[Crackers DO Matter]

You just keep getting better and better !!!!

The Tralk talk segments are a riot !!!!

I really like the Zhaan review, I like how Janis looked at Zhaan compared to plants & like how it was in her own voice !!!

But I was really shocked the Kermit had not heard about the future muppet movie, I hope they get in touch with him soon, it just wouldn't be a muppet movie without him.

Keep up the GREAT work !!!!

I really liked the Zhaan article. It was great!

[BenMech]

typically fine episode, especially the Harvey and Zhaan articles.

Question about Tralk Talk - have we exhausted the vocabulary lessons, or are they on hold while the Scapecast crew channels its own soap opera?

[AmméLeep]

Really liked the Harvey article -- and the title, "White Rabbit," was an inspired choice!  Plus, using Jefferson Airplane's song, along with Zhaan's music lead-in, made the show a wonderful 1960s musical extravaganza!

  I really enjoyed this episode . . . Really.  Usually I am not such a fan of listening to the Tralk Talk . .But lately, ( as in the last two or three episodes of " ScapeCast " )  I find myself enjoying because of this new character  , Apo ( or Abo ? ) . . I keep trying to figure out who is doing the voice . Is it a new member of the crew ?  Anyway, I just wanted to comment how I like the character , Apo  ( or Abo ? ) funny guy ! . . I hope they can keep him on . I mean as a regular character .
But the complete episode of ScapeCast was thoroughly enjoyable , because along with the Tralk Talk, I enjoyed the " Harvey " character review. And the article on Zhaan. It caused me to learn somethings about Zhaan and plants. . Perhaps they will have Zhaan in the future ? In the webisodes. . . One can only hope , yes ?
And as I always enjoy the " Shooting from the hip " . So I enjoyed to listen to that . . So all in all , I really , thoroughly enjoyed listening to this episode ( of  " ScapeCast "  ). . Great work, folks ! Keep it up !

Question about Tralk Talk - have we exhausted the vocabulary lessons, or are they on hold while the Scapecast crew channels its own soap opera?

We've been doing this "soap opera" (as you put it) for about a year now, Ben.    It's the same storyline that started way back when as Mr. Hoople got a chip implanted in his head by the Kalish Chef.  Remember?

And no, we're not out of words.  At the end of the episode, Apoo told you what the word of the episode was.

Not a new crew member, but a new voice for the cast who does that character, yes.  That's Alan Rae, who may or may not be related to Lindy Rae.    We've had a few folks come in from time to time to do other Tralk Talk characters, such as one of the two DRDs in the DRD skit.

Thanks,  BenMech, Amméleep, and Danny! I'm glad you enjoyed the Harvey article. I can't take credit for the title, though. Nicola picked that one and it sure fits Harvey well. 

[lindyrae]

Yes, I can confirm that Alan Rae is my teenaged son.  He IS very goofy

You can hear some of that (and his own voice) in the blooper from this latest episode.  For those unfamiliar, if you wait after the credits at the end, we always play a blooper from the recording. 

[Nicola Wood]

Thanks,  BenMech, Amméleep, and Danny! I'm glad you enjoyed the Harvey article. I can't take credit for the title, though. Nicola picked that one and it sure fits Harvey well. 

Brent picked the music for that episode - and the title just seemed a natural fit after that. 

[Danny Grazer]

Yes, I can confirm that Alan Rae is my teenaged son.  He IS very goofy
 

Would you , please, let him know , I say "  a very hearty welcome "  to him .  I , thoroughly enjoy that he has such a talent, . . such a skill to possess and provide for us fans of " Farscape " and " ScapeCast " . .    I look forward to hearing more of him, . . . as well , as the rest of the others. . . I think I will be paying more attention to the " Tralk Talk " now, as well as the rest of the show .

Brilliant episode! I especially loved the fresh look at Zhaan. I often imagined that how Zhaan could be similar but different to the flora here on Earth. Although, when I first heard that Zhaan was a plant, my jaw was practically on the floor. When my friend Robert saw the look on my face, he told me he had a similar reaction to the news. I also thought the song for the Zhaan article was highly appropriate for her. I also liked the title of the Harvey review. A very appropriate title for Crichton's "inmaginary rabbit"... lol I look forward to the next episode, and I may try my hand (and voice) at making a ScapeCast promo. Good luck with the next one!

[BenMech]

Cheers to the Rae family's vocal talents (well, maybe not vocal musically

Brent - I guess I've been too swept up in the VERY well-written storyline to realize the vocab lessons are still going on.
Mind editing the show notes of past episodes to highlight the new terms?

But that would spoil the surprise inside...
