Episode 59.5 - The Josh and Dave Show
60Hz is back and out-of-sequence! This is a bonusode Josh and Dave recorded today that they didn’t feel was worthy of being a whole number episode. You may be asking where episodes 57, 58, and 59 are; well, in lieu of final projects and exams, Tom has taken a vow of celibacy break from the cast for a few weeks, and so Dave has to catch up with editing our backlog of episodes. In the meantime, this episode should satiate your 60Hz appetite. Show notes:
- Jeff and Tom are too cool to join us this week.
- Final exams!

- Learning to cook.
- Josh’s new headphones: Grados!
- Josh’s friend Nathan joins us.

- School IT employees who don’t know what RAM is.
- Books that are cheaper new than used? What?
- Swine flu! You beat up children when you have it.

Once again, kudos to Nathan for joining us on such short notice. Thanks for listening!

The cast of 60Hz is back with episode 54! The audio quality is still a bit shiesty, but we’ve almost perfected our recording technique. Still not much in the way of organized content (SPOILER! - that comes around in episode 55), but we’re getting better! Show notes:

- It’s pretty easy to harass Jeff, since his Skype is linked to every communication device in his house.

Episode 2 53 of 60Hz takes a step towards actual content, though we still haven’t perfected our format yet. Bear with us! Andrew was unable to join us once again because of the ol’ ball and chain, so we kick him off of the cast and replace him with computer science superstar, Jeff! Show notes:

Apologies for the space echo and chorus unison effects that you hear on our voices; we’re still working out the kinks in our audio setup.
Episode 52 - Yo Fetus Web
Welcome to the first episode 52nd episode of 60hz, the podcast in the frequency of our time!

Enjoy, and know that content might be on the way in future episodes.
