I'm not sure if this embed code works correctly, but if not, clicking the monument on the right hand side then makes available a link directly to the archive.


A backup of the aired TFH shows has been made and are available at http://archive.org/details/TinFoilHatShow_501

While I have officially podfaded (yes, this is my formal announcement) I do plan to return once real life isn't quite as time consuming with family medical stuff.  I wanted to make a backup of the Tin Foil Hat Shows made to date in a place where I knew they wouldn't disappear.  The files maintain their jpg stenography embed and the password remains the same as posted in the blog post for episode number 1.

Thanks to you all for your support during my run, I do hope to initiate again, and will post here on my blog again once TFH is relaunched with all the details at that time.

I hope to be making blog posts which aren't as time consuming (relatively speaking) and once back to a routine that supports it I will be looking to produce TFH again.

Tin Foil Hat Show - Episode 022

Episode 22. Moving quickly, but plenty to chat about.  My casts are less rant prone these days as health and family have made it difficult to keep my regular appointments with the microphone.  I hope with the return of school in a month or so that some normalcy will return and I can find one day in which I can do this without conflict.  Sorry for being behind, I'm trying to do better.  Don't take me out of your feeds.  If I ever retire, I will have the decency to drop a good bye show.



New wireless headphones have cleaned up some of my audio.  Less difficult to get a recording that doesn't need a lot of post production work just to sound decent.  This show has quite a few stories in there that I fly over, please do get the shownotes and read the full articles on any story that interests you.  If you are unable to get the shownotes out, please write me at tinfoilhatshow@gmail.com and I'll send you direct url's if you need them.


In this episode I review the Dan Carlin podcasts "Common Sense" and "Hardcore History". Dan has a great mind and presents history in a light and with enthusiasm that few can deliver, the fact that he does so in audio only is enough to make me wish to be a student again, if I could name him my history and political science teacher.

Tin Foil Hat Show - Episode 021

Episode 21. I had to make up for a lot.  I know I have been way behind.  Lots of Europe news in this episode and not really as an intentional move, just kinda worked out that way.


I do still have some audio hookup problems that I'm currently working through with the use of some duct tape.  I should be getting that resolved in the next month or so as a friend has recommended a bluetooth headset from Logitech.


In this episode I review the Frank Skinner show from Absolute Radio.  Dry British witty humor, is calm and relaxing and takes me to a childhood of Monty Python and Faulty Towers re-runs without the pictures.  Have a listen, you might enjoy this slightly slower paced comedy as well.

Tin Foil Hat Show - Episode 020

Episode 20. My audio may sound a little worse than usual,  I may need to find the right filter mix/combo that makes that sound better.  I worry that with my usb headset now producing hum no matter what I plug into that the Android phone may become the closest thing I have to a solid piece of recording gear.  Maybe will all of my google ad sense money ($0.00) I'll buy a fancy usb mixer.   Anyway, It's clean audio, it just finally started picking up the echo I have in my office where I record.  I'll work on the post production to see if I can help that.


This episode's Podcast review was for Democracy Now.  A liberal, but professional news report weekdays for an hour.  Video and audio feeds available.  I personally feel that getting a different view on the same story, or a chance to hear the voices that don't make it to the main stream media is helpful in analyzing a situation.

Tin Foil Hat Show - Episode 019

Episode 19. I great feedback session in this one.  I'm truly happy that something I said was worth enough thought, energy and passion for someone to write in.  I have one of the most simple, but maybe the lamest tech tip ever in this episode.  I'll ask you all not to be too harsh on me for that one.  And I do make a genuine solicitation for feedback in this episode.  I really do want to know how you guys feel before I just start busting out stuff that drives listeners off.

This episode's Podcast review was of the Knightcast.  I've enjoyed Knightwise's podcast participation from back when he made regular appearances on Fresh Ubuntu Podcast where I was producing the Man Page Minute for some episodes.  Anyway, have a listen.

