Crewcast Radio Broadcast 2: The First One With The Grey Poupon!


Crewcast Radio LogoThe intention to move on to a discussion about Spinward Fringe Broadcast 1: Resurrection gets foiled by a number of excellent queries about Broadcast 0 and what may have come before.
After mentioning how fortunate Randolph is to have an active Facebook Page, this episode opens with a conversation about prequel novels / trilogies and other backstory matter.
Other segments include:
- Project update on Broadcast 5′s big re-edit, and Broadcast 7: Framework.
- Ray compliments Randolph on being ‘twisted’ for the first time (in public).
- Randolph answers a question about writers having voices in their heads, and whether or not he has a similar issue.
- Lots of talk about which characters could get their OWN prequel novel.
- An attempt at having a lot of different segments on different topics fizzles as we have too much fun talking about Spinward Fringe post Broadcast 0.
- Mini-segment about the show we’re really excited about. (Spoiler alert for the Sookie Stackhouse Novels / The Southern Vampire Mysteries).
Special thanks to World Versus Me who gave us permission to use a track called ‘Evil’. He has an album coming out soon, which I’m very eager to see. Check him out!
Thank you for listening! We are doing our best to get better at this!

We continue answering questions from the Facebook page about Spinward Fringe Broadcast 0: Origins.My allergies continue to worsen as you can tell by the occasional sniffle, but we soldier on.

There are a few good questions on offer this episode ranging from "Where do you get your ideas for names?" To "Are you ever inspired by something you see on the Facebook Page?"

Ray also discusses his own childhood trauma, we review The Avengers at great length, talk about Spinward Fringe costuming (as well as the struggle of actors to fit into costume from day to day), and the hopeful future for Joss Whedon.

Ray reviews Wurm Online off the cuff, I talk about the early beginnings of the Spinward Fringe RPG, we promise and end to our look at Broadcast 0 - but that's a lie, we continue in Broadcast 2.

Other words and phrases that come up in this episode:
"Watch Mob" "Cattle prod" "Crafting" "Pull the Trigger" and "Distill"

Special thanks to Walk Off The Earth for the music in this episode! We play out to the tune, From Me To You - a fantastic Beatles cover. You can find their upcoming tour dates, music and more at www.WalkOffTheEarth.com

The next Podcast will be released on Saturday, the regular day for our weekly episodes.

Thank you for listening!
