Where are your new Scope shows?
August 10, 2008 | Posted by: Shane
Get off our backs! It’s summer and all we want to do is pour ourselves a freshly-squeezed glass of lemonade (or Country Time, if we’re lazy), belly up to the old swimmin’ hole, and let the smoldering sun leather up our Speedo-clad bodies.
What that means to you, the loyal Scope listener, is that you won’t get another new show until early next week. But we promise we’ll be back with tales of vacation, action figure hunts, and New Kids on the Block. Until then, enjoy your summer…we’ll be talking at you before you know it.

Scope Potpourri: Oscars, MarsCON, Next Show -Updated
March 2, 2008 | Posted by: The Scope
It’s been a busy three weeks for your Scope hosts. Adam has been toiling away at his new job, Jared has been busily preparing for and performing at MarsCON 2008, and Shane has beaten one full level of Call of Duty 4. So all in, all, a lot has been accomplished.
That being said, we’ve got some unfinished business to cover as well as disseminate a little bit of Scope news. Let’s begin.
THE SCOPE OSCAR PICKING COMPETITION
Even without picking any of the female acting categories, frequent contributor to the show, Molly, picked five of seven categories correctly. Congratulations, Molly! You truly are the entertainment expert..for 2007.
THE SPECIAL SCOPE MARSCON 2008 SHOW
…it never happened. While we had big plans to make a big splash at the convention, we failed to follow through. To quote Marsha Brady, “Something suddenly came up.” And that something involved whisky drinks, lager drinks, vodka drinks, and cider drinks. We promise we’ll cover the MarsCON comings and goings in the next Scope episode!
THE NEXT SCOPE EPISODE!
When will we record and post it? We plan on heading back into the Scope subterranean studios to record a show that will be available March 17th! But until then, check out an older show, visit the brand new Possible Oscar site, and flood us with comments and questions! You know you want to.
Thanks, everybody.
Sincerely,
Your Scope Hosts

The Scope wishes everyone a Merry Christmas (or whatever the hell you celebrate)!
December 25, 2007 | Posted by: The Scope
Your Scope Crew hopes every single Scope listener (all six of you) has a happy, healthy, and safe holiday season. Whether it is Christmas, Hanukkah, or some other event that floats your boat, please enjoy it. And continue to listen to our podcast. And, as motivating factor to keep tuning in, here’s our holiday portrait. You can’t imagine how hard it was to get these four egomaniacs (especially Earl - and how did he get in there, anyway?!?!) to dress up, catch a little of the holiday spirit, and take this delightful photo.
Ho Ho Ho!

The Scope Puts Its Mark on CONvergence. Again.
July 11, 2007 | Posted by: The Scope
Once again — although in a much more subdued capacity — your Scope hosts (sans Adam, because he’s far too good for costumes, Dr. Who, and the combined smell of B.O. and nacho cheese sauce) crashed the festival known as CONvergence. For those of you that don’t remember, CONvergence is the largest sci-fi and fantasy convention in Minnesota. It’s quite a big to-do in the world of Midwestern geekdom, so we were happy to attend. To make things even more interesting, Jared’s band, Possible Oscar, performed a great set and had an equally great response. Along with semi-frequent Scope guest, John, Jared played a number of songs found on his album, The Wrath of Con, and premiered a new parody based on a U2 classic. Look for it on The FuMP July 13.
CONvergence wasn’t all business, however. There were obnoxious amounts of liquor (see picture of our good friend, Mike and his run-in with Scope marketing), Stormtrooper costumes, and G.I. Joe chest hair (thanks, Earl!… Thearl). And it is all documented in a sweet collection of photos. Take a look, and we’ll talk more about our nutty CONvergence experiences on the next episode of The Scope.

VH1 Rips Off The Scope (But We Ripped Them Off First…)
July 9, 2007 | Posted by: The Scope
Attention Scope Fan(base):
The second VH1 World Series of Pop Culture began this week. Color us surprised that a tiebreaker question between teams “The White Russians” and “Remo-Leen-Teen-Teen” was one we used on last year’s Scope World Series of Pop Culture.
The tiebreaker question: Steven Spielberg movies. It really is a case of life imitating art.
At any rate, tune into VH1’s spectacle this week (it really is a fun show for all of you pop culture nerds out there) and be warned: The second edition of The Scope World Series of Pop Culture will return this fall. Feel free to email us at The Scope if you are interested in competing AND if you’ve got some serious pop culture knowledge.

We Survived CONvergence. Sorta.
July 10, 2006 | Posted by: Shane
Hey everybody, it’s your Scoperfriends here, just letting you all know that we made it through the Midwest’s biggest Science Fiction convention without serious physical injuries…but the mental side is another story.
We here at The Scope, with the help from old friends and new, did our very best to cover all of the activity at CONvergence in our own special way.
Yes, we have crazy stories to tell. Yes, we recorded a show. No, it’s not ready yet. And yes, we’re working hard to bring the results to you in the next episode of The Scope…and beyond. When will it be ready? Well, that’s to be determined. But when it is ready, it will be awesome. Oh yeah!
Finally, before we sign off, we want to extend a hearty “Thanks!” to all the people that helped out and supported the show this weekend. You’ll get your individual props…just not now.
More later…
