Fixated?

So, since I last wrote anything here I seem to have started an empire. In addition to recording the podcast with Howard, I seem to be doing another. So I'm now the brainchild behind 'Culturally Fixated'. This is a podcast about TV, movies, comics, music, pretty much anything pop culture based. I'm joined by a new host, DrNeevil who wishes to be known as DrNeevil (not her real name.) We have recorded 6 shows so far, picked up a decent, if small and loyal listenership and the show is a work in progress.
DrNeevil and I didn't know each other before the show, although we do have a mutual aquaintance, or good friend in DrNeevil's case. We were put in touch with each other by the wonderful world that is Twitter. We realised we had a lot of TV shows in common. The rest is pretty much history...

So far we have talked about our favourite American shows, the new season pilots, lots of Psych and whatever else crossed our minds. After a couple of shows we decided to focus the show slightly, in order to make it more accessible to those who don't download US TV. So far we have done two episodes based on children's TV shows from our youth, and one based on UK television shows. There seems to be an awful lot more mileage to be had in both of these subjects, but we will adapt along with what our audience wants to hear.

The Fixated empire has also taken a new twist, given that Howard is being a new dad, I have recorded with two new co-hosts on Aurally Fixated. First up was a listener, which I appreciate was a little odd, but Marc Foster (@dudefozz) came in at the last minute to stand in for Howard, for which we are incredibly grateful. I actually had a really good time recording with him, which could have gone badly wrong. We seemed to click pretty well, and the show was fun. Then I needed a stand in again, so this time DrNeevil stepped up. It was odd recording Aurally Fixated with her, given that the show is usually pretty blokey, and we talk about boobs and such like. I enjoyed that as well, different vibe to it, and I was really conscious that we didn't go off and talk about TV shows, much the same as I was careful not to stray too far into movies with Marc.

It seems we have chemistry all over the Fixated universe.
So, if you don't mind too much, why don't you go listen to our shows? You can get Aurally Fixated from itunes or aurallyfixated.podbean.com and Culturally Fixated from itunes or culturallyfixated.podbean.com.
In the meantime, why not follow any of us on twitter? @stevecult, @aurallyfixated, @CultNeeve, @dudefozz (www.towatchpile.co.uk)

Promised Land...?

Been a long week...
First I was ill, then we got a new area manager, then he got ill, then he came and spent an entire morning kicking me in the balls. I've had better weeks.
On the plus side, we recorded Episode 3 of the podcast! If you haven't yet listened to it, please do go to itunes and download it, Aurally Fixated. Really enjoyed the reording this week, we increased the length of it substantially this week. Up to nearly 45 minutes. Hopefully people will enjoy it again, been getting positive feedback from people so that is good. Howard wanted to record one of his sketches to give away as a little bonus to our dear listeners, and also to have for his online comedy/acting CV. I quite enjoyed recording it, but then the character was not a million miles away from me.
We are planning world domination with the podcast, maybe pitching to a radio station or two. Howard came up with the idea of maybe doing the recording live, with an audience of paying guests, which I like, although I'd like to build up a little more following first. I think a video version of the show would be good, then the listeners could see my ridiculous hand gestures!
I have hit the promo trail hard again, we now have a facebook group, profile, twitter, website, email address. All go for us! Oh, and I have ordered us our first piece of merchandise...some badges.
