Kup, Skywarp & Ultra Marginal; You guys really brought the show up a notch, it was great listening to some varied opinions and stories rather than my own nasally-worblings! :p:D
I definitely hope you'll all consider becoming regulars on Shooting The Sh#t! ;):cool:
Really enjoyed that guys!
That was definitely the best one yet (not because its missing Hursticon)
Looking forward to more episodes :D
Thanks mate and glad to hear itQuote:

- Not your fault or anything but I did find myself tuning out on the non-TFs topics (Predator, Power Rangers... etc). It was a long first episode so maybe that didn't help.
- I found the talk on TFs toys quite informative.
- My 2c (I think KalEl brought this topic up at one point): I am one living example of a TFs fan who did NOT grow up with G1, but it is still the series I am most fond of, despite all the errors, etc. so I think there's something about that show that Transfans are drawn to that goes beyond people's personal childhood experiences of it.
The best one yet. This episode definitely had the right flow.
A very enjoyable listen. Also happy to hear my listener question :)
Wait till you get to third ep, much more fun :pQuote:

"Shooting the Sh#" is too generic. It's a phrase that doesn't tell you anything about what the podcast is, what it might discuss, who it is.
There's also other podcasts called this or with episodes called this.
And frankly I don't see why you need a swear word in your show name. (I've got no issue with swearing within the show, my favourite podcast, TOFOP, drops the f-word and c-bomb aplenty, but they didn't call their show TOFOC.)
I can't think of an alternative because my mind's a bit blocked at the moment, but just throwing it out there because someone else might have one. Maybe there's a recurring phrase or topic or something from your shows that might make a good substitute name? Something that makes it more meaningful to the listeners? Something that might make people want to take a chance downloading a show in which each episode is feature-film length (and I'm talking James Cameron feature film length!) that "shooting the sh#t" doesn't.
Just listened to the 2nd ep and man that was a metric f**kton of reviews! :):)
What are your thoughts on this listeners?Quote:

The title does make me giggle as it suggests something coarse but really the show is about toys haha.
Is it too late to change the title? I don't mind it the way it is - the fact that a podcast exists in the first place is good enough for me~!!
I agree with Paulbot in that the title is too generic and doesn't give any clue as to what the podcast may be about. Actually the first thing I thought of when I read the title was that it could have something to do with Micheal Bay (probably because his "Shoot for the Edit" forums has a similar sounding name). Otherwise I wouldn't really know what it's trying to convey by shooting the s***. Sorry. But I think it's a minor point and it wouldn't take much for creative people such as yourselves to come up with something different.Quote:

myself and hursticon were brainstorming names. Talking sh#t about toys, then one of us said "shooting the sh#t about toys" hence shooting the sh#t: the toy podcast.Quote:

I'll be honest, I am not too hot on the title either. I also found it a bit too generic and the swear word on the title did at first give off the wrong impression when I first heard it as I wasn't even sure if this was a toy related podcast (I also thought it was something Bay related). Then some time later, I decided to open the thread and read about it and learned what it actually is.Quote:

sorry late reply, haven't really been ale to listen to it again til now that Im on day off. Yeah, not too big on the new intro, I prefer a more livelier intro kinda like when Im listening to a radio in FM/AM ... the intro just didnt appeal that much to me...Quote:

Hulk - for accessories erm I dunno.... mebbe a spare set of pants hehehhe he keeps ripping them apart anyhow hahahahahah
Custom of the week - That is a very appropriate recolour of the toy. Since the toy suffers from short toy syndrome anyways - just the right size for Optimus Primal... again something Hastak wouldn't come up with now... shame
Exciting news! I am doing an interview with Phil reed on sat about his 3rd party reference book "transforming collections".
If you have a question for Phil please let me know but Friday, and I'll see what I can do :)
Is this a book about various collections or a book about third party transformers? that would help me in formulating a question.Quote:

if so, do they mind the smaller 3rd party material that adds to an existing toy?
Has he previously collaborated with Hasbro or Takara on another book? if so, how does he compare collaborating with the 3rd party companies against collaborating with Takara/Hasbro?
Congrats on scoring an interview dude, looking forward to hearing it! :cool:
My question would be:
- Given your background in Product Development & Marketing; what would be the steps that you'd recommend to a 3rd Party Company if they were to set out on developing their own IPs, that didn't rely on borrowing from already established & trademarked properties?
Such as creating & building the product's narrative or mythos, and what the best medium would be to convey it to the desired audience/demographic?
Good questions, any others?Quote:

Keep your eyes peeled for when Kal_El manages to get Episode 4 out, after the marathon editing session it'll likely incur. :p:D