Tin Foil Hat Show - Episode 017

Episode 17. I'm proud to present the latest entry into the Tin Foil Hat Show Archive :). Only a minor rant but I think a good discussion. I did hope to have more stuff for the interwebbing section of the show, maybe I'll do an extended segment on the next show.

This episode's Podcast review was of the The Command Line by Thomas Gideon. I've done a review of this podcast back in June of 2009. And I have to say that over the time the quality of the podcast is the same, the output much more regular than mine and I would recommend this show to anyone as much today as I would have back in 2009 if you had asked.

Tin Foil Hat Show - Episode 016

Episode 16. Well, the edits on this show were a joy (means there were none).  But it did take me quite a bit longer to finally get back to my desk for this.  I won't blame the recently soft-moded wii, but it sure didn't help

This episode's Podcast review was of the Jimmy Dore's political podcast.    I think it's an absolute comedy gold mine.  I smile if I don't laugh. I really enjoy it since it brings the comedy of the late night Comedy Network shows to an audio podcast.  Those shows have quite a few visuals that don't translate the audio divide, but this one is all audio, all the time.  And with all the difficult _real_ news out there, I'm happy to have one more comedy podcast to my mix.

Tin Foil Hat Show - Episode 015

Episode 15. Time to talk fast.  After missing my release by a week I come to the mic with short and to the point format for the TFH.  Trying to improve the output of the show and reduce the editing.

This episode's Podcast review was of the Hacker Public Radio Podcast network.  Podcasts by the community for the community it is one of the truly listener driven podcast networks because if the listeners didn't do it, there wouldn't be any.  It's a great forum for anyone to produce a one-off show that is important to the individual or even for a short series of podcasts on a single topic without the overhead of a complete podcast production payload.  Make sure you go look at the list of shows they have, and if you would like for there to be a show on your favorite topic....well then there is no excuse, it's time for you to make it!

Tin Foil Hat Show - Episode 014

Episode 14. Back after family vacation and returning to the normal school schedule the Tin Foil Hat show returns with episode 14.  Where topics turn into rants, errata galore, disclaimers are made and gpg is proven easy.

This episode's Podcast review was of the Jim Hightower Lowdown.  From acclaimed author and political commentator Jim Hightower.  Don't go looking for another Daily Show or Stephen Colbert, this is real commentary made with real supporting evidence and citations like real journalism.

Tin Foil Hat Show - Episode 013

Episode 13. Glad I'm not superstitious.  In this episode I try to cover a lot quick due to my personal interruptions.  I'll try to be better, but raises a point.  Would you rather hear CafeNinja in low quality recordings from the road, or wait for better quality recordings when back home?  Write in, let me know.  Also, a very brief update on the Personal Cloud.

This episode's Podcast review involved all the podcasts from Frostbite Media.  If you don't know the man, get to know the content.  Jonathan Nadeau star of his own network.

Featured Interview on The Frostcast

Hey CafeNinja fans, yes there is one of you.  I just wanted to say that I was interviewed on Jonathan Nadeau's podcast called the Frostcast in association with his entire Frostbite empire.

I have a lot of respect for Johnathan and try to treat him as any other of our geek peers as he has done an amazing job of standing on his own and being independent.  If you want to know more about why that may or may not be impressive, please visit his blog site, store and 4 podcasts he produces and be as impressed with him as I am.

In this interview (which was long) we talk about a wide range of topics most of which are Tin Foil Hat related, so please go find his Frostcast feed or search for "Frostcast" in iTunes, and have a listen.  Probably you should subscribe since I will be doing a follow up interview with him in regards to my personal cloud server experiment.  Never mind that he has great content and has had some really good interviews.

Tin Foil Hat Show - Episode 012

Episode 12. In this episode there were updates on a few bits of legislation that are going through and I get on my soapbox a little bit more than usual.  I gave a quick update on the Personal Cloud project and remind everyone to double check any extensions as new flavors of Firefox are coming up and just around the corner.

This episode's Podcast review was The Kernel Panic Oggcast.  I also talk about oggcasts as well as ways to play them.

This episode's Podcast review was donated to the SouthEast Linux Festival where I give a quick run-down and play their amusing promo.

