  1. Thanks and I did not know that on Hangouts but I may try Live soon then, maybe a trial on certain weeks of the month. As for the “off the rails” I want to try to bring in random topics more and less of the news other than huge events. I get over reliant on that in the past year(s) instead of informing and reacting.

  2. Great show guys, as for podcast networks, we all enjoy different fandoms, and if you connect with podcast hosts it’s good to hear them talk about various subjects. It’s also good to fill the podcast que for the week. I have a transformers dedicated podcast but to a “Off The Rails” episode from time to time where the hosts can talk about the latest films they’ve seen or other figures they collect. Talking about the same thing week in week out can get draining.
    It’s interesting Steve you said you enjoyed st beyond more as entertainment then a fan of the series, it feels a lot of the big franchise films this year have focused more on entertaining then store and charactors, full disclosure I see the live action tf movies the same. Yes there’s plot holes, poor charactor development and moments when you think wtf, but that’s been the franchise since g1, some fans just forget that.
    I hope you guys don’t stop, I’m looking forward to the patreon scheme you guys think up and unless there’s a drop off in listeners or real life gets in the way keep on keeping on.

    Ps, google hangouts won’t exsist after sep12, it’s being closed down and you need to use google live now :(

  3. I don’t pay great attention to a lot of podcast networks. Honestly the bigger the network the less I tend to care. Like something like Podcast One that just has a tone of different podcast with no real big reason why I tend to tune out everything not on my radar. Prefer a network that is geared toward certain fandoms like geek stuff, sport stuff, etc.. Like I could care less about political podcast so putting it on your network does nothing for me.

  5. It is real hard for me to get excited about the Star Trek TV show when it is only going to be on CBS’s streaming service. Unless they decide to make it accessible elsewhere I won’t be watching it.
