Rise from your Grave! – Episode 77
What? Do my ears deceive me? Is that Helix Nebula I hear? It can’t be? A new Blue Yonder?! Yes, while it is true that we put BY in mothballs to concentrate on TV casting, every once in a while we feel the need to cut loose and get a little old-school, off-topic ranty, and our brief off-season has...

GENCON Square Down – Episode 75
We are back after last week’s hiatus. Honestly, I’m heartbroken we lost the Jim Jones Experiment. It was an hour long mind fuck of yours truly by Jim Jones, and it was weird, it was uncomfortable, it was hilarious by the end, and it would have been legendary, and then Jim deleted it, with no...
-

Ian Samuel, Esquire, Interview – Episode 70

Truffle Shuffle – Episode 69
This is a terrible cast. I honestly wouldn’t listen to it, if I were you. I mean, I gotta keep it real, right? I can’t say how awesome our casts are and it mean anything and then drop a turd and talk it up, yeah? Yeah. Thing is, I’m not sure why it flopped on it’s face. We had some good bullshit…
more -
The Seven Deadly Degrees of Bacon – Episode 68
The guys release ultra-devastating power on the unsuspecting listeners this week. First, A.Ron is incredulous with Jim’s shunning of the fantastic game, Angry Birds (now free on Chrome!), talks about how awesome Infamous 2 is, and declares that X-Men: First Class blows the lid off the Bacon game...

-
To Roger With Love – Episode 63
The fans have been clammoring (clammoring!) for Jim and A.Ron to sing a duet of the inimitable Garth Brook’s “Low Places” for over a year now. Actually, that’s a lie. But!

more -
Salty Freedom – Episode 57
Here’ the deal, loyal listener. I have no idea what this cast is about, cause I wasn’t a part of recording it. I’m sure there will be reprisals from bagging on Jim last week, so no matter what cock-and-bull story they come up with, know this: instead of casting, I was spending quality time with…

Unboxed – Episode 51

Double Rainbow – Episode 47
A very special episode of Blue Yonder this week, as the guys discuss a serious topic; gays and geekdom. The geek community has a rep for being open minded and progressive, but is that warranted? Why aren’t there more gay role models/heroes in science fiction, fantasy, and video games in general?...

Watersports – Episode 46
I know what you’re thinking. This is the Blue Yonder crew. I’m NOT listening to any damn thing that is tagged “watersports!” I know! I know. But listen, it’s not about what you’re thinking. Mostly not. Maybe a little? But it’s totally in a video game context, so I’m sure you can deal. If not, I...
