NOTE FROM BILL WHITTLE:
Hi everybody. I did the Mike Rowe podcast last week. You can hear it using the player below.
Meanwhile, here is a sneak peek at the long-awaited animation allegory called ‘D is for Dungeon.’ I expect to have the full pitch ready by early next week.
I hope you like the preview.

Not bad for 11 hours of work, Bill. The animation looked great on a big monitor. A question which should have been posted to The Statosphere Lounge, though I only just saw the animation this morning, maybe someone astute in the field might be able to help me understand.(RSAE??)
Looks like a radio and antenna on Bill’s right hip, and what, a “tricorder’ on the left hip? And, Bill must have gotten up really early in the space port morning, for he’s the only guy visible in this HUGE spaceport with lots of stuff. Maybe before work shift started on that spaceport!
Mike Rowe and Bill Whittle….wow.
The animation still needs some polish, but overall I am very excited for this!
Arlington is a very very special place, It was also once Robert Edward Lee’shome. I wonder sometimes if the woke left will be allowed to bulldoze it since Robert Edward Lee, commanded The Army of Northern Virginia. No that will never happen because for the woke left, that would be A Bridge Too Far. As for never another Unknown, in many ways it’s a good thing that there will never be another. I can think of nothing worse for a family to have a loved one listed as missing. Like I said Arlington is a very special place. Presidents and the well-known rest with others known only to a few or none at all lie in honor by a grateful nation.
quite a treat!! thanks… and I have been to Arlington… in 1978 after finishing my Israeli army service and heading across the pond for new adventures… visiting cousins in Alexandria…
Being a student of military history, I was familiar with the Taffy 3 story, but I thoroughly enjoyed Bill’s telling it in the spirit in which the battle was fought. Cdr Evans received the Medal of Honor for his sacrifice and defiance, but when he took command of the USS Johnston, he is reported to have said (paraphrased), “I intend to go into harm’s way. Those who want to go with me are welcome. Those who would rather not may leave.” From what I understand, all the officers and sailors on the USS Johnston elected to stay.
That is leadership.
Bill, my father (also a Bill) was an electrician’s mateaboard one of the Jeep Carriers when it was first training pilots in Puget Sound and told me the most dangerous duty he had in the war (lied about his age like so many) was hanging over the corner of the flight deck in a storm in a bosun’s chair to change the bulbs on the running lights….and just before they headed towards the Pacific from Washington he and a few other crew members were given some bad Yellow Fever vaccine, had their arms blow up like balloons, and the ship sailed without them. IF not for that, he’d have been at Leyte, and that makes the point that the signing up to put your life on the line is the moment–you never know if you’ll live or die, but you are offering yourself for your country and deserve Arlington and honor no matter what. Thanks for a great show as always!
Fantastic. Great job! Really enjoyed this one!
That was brilliant. Ever since Bill was on MR episode 215, I have been binging Mike’s podcast. Went all the way back to #1 and am up to 239, but listened to this out of order. Very well done!
When you go to Nashville to see Jeremy, make sure you get John Rich’s phone number from Mike. John is a big conservative and also lives in Nashville and has lots of money to invest.
He was on Mike’s podcast around episode 230 and has a great story about building his house in Nashville and getting around the zoning commission.
Two of my favorite people!
“Five lousy stars” for a brilliant discussion. Thank you, Bill and Mike.
Thank you Bill for all you do to spread the appreciation of our liberty. Love listening to you and Mike!
Way to spring that awesome preview 9n all 9f us Bill.
WHOA! Great promo and I listened to you and Mike yesterday whilst grave hopping….. TWICE!
Seriously, Bill – the preview kinda gave me the shivers…in a good way, of course👍
As a Navy vet circa 1973 to 1979 We All Gave Some Gave Their All. Great episode thanks for sharing.
Thank You, Richard.
Can’t wait! I am also looking forward to your tutorials since it would be fun to learn how to do this stuff.
I’ve been waiting to see something like this since your Star Citizen days. Looking forward to it!
Mike Rowe is a treasure.
And according to the late Andrew Breitbart, so is Mr. Whittle…..
