Joe on SyFy Radio April 23rd!

[Joe Beaudoin Jr.]

Everyone,

Michael Hinman, the news coordinator and SyFy Portal Actual over at the superb SyFy Portal, has started an internet radio show called SyFy Radio. The show itself launches on April 2nd and people can listen to it both live and via the archives, should you not be able to listen live. The show runs every Wednesday at 10 P.M. Eastern/7 P.M. Pacific and runs for 90 minutes.

The beautiful thing about SyFy Radio is that people can call in or talk on their chat room during the show to bring up questions or discuss the show’s contents with fellow listeners. Plus, I’ve known Mike for a long time, and feel comfortable in going on his radio show. (I was offered to go on NPR, but turned them down because of time constraints — I’m by no means a morning person, people who know me know that I work in the wee hours of the night — and the fact that I was not comfortable with speaking on NPR.)

I will be on the show Wednesday, April 23rd. The show starts at 10 P.M. ET, as noted before, and my appearance will start around 10:25-10:30 P.M and will last for roughly 20 minutes, if not more. I will be answering your questions, so feel free to participate. The topics of discussion will be Battlestar Galactica (Nah… Really?), Season Four, the Battlestar Wiki and Galacticruise. And anything you guys can bring up that’s on those topics.

The show will be streaming live from SyFy Portal’s BlogTalkRadio, which you may access from here.

Disclaimer moment: Do note that this is a family-friendly show, so no foul language, please, and no immature hi-jinks either. We may have fun on the show, but stupidity and high-school level immaturity will send you to a comfy cell in the New Caprica Detention Center. For food, I’m told they serve hardboiled eggs… or something similar.

Update: Mike's moved the show to an earlier timeslot, so the show itself starts at 10 P.M. ET and my appearance will start around 10:25 P.M.

It will last about 20 minutes. I'll be taking phone calls, so feel free to ask me about stuff. Or just listen to us chatter like two old ladies.

Oops. Wrong bump.

In the rare event that people missed the show, missed the blog posts, and missed this thread I have more exposure.

Tonight's show has ended but you can still listen to it. I made two posts, one on BSG Wiki's Blog and one on FrakMedia's blog, about it.

Don't forget to check out future episodes of SyFY Radio and be sure to call in. All the information is available in the blog posts.

For one, everybody's voice was much lower than I expected.

It was nice to hear a great interview about the site. The talk about the J.K. Rowling suit was good...there really are too many fans who become such fans of a show that they attempt to own a part of it. Fan fiction is among the most common ways that fans supplant the writer's right to establish and maintain their universe. Anything that tries to gain money by derivation isn't a good thing. I would personally crack down on fan fiction for anything I write, although I don't think suing is the first way. As Rowling did, and as many creators do, most notably George Lucas, they are happy to allow fans to play with concepts through fan films and costumes and clubs, but do stamp the foot down when the fans try to credit themselves for someone else's work.

I would have loved to call in myself but I've been working late and hard after crashing my car last week and working on getting new wheels (which I finally did).

I'm still tickled how Shane mispronounced my nickname as "Spencissy-ian".

Was I called a Senior Chief or did I confuse "Benjamin" with "Spencerian"?

Shane was trying to say "Spencerian", but mangled the pronunciation.
