Dudes, it's been waaaay too long, but! At long last, due to an overwhelming amount of feedback we've received for the previous 'casts, the ZUBC team has put together our very first Zelda-focused podcast! So, may I present to you:


April, 2009

In This Podcast...

• Introduction (With your charming hosts, Margar and Link)
• Zelda News (with Nathanial Rumphol-Janc)
• Community news (with your handsome hero, Roscoe Rhodes!)
• A rousing roundtable discussion on first impressions of Spirit Tracks and letters from the community (hosted by Liah, with guests: Nathan, Cody, and Hombre de Mundo).
• A Theorist's Dream: discussion on the early implications of Spirit Tracks in the theorizing community (with Hombre de Mundo and friends).
• Rantings from mind of webmaster Cody.
• PowerShot's first musings on the DSi.
• Announcemts/Conclusion/Credits.

It's been a few weeks in the making with Margar and I cracking whips and such, but in reality, we have a wonderful and talented team for both the recording parts and behind the scenes.

We would greatly appreciate your feedback, gaiz, so, please! Don't be shy about telling us what you think. All thoughts will be appreciated so that we can incorporate into our next 'cast exactly what the Zelda Universe community wants.

With that said, my dear, dear ZUers:

Enjoy <3.

I love you guys! :'(

That was really enjoyable to listen to... you guys work really hard on it, and it really shows a lot. Easily the best Zelda Fan Podcast in the world! Definitely will be recommending this to other people!

D'awwwww....
My part was so short-lived :_:

The rest of the podcast was nice too <3

Power Shot's voice is so sexy...

Wooh! Awesome!

Now to start working on the next one.

It was pretty good. I suppose this means I have to listen to the next one D:

Where did y'all get the song that plays in the background when y'all are talking about the Zelda News. I know its a fake Twilight Princess overworld theme but it still sounds cool.

I demand to be in the next cast, if for no other reason than to serve as a foil to Connor.

I approve of the showmanship of Rosco Rhodes. Bravo sir.

Whatever Cody was doing, it wasn't ranting. It was more like mildly-peeved droning. A rant is supposed to ANGREH.

Power Shot sounded exactly as I imagined him - faux deep-voiced pandering fop. If his language weren't so incredibly decorative, I might have understood what he was getting at.

Just finished listening. I'm happy about adding more Zelda based discussions on it. Pretty good segment about ST. I thought it was pretty informative.

Liah has a really nice voice, and Margar's voice was made for the radio. Powershot had a cool voice too. I like the Zelda music in the background.

Wow, what a wonderful comment. Thank you so much, and that was your first post, too? It's really nice to read something like this after all the hard work.

I honestly don't know, I think Margar or Aniday, our editors, will be the ones to tell you.

If you're serious about this, then we can't just say "we'll put you on it" without knowing what exactly for. Let me know if you are serious (I've spoken to you on Skype and I LOVE your voice) so we can see what's available. If you aren't serious--well *sticks tongue out* xD

I approve of the showmanship of Rosco Rhodes. Bravo sir.

OH, TOTALLY, MAN. TOTALLY.

Whatever Cody was doing, it wasn't ranting. It was more like mildly-peeved droning. A rant is supposed to ANGREH.

Shall we change the name of the segment to Cody's Mildly-Peeved Droning? xDD But, honestly, the thought of an angry Cody kinda scares me oo;;;

Power Shot sounded exactly as I imagined him - faux deep-voiced pandering fop. If his language weren't so incredibly decorative, I might have understood what he was getting at.

Sexy, his voice is sexy DON'T FORGET THAT xD

Awwwww <333 Thank you, dear. I really liked the music too and you're right Margar's voice is radio--'tis why she works in that industry The woman has got it going on!

I heard Lunk was in this one. His voice is so sexy. It is said, that when he talks, flowers grow, women swoon, and the world stops revolving when he breathes...

And I heard from a reliable source that MDK, the man that when quoting the words "Hey Arin!" can send himself into planetary orbit, wants to be involved in the next episode. I approve of this choice and support it full way!

EDIT: Also, I just noticed, did no one ever wonder what the ending credits music was? Well, it's my dad's band.

This podcast got me hot and bothered. Whoever makes these do a great job, and are generally very sexy people.

It was hot cause I was in it
I promise to participate more

In all seriousness, and as much as I am kinda annoyed at how this is turning out to be a big self-congratulatory thread, we did good here. The podcast's biggest problem has always been that it feels too disjointed, and that is becoming less and less apparent. I still miss Future's segment from the earlier casts, though. That was always my favorite bit. Rosco is pretty cool too, that suave hunk.

You know, the same thing has been bothering me for a bit, the disjointed/fragmentated thingie. I'm trying to think of ways to make the flow better, you know? I think, though, we were trying to keep this podcast simple since it was our first Zelda-based 'cast. Maybe in the next one, we can play with things a bit more, though I'd love some ideas thrown me and Margar's way, kinda like that phonecall idea you came up with with a previous 'cast.

It's hard when you have so many contributors who, for the most part, record separately, do not interact, and basically do their own thing. It's the nature of the beast. Most ways I can think of to make the podcast more cohesive would involve limiting people's creative prerogative in favor of a more defined vision—which may actually improve the cast, but definitely won't go over well with the contributors.

I might or mightn't be. I'll think about it. Could be fun!

OH, TOTALLY, MAN. TOTALLY.

Why have I never heard of this man before? This man knows how it's done!

Really? The thought intrigues me, because it's something I couldn't possibly imagine.

I will grant you that one or two things he said were quite funny, though at no point did his dulcet tones moisten MY panties. My issue is that it sounded forced - he was trying too hard.

Remember, people who want to contribute to the ZUcast should talk to Awking by emailing zucast@zeldauniverse.net

For general questions send your email to dom@zeldauniverse.net

Power Shot retaliates! Because, if he is not moistening the panties of all listeners, he is not doing the job he is not paid to due by Margar and Jason.

MDK, you are correct. At the time of that recording, and currently, my life is stressed in ways that it shouldn't be. When I recorded that, I had to go to a beach cleanup that day and help the enviroment with my fraternity. I also had to deal with the fact that I don't spend enough time with my girlfriend. And I like spending time with her, due to the fact that she is awesome. I am now bummed that I probably won't be able to until next semester due to our busy studying sessions during exams this week.

Next one will have more panty-moistening action. As soon as I figure out what the hell I'm doing... Well, I'm going to Japan in a few weeks. Maybe a Power Shot in Japan special would be in order...
