What excellent timing for a dynamite second episode. As I was doing the final mixing I took a quick look in iTunes today to see if Mysterious Universe had been accepted into the store and low and behold there we are sitting at no.5 in the Science Category!

Lets see if the MU army can push us into the number one spot. Head over to your country’s iTunes store, subscribe to Mysterious Universe (unsubscribe and then re-subscribe to push us up the list), give us a nice review, and then download this juicy new episode.

    I’m enjoying the show, but Mysterious Universe really doesn’t belong in the Science category of iTunes…

  • EMK

    So glad MU is back. Im really enjoying the new co-host as well. Back and better! Keep it up guys!

    iTunes rating & comment submitted today! look forward to listening to show 202 :D

  • ANlMAL

    Sweet. Much Love. Until next time. Animal is out.

  • ANlMAL

    Hey guys, just finished listening to the show, it was great. A big thanks for the entertainment.

    I just wanted to two things you mentioned on 202. Perhaps the shows were not 'perfect' but both 201 and 202 are far from 'rusty starts'. Both Aaron (sp?) and Ben are doing a great job. While Aaron is a new voice and the back and forth is different from the original MU it is still equally enjoyable, in fact I think it is an improvement.

    Entertaining review of entertaining stories and of course some good tunes.

    Also, I don't care if the show has a schedule or not. I'm just happy its back.

    Take care guys!

    keep up the great work! I love the new podcasts – and the awesome music selection as usual! I love downloading all the tracks you pick out – maybe think about doing another Volume of MU Favorites?

  • Yvette

    I’m SO glad MU is back! I thought it was gone for good. The first show back was great…can’t wait to listen to the second…and for many more to come. (I was a premium subscriber to the old show, but not one of the angry ones.) :)

  • http://skywriterstudios.net/blog Jo Skywriter

    Another Great episode! You guys rock (as always ;) )

  • http://twitter.com/AngelTheSeaGuy AngelTheSeaguy

    Nice, This Just made my day keep them coming Ben.

  • http://www.AudioMarketList.com/ Kevin Anderson

    Well done. Another good MU installment. Seems like you guys are finding your rhythm, and the production is very polished.

    I’m trying to get the word out best I can. Does anybody have some ideas for getting the buzz going?

  • ANlMAL

    “i just wanted to SAY two things”

  • http://mysteriousuniverse.org Benjamin Grundy

    I tend to agree. I was thinking of starting a petition for Apple to create another category, or at least a sub category, for shows like ours. I know the Science podcasters would sign it. It must get frustrating to see us up there at the top.

    But for now where else would we go? We aren't Religion or Spirituality, we aren't Technology, and we aren't really Lifestyle either. What category would we be under if not Science?

  • AnnetteMarie

    I agree Science is not quite the category for Mysterious Universe, but 'parascience' isn't quite accurate as MU does glean science publications and releases as well as the paranormal, fortean and such.

    There has to be another category with an apt name, but what?

    In the meantime, no matter the category, this podcast belongs on every iPod and MP3 player in the universe – imho, that is… :-)

  • carlos64

    great show!! glad to see the show up and running. hopefully ben can get some rest this time around having a co-host. just bought the box set and cant wait to see episode one. i joined last time around episode 15 .hope we get to see more videos this time too. keep up the great work gentlemen.
    thanks for bringing the show back ben!!!!

  • Tony

  • Mia

    Is MU going to be a free podcast from now on or is it going to be like the previous season where we paid a small fee for a subscription?

  • http://twitter.com/QualityAmigo Simon Taft

    They could create a 'Unusual & Enigmatic' category maybe…

  • rudeboi

    Man I'm glad you guys have come back. And the new guy…. I think we'll keep him. Also, Ben how do you go about picking the music for the show?

  • spontcumb

    I am so very glad that Mysterious Universe and you, Ben, are back! Even better with the co host. My MU withdrawal has finally come to an end! Thank You!!!!!

