The Podcast Asylum

Meetup envy is a condition that afflicts podcast listeners who hear about geek dinners and other social events for podcasters but are unable to attend them. The more their favourite podcasters travel to other cities and hook up with fans for dinner, drinks, or coffee, the worse their sense of frustration and isolation becomes.

Left untreated, sufferers of Meetup Envy may be driven to such desperate acts as hocking the family silver to purchase an airline ticket or even–in extreme cases–devoting hours to creating virtual meetups. While they may start out as humorous mashups, these substitutes for real contact can escalate into violent fantasies.

For a suitable fee, the Podcast Asylum will be happy to unite sufferers of Meetup Envy with their favourite podcasters amid the vineyards of the glorious Adelaide Hills–under careful supervision from our staff, of course.
