good luck with it!
Sounds like the premise behind "Seinfeld"!
Yeah, Joyce and I are pretty addicted!
Thanks Tim! It won't be like regularly released, but probably at least 2 or more per month.
Bryan, yeah, I like that! Seinfeld! Hey, maybe we'll do an episode on that!! :)
Hey gang, just wanted to update you all on the Just Because podcast...so, we've decided to do these monthly (at least for now). We've got three planning out right now that I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy: the first all audio episode will feature our Treks Forum's buddy Rick Peete. This will be an all techy episode with Rick giving us the complete low down (or...high up, err, whatever) on the iPad2! Rick's going to share with us all of those technical things that we've been dying to know, but didn't know who to ask! Can't wait!
The next will feature our awesome buddy Rick Moyer (hmm, a Rick/Rick double header??) and his awesome talents. Rick will discuss his background, his podcasting, his musical projects and well, everything RICK!!
Then, the 3rd episode we're working on will feature another great friend, Simon Meddings, or Meds, or HawkeyeMeds on the forums...his episode should be pretty fun as well. Meds is going to discuss the concept that you DON'T have to understand all things mechanical to be a car nut! Seems that our very own Meds is a car enthusiast and will share that in an upcoming episode...
So...if any of YOU have an idea for a Just Because episode, why not let me know?! And no Bryan...we can't do a video episode of you sitting on the beach without your shirt on! :)
So are we going to get an Al or Joyce "Just Because" episode?
:) Perhaps Kenny....:) Yeah, we're working on a couple of things! :)
Welcome to episode two of the Just Because podcast, Just Because...iPad 2! In this tech driven episode, our good friend Rick Peete from the Treks In Sci-Fi community, and all around tech guru reviews the amazing new iPad 2 from Apple, Inc, and makes our mouths water even more for this totally COOL device! AND...what's even cooler is that Rick recorded with us on HIS iPad 2! Wicked!!!! He uses his iPad 2 for EVERYTHING.
You can catch Just Because at www.because.podbean.com (http://www.because.podbean.com), or in iTunes!
If you have an idea for future Just Because episodes, drop us a line at al-bluocean@cox.net. We'd LOVE to hear from you. And how about jumping over to iTunes and rating the podcast?
Take care and enjoy this awesome episode. Take care ~~ Al, Joyce and Kate (the pup!)
It was so much fun joining Al and Joyce for the podcast this afternoon. I wrote a bit about it in my blog:

-Rick
Sounds like a great show to listen to. :)
Rick Peete did a terrific job! We're lucky to have had him on our first audio episode. Thanks Rick!!
I don't know who had more fun -- me or Al -- talking about the iPad and all its capabilities. I did manage to avoid the word 'magical' though! LOL
Al, thanks for inviting me to join you for the podcast. My wife just finished listening to it a few minute ago and she thought it was very good. That was high praise coming from her since she hears my rambling everyday.... hee hee
:) Glad she liked it! Maybe sometime we can get her on the show!!!!
Great show except for the fact that I have iPad envy now. thanks. ;)
Rick (M), me too! Although...:) Joyce and I DID get our tax refund recently and it was a fair size....
45 mins of brilliance. Excellent episode with the Rick, great job Al & Joyce. The only downside is i now want a darn iPad 2 LOL
Thanks Meds...I know. Rick Peete did a great job of convincing us of the merits of the iPad 2, didn't he? :) Don't know if we should be happy, or ANGRY :):)
Oh my! Perhaps I need to recant.....
NO NO NO! It was excellent Rick!! :)

...or suddenly POOR?
It was a good show. I'm still going to resist the urge to purchase, however!
Thanks Feathers. So, why are you resisting the urge? Remember, resistance is futile! :)
So is spending money you haven't got (while trying to move house)
Great episode btw, I got to listen to it a few days ago and agreed with what Rick P said. The iPad 2 is a great device. :)
King
Thanks Tim! Me thinks me will need to spend the old tax refund! :)

Here I am holding Nathan when he was born, complete with my curly mullet.

:) Thanks Rick! I needed that today!!! :) You look like Kevin Cronin from REO Speedwagon!! :) Cool doo though
I am forever scarred to remembering that picture....o_o.
:P
jk
Seriously though, just what were you guys thinking in the 60-70-80s period, including my parents? Weird people. (in before "oh you young person") ;)
King
Dunno, take a look at today's fashion, the 80's are back baby!
Hey, if kids today can droop their pants down to their knees, causing them to walk like their Pampers are loaded with a corn speckled blob, we can have our mullets!!

