bramble@narniahome.com — Mon, 7 Sep 2009 11:59:00 GMT

We're back! Ephinie and Inkling discuss Voyage of the Dawn Treader with host John Burkitt (EveningStar) after a long hiatus. Inkling's pet non-mod (I mean "husband") was in on the discussion and made some great remarks but his audio track could not be salvaged. Followed by an original Byron on Wells story "The Usual Date".

After a long hiatus, we're back! Roger Thomas and John Burkitt bring you their first impressions of Prince Caspian (the movie, not the book...they have 12th impression of the book). The show is rounded out by a new Bard's Tale, "Good Luck" which is anything but!

We have switched to a monthly format. Our next podcast will be the last Saturday in each month and be released on the following day. Yes, when we say "For Sunday..." we are saying it on Saturday. Life is full of deception. Get over it. ;-)

NarniaFansCast - Episode 1

nfc@narniafans.com — Fri, 14 Apr 2006 15:10:00 GMT

Hosts: Andy, John, Paul, London, David

Our first episode! Hoorah! Listen to us talk about the DVD, debate over what order to read the books in and yap about what happened after the Pevensies left Narnia. There is also mention of a water closet. This show was originally 56 minutes long and filled with bloopers, I almost feel sorry for Andy. Almost. Andy actually lost his dialogue file in the first episode and had to re-record, so he actually isn't as intelligent as he sounds. Not the best audio quality this episode.
