TV Oracle Podcast #3: Springtime for Airline and Best Week Ever
This week, the Oracles introduce their picks for the first "Diamonds in the Rough" segment, designed to introduce listeners to a few TV shows they may not be aware of. Blake's pick is VH-1's Best Week Ever, the pop culture version of The Daily Show. Reality show-junkie Clarence's pick is Airline, a show that has been unfairly ignored due to the current distaste for the more game show-oriented reality shows. Next, Clarence offers an early review of The Producers, the adaptation of the celebrated Broadway musical, and a review of The Family Stone, a complex family dramedy masquerading as a date movie.
Finally, somebody must have spiked the TV Oracle Kool-Aid because Blake offers up the longest Final Word(s) yet about a recent experience with internet piracy. Meanwhile, Clarence's rampant ADD tries its best to derail the conversation.

TV Oracle Podcast #2: TV and Narnia and Globes, Oh My!
In its second week, the TV Oracle Podcast oracles discuss downloadable TV: is it necessary? Will it change the way we view television or television programming? Has Hollywood embraced the medium enough for widespread acceptance? Next, Clarence reviews The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Does the film live up to C.S. Lewis's beloved novel? Does it even match the dizzying heights of the recent Lord of the Rings trilogy? Also, the Oracles discuss their reactions to the recent left-field Golden Globe nominations. Finally, Clarence lets loose and strikes out at a large segment of the Internet population in The Final Word.
Additionally, we've sprinkled in a few treasured memories from TV Past. Hope you enjoy.

TV Oracle Podcast #1: A TV Oracle Christmas
We've been talking about it and teasing it on the website for weeks. It's finally here. Ladies and gentlemen... the very first TV Oracle podcast!!! But that's not the only big change...
With the introduction of the weekly TV Oracle podcast, the website will change a bit over the next week. We've decided to spread our wings a bit and open up the site to as many pop culture topics as possible. We will remain The TV Oracle, but our focus will now emcompass movies, books, music, and so forth. Anything and everything. It's an open field. So, look for changes in the website over the next week and through the Holiday season.
The podcast certainly was fun to produce, and we hope you all enjoy it as much as we have. Send us your feedback, but please keep in mind that we're still working out a thing or two with the technical aspects of it all.
Enjoy!
Clarence