Podcast Review Promo material

I'm a bad podcaster, but I have proven that I am a worse producer.

Here is all the promo material that was sent to me after I requested it.  To the defense and credit of these podcasters they were replying to my message that I was ususally sending as recording or just before and none of them really had time to get back to me before post-production was done.

But I did want everyone to hear the promo material that I didn't have for podcasts that I have reviewed that WAS sent to me.

So first for Keith and the Girl, Chema (the glorious) sent me the link to their promo video.



Dann from The Linux Link Tech Show, who I caught on vacation with my request for promo material, sent me the intro music for the show as well as the newest and greatest audio promo for their podcast.


Again, my apologies to the the other podcasters out there that I have "snubbed" by not getting their promo material before I released my podcast, I will confess without exception, that this was always my fault and not theirs.

Enjoy these promo reels and I'll try to give the next "victim" advance notice.  :)

Tin Foil Hat Show - Episode 010

Episode 10. In this episode a slightly geeky Tech Talk, as I talk about how to make a multi-boot USB key. Imagine your operating system and personal data in your pocket and able to use 80% of the computers on the planet to boot up and have all of your stuff. Make the "multi" part many, make it few, make it technical, make it fun. I talk about it in this episode of the Tin Foil Hat Show.

Fifth instalment of the podcast review segment. My favorite and only comedy podcast Keith and the Girl. This one is gritty, edgy outta NYC and I think it's a blast.

Tin Foil Hat Show - Episode 009

Episode 9.  The discussion of bringing your web services back to you along with a discussion of your information and what value it has.


In this episode I also offer my first support for a Linux Festival in the Podcast Review section of the show.  The Indiana Linux Fest will be kicking off their inaugural event on the 25-27 March and I was asked to send out the word.  I have the promo in the podcast and I'll make a special blog post tomorrow with additional details.

Forth instalment of the podcast review segment (I might have to stop counting soon).  I discussed our friends over at The Linux Link Tech Show and talk about the crew over there.

Tin Foil Hat Show - Episode 008

Episode 8.  My first "Tech Talk" episode where I will dive into the Trucrypt software.  I do hope that someone out there might actually discover that privacy on a personal computer does still exist and can be accomplished wihtout needing to be an elite hacker or a programmer.  I would be remiss if I didn't confess that I hope to hear feedback on this episode to see how people besides myself use the software in their day-to-day and keep their personal private data secure and way from prying eyes.

Third instalment of the podcast review segment appears in this episode.  I reviewed No Agenda and their political podcast which has it's own unique "tin foil hat" qualities too.

Episode 7. I had guilt as to my late release, so I made up for it in this and this episode is a little longer than usual.  I'm thinking to bring up some of the topics that didn't make it into the show here in the blog.  But I am also hesitant to do that since I really do want that in the show.  I've more thinking to do on that.

Second podcast review appears in this episode.  I reviewed my other partner in crime at The Fuzion Podcast network K5TUX and his QSK podcast.

Guest Appearance on The Linux Link Tech Show

Hey CafeNinja fans.  Ok, fan.  In November of 2010 I was a guest host on TLLTS Podcast.  Recently I was also a guest and was interviewed on the show.  It ran so long that it got dropped into the TLLTS feed as a single episode.

Feel free to go listen and I would highly recommend you listen to the show and add it to your podcast feed if you haven't already.  They guys there are a lot of fun to listen to, but don't expect them to stay on topic, if you do, you will be disappointed.  If you liked the interview with me be sure to send

Tin Foil Hat Show - Episode 006

Episode 6. I feel this one was strong and I tried to use some of my "big words" when feeling like swearing.   I do think this one was a slightly stronger showing than my last one.  I really am sorry this one was late out, with business travel, holidays and small crisis at home I got delayed a lot more than I had intended.

First podcast review appears in this episode.  I reviewed my partners in crime at The Fuzion Podcast network, that is the boys from Alt3red Egos and their comic book podcast, listen to the show to know what I had to say about them.
