I decided to start my own podcast this year and I'm very pleased with the results. I post one a month (usually towards the end of the month) and I hope that people on the MZ boards enjoy listening as much as I enjoy making them.
Each podcast has a special guest, some music and a little bit of news (but admittedly I just re-hash the new from other sources). So keep in mind that the news bits are more for the casual fan and me, so I can share some of the cool stuff that my friends post.
If you are someone who listens to podcasts, I'd very interested in hearing what you have to say (positive and negative).
Just head over to www.Kaijucast.com and you'll see the most recent episode.
I'd love to know what you guys think...
My first episode and the "guest" was my friend Martin who I was basically experimenting on by slowly subjecting him to Godzilla movies.
Second episode & still rough around the edges. Another guest was my gf at the time & she was another non-fan interview.
Jeff Dean of Horror Holocaust Radio pt 1: Jeff's show was primarily the impetus for me starting the Kaijucast. He's a fan of the movies and we talked for so long that I had to break it up into two episodes.
