Podcast # 208 - Jeff & Earth 2

Dangelus · January 06, 2009, 12:14:52 AM

Hey Jeff, just wanted to say I really enjoyed your podcast. It has really got me interested in watching Earth 2 once more.

Got to say I am really loving this idea of guest hosts. There are a lot of people here with great knowledge of particular shows and films and it gives Rico some well deserved time off!

I hope you will consider doing another podcast in the future Jeff.

Great job Jeff. I've never seen Earth 2 and now I'm of thinking seeking out the DVDs. :)

Oh, and don't apologize for your Canadian accent. It rocks. ;)

Great job buddy.. you set some high standards for the rest of us who follow with Guest hosting. :)

I watched the first half of season one but then gave up on it.. I think it's time to revisit it.

And as many have said here.. don't apologize for your accent.. it makes you who you are.. we like you just the way you are.

OK you guys are crazy. I don't hear any accent.

:)

Meds · January 06, 2009, 11:48:08 AM

Aye ;)

billybob476 · January 06, 2009, 11:57:24 AM

...and yes I realize I am also Canadian and that may have something to do with it. :)

Thanks for all the replies. Yes Joe, I am from Alberta. I am like you, I can never pick up others Canadian accents (well unless it is Bob and Doug McKenzie as it is over the top). I know in my other podcast that I do, I have had a few comments in the past that I sounded Canadian, and when I went back and listened I could hear my accent. I used to have a bad habit of saying eh a lot, but I have worked to try and keep that down a bit.

Thanks Darmok for your reply, I agree that Yale was a bit of an unfortunate Character, especially for the time. I guess though throughout the season, the character was exonerated to a certain point. If they had another season it would have been interesting to see if they would have explored his character more as being a free person.

I knew a guy from Petawawa and he had a pretty think accent that I was able to pick up on. Also I can obviously pick up a Quebec accent but aside from that most anglophone Canadians sound alike to me!

I've just been putting a couple of comments on the front page and realised I never made my comment here.

I have to say I was impressed! A 'new' voice discussing a show I personally had never even heard of could have gone either way but to my ears, this was an excellent show and has put another series on my 'list of things I need to watch'.

Thanks Jeff.

Jeff,

I got to listen to your show yesterday, and it was a treat. I echo what others have said, that your accent is mild and, regardless, is nothing to apologize for.

I was an Earth-2 fan when it aired, but I hadn't thought much about it since it went off the air. Your refresher on the series reminded me of how good it was and how much I missed it.

Thanks,
Dan

Thanks Dan and Feathers for the kind words.
