Congrats on the podcast! I'm worthless tonight, but through the haze of fatigue, it sounded pretty great.

Woo-hoo!

Now I can listen to it while sitting on a smelly bus! And I'll giggle and just blend in with the others on the bus who talk to them self and so on.

Also, I'm not sure why, but I'm a leetle freaked out by conjoined twins. I know I'm a horrible person [was told so about 50 times in one day, so it must be true] but it just creeps me out.

._.

Sorry to any conjoined twins who read this! I don't mean to be mean... but if it makes you feel better midgets creep me out too!
I just don't know how to act around them and I feel like I would just stare...

It would be interesting to hear the readers voices as characters on the pod casts *(hint! hint!)* Keeping you of course as the narrator.

Heh and with this episode i keep waiting for a tall skinny guy in a tattered suit and a screw for an eye with a crow on his shoulder, to step out an be the ring leader.

Unfortunately, I can't listen to the podcast (public terminal, drat), but I think it's a great idea.
So is the mind transfer ability. That is so awesome!
Kind of interesting that the hypnotism immediately stopped working as soon as the transfer was complete...or was it supposed to hypnotize the audience, instead? Brrr, mind control is way scarier than snakes, IMHO.

To all:
One thing about the podcast is that it starts at the very beginning, at PETER AND THE DEAD MEN, so it covers material you've already read. Although, there's always the lure of my beeee-U-tiful voice...

Hey, no snickering out there.

Also, it might be interesting to you guys to listen to the evolution of the characters' voices. Dill and Grandfather, in particular, have changed pretty radically over the course of several hours of recording (I'm up to PETER AND THE SWAMP MONSTER in terms of raw material). Right now, they're at the very beginning, and don't sound quite so different from my regular voice. Dill's just got more 'tude, and Grandfather is a bit gruffer. But they'll get WAAAAY different in the next six weeks.

Todd -
Thanks! Take a listen when you can!

N7 -
Cool! Although I hope you don't mind revisiting the first stories...

I post about 7 pages a week. The podcast is about 11 pages worth of material a week. Anybody want to solve the equation of how long it will take for the podcast to catch up to the blog, given that we have about 340 pages of blog so far, and will be continuing at a page a day for the forseeable future?

And I'm with you on conjoined twins, N7. Not so much if it's at the hip, or an arm and a leg, but two-headed people? I gots a problem with that. Sorry to my loyal two-headed readers...I guess that makes me a horrible person too, just like N7. Maybe I just need more two-headed people in my life, to get over my ignorance and fear.

Although I'm down with the little people. They're cool. (Although one of our villains is a decidedly non-cool little person...)

AnakMoon -
Hmmmm. Maybe that could be another contest: be a voice in the podcast...

And I love your image of a badguy. Is it taken from something I'm unfamiliar with (say, a manga or anime), or did you come up with that yourself? Pretty creepy.

Um the Muse -
Good point! Didn't even think about it that Leng could've just kept hypnotizing the snake once it was in Eng's head. However, I'm going to say it's because of the theatricality of it all. It would be boring to just have Eng bob his head back and forth...people might have thought he was dancing to Lady Gaga or something.

Oh, and Leng's going to address the audience, so he couldn't play the flute and talk at the same time...but I suppose he COULD still charm snakey Eng, if he went back to playing...
