MORE Technical Difficulties???

GwGTTpodcast@gmail.com (The Girls with Glasses: Jessie & Laura) — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 16:39:00 +0000

Hi friends. :)

Some of you may be asking, "WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I DOWNLOAD MY GIRLS WITH GLASSES TALK TOLKIEN?!" Well, the answer is simple, yet so very, very complicated.

Somewhere in the chain of technology there is a glitch.

What kind of glitch, you ask?

Fucked if we know. We're working on it.

So please bear with us whilst we figure out what the hell is going on. Your patience will be very richly rewarded!

Hugs and kisses,
The Girls with Glasses

So, first off, I'd like to second everything Jessie said in the previous post. (Go read that first, if you haven't already. CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER, PEOPLE!)

Now that you've taken care of that business, you should be completely and utterly as stoked about this podcast for the following reasons:

1. It's two hot girls in glasses talking. Seriously. Think about that for just a second. Yeah...

2. We'll be touching on the novels of Tolkien, which you should read if you haven't already. Or, if you're dead set against reading, or if you hate paper (like some people), then don't, but you're missing out on a classic.

3. And if you're anti-novel, no worries! We'll ramble on about the film versions as well! (Personally, I could talk for HOURS solely about those rugged, sexy men.)

4. Obscure trivia? Check. Random characters you've probably never heard of? Check.

5. And how could I forget, we'll be answering questions from listeners like you!

All in all, it should be a good time. I know Jessie and I are certainly excited about it. So, be sure to keep up with us on Twitter (as we'll probably be announcing things there incessantly) and look for the first episode of Girls with Glasses Talk Tolkien!

And I promise, there won't even be a quiz afterwards.

Coming Soon to an MP3 Player Near You!

Laura and I have been doing all kinds of collaboration and preparation for the first installment of the podcast. The current plan is to test out Skype and the recording software this coming Sunday (1/31) and record the first show the following Tuesday night. I can't make any promises regarding when it'll actually be edited and ready for download, but I'm hoping that it won't be too many days later!

I think I can speak for Laura when I say that we're also not making any promises regarding quality. Neither of us know jack about podcasting. :) We'll try to be interesting and fun. And I'll try not to talk too fast...

I'd like to thank all the people who've sent us questions so far! All of our Twitter homies have been really supportive of our foray into the world of Internet Broadcasting; I'd particularly like to give a shout out to AAlgar for sending me that USB adapter thing, and for dispensing advice about software and file formats and things of that nature. It's been incredibly helpful. If you're not already listening to Sarcastic Voyage, you should be. Do it now!

We welcome all your questions and comments, so please don't hesitate to email us! A regular email is fine, but we also love audio questions, so feel free to record your question for us and send it along! We prefer .WAV format, if it's not too much trouble.

Stay tuned!
