Episode 2: Some People Pronounce Anime Differently, Slowbird Says "Yeah" A Lot, and We Support The LGBT Cause (Not Just The L Part, Either)
Hey, everyone!
After the surprisingly positive reception of the first “Pass the Whiskey” podcast, we’ve returned for another round of whiskey. For the uninitiated, this is a community podcast through and through. It’s run by the Whiskey community, and it’s about the Whiskey community. Hostess extraordinaire, Sparklykiss, is joined by resident pony expert, Slowbird, and hey, I’m in there too. The fun doesn’t end there though, as we also had our first guest this week. You may know him as Kyreo, and he participates in another podcast that you all may have heard of. You’ve also probably heard some crazy new tunes/music/audio magic. That would be the product of fellow user, Tebbit. Big thanks to that duder! Without further ado, here is the podcast for your listening pleasure!

Featured User: Psycosis
As mentioned within the podcast itself, our featured user this week is the porn game-blogging, game-making, mash-up-mixing crazy person known to many simply as Psycosis. He writes an entertaining blog on Giant Bomb, so check out the blog tab on his profile. Also be sure to check out his website (psy-city.co.uk), which houses tons of his awesome creations. Keep being awesome, Psycosis!
Note from Sparklykiss: Really, Psycosis. Keep it up. We need more Nicki Minaj and Pokemon mash-ups in our day-to-day, if only turntable.fm was available to you again. And before I spoil it, finish your secretprojectshh. :D
Avatar/Banner Contest!
OK, guys. This being a community podcast and all, we’ve decided to enlist any of you who are willing for a couple of special tasks. At the moment, the avatar being used to represent PTW on various sites is a photo of two ferrets curled up into a heart shape. It’s undeniably cute, sure, but we need something that better represents what our podcast is really about: the Whiskey Media sites and their communities! We know how creative and clever the users of Whiskey sites can be, so we’re hoping lots of you will submit some great Whiskey Media-inspired avatar pictures. We basically need something silly like this profile’s avatar, except incorporating the rest of Whiskey and/or it’s community. Have fun with it, and we look forward to seeing your submissions!
The second part to this is the banner contest. As you can see, we have no banner to throw up at the top of these blogs. I’m a big supporter of banners, so again, we wanted to give the community a chance to shape this community-oriented podcast. Therefore, we’ll also be accepting submissions for banners! Again, the only real requirement in the creative sense is that it should incorporate Whiskey and it’s community in some way. Or if you want to get really crazy, you could make website specific banners for each of these crazy blog posts! Exciting, right? Anyways, there’s no definitive height requirement, but we would like it to be 800px wide. We’ve created a bare bones template for an 800x350px banner for your use, but feel free to make it a bit less or more than 350px tall if you think that would look better. If you guys don’t help us, then I’d probably have to make one, and I know you’re all much more creative than I am, so please help! This is the size we had in mind:
Last notes on this: The last day you can submit an avatar and/or banner will be July 11th. Also, there will be prizes(!), but we’re leaving the details fairly ambiguous. Help us out, and you could win something! That’s always a great motivator, right? (Note: We’ll be accepting anything afterwards if you feel so inclined, but that is the deadline for the mystery stuff that Sparklykiss has been cooking up.)
Thanks for listening!
Thanks to everyone for listening and all of the support. As always, we want to keep improving, so if you have any scathing criticism, send a PM to Sparklyki--I’m sorry, that was mean. Just post it here, but please keep it constructive. Also, we’d appreciate any and all questions or comments you have. If you’d like us to read something next podcast, the means of contacting us are listed below. Email and Formspring are the preferred methods for questions and such, but we’ll be watching everything.

Note from Sparklykiss: I should stop talking about things that don’t exist yet! They then become LIES. Totally in JJWeatherman’s blog, not mine! But, hey, that’s cool, right? Like doing two podcasts in one day? (I have learned a very awful lesson.) Also wanted to give one last “HOO-RAH” to any listeners who make it to the end. Sorry for that extra half hour. I have no idea where it came from. Cheers!~
