HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Episode Forty-Two - "Raw"

Here it is! Episode Forty-Two. Experience the joy of an unedited, unbelled and whistled show. I can't even tell you what we talked about, that's how Raw this episodeis.

We will be returningat the end of December with our Holiday Spectacular Show! So we'll see you then.In the meantime enjoy your holidays and don't forget to get your small eggs!

Episode Forty-One
"I Sing The Candy Buckets Exclamation!"

Happy Hallow's End! Let the candy buckets never cease! Other than the awesome candy buckets, Auntie Ed also scientifically (ok, not THAT scientific ) reviews the holiday quests...for both sides. Yeah it's one of "those" segments.

Big V has much to say but we weren't really paying attention so we have no idea what it was. I think there were some moo'snd possibly a mention of mining. Oh yes and definately some views on the jousting scene.

Grand Master Z reviews two great mods one cannot be without! Well maybe you can but these will definately make your game life easier, even if one does have the horrible word "Tax" in it. (This is our scary Hallow's End epsiode after all).

Zogofxp's loft was replaced by a Smoothie Bar and as any good reporter will, he had his mic turned on to capture his explosion...I mean reaction. And Thunderstep is back with another continuing adventure of Fishing in the Nether! The epic story continues! Well, of course it continues. Be pretty silly if it didn't, right? Also in celebration of this scary holiday time, FTH has also done a revision of "The Raven", read courtesy of Anim5 of IDDFOS.

Episode Forty - "Cowless in Azeroth"

You read correctly. We are without cows for this show. But fret not, for we wouldn't leave you completely hanging. We talk about Brewfest and all of the fun that comes from this great holiday! (No really we mean it!)

On that note, huge shoutouts to everyone who got their Violet Proto Drake from completing it! We also discuss the lamest Holiday achievement to date. Also hear about Auntie Ed's "open mouth insert foot" moment.

Zogofxp talks about his encounter, finally, with the Wrath Gate and also discusses why he is a beach ball. Grand Master Z reviews two shiny mods! Onefor the Guild Masters out there and one just for the hell of it.

We also have special guest Angry Dwarf helping out as he will when we need him to. Actually, we just blackmailed him with those pictures of him down in the Undercity that one night with...well, never mind.

Episode Thirty-Nine - "And We're Back! Scary Isn't It?"

So here we are with Episode Thirty Nine! Sure, we could talk about Cataclysm and all of the upcoming, new things Blizzard has in store for us...and we do! Not much to talk about really,but that has never stopped us before!

Also a tale or two in there of what happened over Auntie Ed's summer vacation. Big V is back in the game and tells you all about his adventure in Wrath Gate...finally! He also gets great enjoyment out of bats who nose dive into the ground to bring you to Venomspite and really gets a kick out of their clock. We worry about the cow.

Zogofxp tells all of his own recent adventures in Northerend. Yes, he finally made it! Grand Master Z has another great mod to tell you all about and Thunderstep continues with a nail biting tale from Fishing In The Nether, with a cameo from Zog.

Awesome shoutout and thanks to Moonhawk for sending in this great pic!



Also a great self-pic sent into us from Kzaar on the Staghelm Server! We'll get Big V in bunny ears one day, just you wait!

Engraved Invitation

Songs used in this episode:

The Sensations - "Let Me In"
Felicia Day and The Guild - "(Do You Want To Date My) Avatar"

Episode Thirty-Eight -"Second Year Anniversary Show!"

I know, I know, we're late by a week, but that's what happens when you have a two cows drinking margaritas, an orc who won't stop surfing, and we think Zog is sunburned but can't tell.

But we are back for our Second Year Anniversary! And what Anniversary Show would be complete without the entire FTH Radio staff on! Yes, you are once again subjected to a Table Which Is Round episode (you poor people!)

We also have special snippets of our encounters during BlizzCon. Asking how we got those snippets when BlizzCon is going on right now? We have our ways and won't let such simple things as not being invited or actually being there stop us!

Episode Thirty-Seven
"Does This Scorchling Make My Butt Look Big?"

Our big news is that we are on summer hiatus but we'll be back on August 16th for our 2nd Anniversary Show! Before we take off for the summer, we do discuss important things, such as the ever popular Fire Festival! Hear epic, or at least moderately amusing, tales of Auntie Ed attempting to get this holiday achievement and pondering why the holiday pet looks like an orb?

Also hear first hand what really happened last show betweeen Zogofxp and Baby Ghoul.

