Harry Potter Mania!!!

Ok, I finished the book almost exactly 24 hours ago, and my head is still spinning from it! I listened to the MuggleCast live podcast which Selina, attended, but unfortunately didn't hear her. The reason for no podcast this week, is pretty much obvious, I think. Selina travelled to London for the release of the book, I read it in 6 hours straight, Kristen I know will be emmersed in the world too (I believe she went to a midnight opening and PotterCast) and Alex and Eel have both been AWOL, so we've got all this hype and excuses!

Before all this mania started, we did record a podcast about Harry Potter and really comparing the ships within the fandom, and the shippers themselves, as I'm sure many of you are aware, a lot of heat has been coming from the Jaters and the Skaters recently. I was late getting those files in, so I reckon Selina probably didn't get them before she left for London, thus the delay. I'm still working on the 'Greatest Hits' podcast, as it had a lot of splicing and recutting to do due to the fact I had to split it from the Jate bits.

So basically, we should be getting out a podcast sometime in the upcoming week. I'm gonna try and get in touch with Selina as soon as possible. Haven't heard from her since she went to the release, so hopefully the stress of the final book hasn't caused her to be ill or anything... nah I'm sure she's fine xD. As soon as we've been in touch or when Ifinish this podcast, we should be releasing one, so keep your eyes peeled. Also, we'll probably be doing a Harry Potter debrief podcast, because OMG what a book! xD

Cheers!

A Double Package!!!

Hey guys!

This is Aly and I'm currently editing the 16th or maybe it's the 17th podcast! It's kinda hard to tell because we have one podcast on my laptop, which has exploded*, one which I should really send the files to Selina for, and one which I am currently editing. On top of that we have our second Audio Commentary of Episode 1x07 "The Moth" and also an extra Audio Commentary for all the Buffy fans out there.

* I just found the files for this podcast, so it may be coming sooner than expected :D

This week, we recorded the podcast "Jatest Hits" in which we discuss the best Jate moments of the season, and then some of our other favourites and least favourites. Now, due to technical difficulties and files deleting themselves, we reocrded over 3 days, and thus I now have a joyous 3 and a half ours of podcast to edit. So, we've decided to make up for the lack of podcasts, we're going to release 2 separate podcasts including all of the stuff we discussed over the 3 days, as a lot of it would otherwise have been cut. Therefore, as soon as I'm done editing, you will be getting two podcasts: "Jatest Hits" and "Greatest Hits"

Cheers! (and zomg going to see Harry Potter tonight!!!)

What's to Come

Hey everyone! Props to you for checking our blog, we ARE beginning to get the hang of updating so you know where you've got us! Obviously its been a few months (like, one month, but it's gone by fast-ish! We'll make it!) since Lost and the fandom is starting to scatter slightly - a few of us FateCasters are getting geared up for Harry Potter this month *omg omg omg* and we are losing files and computers and contact like it's no one's job, but we are still getting podcasts out as you've noticed, we have no plans to stop, and we do have a plan (we'll need some dynamite, a black rock and a hatch........ ummm hehe) - we have got two recorded discussions - one on Kate in season 3 and one on the s1 soundtrack - which may or may not have been lost, sadly, then we have a commentary more coming up - we'd like to interchange these with actual shows, but bad luck has so far prevented it, so the 2nd commentary will probably be released as this week's show. Coming up is a Jack discussion (look for another Erica appearance), a Skate in s3 discussion, fun and games, more commentaries, Jacket and Skate debates, and probably some other things I can't think of right now - but if you have any other suggestions please email us them! Our plan will last us the weeks until Lost starts up again, but the more impact you have on the show, the more fresh it will hopefully be! I can't post our email address here for spam reasons, but it starts with fatecast and ends in gmail....... fill in the blanks ;) Thanks in advance, and we hope you're enjoying the podcasts we do get out! Keep the fate - it's Jate! Or something.... :)
