Especially Star Wars
Seriously, that’s a “remix” in the sense of being outright pastiche.
Everything’s stolen nowadays. Why, the fax…
Got-tang! The Simpsons did it first.
Someone have a feed for this? If it’s a podcast, I think there’s a feed for this, so I can put this on my podcatcher
If there’s no RSS (or Atom) feed, it’s not a podcast. Cory knows this; it’s just that he chooses to ignore everything he knows when it comes to Boing Boing.
So I’m going to go from Boing Boing to SoundCloud to sign up for an iTunes account, after I’ve done this prestige online course on How to Become an Expert in Signing Up for iTunes, and bought this great new can’t-live-without gadget that takes the grudge work out of signing up for iTunes. The inspiring comic book series (available, using the Boing Boing discount code, under the CC-NO-DON’T-EVEN-THINK-ABOUT-COPYING-THIS license) about how a plucky gang of teen LGBT zombies overcame small-town bigotry to sign up for iTunes and feast on brains isn’t strictly necessary, but puts the preceding chain of my compromises in wittily subversive context that helps me forget that all I wanted to do was listen to a podcast.
In the article, the text
links to

and on THAT page there is a link to
and from other examples of SoundCloud feeds that work, we might suspect
http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/864134809/tracks
would work as a podcast feed, but it does not.
Instead, we have to poke around in the HTML code.
At Stream Copy This Podcast music | Listen to songs, albums, playlists for free on SoundCloud we discover weird strings like
<meta property="twitter:app:url:googleplay" content="soundcloud://users:267011695">
and
<link rel="alternate" href="android-app://com.soundcloud.android/soundcloud/users:267011695">
and we say HEY THAT IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT USER NUMBER and we try
http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/267011695/tracks
and that works. That is the correct podcast feed.
