Hi, I’m Senator Scott Rupp. And I have been fighting for the rights of families and children affected by autism for the past several years.

This year, in Missouri as well as several other states, we’re very close to giving insurance coverage for the treatment of autism. We hope that you will help us make a difference in the lives of millions across the nations and in your state by contacting your state legislators and saying that autism is important to you, and they need to continue the battle.

We want you to log on to the 2GuysTalking website at 2GuysTalking.com/autism. There you’ll find contacts, links, and more to lead the next important stage in our battle against autism.

Thank you for your efforts and your time, and I’m Senator Scott T. Rupp, and I hear the 2GuysTalking effort to stamp out autism.

One has to wonder what the 8th season of the hit FOX show 24 would have looked like with just a few writing alterations and a couple of character additions this year. Well, you know what? It would have a lot like this episode—episode 18, of 24 season 8. Ultra-solid pacing, lots of information, the full spectrum of acting across the board, and even the introduction of characters you love to hate from previous seasons!

A fan recently wrote in with a quote that feels terribly appropriate, as we launch this episode of the 2GuysTalking 24 podcast, reviewing episode 18. It reads, “It looks like Palmer will go down as the only president on 24 that truly got what Jack Bauer is. He’s the only one who really understood that Jack is the ‘break glass in case of emergency and get the hell out of the way’ kind of guy. President Taylor is about to see what makes Jack ‘Jack, the relentless pursuit of justice that steamrolls whoever gets in its way—terrorist or president.”

And with that, we start the episode 18 review of 24 season 8 here, on the 2GuysTalking 24 podcast! Sponsored by Sprint’s Relay Missouri, Acoustica’s Mixcraft recording software, and Ability Interpreting.

Public Relations (PR) - What is It?

(Small Business Communications Podcast Intro begins: typewriter feeding in paper is heard. The typewriter’s guide arm slaps into place. Typing begins as the music begins to fade in…) Small businesses are one vital component of the American economy that manage to weather any financial storm. They are the foundation of what makes opportunities for millions each and every day. My name is Kent Martin. I’ve seen just about every kind of business model there is over the years. Some are strong, others have endured and some - well - if there weren’t bad ones we couldn’t understand how great the good ones are, right? So join me as I share perspectives, theories and outright facts about how businesses both large and small communicate and how YOU can strengthen and improve your company communications during the 2GuysTalking Small Business Communications Podcast.  (Typewriter bell dings)

What a time to be in business for yourself! Yet this is the very time when you need to look to the future when times will be better. Now is the time to start reaching your audience with your vision. And one way to do it … is with public relations.

Everyone has a different opinion of PR. Some see it as free advertising. Others call it “spin.” Still others struggle to see any value in it because its effectiveness is not easy to measure. At least with advertising, you see the final product. Your audience may remember where they saw the ad.

It may be easier to understand if we talk about what PR is … and what it is not.

“Villains make the best Heroes.”  It’s a phrase I’ve heard from a friend over and over.  Marvel has made many heroes from this principle–Hawkeye, Black Widow, Rogue and periodically Magneto.  Well, Heroes is about to do the same with Sylar, only like Magneto, it shouldn’t work.

What to say about Heroes?  Since my last review, a great deal has happened, and yet it doesn’t feel like it amounted to a great deal.  One week, I’m think, “cool, finally, they got it right.”  Then the next week, we’re back to “yawn.”  Finally I realized what the show feels like.  Have you ever ridden in a car with someone just learning to drive a car with a manual transmission?  It simply isn’t a smooth ride;  too many jerky motions.   That’s how the ride this year has felt.

Thanksgiving 2009 comes and goes as does a week devoid of FlashForward. 7 more days pass and a Thursday evening arrives and the 10th episode of FlashForward appears as the 7pm chime arrives. What will this week of FlashForward hold for us? Is the action cocked, locked and ready to rock it’s way into the Xmas season? We’ll find out as we initiate this week’s 2GuysTalking FlashForward Podcast for episode 1 - A561984 - here on The 2GuysTalking Podcast Network.

– The bell tolling on a different wall: As this week’s episode begins, a clock tower chimes as we pan past a very familiar but different wall inside of our Iranian Mystery Woman’s office. On it are a number of familiar clues and many new ones that we’ve not yet had the chance to review. I’m curious: Those of you that do the whole “freeze frame and put the pics on your Facebook galleries - what do YOU see that’s different? Are they things that are completely unrelated or are they items that we might be familiar with? Her being a world away literally probably means that all of the things that we see that aren’t Agent Noh-based are more than likely different, but what might we expect in the coming weeks? In the new “season?” Let us know by accessing our website at FlashForwardPodcast.Com and tell us the differences, now!

– Being one of the potentially murdered: Wow: Great television shows have a definitive habit of making “groups” of people and this one is another that I think could make for an entire offshoot  for a television series that would ROCK. Those that haven’t had FlashForwards (for all intents and purposes) are dead at the time of the FlashForward. but why? Was it chance that took their lives? Were they, like Agent Noh, murdered? Seeing as that they’ve already developed the special group via the FBI for investigations, wouldn’t it follow that they could also do something in the way of an X-Files-based group that did nothing but hunt and investigate the “potential murders” of those that either come to them for help, contact them via the Internet/MOSAIC program or are brought to them by a head agency that sees the people brought to light as people that are “key players?” Doesn’t that sound interesting? Let us know what YOU think of that idea. We know that television is aching for new, innovative storytelling and this idea sounds pretty cool to us!

Now we know.  For the first time since this season began, we now know why the “Ink Man” Samuel is a threat.  Finally, we know what the heroes must fight and finally it is finally making sense.

Ah, now this is more like it, “Shadowboxing”, the latest episode of Heroes, is what Heroes should be about.  The Ink Man’s mind shows through, cracks appear in the relationship between father and daughter and Matt once more proves he can’t do anything right. Read the rest of this entry »

The 2GuysTalking FlashForward Podcast has endured 2 solid weeks of content that leaned torward the particularly gooney side as we weathered two weeks of strangely created ABC-based television. This week, FlashForward provided what we consider their strongest offering in an episode called “The Gift” which truly is a gift. Puzzle pieces abound, twisty-turns await and an individual determined to showcase that fate can be guided differently than what every one sees in late April makes the boldest statement possible. All this and more awaits in this episode of The 2GuysTalking FlashForward Podcast…

This review, like many of my online feature film and television review podcasts, will be done in a “stream of consciousness” format, providing you essentially what I think as the episode airs. Follow along to the points provided herein and be sure to chime in and tell us what YOU think of this episode of FlashForward…

– Prelogue: The entry into this episode was another different offering and it makes me wonder if they’re just kind of test firing the beginning of each episode to see what kind of launch they like at the beginning of the episodes. This one is much stronger than the last two weeks to be sure and considering the subject matter in this episode, it’s terribly appropriate. If we look at the launch of episode one, two and three, this falls in line with those in 4th place. In OUR opinion, episode two and three had the strongest openings to date.

– Dear Celia: For those that aren’t familiar with how our podcasts are created, we’ll watch the episode, make notes and then come back and flesh in the bullet points that are then conveyed enthusasitically into each of the points of the podcast. Celia, referred to here, is one of the most stark representations of the power of this program and something that we’ll detail later on in this review podcast. Needless to say, their storytelling kung fu in this episode is strong.
