We’re back! This could be described as our St. Patrick’s Day episode, (as done in the style of NPR). So, naturally, there is lots of talk about alcohol and a Celtic song in this one. It was the very first episode that we did live on Mixlr. This episode is also the first one where I’m doing the show notes instead of Shawn (something that has never happened in our entire history of podcasting together).
* Thank you to ROOStar and MooGyver for hanging out with us on Mixlr!
* Those of you who are really bored can check out the trial run that Shawn did on Mixlr. It’s archived there, so why not?
Boozin’!
* We share the story of how we managed to find the Carolans at the BevMo.
* Carolans is gluten-free
* BevMo!
* Dan Murphy’s
* Bailey’s – not gluten-free
* Jack Daniel’s – is gluten-free
* Shawn shares the story of how he found his favorite drink, ever.
* Buffalo Trace Bourbon – possibly gluten-free
Not Boozin’!
* Shawn shares his story about learning how to coffee.
* Surprise visits from strangers, bearing Starbucks through Favor.
* What’s in McDonald’s Shamrock Shakes? (You may not want to know).
* Try this Copycat Shamrock Shake instead. You can do it with either milk or soy (depending on your allergies).
This, of course, leads to a conversation about McRib, and McPizza and a discussion about fast food places going out of business. R00Star sent us a link to an NPR article about some of the weird stuff Elvis ate. Makes you hungry, yet horrified.
* Moving towards better health, Shawn reviews an app called Couch to 5K.
Video Games
* Listen to the very first ever (it’s actually the second) No Market Radio live SongPop challenge! Do you play SongPop? See if you can beat Shawn. Send him a friend request at Facebook.com/shawnmx if you want to play.
* ROOStar checked out the No Market website and found a lot of Diablo stuff. Why? Jen does a Diablo III podcast (with Nevik, Breja, and Lanntonio) called Shattered Soulstone on the Dawnforge network.
Somewhere in here might be what Shawn was trying to remember:
* Do they have porcupines in Australia? Is an echidna a porcupine?
By the end, we bring it all back to St. Patrick’s Day.
In Chicago, they dye the river green for St. Patrick’s Day:
This got talked about earlier, but I thought it would be nice to see a video.
* We played Talking to Walls, with a song called “Black Hearts Parade”.

Ok, I’m here to spread my knowledge! That sound pretentious enough for an NPR-y show? I want to fit into the new format, after all. BevMo is short for Beverages & More, which is the name they used to go by. They are definitely a wonderland for people who enjoy imbibing alcoholic libations. (See I could do NPR.)
Gluten is a thing we pay close attention to here. Our kids get much worse eczema whenever they get a hold of too much. So, I spot gluten free everywhere. I can’t remember if it was Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods, but I know I’ve seen gluten free beer. I don’t know anything about it because the kids aren’t quite old enough for those yet. They do exist though if the desire ever does strike you.

Jen, you can record your screen with Quicktime X which comes with your Mac if you want to record your gaming sessions. I have both Songpop and Couchto5K. I’ve tried Couchto5k, but I couldn’t make it through the first workout so I need to try again.
