A Note About the Podcast

So first off, Glee premiered last week and I have to say I thought it was AWESOME! I'm soo pumped for tomorrow's Brittney episode. We (the Oral Intensity crew) had planned on recording an episode about Auditions today but unfortunately due to scheduling and technical difficulties we weren't able to. Our plan now is to record an episode this coming weekend about the first two episodes of season 2. Sorry to keep you guys waiting but at least this way we can stick to our old format of two eps a podcast. With luck episode 10 will be up by this Sunday. Also, if you've sent us an email recently and we haven't sent anything back we're very sorry. We'll make sure to respond soon, we've just been bogged down with schoolwork. Who'da thunk college was actually hard? Stay Gleeky everybody!

Ep 9.5: Journey to Regionals

On this episode of Oral Intensity, a podcast about FOX's hit TV show Glee, Dan and Clara discuss the finale of season one, entitled Journey. This is the second part of episode 9 of the podcast. We recorded 9 as one big episode but decided to split it into two parts so we have no news in this episode. In this second half, we finally get to talk about the finale and debate about whether it was better than Sectionals. We wrap up the episode by talking about our plans for season 2.

Ep 9: Theatricality and Funk

On this ninth episode of Oral Intensity, a podcast about FOX's hit TV show Glee, Dan and Clara discuss the 20th, and 21st episodes of season one, entitled Theatricality and Funk. With Dylan away at college, we set into this episode hoping to talk about the last three episodes of the season (including the finale). We went a little overboard and our podcast for the last three episodes was over an hour and a half so we decided to split it up into two episodes. Part two of this podcast, where we talk about the finale, will be up by tomorrow hopefully. We start this episode out with some fun Glee news and then go into our thoughts on the episodes. Please send us your comments to oralintensitypodcast@gmail.com and visit our blog for some great glee news. The music for this week's podcast includes two songs by Lady Gaga: Speechless and Paparazzi. Please subscribe to us and rate us on iTunes. Also, sorry for this one being such a large file size. Even with splitting the ep up this was still one of the longer eps and I don't know how to compress the file.

On this eighth episode of Oral Intensity, a podcast about FOX's hit TV show Glee, Dan, Clara, and Dylan discuss the 17th, 18th, and 19th episodes of season one, entitled Bad Reputation, Laryngitis, and Dream On.

Emmys, Promos, and Some News

Hey everyone! It's been a bit since I put anything up on here since I've been busy with my first week of college but a lot has happened in the past week and a half gleewise. I thought I'd talk about all the news on here since we finished recording episode 9 a while ago and won't be recording another one till season 2 starts. First off, Glee won 4 Emmys which is great (though considering they were up for like a million it's not a whole lot). Neil Patrick Harris won for best guest star in a comedy (you'll hear my feelings on this in episode 9 of the podcast). Also, Ryan Murphy won for his outstanding directing and the show won for best sound-mixing in a comedy for Power of Madonna. Lastly, and most importantly, Jane Lynch won for best supporting actress in a comedy! The Emmys themselves actually started out with a really great musical skit involving the Glee kids which you can watch below if you missed it.



Now, beyond all the Emmy hubbub, there has been quite a bit of other Glee news. There may be some minor SPOILERS going down here so reader beware... though really it's just fun stuff and I'm only saying that for the spoiler freaks. This set of news doesn't include the stuff we talked about during episode 9 of the podcast so look out for that sometime next week. Ok so multiple sources that I've seen have confirmed that Jessie will in deed be back next season though we don't know how much. Clara, as any loyal OI listener would guess, kind of spazzed about that news. Also, Jane Lynch confirmed that Kurt's boyfriend has been cast and it is almost definitely Chord Overstreet. By the way, I have links to all this info but I'm honestly just way too lazy to put them in. There has also been a ton of talk of Finn being all about Rachel this season and some hints of them going kind of excessive on the PDA front.

There has also been some rumors of the football team doing "Stronger" in the Brittney Spears episode. Ask Ausiello has, as usual, provided a ton new glee tidbits as well. According to him a series regular will find him or herself in a life or death situation in episode 3 of the season. That same episode will deal with the fallout of the whole Burt/ Finn situation. Also, apparently Ryan Murphy still hasn't put much thought into casting the two gay dads so... I guess we won't be seeing them anytime soon. I think that's pretty much everything... EXCEPT we have promos! Really awesome promos! One of them is embedded below. To watch another promo click here. It starts off with some annoying girls talking but just fastforward through them. If you want to watch a cool video Mark Salling made about Glee (which is kind of old) click here. By the way, most of this news comes to you thanks to our awesome listener Elise! Thanks Elise!
