[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 286698, member: 134"] I had been designated the moderator of the group, which somehow made me think I needed to produce the content we'd be talking about. I had done 10 years with an improvisational comedy troupe, so it wasn't too dissimilar to what I was used to doing in prep and then on stage. So that's how my voice came to the forefront. Jared was always more than willing to talk and needed very little prodding to do so, whereas a couple of the guys if you didn't call their name directly, they wouldn't speak. It quickly settled into a foursome, with Jeff and Sean. Jeff can answer this best, but there's a reason we started doing "60 seconds of rage" because he stopped having nice things to say! Sean kinda sorta just moved on from digital pinball. I also started mocking him a bit with 'Lost in the Zone' behind the scenes, and then did my 'Big Shot' parody of LitZ which I think slammed the door on that for good. I know some of you really liked it, and he certainly did thorough deconstruction of how to play, ultimately though he needed his own podcast to do it on if it were to continue. Jared and I had found a rhythm that gelled together, and it happened to coincide with Sean not being that interested anymore and too busy. What's interesting about all of that is we decided then and there to start doing the podcast weekly, figuring we would only do 30-45 minute shows. Ha! We even tried having a rotating cycle of show topics that would repeat every 4 weeks. That was useful while the two of us really got in sync, but then became a burden. Now we trust the other will always be able to riff on whatever is brought up, and often times I won't even tell Jared what I have planned until right before the show starts. We've had both Jeff and Sean back on the show (right around episode 100) and that was a lot of fun. BlahCade is now modeled after certain sports radio shows I listen to, believe it or not. In other words, yes pinball is the primary topic but there's also other stuff that fill our days. Other pinball podcasts have even admitted to being jealous of our loose rules of what the show is about, and then there is of course the fact we cover digital like no other podcast out there.
