usernamenumberHey, wow. People are starting to notice Second Shift! Yesterday I had a really flattering experience. I took a chance and emailed Gregg Taylor, one of the guys behind Decoder Ring Theater, who do two of my favorite shows, "Black Jack Justice" and "The Red Panda". I mentioned Second Shift, pointed him to our website and asked for his thoughts on the show.
Well it turns out that he'd not only already found us on his own but had also already given us a very nice writeup on the Audio Addicts blog:
Here's one I found at Dramapod that's worth a look... Its called Second Shift... billed as a "comedic drama", it quickly starts rolling as a trip into fantasy as three Boston-area college students who work in a pizza parlor are pulled into a Fantasy-style adventure... and if I'm not yet sure why, I also don't mind not knowing yet. This one is very ambitious, there are a lot of characters and there's a lot going on - but it feels very much like those at the helm have a strong idea of where this is going, so I feel very comfortable settling in for the ride.
Coming from someone whose own work I admire, that's a big vote of confidence! We've also had a recent influx of people visiting the forum. One newcomer wrote:
I found your podcasts by accident, never being a podcast listener myself. I think it was through a link from a link in a friend's blog that just seemed interesting.
Anyways, I've listened to all three episodes the last couple days after work and can't get enough. I wish I'd found these 6 months from now so I could listen to them all in a row. Wink So, great job at making a very enjoyable "radio" drama! I look forward to hearing more.
So, wow. People who weren't personally dragged there by a cast member are listening to our show and liking it. Woo! =:)
By the way, if any of you have been enjoying the show and want to help us out, please take a minute to visit Drama Pod and give us a vote. It doesn't even require a login, just one click! We're already in the top three fantasy shows, but with a few more votes we could make it to the front page as well, which would greatly increase our visibility.
By the way, I don't think I've mentioned this, but I'm now officially the assistant producer (or "ass prod", as it is sometimes called) of the show. So, alas for those of you who have been trying to politely ignore my pluggage, I'm afraid you can only expect more from here on. =:P
Next episode goes up in a week and I'm really excited about it. After taking a lot of time to establish characters more in ep3, eps 4 and 5 will ratchet up the action a lot and, well, some interesting things are going to happen. Enjoy!
