Radio Free Burrito: Episode Thirty-Two
wil, · Categories: MusicHoly Crap, after more than a year, it's time for a new episode of Radio Free Burrito!
Today, I read some stories from my blog, talked about some stuff, and played some weird and wonderful music.
Show Notes:
- The logo was designed by WWdN:iX reader Marc, who asked that I not link to his "in progress" website. Thanks, Marc!
- Radio Free Burrito doesn't work as hard to earn its [EXPLICIT] tag as Memories of the Futurecast did, but it still manages to upset mom and get Twitter breakup messages from sensitive people. You have been warned.
- This week's theme music is The Summer Place, by Fountains of Wayne.
- The first "commercial" from Paul and Storm is just silence. I messed up and put it on the wrong track. I'll fix it over the weekend.
- You now have no excuse to not read The Bloggess.
- Look, I gave her some twine.
- I'm finally on Facebook.
- Here's a random link from Wikipedia.
- I forgot to screencap and link to that picture of the panning in Carnivale… whatever you have in your imagination is probably better, anyway.
- I don't have a bell right now, but when I do, it's going to be like this one. Yeah, that's a classy bell, right there. It doesn't try to be all fancy; it just does what a good bell should do.
- Apollo 18, people. Listen to it on shuffle.
- This episode is about 17MB.
- This episode is about 37 minutes long.
- There are about 15 seconds of unnecessary silence at the end of the show. You get those for free. You're welcome.
- I am aware that the tags are screwed up and the feed doesn't validate, so unless you're grabbing RFB from iTunes or getting it directly here, it's a giant hassle to get it. I am aware of this problem, but it's a gigantic pain in the ass for me to correct it, given the tools I have available to me. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, and I'm very annoyed by it, but I can make a podcast, or I can be a bug-squashing code monkey. I can't do both, and I quite frankly prefer making the podcast. Listener Dave K. built a workaround that you can learn all about here. Thanks, Dave!
- Again, no embedded artwork. This distresses me, but it's Apple's fault, not mine, and it's too much of a pain in the ass to get it done. Hopefully, they'll fix the bug REALLY SOON.
- Please note that I've been wishing for Apple to fix this bug for over two years. Yay.
- This is the end of the notes.
Ready? Then turn down your lights (where appropriate), and

OMG another goddamn RFB! This is exciting!!
(didn I miss something? I didn’t hear Paulandstorm’s thingy…)
And, when i clicked the “feed me seymour”* button, i got the oops message…
*I know that it is called feed the burrito
I have that exact same message tone! You made me look for my phone xD
Anyway, YAY! Missed RFB so much <3
Thank you good sir, the RFB is appreciated.
At one point I had them all downloaded on an iDevice for listening to during my long commute. It made the drive quite tolerable, so you have my sword. And my gratitude.
Hand to Dog I have that exact bell on my desk at work. I get to ring it whenever I manage to close a particular category of file (heinous and years-long would be the category). #itsthelittlethings #makefriendsandannoycoworkers
Seriously? You need a new bell and don’t want this one?

A well-organized list of things which I want to say:
1st (and foremost) – [happy-rage-guy.jpg] RFB IS BACK!!! omfg I’m so happy you have no idea!! I love these Wil, I really really do! Thank you so much!
2 – Paul and Storm’s commercial isn’t actually there. It’s just… silence… Sadface, I bet it’s really awesome!
3 – Remember when you did that last RFB waaaay back in like November 2010 or something and you thanked a ton of people, except those who gave you RFB stuff at cons and that you misplaced the box in your garage but you still needed thank them and you will in the future? Did you ever find that box? You so need to thank those people! *cough*likeme*cough*
I really hope you keep getting excited about and thus keep making RFBs! Thanks Wil!
Gotta love some RFB!
I hope I get a chance to meet you tomorrow at the Nerd and Sundry panel I’ve wanted to meet you since I was a little kid. Too bad I didn’t bring my copy of Memories of the Future.
Hooray! Thanks so much, Wil! Missed the RFB. It’s never too late π
RFB makes me so happy! Yay!
Definitely do more of these! I demand slash humbly request it!
Firstly; Holy shit, RFB is back! Day = Made!
Everything else-ly; Hearing you pronounce Melbourne made me giggle (sucks that Supernova Sydney isn’t on at the same time, it’d be rad to see you there)
Thanks so much Wil π
I’ve missed RFB! Thanks, Wil! Your copyright notice still says 2010, so, you know. Shame on you.
I have been jonesing a burrito. I will feed the burrito when I am done listening! You have had a year to get this one ready, hope it is a good burrito!
1. mmmmmm Burrito.
2. The random wiki link took me to the article on Dragonmead. Sweet.
3. There was some silence at the front of the burrito (@ 2:39), so another bonus.
4. Made me think, made me laugh, Great burrito!
5. “Feed the burrito” is broken in FireFox, but works in IE and Chrome.
6. Burrito is fed, Buy your bell, any leftover, look at an ascot.
New Burrito! Holy cow! Thanks Wil, you’re swell.
As an aside, I just started going back through the archives and re-listening to old episodes (and the futurecast), and thinking to myself, “I miss Wil’s weekly podcasts.”
Is there anything we can do to entice you to finishing memories of the future volume 2? A box of girl scout cookies perhaps?
New RFB – Awesome!
Tabletop – Awesommer!
Good to have you back Wil
I’d read all those blog posts you read in this burrito but the little extras and the feel that you read them the way they are supposed to be read and not how I imagine them in my head is cool.
Looking forward to more if you can find the time, oh and possibly a little preview of Memories of the Future vol. 2?
Thanks for the new episode of RFB, Wil! I love it!
I also thought I’d mention that I enjoy the non-edit shows the most. You’re hilarious and I’d hate to miss out on anything.
Looking forward to more when you have the time π

Wil, is there any chance of getting a “Free the Burrito” or other RFB shirt?
Since I didn’t know about RFB until very recently I chose to go aaalll the way back to the oldest episodes and listen to them in order. I’m up to number nine, and have been enjoying them very much.
In episode four, or perhaps five (I’m not sure which), you spoke about not having done anything creative lately because of the adult real-life responsibilities taking up all your time and energy and I realized that that was the very thing that had been bugging me lately. So I tried some of the old creative things I used to enjoy and none of them seemed to be right, and I looked about for a new medium.
Lo and behold, I discovered the fun activity of creating fractals, and since you were kind of the inspiration for getting me going in this direction, I thought I’d send you the very first one. I don’t know if you like fractals or not, hopefully you like this one.

Oh my god, that's beautiful! How do you do it?
Thanks! I downloaded a freeware program from http://apophysis.org/ (I have version 2.09). It’s lots of fun π
