Episode 197 - The sidekicks take over the QC
Dec 14, 2014
Carrying on from last weeks Quackcast inspired by Kawaiidaigakusei's Thoughtful newspost article "An Ode to Sidekicks", this time the DD community weighs in on the subject and they give us their wise, educated and highly considered expert opinions on the subject of the sidekick in stories! Again Kawaii joins Banes and I, but this time she practices her amazing talent for amusing voices, so for the first time since Skoolmunkee there's someone other than Banes and I doing a voice. Rachel Maddow drops in and even Matt Foley to tell us about his VAN down by the RIVER! All in all what people have to say about the different aspects of sidekicks in fiction is really quite interesting, have a listen and see! Oh, and Gunwallace's epic theme for Harkovast is fantastic, I can't wait for a Peter Jackson Movie adaptation!

Kroatz, The Boy Wonder!? I... Guess... I'm... okay with the title, but I do not feel like any of you would want to see me in that skimpy little outfit. There would be a lot of bulging areas, and not one of them in a place that you would like to look at. It's been a while since I listened to the QC, mostly because it's been a while since I actually spent some time on the interwebs, but I have to admit that I missed it, guys. I especially like the addition of theme songs, and wonder how much time Gunwallace spends on creating them every time. I also like that every time someone tries to pronounce 'Kroatz' it sounds completely different. Oz pronounced it as 'Crew-Ts' in this quackcast, then as 'Crowts', and 'Crow-Ats' in an earlier one. I also love how much more interesting Banes makes me every time he does 'my' voice. I don't think anyone is still listening to the words anymore, but that seems appropriate. Keep it up guys!

Thanks EJB, it was fun to do. Kawaii's Rachel Madow is a revelation!
