Part four (of five), the penultimate introductory “Couchathon” phone call combines the most heart-pounding elements of Sunday telemarketing phone calls, with Tony’s views on his Italian heritage. (Note: Tony’s views on his Italian heritage are not necessarily those of Couchathon.com, our sponsors, employees, or assigns… capice?)
Meet the Ass-tranauts Part III: Eric
We continue with the third thrilling introductory phone call profiling our Couchathon ass-tranauts (no I’m not sick of that pun yet, thank you very much). In this one we combine the most heart-pounding elements of Sunday telemarketing phone calls, with speed-googling information about “Destiny’s Child”.
Meet the Ass-tranauts Part II: Jon
As promised, the second of five thrilling introductory phone calls which combine the most heart-pounding elements of Sunday telemarketing phone calls, and my heavy mouth-breathing into a headset microphone.
In this episode: Jon demonstrates a (disconcerting) knowledge of the psychology of the rest of the group.

UStream.tv!
So we’ve got at least two major sponsorship announcements to make before this unfortunate enterprise takes off - and the first one’s a doozy!
Ustream.tv is one of the oldest and largest streaming video portals on the Internet, and they have stepped up to support the Couchathon in a big way. They’re not only host to [...]
Check 1, Check 2, Sibelence, Sibelence
The victims organizers of the Couchathon are very pleased to announce the gracious support of Trew Audio to our ridiculous noble cause. The RocketAce team discovered Toronto’s Trew location (a treasure trove for all things production audio) sometime between Dead End Days and Cerealized, which might be one reason we don’t sound like we’re filming [...]
