Ah! I'd love to help you, but unfortunately, I've lost my bluetooth headpiece and when I updated to Vista, my drivers refuse to work with bluetooth now. D:

But I can't wait to hear this podcast. Good luck!

[Ayumi]

Hey everyone! Just thought you guys might like to know that the first episode is up Click here to start listening!

[Haruki]

I hope all of you give us a listen! Ayumi worked particularly hard to get this edited and such so soon! Kudos to her! Hehe.

Please give us feedback, too, it helps us perfect it!

[The Blue Chibi]

;D That was fun. My favorite part was the Mako tribute. Wow, you did that well. No fair making me cry...


Okay, so I know you said this on your site:

"We were so nervous this first episode, because we weren’t exactly sure what we wanted to do or how we wanted to do it. We have a format, and from this it will be edited and perfected. We will be more prepared for discussion topics, and play devil’s advocate more."

but I still think it was pretty good, particularly to help catch newer devotees up to speed. I especially liked Ayumi's music cuts, the personal touch to the conversation, and the inter-website solidarity. That was good, as was the news section, which was well-written (though a little fast?). There was also some good insight, most notably in the Maiko discussion, when Haruki was considering Mai's possible reactions to Azula. Finally, for the Quote of the Week: wow, the Gaang sounded so young! o.O The VAs have really grown up since then; I guess I hadn't realized how different they sounded from Season 1.

For a possible discussion topic later on, I'd love to see how you two might handle the topic of Azula's redemption. How would such a thing happen, if it were to? And why or why not? I don't know that it would happen in the series, but it's an interesting topic for speculation.

Thanks again, and looking forward to see how this podcast develops!

[Ayumi]

Thank you very much The Blue Chibi! I'm just happy this turned out as well as it did... considering I finished editing at 5 am x.x haha I was really afraid of what the finished podcast would sound like.

I started crying at the end of the Mako tribute too! After I listened to the Little Soldier Boy song... that was when I started tearing up

And that is an interesting topic for speculation! Thanks for throwing that out there we'll definitely consider it and I'm glad to know that you'll be listening!

[Haruki]

Wow, what a great review The Blue Chibi! I did say the news a little fast. .(and edited out my breaths. .bwahah) it was a random desire, I'll take it much slower next time. Now to find Avatar news. . .haha.

Thanks again! Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

[The Blue Chibi]

No problem ~ I only noticed about the news because I had to stop what I was doing and focus on listening, or I wouldn't have caught it all. It was very comprehensive, though ~ you had a lot of material to cover. I'm really glad you guys are doing this, and I'll tune in next Sunday, too.

[Ayumi]

Just to give everyone an update - the next episode of Spiritcast will sadly not be up this Sunday... though hopefully we will have it posted on Monday. For the funny (in an ironic sort of way) story behind this click here to visit the site (I didn't put it up here because it's kinda long haha)

[The Blue Chibi]

No update? Hope you guys are doing well!

It's tough to put out regular updates, especially if too much of the work is stacked on one person. That's why I make my crew make the podcasts and I just do the web updates.
