Hello, first post here.

I felt compelled to register and post by your latest show - most particualarly, by the new promo.
Brilliantly executed, and saying JUST what so many Browncoats want to say.

I've listened to all the eps of the Signal now, but, as I was late starting, it has taken me a while to catch up and actually be listening to the latest show soon after release.

I've enjoyed them all, and have them saved for re-listening. As a UK Browncoat, I appreciate the international flavour of the material - thank you for remembering those of us outside the USA!
The quality of the material in The Signal is astoundingly high for an amateur production, and each show has the right mix of material and segment lengths to sustain interest.

So - I want to thank you for the Signal, and my family should also thank you. Because, I put on my cordless headphones and listen while doing housework. I finish the job I am doing, but the show is still continuing, still interesting - so I look around for another job to do to occupy my hands while listening. Thus, more cleaning and tidying gets done - thanks to The Signal!

Anyway - I didn't mean to write an essay - just to thank all involved for all the episodes, and congratulate you on the new promo. The position in the Podcasting Hall of Fame is well deserved.

I vote for "Petaline" as Les's kitten's name. As Kari pointed out, a kiss-ass cat needs a kick-ass name. Where I disagree with Kari is that I think Petaline is a kick-ass name.

Hi guys,

I totally love your show, have been a listener from your first show.

Thanks for the Bedlam Bards interview, I had the pleasure of meeting them during the Washington Rennaisance Fantasy Fair and Cedric played some tunes for me. Awesome to hear the recorded versions, can't wait to get my hands on the cd!

Congrats to the new kitten, she sounds soooooooooooooooo cute! I love cats too but can't have one myself. Anyway, my suggestion for her name would be YoSafBridg as her character is catlike to me.

Just my 2 cents

Bea

The Signal's a podcast
that we all adore.
We listen with much anticipation
for more.
Les got him a kitten and waits for a name,
I think that it's obvious,
that kittie's named---Jaaaaayne!

River: "Jayne is a girl's name."
Jayne: "Well, Jayne ain't a girl!"

(Anyone know what the Chinese word for "cat" would be?)

If this is a double post, much apologies. I'm at work.

You have to name the cat kaylee if it's a girl or jayne if it a boy. or mal(thinking about ja(y)ne could be boy or girl).

Well there are many names you can choose from. Of course there are the names of all the crew but how about the following:

YoSafBridge
Bonnet (I swear by my pretty floral bonnet I will end you...)
Pax

names for the cat
* Zoe.
* Zoe. (Really. Has anyone mentioned this name yet? I see this cat, well all cats really, as being warriors or hunters, so Zoe is a natural choice.)
* Saffron / Yolanda / Bridget etc (The advantage here, is the cat will actually have a set or family of names rather than just one specific one)
* Female Reaver #2 (I made this name up. It fits with the warrior thing, well sort of.)

non-Serenity-Firefly names for the cat
* Miss Kitty Fantastico a la Tara and Willow's kitty in BtVS
* Kuroneko-sama a la the re-occuring mystery cat in Trigun
* Frankenstein a la Lister's cat in Red Dwarf
* Spot a la Data's cat in Star Trek: Next Gen

props for the episode
This episode was so cool. I like the interlacing of the interview and all the other bits. I also really, really liked the promo for The Signal season 2. You guys are beginning to get frighteningly good. Smile

EDIT: Of course this make it seem as if I'm saying that you weren't good before, which is not the case. You guys have been incredibly, really good for a long time. You just keep getting better and better.

I like Petaline. It sounds a bit feline and I'm always a fan of the subtle choice. Never use anything as obvious as Kaylee or Zoe. Especially not Zoe because it's really hard to figure out how to put that proper accent over the "e" when typing. I mean, does anyone know off the top of their head how to get that to show up?

BTW, first post for me!

The following was originally sent as an e-mail, but I feel compelled to share with everyone. Enjoy!

****
Petaline is a fine name, and as someone has already pointed out on the forum, it is indeed the name of an ass-kicker. But have you considered a name that will mesh better with the more, shall we say, feline aspects of her personality?

Reaver. This cat's name is Reaver. Notice the one black ear and the one orange ear. Notice the flash of orange above the right eye blending into the the streak down the right half of the bridge of the nose. Notice also the Attitude visible in the eyes. The "How dare you interrupt me when I'm about to scratch be hind my ear" look she's giving the wielder of the camera. And those claws - very sharp. I bet the teeth are fearsome, too. Yes, this little bundle of feline atrociousness is Reaver.

Of course, I may be heavily biased. I play roller derby under the name The Gorram Reaver (#03-K64).

I just got an update from the Bedlam Bards. The Browncoat section of their website is now online. It includes background info about the album, cover art (by Oklahoma BedHead Josh Horner), links to our MP3-postcards, links to the short clips that were used on the Podcast, links to the lyrics, and even a karaoke version of "Hero of Canton." You can find all this and more at:

http://www.bedlambards.com/Browncoats.html

Cedric also asked me to to mention that the current news on the album is that it will be available mid-January. Too late for a Christmas gift, but well worth the wait.

I agree with Kari that this looks like one "kick butt little kitty". That would make Zoe a good name in theory but I don't think the name fits.
Have you considered Shiung-tsan sha-sho or some shortening of this awesome chinese phrase I learned from your podcast, meaning of course, ass kicking killer. Maybe just Sha-sho. Sounds like a cute soft kitty name but with bite Wink

Well thats my vote.
Keep up the great podcast!

Loved the latest podcast and that is one cute kitty! I don't think she looks like a Petaline though because that is a pretty name that befits a gentle cat. While I don't know that Reaver is quite right - I think that is certainly heading in the right direction!
