Futility Radio The First UK based Firefly/Serenity Podcast http://www.sendingawave.wordpress.com en-gb Copyright 2006 Wed, 06 Jan 2010 00:40:00 -0000 Sun, 03 Sep 2006 08:40:00 -0000 wave@futilityradio.com Futility Radio The monthly Firefly/Serenity Podcast out of the UK! This is the first Firefly/Serenity Podcast to be based in the UK. It was created by Toni Myers, Wendy Scott and Andrew Thorogood. This is a fun show, designed to talk about both the TV Show Firefly and the movie Serenity in both a fun and informative way. In the show we will cover conventions whilst they are on (it won't be live but it won't be far off!) as well as conducting interviews with fans, collectors and hopefully one day some people involved with the show. We will also publish information in advance about topics in upcoming shows, so that you can send us emails or voicemails to include in the show. If people would also like to send us recorded reviews or any other items, we would welcome your input. Thanks you for finding our show! Odile and Wendy.

Podcasts Show 9: December 2006 - Flangate! This show was originally supposed to be a report on the Booster Events Flanvention 2 event in LA, but as the event was cancelled less than a day before it was due to start, many people still turned up from all over the world. Wendy talks to many of them, and we see how over the weekend the local California Browncoats put an event together as they were going along for those who turned up! We discuss the future for Booster, then round off with a discussion on the future of the Firefly/Serenity franchise that was recorded in Leeds in October. That's it for 2006, the next episode will come out in January, see you then! Toni, Wendy, Mike and Andrew.

Podcasts Show 10: Flanvention Fallout, Well, Wendy's back from America having attended the (lack of) Flanvention, and it looks like none of the attendees are going to get any of their money back. We pick apart some of the statements made by people involved in Booster Events (the "organisers"), and have a lot of fun in the process! Wendy also once again thanks the people that put the Backup Bash in place. That's the last regular show of the year, however we are hoping to put out some highlights of the backup bash between Christmas and the new year. Have a good Christmas and new year, see you in January Kudos, Toni, Wendy, Mike and Andrew.
