Cat & Cthulhu – Episode 5 "A Conferance of Beings"
So what happens in this issue?
Cthulhu comes home after getting plenty free fish and souls at a scary monster conferance.
Author’s comment:
Not much to say here. It involves tuna which is good for the
characters. It involves some H.P. Lovecraft references. The original
text was written just after I’d attended a conference for my
department at work. This issue also marks the first appearance of Boo.
Producer’s comment:
I enjoyed making this episode, more so than the last one. After rehearsing the script it only needed two takes to get the whole thing down. Instead of making distinct voices I’m much happier with just putting more feeling into the characters. It still feels a little strange though, talking to a webcam microphone. Maybe one day I’ll have the chance to produce an episode in a studio… now where is that BBC7 phone number…?
Where are the psuedopods?
Hi. Due to flooding in Sheffield (rolling blackouts and then no internet for 24hours) I haven’t been able to do C&C. I’ll try to post the latest episode this evening (Saturday).
Cat & Cthulhu – Episode 4 "Ice skating is scary and Clowns are evil"
So what happens in this issue?
Cat and Cthulhu spy on an unidentified male ice skating. Then start to
talk about this now identified persons dislike of clowns. It is all
quite silly really.
Authors comment:
I like this issue. But I am a bit bias because it actually happened!
Well the ice skating bit did. It was the only time I fell that day.
Ice skating really is scary. Although it gets easier. Kind of. I don’t
like clowns that much either. However I do like clowning around.
Producer’s comment:
In this episode I experimented with more distinct character voices, but I don’t think it worked too well. At one point during “rehearsal” Cthulhu either sounded like Brian Blessed, and at another time like Hans Gruber from ‘Allo ‘Allo. I think I’ll voice future episodes like I did with the first two for the moment.
Delay – Episode 4
Due to family commitments Episode 4 of Cat & Cthulhu won’t be released until Saturday. Apologies for any inconveniance caused.
Cat & Cthulhu – Episode 3 "In the words of Obi-Wan"
The third episode of Cat & Cthulhu sees Master waking up earlier than usual and Cat bothering Cthulhu about a certificate he received in the mail.
This week’s guest reader is Timothy M. Ralphs, who does a superb job voicing Cthulhu. It’s dribbly.
Cat & Cthulhu – Now on iTunes!
Hello everyone. Just a quick entry to bring you the news that Cat & Cthulhu is now featured on the iTunes Store at http://phobos.apple.com
As you probably guessed this blog and it’s feed exist not only for your listening pleasure but also for myself to gain more technical experiance with podcasting, and what a steep learning curve indeed! I gained most of my knowledge from the rather simply named: http://www.how-to-podcast-tutorial.com/ Now it’s an ok tutorial but is getting a bit dated. Some of the sections becoming more guidelines than actual tutorials. For example, the chicklet code-adding video is redundant since Feedburner now has a utility to add one directly to your appropriate blog. Exploring everything is the key here.
So, since this is a “experimental” blog I wouldn’t expect it to be fully featured or customised. That will come with the official production blog and feed. Don’t worry though – I will be sure to continute posting episodes here until such time when the proper site is completed and you’ve all edited your ‘bookmarks’.
So happy listening – our next episode will be released this coming Wednesday: “Episode 3 [III? - Editor] – In the Words of Obi-Wan”
