Episode 12: Milton Wants to Climb a Tree

The only thing between this episode and number 11 was a pizza. Ustream stopped working, so there's no video, but we managed to clear out a lot of feedback before getting distracted by old memories. There's still a bit remaining, though, and we'll finish it up next week on episode 13. Then we can get back to actual show topics.

VIDEO EPISODE 3: Highlights from our First Live Show

Episode 11 was our first attempt at a live show. It is a collection of some of the more amusing visual moments. Since this is recorded from what we streamed overseas to Ustream, the quality is not ideal. If you actually find it entertaining, you might be inclined to watch the complete video of our show recording on the Brazilianisms Ustream channel, where you'll get to experience a full unedited episode with video.

VIDEO EPISODE 2: Easter Egg

In Brazil there are no Easter baskets or dyed chicken eggs. Instead, people receive large hollow chocolate eggs with candy inside. This video features the egg I got for Simone from Kopenhagen. You can see photos of various Brazilian chocolate eggs, including an interior shot, here. If you're in the US, you can order imported eggs here.

Episode 11: Live Feedback

Milton and I had a lot of fun with this episode, mostly because we did a live video feed on Ustream while we were recording. Unfortunately, all we got were lurkers, so our hopes for viewer feedback on listener feedback went unfulfilled. Still, I think this was one of our better shows, and I may someday edit together a few video clips to make a short movie.
