Here we go!

I finally get a chance to talk Serenity and Firefly… but it’s part of Archon 30.

Be warned, this one is spoilerific.

I was on the panel with some great people one of whom you can see here. Another was Sara Harvey, the female voice you here throughout the podcast.ï¿½ Sara is an author whose first novel is being sold nationally through CVS Stores. I spent a good part of the weekend chatting with Sara and her boyfriend, Matt (When do we get that podcast, Matt?). You can check out Sara’s work at her website. www.saramharvey.com

I was also on a five podcasting panels throughout the weekend.ï¿½ You can hear all about that on the show and you can listen to those panels at archonstl.libsyn.com.

And while I’m talking about those podcasting panels, do yourselves a favor and check out Fear the Boot (tabletop gaming) and Bad Buddhist Radio (Buddhist philosophy with a twist) podcast. These are the guys that I spent FIVE HOURS on panels with talking about podcast. We are talking about doing some joint endeavors soon as well.

I made a few contacts that should result in some special interviews and special guests to the show, but we’ll save those for later.

Don’t forget you can get ahold of us in all of the regular ways…

Archon 30

No Comments on Archon 30

Hey all,

There will be a delay in podcasting this week. I am attending Archon this weekend and will be recording panels and interviews from the Con. As I am able to get them into a reasonable sound format, I will attempt to get them out to you guys.

If all goes well, I’ll have a Serenity panel and a Star Wars panel to post on the feed.

If all goes not so well, then you’ll be listening to a quick cast from the car on the way home from the con one evening (and by evening I mean whenever I stumble out of there).

If anyone is going to be at Archon this weekend, I’ll be on the following panels:

Meet the Pod People (Friday 4 PM)
When your Collection Takes over (Friday 9PM)
Marketing your Podcast (Saturday 1 PM)
The Obligatory Star Wars Panel (Sunday 3 PM)

I’ll be all around for most of the weekend. I’ll be wearing a Scrolling Blue LED name tag and/or a Bright Green Superman baseball cap. And of course, will otherwise be one of the most normally dressed people there… unless I break out the kilt.

If you see me, come up and say hello!

This one is very different from our regular episodes.

If this is your first time listening to the show, check out a different episode… this one is personal and very meaningful.

We will return to “normal” (or as normal we get around here) next week.

Thanks for listening!

Crazy busy-ness here at the Smackdown Studios.

I attempted to record an episode last night but between faulty equipment (setup) and faulty voice (too much screaming at the Queensryche concert). What I recorded wasn’t worth listening to.

I’ll get a show up before tomorrow morning.

Have a great Friday!

3 Comments on FBSD Episode 14: Those Crazy Celebs

This week it’s all about the wild, wacky stuff that celebrities do in their private lives. Whether it’s drug frenzies, drunken rants, flipping your car, showing up late to the set after a night of partying, dumping your husband or wife for you new co-host or jumpin’ on Oprah’s couch… we look at all of the things that Actors do to make themselves stand out even more.

We discuss how the things that the actors do off screen affects our movie-going habits. We also mention www.gofugyourself.com, one of Julie’s many go-to sites for celebrity gossip.

We wrap the show with a Voice Mail from Ed from Texas where he credits Julie with pointing him toward what he’s a sucker for.

Don’t forget, we’ve got our new message board over at www.powerupgamers.com.

We just added a Frapper Map at www.frappr.com/fanboysmackdownfriends

Episode 13 and so far nothing unlucky going on with this one.

This week we have a special guest host joining the show. One of the Tonys is tied up with work and couldn’t get a few free minutes to record, so my lovely wife Julie stepped up to the mic and gave this little show a bit of a womanly touch… lord knows we could use it.

We use this episode to discuss the voicemail that Dani sent us last week. We also have some answers to the question that were provided by Chris from Two Girls and a Podcast, Jeremy and Darren.

We also have word on how to sign up for the Fanboy Smackdown forums over at www.powerupgamers.com. Sign up there and join in on one of the multitude of conversations that are active throughout the ‘PUG’ forum.

Also, you can join in on the conversations that have started to get sprinked through out the comments section at the website.
