Ricky, Phil, and their guest Damien continue their search for an additional guest that began in the previous episode… and at last get in touch with Tari Akpodiete, formerly with Short Fuze / Moviestorm and now running her Digipendence website. Discussion then blossomed about contracts, web-delivered series, and more. It was a delightful and fun conversation and a great way to close out our evening on Skype.
Thank you for listening! How much do we love your comments? We plan to ask them to marry us just as soon as we are ready to settle down. So bring ‘em on!

The Overcast: It’s a non-prescription smile inducer (it always makes me smile when most other things don’t)

Smiles as ever. Even the digressions off topic (and you don’t get more digressed than Ricky on Ukelele) are spot on for making the whole show worthwhile.

Ditto esp Ricky’s Cooking Corner segment, that really cracked me up

One of the more interesting aspects of machinima is the community, it’s always fun to hear the voices of the creators. And their take on what others are doing.
nice pod.
