Art and Karen head “Home” for this weeks episode of Revolution. The past catches up with many of our heroes. Did Aaron really think all would be forgiven when he finds Priscilla? Once again Priscilla saves the day. At lease Aaron put up a better fight this time. Was this the close of Aaron/Priscilla story line? Was Emma not just sleeping with Monroe, but also with Miles? Will we need Maury Povich to find out who is the daddy? We almost go two episodes before we see Neville again, and he shows up in some mighty fine threads. We expect the Tom/Miles dynamic to make for some strange bedfellows. Did everyone let out a cheer when Miles shot Dixon.

Happy Easter. Glad to be back to give you podcasting goodness.

An episode a bit off the beaten path this time. In October 2012, Art participated in the 12th edition of Ignite Denver. The premise of Ignite is what would you present if you .only had five minutes and 20 slides to spark your audience? Of course, Art sparked about Geocaching. This video is more adult in nature, so viewer discretion is advised.
Saving Your Money Podcast #006 – Lessons From College
Monday, 07 January 2013 20:34Written by Art Pennington
Saving Your Money Podcast returns after a long hiatus. Art and Karen discuss what has gone on in their lives since the last episode. Thanks for listening.
Sending college kids back to school.
Things at college cost more
lots of cost saving if a car trip returns your son or daughter to college
Things to stock up on.
toiletries
cleaning supplies
cold remedies and tissues
stationary and printer supplies
stable food items ie. instant Mac n Cheese, soup, peanut butter, cookies
Text books Amazon , Textbook.com Barnes & Noble and the college book store Amazon Student offers 2 day free shipping on books (this in not Amazon Prime)
consider renting, used or ebooks instead of traditional new textbook purchase.
B&N has a college kick start package that includes access to SparkCharts, Kaplan Study strategies and Nook college survival guides.
frequently the workbooks are cheapest at the school
software is often available with discounts through the colleges and universities although not all recognize Jr and community colleges with the best discounts.
notebooks with the college logo are often overpriced. But a school calendar planner may be a good buy to keep up with the college events and dates of closures.
Meal plans are sometimes required and often a good deal. The most comprehensive meal plan including 19 meals a week (brunch and Dinner only on weekends) is a bargain over the other plans. This one allows only one card swipe per dining service (cannot share with friends) but covers all the meals. I have yet to hear of a student at any college who is completely thrilled with their meal plan but there are ways to help that. Boredom is often the complaint, I suggest that you try new foods. Just because Mom’s Meatloaf never did much for you it does not mean that the school recipe is the same. you might find you like the seasoning that you get on roast chicken on campus.
Get up early enough to eat breakfast and be sure to find a way to get all of your meals even if your class schedule is tight.
Even if you live off campus you may find a partial dining plan both convenient and cost effective
In the real world people pay big bucks to join a fitness club. Check out what is available at the athletic center or rec center on campus. Just a few games of hoops or table tennis will help to keep you alert. often there is great equipment to use, a pool or ice rink.
Campuses are known for great libraries. Sometimes multiple ones. A school with a great music or theater department may well have a great library in that area as well.
If you spent your first semester avoiding on campus activities now is your time to check them out. YOu are likely find new friends and additions to your mug and t-shirt collections.
Take advantage of school sponsored tutoring, resume assistance, job placement.
Explore the options of other schools nearby for inexpensive haircuts, food or even auto repair.
Campus sponsored concerts, plays and movies are not only great gathering places but often easy on the wallet
collect up the on campus coupon books that seem to be everywhere for big savings. It is no longer fashionable to pay full price needlessly.

Sunday, 02 December 2012 19:03Written by Art Pennington
Well…we have reached the mid season break for Revolution. Did it meet your expectations? What will we expect the second half of the season when the show returns on March 25th 2013? Was Rachel’s reaction to seeing Miles again a surprise? Was Charlie’s reaction to seeing Rachel a surprise? Was Aaron’s ability to like a fuse with a striker a surprise? Was Art’s impersonation of Don LaFontaine a surprise? Can we really expect our heroes to collect weapons as they become available? Could you imagine Charlie with a dozen rifles around her neck? We briefly discuss our plans during the hiatus, listener calls, laughing fits, and more…
Art and Karen have a big disagreement on this episode. Art says it is the works episode of the series, and almost jumps the shark. Karen says this episode is critical to the setup of the fall finale. Did we get enough music of Led Zeppelin? Art questions how tunnels that long and large could run out of air so fast. Reed Diamond stars as the victim of the week. Has Rachel signed her own death warrant regardless of outcome of the amplifier? We discuss what the last scene of the fall finale will be.

A caller theorizes that Aaron would look better without his beard. Will Monroe teach the world to sing and buy them a coke? Will Jason fall in line now the Tom saved him?

Friday, 02 November 2012 20:41Written by Art Pennington
In this episode, we briefly discuss Fringe and the death of Etta. How Olivia finally expressed love after five seasons.
However in this episode of Revolution, Art is completely frustrated with Aaron. He feels that his handling of his marriage was all wrong. All the characters have a revelation or growth during this episode. Is Drexler the ‘lite’ version of Tony Montana.? Just how bad was Miles during his time with Monroe? When someone mentions adrenaline, why is it always pure? We also hear from regular listener Arthur, King of the Britons.

We discuss the backstory of Maggie and her departure from the series. we still don’t know Nate’s real name. Karen has issues with the Sebastian/Rachel dynamic.
