info@keramcast.com (Keram Malicki-Sanchez) — Mon, 11 May 2009 04:12:50 +0000

In this very special one hour episode, Keram interviews his own flesh-and-blood sister Vanessa on a stopover to Los Angeles during the course of an amazing journey that has taken her from a four-day trek along the Inca Trail to the ancient and magical cloud city of Machu Pichu in Peru to the polluted and technologically advanced cities of the Canton province in China and its wonders untold for a series of tech conventions.

Keram and co-host Aimee Lynn Chadwick hear from Vanessa about unlocking the codes of textiles from one region of the world to another, how the loom is the precursor to the laptop, the critical differences between natural and synthetic fibers and dyes, the lake of floating islands in Peru powered by solar panels, the latest subversive street art from Hong Kong and China, the semiotics of fashion and so much more.

Some Notes and Updates While We Finish the Next Episode

info@keramcast.com (Keram Malicki-Sanchez) — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 13:54:47 +0000

Dear friends of the KeramCast – while we assemble the next episode of KC, I wanted to mention that a film I worked on in 2007 – Marvel Comics’ Punisher: War Zone is out this week via a 2-disc standard DVD and Blu-Ray set. Look for it at your local DVD seller. I loved the film and am proud of what everyone accomplished. If you didn’t get a chance to see it in theaters, treat yourself to a whole lot of fun, and release that pent up rage through it, vicariously.

Also, I invite you to call the KeramCast at our LA studios on (310) 929-7268 and leave your stories about dealing with anxiety. If you do not suffer from an anxiety disorder, you are off the hook. But if you are just shy or nervous talking about it, believe me, you are not alone. We will keep all callers anonymous unless you want us to use your first name and location. We are building a life-changing episode for you based on years of experience with this.

Finally, I want to let you know we are hard at work finishing my new album Come To Life and hope to have it ready for the world by Fall 2009; it takes so much to make a record and even though we live in a fast-consuming and discarding society, the actual manifestation of a vision is formidable. You can purchase/download my acoustic album “Box” at http://cdbaby.com/cd/keram or http://keramsongs.com

Thank you for being a listener and subscriber of the podcast and we look forward to sharing new adventures with you soon!

Keram and crew.

Good News – Everything’s Fixed!

info@keramcast.com (Keram Malicki-Sanchez) — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 23:37:09 +0000

In Terry Gilliam’s brilliant film “Brazil,” a huge chain of events that rocks the very bureaucracy upon which their society is founded, is set off by the act of swatting a fly and that fly falling off the ceiling and into a typewriter.

Well many hours spent agonizing over why our feed wasn’t properly pinging iTunes have come to an end after a single character in a line of code was discovered to be the source of the glitch.

The good news is, everything is working beautifully again and we look forward to churning out new episodes for your listening pleasure.

A Quick Note To Our iTunes Subscribers

info@keramcast.com (Keram Malicki-Sanchez) — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 07:46:13 +0000

Thanks for listening to the KeramCast! We work hard to bring you the best quality content and make sure that everything is working as smoothly as possible so there is no interruption in our catalogue. This last week, however, several plugins that enable us to distribute the podcast to as many outlets as possible were updated and are acting a little funky and we have noticed that the episodes are not woking in iTunes.

Please know that we are working as fast as possible to get this problem fixed and thank you for your patience and understanding. You can still download and stream the podcasts from KeramCast.com itself or subscribe at any number of other podcast outlets like Odeo and Blubrry.

We look forward to being back on iTunes with you and always love to hear your comments.
