GalaxyBillies – Episode 5

   Posted by: Michell    in Galaxybillies

Before you ask, no, I didn’t purposely make you wait extra long for this episode because of all the cliffhangers in the last one. Honest. To do so would make me an overly evil bastard and, as my grandmother might have told you, I am nothing, if not angelic and considerate of everyone’s feelings.

Now don’t you feel better knowing that? :)

In this episode we finally find out what has become of Jim Bob and we learn a bit more about Bobby John. We also have a new character show up to make things interesting.

A couple things

As many of you know, the auction for “The Boom Effect” took place on February 27, 2010 to raise money for a trust fund for Tee Morris’ daughter, Sonic Boom. The auction was a HUGE success taking in over $8,000 and I’m very pleased that “GalaxyBillies” was part of that. Our winning bidder for the character spot should show up in the next episode; I’ve got an idea that I think will really be awesome that I’m working on right now. I’m not going to reveal who the winning bidder is (yet), but I think he’ll be great.

This does pose a minor problem, however. It may mean a 3-week delay before the next episode of “GalaxyBillies”. I beg your patience while I put this together.

I also posed the question: “Do you, my listeners, want to be called anything?” For example, Christiana Ellis had “Casey’s Cadets” for “Space Casey”. If you have ideas/suggestions, send them my way. I know it’s been done many, MANY times before, but I think it could be fun.

Finally, I need your help. I need comments and feedback, as always (iTunes, the website, email, voicemail), and I also need you to spread the word. I’ve seen a few of you bring up the podcast on Twitter which I REALLY appreciate. Thank you and keep it up.

Hello Everyone.

Well, we’re halfway through the year; I hope you are all doing well. Things are going well here and I’m increasingly hopeful that I will have an announcement in the near future. I do know that I have holidays coming up and I’m really looking forward to that.

I’m very excited to have Phil Rossi as my guest on this episode. I had some minor audio problems (Phil kept losing volume) but I have managed to get it audible. Phil had a lot of interesting things to say and I must say, this was a very cool interview.

Enjoy.

Hello everyone. I hope you are actually getting spring (or fall) weather wherever you are. I’m not sure what the weather is here. It should be spring, but the snow still insists on falling (damn snow!).

This is an interview I have been looking forward to. I absolutely loved Pip’s book ‘Digital Magic’ and I’ve wanted to talk to her for quite a while. It is a fun interview which I really think comes through.

Enjoy.
