The dish is on a two week vacation due to my work schedule conflicting with our recording time.

Right after the extro music we have another segment. It's a bit of raw audio footage regarding Ted Rall.

Tue, 12 February 2008 Picutre it. Sam, Reed and Shayne have just finished well over an hour
of podcasting. They take the time to congratulate each other on a job
well done. Moments before the save button is it, the program crashes. The entire podcast is lost to the digital nether. Suffice it to say we decided to simply postpone this weeks podcast until next week. Sorry to disappoint, but next week we should have a backup system in place in order to prevent such disasters. Until then! Take care! Category: podcasts -- posted at: 1:24 AM Comments[0] | ||

Find your Soul Geek http://www.soulgeek.com Dino Andrade, who does the voice for Skull on the PvP animated shorts has started a geek-only dating site. looks less like a dating site and more like a convention site. male seeking female replaced with fan-guy seeking fan-girl The site is free to join which allows you access to most of the site. You can recieve messages and respond to those messages which is really the most important part of a dating service. But i think you need to be a paid member to send out the initial message. The site faq is unclear about this. Paid memberships run from $9.95 to $14.95 and gives you access to create and blog and fan fic, space to add plenty of pictures, and 7 live chat rooms. Again, the FAQ doesn't say what the difference between the prices are. There's a 'dealer room' which currently has 1 tee for sale, promoting the site. Currently, their search engine only works with US postal codes so us out of country-ers are out of luck when it comes to using one of their search engines. Fortunately we're still able to navigate the site and connect with others in the same city. What are you afraid of? A new community project has popped up on Drunk duck right in time for Hallowe'en. It's called "Clowns, Spiders and Ghosts...What are you afraid of? This url is too large to show on the front page. Created by TheMidge28, the idea behind this is to have different artists post comics about their fears, be it their own or someone elses. Midge posts new comics every second or third day. Midge admits coming up with the idea one night while drifting to sleep. The only guidelines to follow are the page size should be roughly the size of a standard legal sized letter and should have the phrase "I am afraid of..." along with the name of your fear. Drunk Duck Awards Drunk Duck awards are as follows(not sure if we want to go through them all or just offer the URL, but here's me helping with the work =D) Best Action: Hero By Night (http://www.drunkduck.com/Hero_By_Night) Best Sci-fi: Galactic Hub Serreven (http://www.drunkduck.com/Galactic_Hub_Serreven) Best Real Life: Tera Forming (http://www.drunkduck.com/Tera_Forming) Best Horror: Charby the Vampirate (http://www.drunkduck.com/Carby_the_Vampirate) Best Fantasy: Purgatory Tower (http://www.drunkduck.com/Purgatory_Tower) Best Humour: Life and Death (http://www.drunkduck.com/Life_and_Death) Best Noir(this is a category??

Tue, 4 September 2007 Episode number five, where Shayne and I discuss some news, some games, and interview Black Kitty from Drunk Duck. The random comic is Atland. Comments[2] | ||
Tue, 28 August 2007 Episode number 4 of the Dish is a little long, but well worth it. Today we have with us Marc Gunn and Andrew McKee of the Brobdingnagian Bards. It was a very fun conversation that I've been wanting to have for a long time. Unfortunately, Shayne was unable to join me today, so the news is just me talking, and I didn't have access to the music that he usually edits in, so there is no intro or exit music (will add later). Finally, I also discuss the webcomic Tastes Like Chicken, which all of you should go and check out. Comments[1] | ||
Wed, 22 August 2007 In episode 3 of The Dish we talk about Smackjeeves, a free webcomic
hosting service, and we get to interview Dan, the creator of the site,
as well. Our random comic this week is Return Zero, and next week it will be Tastes Like Chicken, so if you want your opinion aired, make sure to go to the forum and tell us. Finally, JT from the Gigcast has created a webcomic podcast site, which both lists the webcomic podcasts and shows you all of the latest posts from them. Cool beans! Comments[1] | ||
Tue, 14 August 2007 Episode #2 of the Dish. Today we have Reed Hawker (Hawk) and Mary (Modesty) of the MAX. The Multi-Artist Exchange is a system that has two rounds a month in which participants have their names put in a virtual hat, mixed up, and handed out. Everyone draws for someone else, everyone gets art, it's all around a great thing to participate in. We start our Random Comic segment with Been Better. In comic news, Looking for Group has a short animated music video where Richard, the undead warlock, sings a parody of "Part of your world" from the Little Mermaid. They have announced that they are having a full-length feature film made about the comic by Blind Ferret, the same company behind the PvP animated shorts. Comments[2] | ||
Thu, 9 August 2007 Finally, the very first Comic Dish podcast. In this episode, we tell you a little bit about what you can expect with the Dish, and we manage to snag JT and Scott (not Tim... sorry Scott!) from The Gigcast to come in and chat with us. It was a terribly fun episode to tape, and I think you'll love it. You won't love some of the technical issues with it (some echo, some not-so-clear talking), but hey... it's our first. So give it a listen, and when you're done check out Comic Dish. While you're at it, check out The Gigcast as well! Comments[1] | ||
