Main Course of Episode Two

Hello, everyone!

We've decided on a Main Course for the second episode. Due to the short amount of time we have to finish it and the fact not many of the listeners will know a damn thing about us, we've decided on...'What makes you geeky?'

This feature will include short interviews with various geeky people in the North East about their understanding of the term 'geek' and what sorts of things they are geeky about. We'll also be reading out a few of the listeners' geeky moments - if you want to get involved go to the Facebook discussion and tell us what you're geeky about (alternatively, you could post it as a comment on here).

Me and Lily will also be joining in giving our own geeky credentials so that the listeners have a much better idea about us and can, thus, enjoy our little ramblings a bit more.

Oh, and thank you for listening - over 400 downloads so far!

The second episode of NEGF

Hello, all

We're feeling triumphant after finishing and uploading the pilot episode of North East Geek Feast and having 300 people download it in the first three days. We're also feeling pretty good about the complements we're received and the 62 people who have joined our Facebook group.

Well, we're not ones to rest on our laurels and so we're already planning the next edition.

STARTER - Reviews of Drew Barrymore's directorial debut Whip it!, Marvel's latest crossover X-Men: Second Coming, Doctor Who and the Great North Museum's Culture Shock exhibition.

PALETTE CLEANSER - Retail Review of April with Mike Thompson.

MAIN COURSE - We really don't know yet! Arrghhh! Any help?

DESSERT - In conversation with Chris J. Allan - talking about his 365 Films Later blog.

Hopefully finished and uploaded by May 6th...

The pilot episode has arrived!

After all this time, it's finally done...

Now CHECK IT OUT!

Cheers

Hello, everyone

Follow us on Facebook - North East Geek Feast

Cheers!

It's almost done

Yes, yes, yes - the pilot episode of North East Geek Feast is almost complete.

About a week ago I finished cutting down the 'Palate-Cleanser: Retail Review with Mike Thompson' and the 'Dessert: In conversation with Regan and Gav (Trenchfoot)'.

And in the last half-hour, we finished cutting the 'Main Course: Paper Jam Comics Collective documentary' featuring interview snippets with Andy Waugh, Brittany Coxon, Gary Bainbridge, Jack Fallows and Mike Thompson' and presented by Lily.

Now all we've go left to do is our review section and some links. Heading to my house now to sort this out. The podcast will be finished by the day's end - but all of the bumf around it may not be.

We've got to colour the logo, set-up a FB page and upload the podcast to a hosting website.

YEAH!

Daniel

First episode preview

Hello, y'all!

The very first episode of North East Geek Feast is shaping up pretty good and should be online on Thursday 1st April (fingers crossed).

Here's what you can look forward to a gigantic feast of geek...

1. Some bloody brilliant Garageband-made links and jingles

2. STARTER Reviews of Kick Ass (the film), Comic Book Heroes (magazine), Breaking into Comics the Marvel Way and Girl Comics (comics), and the 24 Hour Comic Challenge (the event).

3. PALATE CLEANSER Retail Review of March with Mike Thompson, Travelling Man Newcastle's marvellous manager.

4. MAIN COURSE Paper Jam Comics Collective documentary featuring interviews with Martin Newman, Jack Fallows, Mike Thompson, Britt Coxon, Gary Bainbridge and Andy Waugh.

5. DESSERT In conversation with the boys behind Trenchfoot; Gav McPhail and the man known as Regan.

Well, better get back to editing...

It has begun..!

Recording has begun for the pilot episode of North East Geek Feast, the new comics, TV, film, action figure, wrestling, etc, etc podcast from Daniel and Lily (et al).

From the moment we decided on the podcast’s title and gimmick, I knew exactly what I wanted from the segment links. Well, over the weekend I put Lily’s considerable vocal talents to task and recorded some great titles. Yes, it was a bit stressful due to the time of day we were recording at (late on Saturday night) but the finished recordings were exactly what I wanted - SUCCESS!

I also put together a nice little jingle for the podcast, which will go down in history (or not) as my first songwriting/arranging post-Squares.

On Tuesday night we’ll be sitting down to discuss the feature on Paper Jam Comics Collective and the featurette on Trenchfoot. We’ll hopefully get a few interviews recorded on Thursday.
