As we explain in this brand new half-an-episode-and-yet-still-the-length-of-a-full-episode, the main reasons this has taken so long to come out are 1) Eryn’s work schedule has been bad in terms of compatibility with Iggy’s schedule lately, and 2) Iggy was sick for a while and her voice was in no condition to be heard on the internet. But fear not, for Eryn is in the market for a new job and Iggy is no longer sick, so (hopefully), that means more episodes are on the horizon in the very near future!

The recording for episode 4 went on so long that we had to split it into two parts. The first you can listen to now, and the second will be up in a day or two so that your readers/podcatchers have time to download this part first.

In this half of the episode, it’s all news, news, news, some of which is relatively old. Give us a break: we haven’t podcasted in about two months. :P

UBER NEWS
- Toonami is Dead
- Stargate: Atlantis Cancelled

It was first delayed due to RL scheduling conflicts, and then again due to poor planning on my (Eryn’s) part. Here’s hoping for recording this week. *crosses fingers*

EDIT: Nope, guess not. Sorry, guys. Iggy’s got a cold. We’ll have to wait at least another week. Be sure to wish her a speedy recovery in the forum! <3

This was entirely my bad. I procrastinated for no good reason. I guess I was tired from work for a while, but that can’t excuse me for two weeks. Also, Iggy tried to help, but was unable due to technical issues on my end. So, don’t blame her for this. I promise that the next episode will be edited much more swiftly.

Anyway, we attempt to switch up the format of the podcast today to see if it works better than our first format! What do you think? Is this better? Should we change it back? Do you have any ideas for a better format? Let us know in our forum at http://robomiko.com/forum.

For our review today…

This episode has a lot more to do with us being a little bit tired (and thus slightly off our rockers) than anything else.

In today’s Mixed Bag of Segments, we have…
Eryn’s Segment - Geek News: Funimation is Awesome
Iggy’s Segment - Miniview/Shameless Plug: Doctor Who and Torchwood

And for our reviews, we have…

Iggy’s Review - Movie: Hellboy II: The Golden Army
Eryn’s Review - Comic: Mouse Guard: Fall 1152

Our Music of the Moment today was “Håll Om Mig” by Nanne Gronvall (the Princess Tutu AMV featuring this song can be found here, but beware of major spoilers!), and “Crossroads” by Cream. Our other miscellaneous plugs were for the websites Passive-Aggressive Notes and Jeff Russell’s Starship Dimensions. And I suppose we kind of plugged the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo all the way through the show. How ’bout that? Aheheheheh…
