The New Website Is Live!

Welcome to the new home of HPMoR: The Podcast. I hope you like. In addition to posting a new episode every week, I’ll also be posting production notes for each chapter. I learned a lot while making the site, starting with basically no knowledge of website creation. I still don’t know much (WordPress is awesome), so I’m sure as I learn more it’ll get better. Much like the podcast. Which brings me to…

A couple months back I re-listened to a few of my very early episodes, and wow are they bad (comparatively). I didn’t know anything when I first started. I much prefer learning-by-doing, it’s a lot more fun and you get a feeling of accomplishment. On the other hand, people see the early things that you learned on. I have to thank all my long-time listeners for sticking with me. Therefore I will, over the next several months, be reworking the earlier episodes to bring them closer to the quality level of the current episodes. I plan on re-recording the first 9 episodes entirely (the first 2 are already done and updated), and then going back and re-editing up through 20-something. I can’t make them great and still stick with the one-new-episode-per-week schedule (which I refuse to abandon), but they’ll be a lot better than they are now.

I’m also bringing in more people to do voices! You’ll never have to hear my screeching McGonagall again! :) Or my horrific Weasley twins. Many roles are already spoken for, but if you’d like to contribute to the project I’m accepting submissions for minor roles. Ever thought Gregory Goyle doesn’t sound nearly ninja enough? Here’s your chance to make that better! Just send a few lines in any common audio format to hpmorpodcast@gmail.com with the character’s name in the subject line, or see the Contact page.

Hope you like the new site.

No New Episode – The Server Monk’s Prayer

The Server Monk’s Prayer, from Sean Kennedy’s “Tales of the Afternow”, read by Drake Walker.

Did some quick googling after this was recorded and found:

iTunes has been around since 2001. However podcasting did not become a thing until 2004. iTunes added podcast support in June 2005.

Tales from the Afternow launched on June 24, 2002.

Whoops

39 was posted a bit early, I didn’t notice until a couple hours later. If you got it early, congrats. :) For everyone else, it’ll be available the regularly scheduled time, Wednesday February 22nd.