Actually baggy pants are out. All the cool kids wear tight skinny jeans and thick rimmed hipster glasses.
Billybob, oh, from one extreme to another! Yikes! I guess if I wait long enough, I'll be cool again! :)
MY EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What I want to know Rick is, how much did that perm cost? :) You know I love you man!!!
$40 each time, and I went through a series of three of them until I chopped it all off.
:)
:) Well, the perm mullet is better than that mullet style with one long strip of hair in the back. Don't know what that's called....
Anyway...back on topic! :) Still waiting for Mr. Meds to get ready for HIS Just Because episode........:)
I'm working on it lol, i'm trying to geth the Martian Creative team together to do the interview with you :D
Man Meds...what's the hold up? Sheesh. :) So, we've got TWO episodes with you my friend. The Martians Are Here interview and your Just Because....I like cars. :)
a couple more... hehehehe... yeah, it was before digital photography
Very nice Rick!!
Those are great pictures, Rick!
Oh dear, scary hairy!
REO Speedwagon!
The Age of the Mullet! All business up front, and a party in the back. Love it Brother Moyer! :)
Awesome pics!
those were the days.
ummm. Wow.. ummm that's about all I can say at the moment :)

Welcome to episode 5 of Just Because...The Martians Are Here!
In this out of control episode, we sit down (via Skype) and chat with three of the most talented, interesting and completely out of this world guys you'll ever meet. Stefan Sawynok, Simon Meddings and Rick Moyer (the driving forces behind the incredibly interesting podcast audio drama The Martians Are Here) share with us the seldom heard behind the scenes "stuff" that helped make this one of the most successful audio dramas ever.

Thanks for listening and remember, ANYONE can be a podcaster...you just need an idea. Why?
----- Just Because! ~~ Al, Joyce & Kate (The Pup)
Al,
Do you use a different feed for iTunes than podbean? The last two episodes showed up in iTunes but not on the podbean feed (which is what I've pointed Poscaster at).
Feathers, sorry for the delay. Been off and on a lot lately. Well, we use the free version of Podbean for Just Because, and that limits the upload to 30 mb files only. The last two episodes were larger than that, so I had to keep them off the site. Sorry...
Welcome to episode six of Just Because...Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes! Our good friend Rick Moyer joins us to review the latest version in the talking apes franchise! Now, Rick is a HUGE Planet of the Apes fan, so will this new movie measure up to his expectations? Will this movie be top banana in his book? Tune in to find out, but beware, there be spoilers ahead!
If you'd like to suggest an episode for Just Because, feel free to drop us an email at justbecausepodcast@gmail.com, or leave us comments on our NEW website at www.justbecausepodcast.com (http://www.justbecausepodcast.com).

Of all the pictures Al.. you had to choose that one :)
Awesome can't wait to listen.
Kenny,
I like that one! It's cute, a Hobbit kicking it! :)
I listened today great Cast and the effort that went into the costume was worth it judging by the picture, i had it staring at me from my ipod as i was listening. The wife said "whose that?". I said its Kenny the Hobbit. she looked at me like i had lost the plot.
Thanks stonut, glad you liked it! Kenny was fun to chat with. I STILL can't get the picture of him walking down the streets of San Diego, at midnight, dressed as a Hobbit! :)

I still remember after my wedding reception in downtown Toronto. Our hotel was about a 15 minute walk from the place we held the reception so we decided to walk. It was about 2 in the morning, me in my tuxedo and Fran in her wedding dress casually strolling up King street.
You see things in the city after dark.... :)
Billybob...things that....one should never see, at least sober? :)

It's the feet that did it.
Listened on holiday to both the recent episodes. Comic Con sounds too much like hard work for me but I'm still glad to hear about it.
Ok, get excited! Our very own Rick Peete will be on an upcoming episode of Just Because to chat about his recent trip to SPACE CAMP!! Yeah! Just Because...Space Camp should be released this weekend...:)
I'm very excited to hear this one.. I never knew adults could go to Space Camp.. I always thought it was a kids thing.
Kenny,
Oh man was it a fun interview! Space Camp is a place I'd LOVE to go!! Rick Peete suggests a Treks In Sci Fi meet up at Space Camp! :)

Lined up and ready to listen :D

Just listened to both latest episodes and really enjoyed them. Great one with Rick and a great chat with Joyce going solo (about bloody time) ;) lol. Seriously though great job Joyce and great interview with Rick. Awesome podcast Al & Joyce.
:) Thanks Meds!! Yeah, Joyce was worried about doing the podcast without me...why? No clue! Everyone knows SHES the one everyone wants to hear...not my nasally discharge of a voice! :) No, seriously though, she did very well, I'm proud of her. She and Kenny have pretty good pod-chemistry...
