As I noted yesterday, the season premiere of Chuck was last night and Kirsten and I were pretty amped about it. I actually saw a leaked copy last week, but Kirsten threatened to defenestrate me if I let slip any details. So, without any further delays, please enjoy our post-screening rundown presented in glorious AIMcast:
Kirsten: I just want to start out by saying that I was watching Chuck before it was cool.
Kirsten: I actually distinctly remember telling Neal to watch it and him saying that he didn't think it was worthwhile
Neal: All hail Kirsten, the hipster of Chuck
Kirsten: Thank you
Kirsten: So
Kirsten: Premiere: awesome
Neal: I thought the premiere was suitably cute/dorky/funny
Kirsten: Yes
Neal: Also, do girls really put on their dresses all sexy like that?

The season premiere of Chuck is tonight (8pm EST) and I'm pretty excited. I got into the show during winter break last year and I enjoyed it a lot. As with Entourage, the main character is irrelevant. Chuck's peers provide a steady stream of comedy and entertainment. Considering how popular aging comedies likes Scrubs and the recently shark-jumped How I Met You Mother are, I figured it would take off quickly. Unfortunately the WGA strike happened and the rest is history. But that's all water under the bridge, Chuck is back with a full 22 episode season!
AudioShocker contributor and food blogger extraordinaire Kirsten will be joining me for a postmortem AIMcast directly following the broadcast; the transcript will be up tomorrow.
As regular readers of the AudioShocker, you have no doubt learned a lot about Nick and me. Nick's forays into the comics industry, my proclivities, and our collective feelings on vocoders are far from guarded secrets.
Here's the thing: The AudioShocker is a lot more than just me and Nick. Have you ever listened to an AFI Podcast? Perhaps you enjoy the occasional AIMCast? I know you read our book reviews. All of those feature one or two of our contributors, the AudioShocker Super Six: Justique, Pete, Kirsten, Conrad, Shannon, and Ro. By day they are ordinary professionals, but as the sun descends they lace up their boots and hit the mean streets for The AudioShocker.
Until now, these not-so-caped crusaders have stood behind the scenes content to put in work - but no longer! We can not stand idly by while these heroes go unnoticed and unappreciated. We have rectified the situation by creating a contributors page to put faces to names. The link is located right up there in the header in between Nick and Feedback. See for yourself just how steaming hot our in house super hero staff is. Spend some time reading their bios and learning about their secret alter egos. Who knows, you even may develop a super-crush!
As Nick noted earlier, there is no podcast this week. But all is not lost! I rounded up our two favorite readers Ro and Kirsten (Sorry Gotham and Tom), for another super duper AIMcast! So join us as we discuss old comics, Scrubs, Mad Men, Flight of the Conchords, Hillary / Obama / McCain and the presidential race, ugly shoes including Ugg Boots and Crocs, Sandler's new movie You Don't Mess With the Zohan, our dislike for Sex and The City, the plight of Borders Bookstores, and so much more.
Once again, special thanks to Kirsten for her excellent editing and Ro for taking time out of her super busy Sunday night.

Ro: or no?
Neal: Neh, it doesn't.
