PointOfViewWeekly

Recorded 8/9/16

Jo Rowling released a new book, so Poufwa gathered together to discuss it. In this podcast you will hear our thoughts on the new story, Ryan’s ramblings when left alone and what happens when Sue has too much root-beer. Danielle is back, Melinda joins in as a guest host and Bob and Scott round out the group. There will be spoilers for The Cursed Child, you have been warned. Sit back and enjoy.

Greetings Pouvwanians, and welcome to the first of at least 2 (and knowing us, probably more like 3-5) special editions featuring Dungeons and Dragons.

In this episode, Sue, Colin, Bob, and Amy get together to create characters, meet up in a tavern, and discover something going on in the woods north of town.

Also in this episode: Bob’s character really wants to get drunk; Colin’s character likes to pay for things (sort of); Sue and Scott’s accents wander all over the place; and Amy hides in the shadows, either because she’s a rogue or to stay away from the crazy. Possibly both.

Sue and Danielle return tonight to help the manly-men of last episode. We are trying something new with Bob on the Live-Cam, he swears he’s wearing pants. The night begins with a Ilvermorny discussion and finding out our American houses. Danielle gets resorted into Hogwarts with surprising results. Then we move on to Ryan’s favorite topic as the DNC gets underway. Along the way Scott calls BS on Ryan.

Look for Poufwa Plays DnD coming soon.

In tonight’s manly-men episode (with the exception of Deirdre from Maryland), Sue is literally wandering aimlessly in the woods. We discuss Pokémon and Donald Trump as the second evening of the RNC goes on in the background.

This is the most political episode of Poufwa since the episode where we tried to explain the Rick Perry/Kay Bailey Hutchinson Texas gubernatorial matchup to Jen Classic using sock puppets.

If you are a Donald Trump supporter, just remember all the reasons you loved us before hitting download.

I feel we should give background noise ratings for podcasts, inspired by those Smokey Bear fire warnings. This one is largely unedited from the live feed, and Bob randomly beeps from time to time.

Happy listening!

Danielle is on baby patrol or maybe just catching up on her sleep in this episode. Ryan has an encounter with the UPS man and if you are a frequent listener, you know how those go. Sue threatens her internet company while Bob tries to kill Lonely Riddle. And Scott just sits back and basks in his mapleness. Star Trek fan films are on the line as some go a lot overboard and draw too much attention to themselves. The good news is the podcasts are not under the new guidelines so Sue and Ryan’s favorite podcast will be returning. We all appreciate Jo all the more for allowing fan fiction and the fandom their freedom.

Happy 4th of July

Stay safe

Enjoy!!

WARNING: This episode may be depressing.  Tonight we gather together, after almost a month, to console Sue after a terrible weekend.  It’s the night of the CA primary, so you know we Ryan had to talk about that.  The topic for the evening is The Martian, so we talk about everything but the book. Bob has a new idea for the podcast, you will find the link he talks about here. Keep track of your numbers, so you can be added to the house you where you belong.  In spite everything, we hope you enjoy today’s episode.

Sue and Scott are AWOL for this episode and Jen2 was having a bad week, so she’s guest hosting. Prepare to be grossed out and itchy as you listen to this episode. Jen’s having a bad bug filled week and so is Bob, just in different states. Ryan and Danielle are just working on little to no sleep. We start out in true POV fashion, with Ryan not able to get Bob and Jen on the same line, yes it’s going to be one of those nights. Sit back, enjoy and scratch to your hearts content as we bring you, “Have a Lice Day.”

Enjoy the episode.

Baby Ella went to bed early, so we decided to podcast. Bob is feeling a little better, but is missing his podcasting voice.  Scott got lost on his way to the recording studio and Sue went to the moon. Ryan and Danielle have turned into Jen. Our plan for the night was to discuss the new trailer for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Homework for the next episode is to read The Martian. No watching the movie doesn’t count.  

Enjoy the episode.

Ryan and Danielle are being held hostage by their non sleeping daughter, so we recruit Lady Chi for tonight’s podcast.  It’s our plan to talk about Arrow and The Flash, but as with most Poufwa plans we get “slightly off topic” and talk – weddings.  We do get some Arrow, The Flash and other show discussion in at the end.  Join us as we belatedly wish Bob “Happy Birthday”.  It’s fun having Chi back, she doesn’t order Chinese food, but there is some cooking going on in the background.  We also talk Cons and here is a link to the poster Chi talks about.

We hope you enjoy the show.

Tune in tonight to find out who Danielle will “Marry, Bang, Kill.” We also find out how John Barrowman answers that same question. Danielle is having a tired night, as Ella has had her shots and is protesting them by not letting herself be put down. Sue’s new router isn’t going to do what she thinks it’s going to do and Bob tells us what “creeps him out.” Sue and Scott recap some of the fun they had at Portland’s Wizard Con.

In the background the POV cast attempts to burn down the place again, this time using leaking water to spark things up. April provides them with new digs, but they don’t want to move. Finally Bob finds the magic button and everyone rushes to the showers, except Ryan, who rushes for COFFEE! There may be some reality to our Sims. Thanks so much April for our new house.

We hope you enjoy the show.
