The Network- The Scified Podcast

@BigDave

I'm gonna be honest wit ya BigDave, I would listen to one of your podcasts about the Alien franchise.  I would hope I could understand it though, since you claim you may be hard to hear through our American ears (or I guess any other English speaking person), and I guess the low-life, criminally bound Aussie's as well.  IRaptus pretty much summed up my whole look on those Australians down under.  He understands.  I'm glad he does.  

OK, so really now!  No more jokes!  Honestly,  I would at least try to listen to one of your podcasts if you did one because you seem to really know this Alien franchise stuff and all.  It seems you might have a couple books worth of information posted on this website.  If BigDave isn't sharing in on the Podcast, then I'm not going to listen.  That is unless the podcasts are just out of this world in forum members reviews.

Honestly though, if BigDave did host The Network podcasts instead of Chris, then I wouldn't be listening to every single one, but I would like to listen to some of the first BigDave podcasts.  I would assume those would be the best anyways.  They might even get me hooked if they link together somehow.

So, those are my feelings on this podcast idea as of now.  

I Moon Girl I listened to both BD's and IRaptus' references and had no issues understanding. I think the only thing some may not pick up on is the dry wit. 

I Moon Girl if us Aussies were in Alien films we would be the lovable comedy-relief larrikins that everyone roots for and survives till the end. Like Tennessee, or Vriess.  XD

IRaptus Maybe it should be a musical next time- accents seem to disappear in song somehow.

lol Yeah I don't know how that works... but you're right accents do disappear in song.

Musical podcasts it is. We just need someone to play the flute......

Nah- leave the accents in- they sound great. Where I live, we don't seem to have an accent but I am told we talk fast. 

I Moon Girl With the exception of what BD posted-accents are present but understandable, in many ways they seem to disappear in music. Here is an example of an Australian band who have a fairly thick accent in spoken word but that goes away when singing. BTW- you might get some chuckles out of this too!

surely guys, regardless of however  job Blomkamp may do it is paramount that the prequel series must be finished. or it will be nothing more than a waste of time. i put 100s and 100s of hours on the Engineers please wrap this up and put me out my misery before we go again 

@I Moon Girl

Thanks x, yeah i would be interested in doing some and not to worry i can speak Perfectly Good Normal English, only a bit of Black Country comes across when i speak, but the older folk have very strong Black Country Accents, and yep i think even People in some places in England would find it hard to understand due to how some words are pronounced...  Like Horse, is pronounced Hoss or Oss,  Hand is Hond or Ond but there are some others that are commonly used even by younger generations, such as Can't is Cor, You is Yow, Haven't is ay

Seems there is demand for BigDave to join The Network. If you are interested BD contact me via pm and we can discuss it further...
