I'm taking my hat out of the ring and sticking to my current work schedule.

Good luck to all other contestants. ;)^

Well, this Costarrican might give it a shot

Timezone should not be a big deal.

Her and Christian Bale were actually the front runners based on audition tapes but then we got this letter from people called "agents" trying to negotiate money, and payment in the form of Magical Seibertron Dollars™ wasn't agreeable.

Maybe for one of the podcasts, everyone can be assigned an accent to (badly) perform.

I don't see why you don't have a rolling carousel of guest presenters to supplement the regular staff. You could get international members (and I suppose MORE Americans with their bastardised language) to record special 'one off' shows with you which navigates the problem of work schedules and lack of sleep. If you co-ordinate properly then it shouldn't be that much of an issue as a fun one off.

Call it bastardized all you want because, well, it's true; but we call it "Americanese". It's a proud cultural landmark, much like "Spanglish".

We do this already when the opportunity arises (several episodes have just recently). Additionally, we have some cool themed one-off shows in the pipe, just haven't gotten around to recording them

Ok folks, you've got about 26.5 hours if you want to send clips in! Don't delay, late submissions will unfortunately not be considered.

News Credits: 639 · by **ScottyP** » Sun Nov 09, 2014 5:13 pm

And entries are closed! Thanks to all that sent in submissions.

Over the next couple of days the cast will be listening to your clips and taking a vote on the couple of prospective talkers that we want to hear more from.

If you submitted a clip, please watch your PM inbox. Within the next 72 hours you'll either receive a notice that we aren't going to move forward in having you on the show, or you'll get an invite to come on to episode 105, 106, or potentially 107. 105 records this week, so be ready!

News Credits: 639 · by **ScottyP** » Mon Nov 10, 2014 12:21 pm

Thanks to everyone that submitted. The crew is going to listen to all the submissions over the next day or two and get our votes together.

I just listened myself and holy crap y'all, you're gonna make just picking one person very tough if these clips are any indication!

News Credits: 639 · by **ScottyP** » Fri Nov 14, 2014 12:07 pm

We've notified some of the participants in regards to who'll be moving on. Others will not have received a message yet. The voting is tight around the "cut line", so we're taking some additional time to make sure we get it right. If you haven't received a message yet, thanks for your patience!

News Credits: 639 · by **ScottyP** » Thu Feb 19, 2015 9:32 am

My eternal thanks to everyone that participated. This was a blast.

My eternal apologies to those involved that it's taken so long! Results will be announced very, very soon. If you auditioned, be on the lookout for PMs with either good, bad, or in-between news in the next 48-72 hours.

I know I've said it before, but I had a ton of fun. Many thanks for orchestrating the crewditions, Scotty!

Did I win?

You already won twice! But remember, the hold up was we need three copies of you, and the technology just isn't there yet

On a serious note, the winner, losers (I mean this in the nicest way possible because everyone was awesome but this was a contest and someone had to lose), and in between have been contacted and we'll reveal the winner on the next episode. Or is it winners?

Look for that episode in 7-10 days, we kind of have to record it first sometime this week.
