Dead.FM

This past weekend a bunch of the DG got together for what has started to be an annual reunion. We call it “Reunicon”, because face it, we game a lot when we get together. It’s a time for us to gather together under no specific agenda. Naturally in drunk of the night we get into some rather lively conversations.

I had intended on recording a few Dead.FM bits there, but the opportunity just didn’t present itself. We even had several people on board to do it, but having fun, enjoying our time together, it just wasn’t meant to be. But we did talk about Dead.FM. What we liked about it, what our struggles were. What we wanted it to be. The result was the realization that we really can’t do this weekly. Or even every two weeks reliably. Because what we want it to be is a bit like our Christmas special. Sketches, music, maybe a tirade or an interview, that kind of thing. But not just one of those things in a show with some slogged together news. Turns out we really don’t have meaningful news on a weekly basis. So we’re going with Monthly.

So, our next episode will be February 11th, 2015 and continuing every Second Wednesday of the month.

Again, make sure you subscribe, because you’ll just automatically get the new episodes.

The good news is, we did come away with a lot of great ideas. Tiffany Pike and I talked about several parody songs. I know Andy’s got several ideas up his proverbial sleeve, and we have a few on the docket we just haven’t had a chance to get to. Not to mention the next KBC radio play. BTW, the reason that hasn’t come up again is because Jimmy is slogging away at the Demon Hunters RPG writing. It’s impressive. I caught him in a very serious face concentration at Reunicon. Turns out he was STUDYING Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein for a section in the RPG. This man knows his shit.

This will also give us a chance to collect more of your questions for the Q&A section of the show. So, get ready for the Valentine’s day episode coming up next. You can submit your questions below.

Welcome everyone to the new Dead Gentlemen podcast, Dead.FM! Can you believe that URL wasn’t taken?! Years ago we had a sketch video podcast called Dead Gentlemen Presents, and for one of those episodes, we did an audio version. We called it Dead Gentlemen Presents: Dead Air. None of us know why we didn’t get our shit together and do more of those. It was a lot of fun, and dammit, it’s time to bring out the dead and start again! Being that Dead Air is taken by a few podcasts out there, we’re going with Dead.FM.

So, what are we going to do on this show? Dead.FM will serve as one vehicle to get news and updates out to you on a WEEKLY basis, starting Wednesday, November 26th, 2014. Wednesdays will be Dead.FM Wednesdays. These will be about anything we think is newsworthy, so updates about:

• DG Projects, current or upcoming
• ZOE Projects, current or upcoming
• Major events and convention appearances
• Plugs for stuff we want you to know about
• Where to buy our nerdy crap!

Additionally we’re putting together some audio productions to feature on the show. So some weeks you might also get:

• Radio plays
• Audio sketches & fake ads
• Interviews with people we want to talk to
• Music we like by people we know and want to plug
• Sound clips from upcoming projects, either our own or other folks we’re excited about

Contributors to the show are: Don Early, Andy Dopieralski, Brian Lewis, Chris Duppenthaler, and whoever else we can rope in!

And of course we want to A your Q’s, so send us your questions about anything at all (relationship advice, religious ponderings, how to prepare for a role, what games are we playing, etc) and we’ll do our best to answer them on the show. Send your questions to:

Dead.FM@deadgentlemen.com

We also need your help!!! Do you have material you’d like us to feature on the show? Are you in a band you think we’d like? Can you hook us up with someone you think we should know about? Our liquor cabinet is low, and the beer fridge is empty, can you bring over bourbon, scotch, irish whisky or some good beer?

In seriousness though, we want to know about great stuff going on out there that we might not otherwise get to know about. Same email address above applies.