Big V talks about cow stuff, as he is back on the cow again! Thought you knew Northerend? See it through the eyes of the cow and learn to love it all over again. Or not. Zogofxp is backfrom his community service with his blog and asks a most thoughtprovoking question.And the continuing adventures of "Fishing in theNether" continue! New information revealed,new adventures ensue! ButBaby Ghoul is still having time-out in his room.

Grand Master Z couldn't make this show as he is a crater somewhere outside of Dalaran. Long story, but unfortuantely this has led to a lack of mod reviews for this show.

You may have noticed that "What's Your Show" with Zombiehead did not air. Due to technical difficulties the show could not launch when it was scheduled, but it will be launching soon! We will keep you posted for the rescheduled date!

Also check out Anim5 of the IDDFOS podcast new site "Solid Symbols"! Notice this great casting of Zog's head! Many more cool things for
you to ooooh and aaaaah over (and buy!)

Episode Thirty-Six
"Additional Instances Cannot Be Launched...Bull!"

Guess what this episode talks about? Well, not all of it but we do touch upon that infuriating message which seems to haunt all instances lately and why we feel that all of Blizzard's excuses and explanations are just not cutting it.

Big V has much to tell of his new adventures dabbling with dwarf pallys in pvp. Oh the humanity! (no pun) Grand Master Z has a great new mod to tell you guys about! Definately sounds too good to be true, but it is! Check out the link below!

Zog's Blog and Fishing in the Nether won't be heard in this episode as both Zog and Baby Ghoul are doing community service for wrecking the FTH studio (long story). They will return next show...if they can get along. Instead we are thrilled and pleased to bring to you a spot done by NancyDruid on Dating in Azeroth! Much thanks to NancyDruid for sending it in! It's classic!

Reminder!! "What's Your Show" airing on June 27th at MyGnetRadio.com! Auntie Ed will be joining Zombiehead as well as many other WoW podcasters for a live discussion! Check out our special interview with Zombiehead for information about it. We hope you can come on and listen!

Special Edition - "Interview With A Zombie...Head"

Have we got a special suprise for you! Zombiehead has joined us at FTH Radio for an exciting interview, telling us all about the launch of his new show, "What's Your Show", airing on June 27th at Gamer Network Radio!  

Auntie Ed will be joining many other podcasters on the launch show, for a live (yes, you read correctly, live!) discussion about WoW, games, and podcasting in general.

Episode 35 - "Table Which Is Round Part Deux"

Throwing caution to the winds, once again, the staff of FTH Radio has gotten together for another "Table Which Is Round" episode.

Big V wasn't able to attend, but Anim5 of IDDFOS was gracious enough to step in. And though he does bring intelligent conversation to the discussion, (very unlike FTHR) he didn't moo once!

Some of what you can expect to hear are discussions of how frustrating some achievements can be,the purpose, if any, on grinding, and we may even have some insight as to why Zog is the way he is.

Please note, we have up that explicit tag again! Sometimes there just aren't enough bleeps.

Episode 34 - "Won't Somebody Please Think of the Children!"

So who really wanted that Violet Proto-Drake? You've only worked on it for eight months, completing every holdiay achievement so far. And then came "School of Hard Knocks"and well, we all know how that's going.

However, and perhaps it's a good thing, we don't talk about that too much (the event began after we recorded) but we do recap Noble Gardens and touch upon our predictions for the Children's Week event. Since the event did begin after our post-production work was done, we have included a special dramatization done by Anim5 of the IDDFOS podcast. We think it sums up our feelings about this event and also why FTH Radio will never get invited to BlizzCon.

Big V talks about the latest patchness that has fallen upon WoW and how he can't tell what's changed. But, by his own admission, he has the most untalented Death Knight out there!

Zogofxp shares another of his conniptions with us and expresses his feelings on the respecing of his characters...several times and in several ways! Grand Master Z shares two new mods with us, although one isn't exactly a mod, but he explains all! Pssst, one is a huge help in reloading those mods after one of the many patches overrun the game...again.

And the continuing story...er...continues in "Fishing In The Nether" with special guests this time! Special thanks to Cossori for joining in on the madness! Also the name of Baby Ghoul is revealed! We'll post in our next show notes who is the grand winner of Thunderstep's contest as we don't want to spoil it for you here. (However you'll find out a lot faster if you listen to the show!)

Episode 33
"Mechano-Hog Maddness and Other Embarrassing Tales"

Instead we bring you embarrassing guild moments. Not nearly as exciting but far more fun!

