Listen up you soft-bodied legless larva of certain flies. The Babnation creation needs a committed cast of characters to join up so that when your powers combine we'll have a decent on schedule podcast.

I had a sit down chat with Babs earlier today, and after a little gun waving and sword parading he agreed to make some changes.

No longer will there be a set topic with which you might not be familiar with. Instead everyone brings their own, and shall talk with each other for the sake of talking. Tangents and slice of life stories are key. That's where the committed bit comes in. The more you folks get used to talking with each other week in and week out, things become easier and more fun (and in turn more entertaining). People will eventually tune in just to hear you talk. How's that for an ego stroke?

There was a falling out with Xannikins and Magus went AWOL. So each week Babs begs and pleads with his twitter folk to join in for a show. There's nothing more pitiful than seeing a grown penguin beg. They try to go on their knees, and then that becomes a belly flop and next thing you know they're being chased by a hungry sea lion. And you'd be surprised how many sea lions are on twitter.

When the show was first announced EVERYONE said they wanted to be on the show, and yet few ever made it on, or if they did it was a one time thing. What we're looking for are 2-3 folks to become part of the permanent cast. You'll all have equal say on what will be discussed and how you want the show to be handled.

So, any takers? You'll have to give up at least one hour out of 168 each week. Really think about whether or not you can do that.

The poor penguin also edits the two shows himself each week.

I'm interested, now that I have internet at home again. Depends on the time though, I'm not going to stay up late or wake up early for it.

I'm down for this.
I'm still working on finding a mic.
I may just steal Dylan's rock band mic from time to time. I'm sure I can pull it off.

When BreakABone starts showing leadership and communicating with people, I can probably be persuaded to come back. Having his friend write threads on the forums for him isn't exactly what I had in mind, though...
