Fruitless Pursuitscast Episode One: Our Very First Group Podcast

contact@fruitlesspursuits.com (FruitlessPursuits.com) — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 12:16:00 +0000

Yesterday 4 of us got together to try out something new… we made a podcast! It's not a new concept to Luke or Mike, or even to our website, but it's the first time we gathered as a group to discuss the recent events that we've covered at Fruitless Pursuits.

A few of our contributors (Luke, Mike, Suzanne, J.) defied our time zone and hemispherical constraints, and got together to discuss some of the biggest (and nerdiest) topics of the last week or two, in more detail than we've been able to on the site. It was the first time we've tried anything like this, so it's very much a work in progress. It's also something we would like to continue as a regular feature, with the hosts varying from our group of contributors each time.

In this episode, we discuss:
-The big Star Wars week
-Scarlett Johansson's hacked photos
-DC Reboot
-D&D Day by Day
-Upcoming Video Games

Can our first episode live up to the first episode high standards set by The Phantom Menace, The Paul Reiser Show, Heil Honey I'm Home, or Australia's Naughtiest Home Videos?

You will have to listen to see.