Big V has taken the plunge with his Mage and killed her off only to resurrect her as a Death Knight. Can't believe he actually did it!

Zogofxp is back with tales of his own, all told from his crabby undead point of view. ( Hey, he's Zog). And Grand Master Z not only reviews two great mods to improve your chat view,but also discusses the upcoming change Blizz is putting in with regards to mods.

Fishing in the Nether continues with more mysteries on the true nature of Baby Ghoul (still nameless, at least until the next show)Have a suggestion for the Name Baby Ghoul Contest? Write in to Thunderstep! Baby Ghoul's new name will be revealed in the next show!

Episode 32 - "The Show That Goes Nowhere"

In another exciting episode, we discuss how stupid NPC's are and reveal a bit of spoilage for those who haven't visitedZul'Drak. (Really, we don't revealthat much.) And Cort makes an appearance later on during the emails with a special item that a listener made just for him! Big V goes to honor the biggest baddest raiding guild ever by taking on Stormwind and fishing there! Well, what did you expect? This is Big V we're talking about.

Zogofxp talks about the new duel spec that we're greatly anticipating and other things that set his undead blood boiling (actually, not really since he's undead there's not much blood, but you get the idea) Grand Master Z reveals a mod that maybe causing a bit of a conspiracy. Are you in on it?

And introducing our newest segment, " Fishing In The Nether" by Thunderstep! Also, be sure to enter his "Name Baby Ghoul" contest! Send your entries to thunderstep@charter.net.

Don't check out this link sent in by our listener Vannguard! (We really do thank him!) It involves killing bunnies! It's terrible, it's horrible, it's
gruesome! (not kidding, it really is) But Auntie Ed is "trolling it up" and
posting it here for any who are interested. Just remember, every time you
kill a bunny, a g-nome dings another level!

Thank you very much to all our listeners who wrote in for this episode!! You guys are the best!!

Songs used in this episode:

Pajama Crisis - "What You Don't Want To Hear"
70 Elite Tauren Chieftains - "I Am Murloc"

Episode 31 - " Table Which is Round and Chicken Pot Pies?"

We decided to try a different route this show. We've done away with all of our various segments and instead had all of the FTH Radio staff on for the entire show. We cover everything from table shapes to baby ghouls! Pssst! Note the explicit tag for this show. There's a reason! You've been warned!

We also take this opportunity to introduce Thunderstep, who will be joining the rest of us here at FTH Radio. We have no idea what he'll be doing so for now he's resident towel boy.

We also had Rydiah of the Chaotic Fury Guild join us for another fabulous Guild Talks! Huge thank you to him for taking the time to chat with us! Please contact us if you would also like to do an interview about your guild on our show!

And after a year and a half of doing a show, we finally have a brand New shiny Promo!(All right, so it took awhile.)

Thank you very much to all our listeners who wrote and called in for this episode!!

Songs used in this episode:

King Never - "Desperate"
Jinx - "Always The First To Die"

Episode 30 - " Respect Your Elders...or Else!"

It's the Lunar Festival and Elders abound! You can't miss us. We're the people standing in Orgrimmar yelling at folks to stay off our lawns, talking about how we had to wait until level forty before we got our mount license, and how these young levels today play their music too loud. The title over our heads gives us away too. We also present our first, which we hope is of many, Guild Talks!

Precaution of the Imaginary Vultures Guild joins us and shares some of his deepest guild secrets. All right, not really, but we hope you enjoy and we thank him for taking the time to talk with us!

Big V is back to sounding like himself again and asks the thought provoking question, what does one talk about on a WoW podcast after not being in game for five weeks? And in classic Big V fashion, he comes up with an answer!

Zogofxp shares his PVP tales and also a very important message about a phishing scheme out there. Seriously, beware of this! And Grand Master Z has two excellent mods to talk about, including one especially for Auntie Ed!

Episode 29 - " When Death Knights Cling "

We begin the first show of the new year with important topics, such as the tale of Auntie Ed's clingy Death Knight and the real reason why Arthas fled to Icecrown.

Big V isn't sounding like himself this episode. In fact one could say he sounds like seven different people. But that would be impossible, so we'll just say it's him. Come on, work with me people!

Zogofxp tells of his experiences as his own Death Knight cruises around Outland and reveals his historical involvement in the Wrathgate event! Hear for yourself!

And our fabulous Grand Master Z not only speaks of two great gotta have mods but also called in to do a little venting himself!
