Size Matters

At least we put this tangent in its own episode..

If there's one thing we can say, it's that we give our audience what they want...

Okay, when we really sit down and get talkin'... well, we didn't get much more done than in the "short" one, now did we? Maybe you guys have a point...

The Three Macramigos return and are here to talk to you about the Short Stories and Tall Tales Writers Group, as well as MACROS (and micros) IN SPAAAACE! For those of you who don't quite get that, it's a reference to the Muppet Show. For those of you who don't know what a Muppet is, it's a mix between a mop and a puppet that people used to think were funny for reasons beyond my comprehension. Anywho... PODCAST START!

After ten weeks and a non-stop flood of emails, we decided that the only way we can stop the outpouring was to invite its source, Dragonien Hitsune, to be the third co-host of the podcast. During this mini-episode, we talk about... well, what DON'T we talk about? Ummm... Apartheid... Sandwiches... The Hagia Sophia... okay, this list actually would be pretty long. Just... listen and find out.

No, we haven't disappeared! We've been here all along, just under your footpaw! Can't blame a panda or a cheetah for trying life as ultra-mini-micros for a while now, can you? Well, the good news is, now we're back to where the audio recording equipment can pick up the sounds of our voices, and we're joined by Freder this week to talk about the new macro/micro-themed magazine Loom that he's put together, as well as have a discussion about macro and micro ergonomics. And don't worry, Size Matters will always be with you... in your heart. Because we've shrunk down, invaded your blood stream, and are taking a tour!

We answer mail from Episode 7, preview Episode 8 featuring special guest Freder, and then as a bonus, hear a reading of the short story "My Mistake" by Kwandry.

Back to school time! Make sure your backpack is in good shape, get a few new Trapper Keepers, and, oh yeah, make room in the hallways for massive panda and cheetah paws coming through, because Kenson and Kwandry are going to discuss the concept of macros in school.

With the coming of fall, Size Matters is switching to a biweekly format. Listen to this little clip to find out why. As a bonus, we've included a reading of "Impact" by Sylvan Scott, the story that was written about Kenson that we mentioned in Episode 4. Next week, we'll be talking about macros and micros in school. Send us your questions and ideas now at [email protected]! See ya then!

This week, Kwandry and Kenson connect up with Singapore MacroFur Jayne Folest, who joins us to talk about the Japanese television genre known as "Special Effects" shows, and the sizable amount of macro content within them. Each of us then goes into a little more detail involving our characters and how we chose our species and design. There's only one podcast and so many macro and micro fans out there who want some, so grab your episode now, before it's too late!
