Well done, typewriter monkeys. Have a banana.

All the episodes are now up on iTunes for your listening pleasure.

enjoy!

update

Episode 7 is just about ready to go up. This is a good thing seeing as I'm going to Supanova this weekend, and will be too busy having nerdalicious fun to edit.

In other news, the xml is problematic. Teams of monkeys with typewriters have been set to work in the hope that one of them will produce a document that will solve all my xml problems. And maybe global warming.

So, episodes via iTunes are still some time away.
But you can still get them through this blog!

xml

The new xml is going up now.
All 7 episodes (0-6) should be up on iTunes within the next 24 hours.

Stay tuned!

Episode 6 - Recommendations

Episode 6 - Recommendations (33:19 min - 38MB)

Elizabeth has described this show as a podcast about roleplaying and roleplaying culture. Today we take a break from talking specifically about gaming and chat about some of the culture: i.e., webcomics, movies, books, sites and music that we like to geek out to. We make recommendations (both for and against) authors, movies and comics; and, as always, get just that little bit off topic.

Here is a list of links to things we talk about in the 'cast. In no particular order.

We chat about the Last Action Heroes game he would run at Phenomenon, and find out what the terms 'Mega Roleplaying' and 'bach' mean.

We also discuss the upcoming 'Con with No Name' which Dan is organising for November in Canberra.
