Show on hiatus, Western world falls
Posted by eeeper in tech issues, updates on Monday, March 21, 2011
Good header, right? Well, I thought so.
Anywhos, this is a hard post for me to write. For the past four years, I’ve trundled on with the podcast despite all the things that life has thrown at me. Most podcasts don’t survive after about 8 to 9 episodes. People just run out of steam. But despite all the threat of podfade, I’ve never put the show on hiatus. Until today.
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I’m currently dealing with a situation that demands more time on my part than I currently have. I’m not going any further into an explanation as it’s a purely personal matter. I don’t want to have to deal with the given situation but I’m needed so you do what you’ve gotta do. So, for the time being, I’m suspending the show. Oni only contributes to the show, he doesn’t edit it as he doesn’t have time himself, hence the show going on hiatus. I’ll still be doing blog posts, reviews when I can and hopefully will have something for the MMF for ARIA. I’m not going THAT far away.
If anyone needs to speak to me regarding this post, you can hit me up on my email address. Thanks for the understanding bump, everyone.
Not much else to say except THIS!
Stand up and be counted – State of the Podcast and Future Missions
Posted by eeeper in conventions, updates on Monday, January 3, 2011
OK, so I’ve noticed that I’m blogging more than podcasting these days. Blame it on Oni, he’s the one dragging his heels. More than that, I’ve been so busy with college applications and Christmas temp work that I’ve hardly noticed the months flying by. But, I’m always ready to podcast. Still, I have fun when we’re doing the show together. So, this month I’ll throw something on the site.
Second up. Where does the site go from here, this year? Well, I did travel to New York Anime Festival in October and it was fun. The con, not so much but meeting all my podcast and blogging friends was awesome. I stayed with Erin and Noah and they were the most awesome hosts a guy could ask for. The only thing that I had a problem was, after I left I realised I never got them a thank you present!!!! I’m so sorry, guys! I’ve got Christmas presents for you, and they should be posted off as soon as I can find the time! Oh, yeah, the con. The anime section was a bit of a wash out but I didn’t mind I’d never been to an American con so I had no yardstick to measure it by. But, Kate, Alain, Patrick, Joe, Xan, Ed, Ed (Chavez), Erica, Erin and Noah made it really special and awesome.
With this in mind, I can tell you that I will be coming to Otakon this year and I will be bring friends with me. Not Oni as he can’t travel at that time. But awesome friends, nevertheless. If you want to meet up during the con, please email me in the run up to the con and we’ll square away details.
The site continues to grow and we always like hanging out online with more listeners, readers and friends. We’re going to try blogging more as I write for OtakuNews and I’m doing the MMF on a semi-regular basis these days. Oni tries to contribute as much as possible but his job keeps him busy. He’ll be around.
As always, I and he are always around. We’re on Twitter more these days. I’m here and he’s here. I’ll have some more stuff up this week for reviews and stuff. Laters!
Help us out!
We’ve not recorded a new episode yet as I’m looking for a bit of a hand here, folks. You see, my co-host will not go actively looking for a title to review. I’m ready to go with mine but he’s dragging his heels. So I’m asking for your help in an online vote!
So here are the ground rules:
- No hentai.
- Nothing overly moe.
- 52+ series are out
He’s got far-reaching tastes so don’t be put off by “Well, maybe he won’t like what I suggest, so I won’t vote.” So now is the time to introduce him to a great new series or one-shot! Or punish him with a terrible show. It’s up to you! Want to vote? Just head over to http://twtpoll.com/ros960 and cast your vote using your twitter account. The vote closes at the end of May but I know my listeners will help me out before then.
Quick update on site status
Hey all. No this is not an update for the show. God knows I’ve promised the sun, moon and stars before only to embarrass myself a week later.
This is just to say that if you’re leaving comments on the site from now on, you’ll notice the comments pages are powered by IntenseDebate. If you still want to leave comments in the normal way, cool. But ID users can now leave comments for me, and I can respond quicker.
That’s all.
Yep……
Oh, I’ll just say this: Next week, OK? Something, OK?
When all is said and done (Or when the dust settles)
It’s about time we had a riot.
Well probably not a riot, but time we returned to podcasting. After being away for a shameless amount of time we have gotten out act together and started recording! Yay !
Listen to more from this site soon!
Actually that’s kind of redundant….
