You may have noticed that the HE Podcast hasn’t updated in a month or so. I’ve been getting a lot of questions form listeners, so I wanted to address your concerns. The HE Podcast is on a brief Hiatus while I finish preparations for the launch of the first HijiNKS Ensue Book.

It’s called HijiNKS ENSUE Volume 1: Godspeed, You Fancy Bastard and it’s available for preorder right now!

If all goes according to plan, the book should be finalized and off the the printer in the next couple of weeks, then the podcast can return.

Thanks for your patience,

~Joel

Who: The HE Podcast Crew, a few other friends and YOU FANCY BASTARDS!

What: Shitty Movie Night to celebrate my 28th Birthday (which was June 3rd). We’re broadcasting the event live over Ustream so you can watch along and make fun of the terrible movies with us in the chat room.

When: Saturday Night, 06/27/09 starting at 8pm Central (barring the usual technical difficulties)

Where: The HE Podcast Ustream area

Why: Because it was so god damn much fun last time. Those of you who were there can testify that we had a blast trashing the shittiest of movies with Fancy Bastards all over the world.

Eli is providing the movies, so you know they will be frighteningly aweful. Hope to see you there!

We’ll be broadcasting live via Ustream.TV FRIDAY (10-12-09) starting at 8pm central.

This will be an AUDIO ONLY stream. See you there for the live chat.

The HE Podcast is going through some transitions and it’s future (who, what and how it will be broadcast) is uncertain. Regular listeners will notice that I have been trying different formats, etc to keep the podcast relevant. The last few episodes have been plagued with technical difficulties and have resulted in less-than-stellar podcasts in both quality and content.

What I really want is to stop trying to jam all the geek news of the week into the show and really focus more on 2-3 topics or a single overall theme per episode. If you have ideas for episode themes, please email comics[@]hijinksensue[dot]com. Dont post them in the comments since they are episode specific.

Episode 58 is going to be MAILSACK ONLY! So post your questions, topics, geek news items etc and we will discuss anywhere from zero to all of them.

I’ve noticed a lot of you seem to spend a great amount of effort on crafting your questions scenarios (”If you were stuck on a the Lost Island with either Corey Feldman or the other Corey, which season of Quantum Leap would you want to watch on DVD?). You’ll find that we typically don’t answer those because they seem to be set ups with no punch line. You can’t force the funny. Simple questions (”What did you think of this season of Lost”, “Who was the best Star Trek Captain and why?” or “What was the craziest job you ever had?”) tend to get answered and have the most entertaining results.
