Some Changes

yrnbmb@live.com (Sparrow) — Tue, 22 May 2012 15:49:00 +0000

Hello Owlies,

Have you noticed that lately I’ve been saying “there’s not much going on” a lot? I sure have. It seems each episode has less and less content right now.

With the slowing down of the quest and overall news, I’ve decided to change the News Nest just a bit. I will now be recording every other week, rather than every week. My goal with this change is to make every episode interesting and full of news.

If there is a time sensitive bit of news, such as a swap sign up that will only last for a week, I will be posting special announcements both here and on the blog. I hope that this will continue to keep everyone as up-to-date as possible.

There will not be an episode this week or next, as I get things re-organized, and work through a few other changes with the show. The next episode will be on June 6th.

Thanks very much to the owlies who contacted me in response to the search for a co-host. You guys may be hearing some new voice(s) soon! :)

Much love and hoots,
Sparrow ♥

A very happy belated birthday wish to Stephanie Dosen, the Mama Owl herself! Her birthday fell between two episodes, so better late than never, eh?

A couple of things about this episode: I totally forgot to say anything at all about the Birthday Mothaload Giveaway! HOW COULD I? I am so sorry. Stephanie was kind enough to do a giveaway for her birthday, and the winner was Kiewirose. Congratulations!

I know this episode is very fuzzy, and I apologize for the sound quality. I have just gone out to purchase a brand new fancy microphone, that I am very happy with. Hopefully this one will have a longer life than the old one.

Episode 11: Wait, that's not Sparrow...

Episode 11 features a guest podcaster! In other words...Sparrow has misplaced her microphone. She promises to have a new one by next week. In the meantime, enjoy this super duper episode presented by "Anairb" from Ravelry! ♥Thank you Briana♥

Other note: At the time of this recording, there was only one half of the Quest Clue to record. Please check the Ravelry boards for the rest of this week's clue!!

P.S. Sorry about the intro--I somehow mutilated the words beyond comprehension. The intro says "In a World where Tiny Owls stalk each other by night, this is the News Nest!" It's a reference to the swap, of course. :-)
