My friend has been putting a transformers blog/pogcast together for the past few weeks and finally set up his website. If you have a few minutes check out his first episode.

Episode 2 is now on his website.

Do you guys have any comments or suggestions for him?

A pleasant surprise! He definitely has an appropriate voice and tone for something like this. It's nice to hear well thought out reviews that aren't ruined by out-of-breath, dehydrated people fumbling around with their toys while trying to wing it. Also, it's very nice to hear a distinct absence of "um"s, "er"s, and "like"s. I shall look forward to future editions.

At the end of the second one, right after the Mario song, it slows down and he sounds hilarious. Don't know if that was intentional or not but the "I'll see ya" at the end would have made me shoot milk out of my nose had I been drinking milk while listening to it.

God Magnus,
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm really glad you liked it, everything you said was exactly what I was going for. Your positive review has for the first time given me the true inspiration to continue. Thanks so much!

As for the end of episode two...LOL what the heck happened??? That totally wasn't intentional, but it gave me a great idea. I would love to have the show introduced and ended like that, as if there was a Decepticon itself helping me broadcast. Albeit, a not to bright Con they wanted to get off the front lines.

Or maybe I'm over thinking and it was just funny. Seriously, it was hilarious despite the fact I don't know how it got in there. I think because I was working so hard on the rest of the show that the ending just got away from me. Either way, its funny.

As for the I'll see ya, that was supposed to be slightly tounge in cheek. Just a bit.

I like using other music besides TF music, the Smash Bros Music kinda just fits the tone of what I want to do. Think it would work if I continued?

Again, thanks for your support, and look for more to come!

Decepticast,

Your podcast was very insightful and I like your critique on the Animated show and characters. While im not a big fan of Animated (the storyline is just too kiddy for me) the toys are great.

Good luck on your endevour, and I look foward to future episodes.

First Gen, Thanks so much for the support! Every little bit means everything to me. Yes, I agree, Animated does tend to sacrifice some things for the younguns, but I feel its worth it for TFs that are deep, rounded characters. Although the toys look amazing, I can't help but wonder what would happen if those characters and designs were put into a darker story line. Maybe in the comics.

Scott updated his podcast this week with his Botcon coverage,
He talks about the panels and he reviews the Exclusive set.

Also he wants to know if you guys have any suggestions for his segments?
Hope you all enjoy it!

Thanks so much for tuning in! Yeah, my Botcon show was a little late, sorry about that. I've hit on a schedule that I think will work for me. For those still unacquainted, Decepticast is still up and running, the Sixth Episode was just put up! Hope everyone enjoys!

i wish you had posted in here when you had done a new one, they were realy good. cant believe i forgot about them -i'll have to check out them out tomoro

Great job! I've listened to the first 3 episodes so far, going to listen to the rest as I putter around the house doing some chores and stuff. I really like how you pack a great deal of information into a short time. I 100% agree with God Magnus' comments on how your podcast sounds. You present all your information in a clear manner without any distractions. Overall all, I'm looking forward to your future episodes and submitting some listener questions! Anyone who hasn't listened to an episode yet, give it a shot!

You've definitely found space on my already packed iPod!
