Across The Airwaves hosted by Dan Schmidt and Nico Reifsteck is a podcast dedicated to giving weekly TV show episode reviews along with news and opinions on the Television Industry. The TV shows we focus on are Chuck, The Big Bang Theory, Castle, V, Human Target, Bones, Fringe, Supernatural, Smallville, Leverage, White Collar and more to come in the Fall. While current shows are on hiatus our discussions may also involve blockbuster summer movies and past TV Shows.
We at Across The Airwaves have reached our first milestone by Nico and Dan (along with some help from Joel) successfully producing ten podcast episodes. Yep, you have read that correctly, we've reached double digits and all we can say to that is YAY! This week for our tenth episode, Nico and Dan discuss the new episodes of Leverage and White Collar airing on their respective networks. Highlights from the episode include Dan comparing/contrasting Leverage and White Collar in a heavyweight showdown, predictions about future episodes and Nico trying to figure out the physics of a Love Triangle. Also if you're paranoid like Mozzie don't worry there were no Suits listening in on the recording of this podcast but we may have pulled some cons, so check out this episode before we're forced to provide Leverage.
We know we told you that we're supposed to talk Leverage and White Collar in this episode, but unfortunately we had a change in plans. This change came from Nico recently moving to the Virgin Island to get some schooling for his Government job, which is great for him. However, the Islands are being hit by Hurricanes putting Nico out of contact to do the podcast. This is a total bummer for Dan because he has had to miss out on our weekly movie TV discussions, plus on top of that we have had a tremendous raise in podcast subscribers which we thank you for. With that being said to maintain our numbers it is our responsibility to continuously providing content to keep all of you interested and excited about the show. So we decided to bring in Joel "The Jet" Rodriguez (from the Avatar Two-Parter) to do a mini episode to hold everyone over until Nico is available to do the promised White Collar/Leverage episode. But for this week, Joel and Dan have decided they're going to confront the disappointment of M. Night Shyamalans The Last Airbender head on by talking about the problems this movie had and how it couldve been more like the outstanding Nickelodeon Animated Series it was based on.
If any of you watched the cable station G4s coverage of Comic-Con or tried to follow the event on the Internet you were most likely hit with an avalanche of news about the Entertainment Industry. This is where we at Across The Airwaves felt it was our responsibility to help you brave the storm. So we put our heads together and came up with this week's episode dedicated towards Comic-Con 2010. The episode includes us reporting on the news headlines that came out of the event and discussing the TV celebrity panels where the people behind our favorite shows revealed information about their new seasons premiering in the Fall.
This week's episode was recorded on location at Camp Horizon, a camp for people with disabilities. Highlights from the episode include an in-depth look at Camp Horizon starring 19 year Veteran Counselor, Dan Persak. We then follow this up by having various Campers and Counselors join us on a conversation all about the world of Television covering topics from Sesame Street to Homer Simpson to Sept. 11. Yes, things get a little serious in this episode as we pay tribute to the moments in America's history that were broadcast on Television. However for those of you looking for something more upbeat, don't worry the seriousness only lasts for one segment, everything else is fun. So put down that duckie and listen to this podcast episode because I think it will leave you pleasantly surprised.
This week's episode is dedicated to Dan and Nico discussing the first four episodes of Leverage Season 3. Highlights from the episode is a new segment which will be apart of our Leverage discussions called Let's Stump Nico and an interesting theory on how this new season of Leverage may be very similar to the movie The Usual Suspects.
Here's Across The Airwaves Episode 6 Book Two: Waves or in other words Part 2 of our podcast dedicated towards Avatar The Last Airbender and lifting the spirits of its fans due to the disappointment surrounding M. Night Shyamalan's new film based on the popular Nickelodeon Animated Series.
In response to the disappointment of M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender, Dan and Nico along with their guest Animation Expert Joel Rodriguez have decided to dedicate this episode completely towards Avatar The Last Airbender to lift the spirits of the show's fans. In fact, this episode has so much great stuff for Avatar The Last Airbender fans to sink their teeth into like character bios and our opinions on key story arcs we had to break it into two parts or in this case books.
On Episode 5 of Across The Airwaves, Dan and Nico discuss two of this summer's hit movies Toy Story 3 and The A-Team. Highlights from the episode include the lovable characters from Toy Story joining the discussion about their new film and Nico giving an interesting theory on how movies are becoming episodic like TV Shows.
This week Nico and Dan discuss Bones and Supernatural the shows they are getting caught up on through DVD. They also introduce their new Blog Writer, Lev Lawrence. A highlight from the episode is a discussion on Supernatural enhanced by Classic Rock sounds from the show, that's almost as fun as crusin' around with Sam and Dean in the Impala.

These shows include The Event, Lonestar, Chase, Hawaii Five-O, No Ordinary Family, Undercovers, Law Order: Los Angeles, Outsourced, $#*! My Dad Says, Nikita and Love Bites.
