Podcasts about characters welcome

Hello Adventurers! As Valentione's Day has just passed us by, we thought now would be a great time to show some of the characters in Final Fantasy XIV some love. As it just so happens, GPOSERS had kicked off the month with a post on Bluesky that links to a FFXIV character Tiermaker. And thus, after recording for three or so hours… and many… many more hours of editing after the fact, we now present to you The Official Carbuncle Chronicle Character Rankings: From ARR to Endwalker. But also, we talk a little bit about what we are excited for in the upcoming patch of 7.2: Seekers of Eternity.Spoiler Levels: Archon Loaf! Baked with either fish or vegetable flour, this fluffy loaf of rye bread is?from a nutritional standpoint?wholesome indeed. OK, so rather than fish or vegetable flour, this no-less fluffy loaf of a podcast is baked with love (and hate) for the many great (and terrible) NPCs that form the backbone of the MMORPG we all enjoy! So spoilers will, in fact, be aplenty.OSMnotesThank you to GPOSERS for the great idea prompt for the podcast topic! But without further ado, here's that final tier ranking image:But also, Time Cues!

Actual talent on the No Outlet Podcast! In fact, I am going to go out on a sturdy limb and state that tonight's guest is the MOST TALENTED person we have ever had on the show and that is saying something. Our guest has been part of a Broadway production, has been in Movies, TV shows, was the Artistic director of UCB NYC, is the creator and host of “Characters Welcome” an AMAZING YouTube channel, he also is the Founder of the Squirrel Comedy Theatre…I could go on and on, but I think that I have made my point. You will not be surprised (being the improv nerds that we are) to hear that we a huge fans of this guy, and were really excited to have him on the show! We talked about the best Harold Team ever*, the art of Face Calibration (and correlating skill enhancements), the importance of Pippen (not Scottie), a few things we have in common, finally making Karaoke an Olympic event and picking the perfect song, developing a sense of humor with Leslie Nielson, finding the right alchemy when forming world class Improv teams, aggressive (sounding) foreign languages, the age old choice between Alcohol and Caffeine and when not to comment on an extremely overdone cultural moment along with may other super important topics. We had a great time and hope you all enjoyed the conversation as much as we did! Check out Michael in all his endeavors...you can see him perform at the Squirrel Comedy Theatre https://www.thesquirrelnyc.com/ with his Improv team Borabish and, of course, check out Characters Welcome on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/CharactersWelcome.

Brian and Ed welcome to the That Real Blind Tech Show virtual lair  Eric Wickstrom, Director of Audio Production at IDC.   With a career very heavily focused in audio production, we find out when Eric first learned of Audio Description and what he enjoys most about making TV and film accessible to everyone.    We discuss Eric's time at the USA Network along with some of their hit shows like Suits, Burn Notice, Psych, and why the network moved away from its Characters Welcome approach.   We dive in to the F Word on Network TV, and the humorous use of it, and removal of it.    We talk about USA Network and the inception of Audio Description arriving to the network.   We discuss how much influence blind organizations have on Audio Description, and who drives the most change in the business.    We also discuss the cost of adding an AD track, and why it is logical to just do it.   Of course, Netflix comes up and their amazing commitment to Audio Description.   Since we have an expert on the podcast, we find out why one streaming service may have a title with Audio Description but then that same title shows up on another streaming service without Audio Description. We want to know why! We also dive in to the difference between high quality audio description versus subpar audio description.   We talk about some of the challenges describers face when describing for a totally blind audience versus a low vision audience, and the tough calls they need to make.      We then tackle the difficult conversation of Text to Speech automated audio description, and how it affects the industry.   Eric tells us what it is like to work with blind describers, and it is something he is willing to share with his competitors if any of them want to take him up on it.       We wrap up discussing whether or not the Academy may ever recognize Audio Description as a category, as they seem to have an award for everything else.   To keep up with Eric, make sure to follow him on Twitter. To keep up with the Audio Description Training Retreats, you can follow them as well on Twitter.    To contact That Real Blind Tech Show, you can email us at ThatRealBlindTechShow@gmail.com, join our Facebook Group That Real Blind Tech Show, join us on the Twitter @BlindTechShow , or leave us an old school phone message at 929-367-1005.

My guest today is improviser and actor Thomas Whittington (@tommy_chi). For the 20 or so of you who listen to this podcast regularly, you probably listened to my interview with Thomas's wife Jen Spyra. I discovered Thomas on YouTube by watching clips from his character reels. I really loved the darkness and absurdity he brought to his characters. We talk about how he got his start in improv and what it was like working his way through the Chicago comedy scene, then moving back and forth from LA back to Chicago and then finally to New York. He talks about the various characters he worked on in preparation for his Just For Laughs audition, how he approaches doing impressions of famous comedians like John Mulaney and Pete Davidson, and his work in voiceover on Our Cartoon President. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In today's episode, Amanda sits down over some Budweiser beer with stand up comic, sketch artist, improvisor, and TV writer D.J. Mausner (Baroness Von Sketch, Gary and His Demons, This House Has 22 Minutes) to discuss everything comedy, trying to decorate her apartment to convince people that she's human, and boycotting Just For Laughs in protest to how the festival handled reported sexual assault and harassment. She is a current member of the Upright Citizen's Brigade's Characters Welcome cast, and on screen you can see her in HBO's Insecure and CBC's sketch series Tallboyz. In 2019, CBC named DJ one of fifteen Canadian Comedians to Watch, and NOW Magazine has dubbed her one of their Breakthrough Toronto Stage Artists of the Year. She has written for shows like This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Gary and his Demons, and the Baroness Von Sketch Show, which she won a Canadian Screen Award for Best Writing, Variety, or Sketch Comedy.   The Liquid Courage Podcast: insta @liquidcouragepodcast twitter @liquidcpodcast YouTube Video Episodes & more! email podcastliquidcourage@gmail.com   Amanda Pereira: insta @hotcoldspicy / twitter @amanda_pereira D.J.