  • nihilicon

    Great to have you back Ben and welcome Arron. I've missed MU a lot over the past year it reaches the parts other podcasts don't. Looking forward to many more episodes of enthralling wonderment. Cheers!

    Thanks!

    Apologies to to previous commenter. It was stuck in our system. I’ve been trying to approve it all day but it wouldn’t go through. I had to delete it.

    Bah its back! Curse your comment! It is stuck there forever!

  • Manitou

    Another good ep, thanks guys.

  • http://lozlo.com jgrundy

    Nice work lads.

    I'll have to come up and meet this mysterious Aaron!

    Oh, and I love how much you were touting the benefits of gaming Ben! HA! Did you make T listen to the podcast once you were done? lol ;)

  • http://mysteriousuniverse.org Benjamin Grundy

    Its true. Well for the games I play anyway… I'm not sure if Counter Strike is making you any smarter Jonny boy.

  • http://lozlo.com jgrundy

    Just waiting for some new decent MMO's, The Old Republic and Star Trek!
    That'll definitely improve my mental capabilities…

  • dontbelieve

    One of the best produced podcasts out there. Rusty you say? pffff…
    Also, no offense Ben (:-P) , I like the new format better, the back and forth dialogue between Ben/Aaron thing works really nicely. Keep the good work.

  • dontbelieve

    …petition for the “Awesome” category…

    Disqus went down toady and now any un-registered comments made since then have simply vanished.

    I've emailed Disqus support to see whats up.

    In the meantime you'll have to be logged into Disqus, Facebook, Twitter or Open ID to comment.

    OK it looks like they updated their database today. That explains the downtime and the missing comments. Should be back to normal soon: http://twitter.com/disqus/status/3856698636

  • bluealien

    Another great episode.

    Love the UFO traffic report.. great idea.

    I have to agree that I think the dialog between Ben/Aaron is a big step forward…

    I also like that Aaron is a science nerd, brings another dimention to the universe.

    Another poster commented that he missed the forums, from the last website.

    I have to agree..the forums where really great..it was a real sense of mysterious univese bonding going on there, I really missed that when MU went away.

    Just wanted to say that I’m glad your back :)

  • http://www.facebook.com/floydration Floyd Teran

    I remember hearing a story about some guy who claimed to have found an interdimensional portal and went missing.any news on that?

  • http://twitter.com/allengould Allen Gould

    See Ben, I'm not the only one who wants a forum :-D

  • AnnetteMarie

    I missed/still miss those so much. BUT… there were parts at the end I do not want to see come back and spoil things. Tighter moderating maybe? But done by who? and what to assess for standards?

  • http://lozlo.com jgrundy

    MU could have a dedicated moderator that enforces an 'on-topic' rule.

    e.g. Personal attacks (on anyone), trolling/flaming, general abuse should be zero tolerance.
    Understandably there are a lot of varying opinions and personalities in the community and allowing for right-of-reply while still following the above rules will be a tough thing to moderate.
    I can imagine a lot of heated debates, and a moderator will need to work hard to allow as much constructive debate as possible while protecting users (and MU) from abuse.

    There were some great topics on the old forums and it would be great to have that back!

  • AnnetteMarie

    kind of like kindergarten :-)

  • http://mysteriousuniverse.org Benjamin Grundy

    Thanks for the feedback blue.

    You will know forums are coming when you see us post an ad for a community manager position.

  • dan1boy

    It's great to have you back. Really missed MU over the past year. Yours is the one paranormal- related podcast that simply entertains/informs and I enjoy listening on my way to work. Please keep up the terrific job. The co-host is terrific as well. Thanks, Benjamin!

  • Doug N.

    Hey Ben nice to hear you again! Its like you haven't missed a step since being away for what seemed like forever! Great job to both of you! Thank you so much for bringing it back!

  • http://watch-me-eat.blogspot.com/ Engineer

  • lingabel

    I'm really pleased you are back, I've missed MU !
