Great show, great readings! Jen, what I said what that reading about the borg attack late at night made me feel nervous and a bit uneasy. Basically you guys are definitely able to communicate the stress and fear in the situation. A testament to the quality of writing.

Also, I LOVE how we are so completely all over the place with D'Callan's accent. I love it!

I too laughed at that. I wondered when he became an Auzzie several times.

Yeah! I thought that but someone reads him as having a British accent!

LOL. Yeah, the whole accent thing is a very difficult to get right if you don't hear it everyday. I hope no one stops trying to do voices because they're afraid of getting it wrong. I almost added an apology to Australians for the horrible job I did. I use to hate it when people butcher Texas Drawls.... But it's fun to give the characters a little life. I think we should continue to butcher accents...not on purpose but because we're trying to be in character and because it's  fun. :D

Another excellent cast. What a gas to hear so many doing the readings and what a story! If you guys are gonna read all the postings then I might just wait to hear them on the cast as I love what everyone adds to the readings!

Would also like to volenter my services if you need someone to do a reading.

Well done  :thumbsup

I think that's what I liked best about the podcast. People that did the readings went in and read them without hesitation and nailed the characters even if the accents didn't match.

Mine wasn't a complain, but a compliment at the dedication to the reading that those of you that read showed. I'm still nervous about reading anything at all, but those all were great!

Oh... you should just go for it Chris. :D
Nothing to be nervous about. You'd be great.

Yep I have your name down Metron.. so we are cool.. I'll be divving the posts up later.

As for reading.. you just have to do it.. I hate my readings.. I always listen to them again afterwards and wish I changed something or said it differently... but oh well it's fun to get into character.

Wow what a fabulous Ready Room, great readings all. Jen i thought your accent was brilliant, dead on (and I've been to Australia and hang around with Ozy's (G'Day Michelle)). The person who read my character in an English accent should be ashamed of himself, oh hold on, that was me. (I had 15 mins to do the reading and i had a cold and my attempt at the accent came out more like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins). The readings are amazing and so much fun to do, keep doing accants have fun and enjoy everyone.

Excellent, excellent stuff. I really enjoyed this.

Why read the RPG when I can have it read to me so well ;). A multitude of readers voices makes it much more enjoyable too.

The new intro music, however, that's just...eerie. Like it!

FINALLY have had a chance to hear this show. Awesome job everyone! I would like to give some special prop to BillyBob who's reading was superb and King who's reading was scary! As always, I am back and available as well. Let's keep up this format, it's great!

I have gotten almost all the way through it, and I have to say.. Amazing!

The storyline is awesome, the readings were great, and I got lost in it.. it was excellent.  I can't wait to star watch tonight and listen to the rest.  I'm hoping to get more time to write again too.  Things in my personal life are hard right now, but I'm trying to stay caught up. 

Excellent job everyone.

:cheers
