(Trailer) ABC’s ‘666 Park Avenue’ Off For A Full Season

ABC has green lit their new TV horror 666 Park Avenue as it gets picked up for a full season. Sure enough, a trailer was released to spark more interest towards the series. Check out the video below (video may not be viewable in territories outside US).

The thriller is based on a book of the same name by Gabriella Pierce which centers on a young couple (played by Rachael Taylor and Dave Annable) who got an offer to manage an entire apartment building in New York City. Little do they know that the building is also home to a number of supernatural residents. Personally, I think of it as a cross between the TV series American Horror Story and the Stephen King movie 1408 (with John Cusack). How about you?

How To Make A Podcast Feed From Blogger

Keith@iPodder — Mon, 14 May 2012 00:29:33 +0000

I was actually about to feature another podcast show for today’s post when suddenly, out of the blue, I remembered having read about this particular tutorial by Marziah Karch on how to make a podcast feed – make a podcast feed using Blogger, to be exact. Anyhow, I also realized that I have yet to even share it with the rest of you, so here it is.

Her tutorial is pretty much straightforward and easy to follow, and by the time you finish you’ll then be able to use your Blogger account to create a Podcast feed that can be downloaded into iTunes and other “podcatchers.”

One more thing before you head off to the tutorial is that you first need to have a media file (mp3 or video file) ready and already uploaded onto a server because you’re going to need it in order for you to even get midway through. That said, CLICK HERE for the tutorial!

Gary Busey Talks About ‘Piranha 3DD’ Safety

Keith@iPodder — Fri, 11 May 2012 07:02:47 +0000

Frankly, I don’t know what the folks behind the studios were thinking but for some reason, as part of their promotion for the upcoming movie ‘Piranha 3DD’, they treated us with a short clip of David ‘The Hoff’ Hasselhoff playing out some tunes on an electronic keyboard.

That was just a few days ago, and if you think that scene was kind of pointless, wait till you see what they have for us now. It’s a video of Gary Busey talking about Piranha safety. The video consists bloopers and outtakes of Gary’s interview and HitFix was first to come out with the clip. You just gotta hand it to Gary being Gary. If it weren’t for his umm… eccentricity, the whole video probably would’ve looked more pointless than David’s (with all due respect to The Hoff).
