What's funny is the way you completely ignored it and continued the podcast, that's dedication alright. Heh heh…Anyway, a great podcast ( finally got to hear what you guys sound like!). It doesn't sound rehearsed or scripted or anything like that which is really good. It's been mentioned before, that you guys should include members in episodes, I think this is a great idea (not sure exactly how that would be done) but otherwise just keep it up!
Also what day of the week are they released?

Comic Talk and General Discussion *
Introducing the DD Quackcast
If they end up bringing anyone onto the show, it might be cool to see people from the featured comics for that week. They could call them into the show part-way through and have them talk a little about their plans with the comic or different aspects about it (like a mini interview). Personally, that's what I wouldn't mind hearing! Otherwise, Skool and ozone do a great job of covering everything, so having another co-host each time might make it too "cluttered."
The tricky part will be figuring out a time where everyone will be available to call during the recording of the show.
Yeah, to be honest I haven't thought far enough ahead to wonder who we'd want to have on. There's some good ideas in this thread and I don't want to respond too specifically to most of them and look like I'm dismissing them or promising to do them or anything. :] It's just interesting to see what you guys would like to hear. I'm sure if enough people want something we can work around practical difficulties.

oh god yeah. Been having trouble trying to organise a skype call with another artist about a project we are working on together, only four or five hours difference but between work and children it has been really awkward for us both.
I need to prepare a little more I think, you can tell when I haven't figured out exactly what I'm going to say about a feature. :[ I feel like I'm letting them down!
The next podcast is over 30 minutes long… Oz, you and I are gonna have to try to rein ourselves in! Or just be more concise. Can we meet the challenge?!
You guys had better leave suggestions for next week, or else no one gets a special mention. Nobodyyyyyyyyy
Talk about my hidden picture challenge which is happening every week!
As for other suggestions:
- Fun facts
- Fun admin stories
- Fun tutorials (I honestly never knew that section existed until recently)
- Fun foods to eat while visiting drunkduck
I'm enjoying the podcasts so far btw. Ya'll got nice voices.
Can we meet the challenge?!Nope :(
Talk about my hidden picture challenge which is happening every week!Great suggestions. We couldn't use them all in one cast so that's a bit to go on!

Thanks for the compliment too! I can see Skool as having a pretty voice and a great "radio manner", but I find myself rather irritating to listen to generally.
You should do a bit about me and my song.Maaaaaaaaybe…
One idea for it, go to browse comics and select updated today and randomly choose one comic each to talk about the latest update and maybe more if it takes your fancy.We do that all the time, just don't record it, hahaha!
I think we DID record it for the first few tests, gets a bit dull though without a structure;
"I'm looking at this and it's like this…. and… stuff"
"Oh really? Wow, that's nice. Mine is this and this and stuff, sort of like, you know? But not that."
"Yeah, ok…"
lol!
Might try it…
I listen to the podcast while I'm drawing, so my suggestion would be to make them longer, an hour or more at least. Also I'd like to hear more about the process of making web comics, art vs writing etc, in addition to expanding the reviews portion to include more comics per cast. Maybe consider adding another person to the cast? Someone who has strong contrasting viewpoints to the other two. Maybe a bad boy on the cast who won't be afraid to trash a comic if it's bad. Aside from that, great job guys, really enjoying the podcast.

This literally made me ell oh ell for some reason. That's how I feel when like, someone shows me their art and asks me what I think and it's like, sometimes I'm not sure what kind of opinion I'm supposed to have, so I just pretty much do that. XD
Anyway. I dunno, you guys have been doing pretty good on your casts. I do think it'd be nice to get some more peeps on it, maybe do your interviews on it like someone else said. I dunno, I have no further suggestions. The only time I was ever on a podcast I was just like "Hi I'm a webcomic artist! I used to do this one comic but then my partner went crazy and started stalking me and I started taking antidepressants and then I quit doing it! I like movies."
And then it gets awkward.
Good suggestions Darth!

Maybe a bad boy on the cast who won't be afraid to trash a comic if it's bad.I dunno, that'd tend to go against the DD vibe in general. And since we only talk about featured comics that we think of a great examples of comic work in the first place… Trashing them would undermine the feature concept. Although, neither of us are afraid to point out things we don't like about features or that we think need improvement, we're just pretty nice about it. :)
This may sound weird, but the podcast is kinda inspiring.That is an amazing compliment!

And now I know why you quit your earlier stuff ^_^
We're mulling over interviews. Probably limit it to community project leaders for now, because that would give them extra exposure to get people to join their things.
I thought I'd mention this here now, we do in the podcast but that doesn't come out til Tuesday and we record the next one on Thursday, so it's not much time for replies.
We are mentioning some community members who have run community projects over the year, and we covered a number of them but not all. We're sure there are some we never heard much about, or are just forgetting for some reason. So we need you guys to remind us/sugest things. :]
We did already mention: the mods, DD Awards, Voice contest, Mafia, 24 Hours, and secret santa.
We are kinda looking for ones which are truly open to just about anybody and are fairly participatory, so I don't think that the 'a couple of creators get together and make a collective comic' stuff like Crossoverlord is quite the same. Fightsplosion we'll mention though because even if someone doesn't make the initial call for fighters, there are still support activities etc. which go on.
Sooooooo let us know if you have any suggestions!

You guys really do throw in your criticism pleasantly. I love that you can do that so well, personally. Maybe instead of trashing DD comics you could trash famous comics, I dunno. X3
And now I know why you quit your earlier stuff ^_^
Hah, yeah, oops. That whole shenanigan took me down for like almost three or four freaking years. (I forget when I really officially stopped or started again)
However, I'd never been able to draw comics as fast as I am now, so I'm glad it's all over and my massive Cthulhu-sized artist block is gone.
You guys should relate some periods you had artist block on your podcast! o3o
(Just throwing random things out.)
Just listened to episode 8 ( :) shucks), and really enjoyed your conversation juxtaposing the two features. Had to laugh because I had a very similar experience to skoolmunkee's when I discovered Wood Nymph (saw it on recently updated; imagined carefully positioned leaves . . . checked it out anyway, and loved it).
As far as suggestions, I like it as it is (even when texture is said 20X - I like that it doesn't sound rehearsed). And I like many of the ideas already mentioned, but maybe as one-time bits rather than standard additions. For instance, if JustNoPoint organizes the next awards and welcomes the idea, maybe try to have him on as the awards are gearing up, so we can hear about some of the behind the scene action, and maybe see a way to participate as needed.
One standard addition I'd like is if you'd mention what day it is that you're taping (in addition to the weather). Since these are delayed, and since people might not listen to a cast right away, a time reference might be interesting, if not useful.
Anyway, thanks for this new toy. eeess berry nice.
