I tend not to talk a lot on here, even though this is allegedly my own show. Perhaps it’s to increase the impact when I do bother to speak up, or maybe there is some darker, more sinister reason buried deep within my psyche. Over the past couple years, Adam and I have proved that we can carry a show ourselves and make it entertaining. However, what gives out show that extra something special is the variety of guests we have on with us to help us ramble and reminisce. And sometimes that is the make-or-break point of each weekly installment. Sometimes the guest is straightforward, and the interview is very formal and static. Other times, we play it by ear and see how the guests react. There is one other instance that I’d like to call attention to, and that is when we have guests who themselves are just naturally interesting people, and when you ping them on what is their passion… well, we have one of our best shows of the year.

Such is the case with this past week’s show. Darryl hughes and Monique MacNaughton of The Continentals (as well as several other noteworthy endeavors, collectively), fall into that last category. Now, I first want to say that we’ve had other guests before who immediately were entertaining and engaging on this level (Lewis “Linkara” Lovhaug, Brian Clevenger, Brion Foulke, Barry Smith, DeceasedCrab and madamluna immediately come to mind here). But with Darryl and Monique, we really hit it off quite well and it made for a very entertaining 85 minutes of show (and a couple hours of post show after that was sadly, and safely not recorded lol). I wish all of our interviews could be this freewheeling and fun and HONEST. No holds were barred here, hell, some people might even get angry. But c’est la vie. It was a good show, and well worth it. Thanks guys. You’re the kind that make doing this worth it week after week.

Also, to anyone we indirectly insulted, I’d like to issue a blanket apology for that here. If we deliberately insulted you, though, it was most likely on purpose. We know you’d never deign to be on our show anyway.

Greetings and salutations returning readers; it has been awhile since I last posted for various reasons due to various backstage reasons, new guests to book, upcoming guests to get orientated, big shows that needed preparations, busy, busy, busy. At any rate today I am going to talk about one of the new challenges that we face, the switching of formats of solid footing. For a season and a half this was a program primarily about webcomics. Sure, there were some exceptions here and there, but even guests like Lewis Luvhaug and David Malki have connections to webcomics. The changeover kinda started last week with CB Ash, but that was before events changed with Brian Clevinger. This week there is no second guest, this week there will be no familiar discussions about webcomics, or even cousin fields in which to make some comparisons

For the next two weeks, we are going to be talking video games with a specific bent and this will be far from the last time we take ventures off the webcomic trail for that is what we do, we do more then webcomics, we do entertainment, though I am unsure if we do harder, more educational topics yet. Be that as it may, it is going to be interesting to see how all of us will adapt to this changing landscape and I for one look forward to the mixing of fields. Keep abrest of the space fore next time I will disseminate how well we are handling the curve-balls, or at least attempt to. Also, before I go I do have a non-article related announcement to make as Moonhawk Studios Presents is pleased to welcome J.L. Haramof Picatrix to the regular guest panel crew, good to have you aboard J.L.
