New live shows on the channel expansion Beta!

Greetings Alpha Geeks!

I have been working on expanding the capacity of the network with an additional four channels of video and radio. These new channels are different from the existing channels in that they will not be rigidly scheduled, and will allow show hosts who have a less-structured approach to streaming to still simulcast across all of the outlets and devices that Alpha Geek has in place, from basic radio on your mobile phone, to the largest home theater setup you can imagine.

Please welcome these new shows and hosts, who are helping me develop the new "dynamic" Alpha Geek channels!

Black Mirror: Reflections: Black Mirror Refection is a fancast on the show Black Mirror hosted by Kari Simms, Stacy Baldwin, and Jackie Hern. The show is recorded live on Fridays at 2 PM Eastern.

HockeyBuzzCast Live: A hockey call-in live podcast with Eklund, Michael Augello and a variety of guests from the hockey world. Recorded every Monday through Friday and heard on www.hockeybuzz.com.

Ashley Paramore a.k.a. FakeGamerGirl: Vegan cooking, swearing, & tears. Based out of Oakland, California with her husband and three bird dragons, Ashley Paramore cooks vegan food for your entertainment. From omelettes to 'chicken' wings, she'll teach you how to make vegetables not taste like dirt.

The Doubleclicks Live: The Doubleclicks are two sisters, a cello, and songs about dinosaurs, Jane Austen and dungeons and dragons.  We've been called snarky, geeky, and sweet, and we tour around the US quite a bit. Hello! When streaming new Video Blogs & Livestream shows, they will simulcast live across Alpha Geek Video and Radio.

CORE: Join Scott Johnson, Jon Jagger, and Beau Schwartz each week. Heroes of The Storm is our obsession, and maybe it can be yours too. So much so, this show will be something you can t wait to download every week.

Experience Points: Experience Points, with Scott Johnson, is a full 3 hour block comprised of PC gaming news, commentary, live calls, and LOTS and LOTS of live gameplay. That includes interviews with other gamers and developers, game reviews, and some (mostly) friendly live competition with some of your favorite Frogpants and gaming personalities.

Politics! Politics! Politics!: Justin Robert Young announces his intention to dissect the run for the White House. Just think, while you been getting down and out about the liars and the dirty dirty cheats of the world you could have been getting down to this sick beat.

JuRY Talks: A podcast wherein Justin Robert Young talks at you. Justin Robert Young wants you to know that he has opinions. Movies, politics, R.L. Stine and much more is covered weekly. Seriously, it's not total nonsense. But it's mostly nonsense.

JocePlays: Jocelyn Moffett has been podcasting for over four years. Her success on The Gamers' Inn and The Angry Chicken on the Amove.tv network have allowed her to pursue podcasting and Twitch streaming full time.

Starmike TV: I'm Mike, aka 'Starman', and I've been playing videogames pretty much since they were invented. I've had a long-time fascination with audio and radio, and I started podcasting in 2005 with "World of Warcast", the first and longest running WoW podcast until I retired it in 2015, exactly 10 years to the day I started the show. I decided to move into the world of streaming by setting up here, playing games both old and new.

Mark Steadman’s 7 Day Trial: Join Mark, a Brit with a pop-culture passion, as he discovers new movies, music, books and more in his weekly review show. Every Friday, he takes a suggestion from his friends and tries it for seven days. Watch and listen live at 9:00AM Mountain every Friday for Mark Steadman’s 7 Day Trial to find out what you should be telling your friends about!

Emergency server migration complete

Greetings Alpha Geeks!

Over the last two weeks or so, my hosting provider for the 24-7 audio servers / control panel servers have made it clear that they are not very interested in responding to performance issues and total outages in a timely manner.

Because of this, I undertook relocating the servers in question to the same server room that houses the Alpha Geek Video servers (Gnomebase Alpha). This migration is now complete.

I apologize for any instability or hassle that was caused by this unplanned transition. Please contact me if you experience any problems.

Coverthon Cometh!

The 24-hour Coverthon will stream live on the Special Event Channel.

From http://coverville.com/coverthon:
On November 27th, the day after Thanksgiving here in the states, I’ll be holding the 6th Annual Coverville Coverthon: 24 hours of Cover songs streamed live!

The guests schedule will be updated here shortly, but expect to see (hear) Scott Johnson, Nicole Spag, Dan Klass, Tim & Michele from Five Hundy by Midnight, Sebastiaan, and a host of other podcast luminaries here chatting and programming their own sets of covers as we go.

Like the pledge drives you see and hear on public TV and radio, this will be a donation drive. I’m doing this to raise money both for Coverville, and for Alzheimer’s Research. Any donations received on this page before or during the event will be split down the middle, with half going to Coverville operating costs (show content, bandwidth, etc.), and the other half donated to the Alzheimer’s Research Foundation. We picked Alzheimer’s because of Tina’s grandmother, who suffered from the disease and passed away a few years ago. We both thought it was a good idea to make this event not entirely about Coverville, and to raise money for a really important charity.

You can pledge any amount using the button below. If you’d like to sponsor an hour of the show, your business or service will be mentioned several times during the hour, and a logo or photo can be placed onscreen in the live stream. You can sponsor an hour with a donation of $150 or more, and (on a first come, first served basis) you can even pick which hour you sponsor, if you have a favorite guest for example.

And there’ll be giveaways! Prizes every hour, in fact, and all you have to do to be eligible is tweet about the Coverthon using the hashtag #coverthon! Every hour, we’ll pull a name at random, and that person will win prizes. We’ll tie it in with trivia with our guests, so your prize packs can grow with every question they get right! And if you make a donation of $50 or more, you’ll automatically get a digital download of your choice of ANY Andrew Allen cover album. If you donate $100 or more, you’ll get digital downloads of ALL FOUR of Andrew’s albums!

Keep checking this page for more information about the guest schedule and to answer any more questions that come up. And thanks, as always, for your support of Coverville!

This Thursday: w00tstock 7.0!

Can't make it to San Diego for Comicon International? We've got you covered! We will be bringing you a little piece of the celebration, Live!

Tune in for the live video and audio streams on Thursday night at 8PM Mountain Time, for an evening of Nerd Approved entertainments. Featuring Wil Wheaton, Adam Savage, Paul and Storm, and special guests Alton Brown, Aisha Tyler, Pat Rothfuss, Phil Plait, Rhea Butcher & more!

"For decades, geeks were ostracized, picked on, laughed at and punished by the sun’s harmful UV rays.  But there is only so long that a people can be kept down before they rise up against their oppressors; and, indeed, the dawn of the 21st century has seen the ascendancy of geeks and geek culture.

We now celebrate that rise to power–and let’s face it, nerds pretty much run everything now–with w00tstock, a special event for geeks of every stripe.  Television host/special-effects artist Adam Savage (“MythBusters”), actor/author/blogger Wil Wheaton (“Star Trek: The Next Generation”, “Stand By Me”) and music-comedy duo Paul and Storm (The Internet, Da Vinci’s Notebook) present a high-energy night of music acts, readings, comedy, demonstrations, short films, special guests, and other clever widgets born from and dedicated to the enthusiasms, obsessions, trials and joys of geek pride.

This is the dawning of the Age of Geekdom–and its voices will ring true at w00tstock."
