Animorphs: The Radio Drama, Uncensored

Many of you are probably wondering why we have a lot of gray-ed out episodes off to the right. And frankly you are right to wonder. So, I feel it is high time I explained the situation to the fans via a friendly post :)

First: The original triumvirate had a few episodes that went missing in the confusion of skateboarding back and forth across campus, doing the show, racing back to stop recording, darting over to the COVE for their post-production pow-wow, and finally cutting and pasting the audio into the appropriate location to await final editing and postage. So there are a few scattered episodes throughout the early season that have sadly been lost in technical void between wires and mouse-clicks.

Second: The Lost Season of Lostitude (Season 5). This was the season after CJ and myself graduated. Matthew record all (or most) of their episodes and kept them safely on the the KDUP computer in the studio. Unfortunately, Jason and Matt for got to pull the episodes off the computer when Matthew was in the middle of graduating and the University, in all of its infinite wisdom, closed Matts account as soon as they passed him his Diploma and shook his hand. Jason and the guys in the studio have been working with the campus IT people to reclaim the episodes from the clutches of security firewalls and protocol, but my hopes have been gradually diminishing.

Third: The newest episodes. The guys in the studio now-a-days had a rocky start with their recording techniques. I blame myself partly, and CJ for the rest of it, since I started off the season recording their shows and posting them when they were finished. My stream however proved to be finicky and I stopped, so the guys had to record on their own, all of a sudden like and missed a few episodes. I do, however, currently have the episodes that have been recorded and am doing some tweaking to them in order to even out the peaks and valleys in the waveform and compress them to reasonable MP3 size. The only thing keeping me from finishing them is my computer...which has decided to choose NOW to start giving me trouble. I swear things start to breakdown as SOON as I need them to cooperate.

Anyways that is the scoop. If Jason, Steven and Kyle can't pull the 5th Season off the computer, we may be trying to sneak into KDUP to do some re-recording over spring break, but no promises yet. The new episodes will start getting posted tonight hopefully, but with my computer eating itself from the inside out, it may be slow going getting all of them up.

Thanks for your patience, and as SOON as we are caught up I will send word through the Facebook site, the Fan Page, and put a posting on the website.

INSTALLMENT 1:

Now before you all get excited about the first Helmacron book, I have to tell you...I think this one was destined for failure. While not my favorite books, the Helmacron's are not without their own special entertainment factor, so the guys had some great ideas, but the studio would have NONE of that. For some reason KDUPs stream cut out toward the beginning of this episode and I fear that it has been lost. But at least we got to do the Helmacron's voices a little bit before the rest of the show was lost to the void (props to Jason on the vocal choice).

INSTALLMENT 2:

Yeah, I am pissed too. This episode was awesome. Now it is gone. the recording didn't work on my end OR their end and the whole show went up in a puff of smoke.
Like I said - Destined for failure.

INSTALLMENT 3:

THIS one was alright! The recording worked, the levels were semi okay and the book got finished on time (not that you have heard the rest of it), but a relatively good show. Buuut, I screwed up and forgot to show up for the last installment. Jason was none-too-pleased. Yet in comparison to the rest of the failures on this book, I would say this ranks about a 4. Ah well, enjoy this one at least. We'll see what we can do with the other 2.

The Attack. Hands down one of my favorite books. I mean....Jake...Tiger.....crazy lookin' alien on dee inside cover....how can you go wrong.
I was extremely disappointed in myself for not barging into the studio and demanding that I be given a seat to read from. But. Alas. Work.

Anyways, the boys in the booth rocked it fine. The news about the re-release of the Animorphs series...and btw - HA! I posted before 2013! HA!

*spoiler alert*
Howlers are freakin' awesome! And I am afraid I disagree with the pronunciation of Crayak. I prefer Cray (like gray) Ack (like you're screaming...without out the loudness...more like your reading it out of a comic book....or jus-)

INSTALLMENT 2:

Aftermath of a battle always seems like the best place to come back into a book. Matrix humor, Alice in Wonderland reference, Pirates of the Caribbean, Iskoorts, Babylon 5, PSAs, ETC.

INSTALLMENT 1:

Jeez...talk about screwin' up the levels. Sorry bout that folks, i guess just turn down your speakers in order to save them. The aux volume, Steven, and myself were way over-powered while the other Kyle's were semi-normal level.

This is a three Kyle episode with myself current DJ Kyle, and Outback Kyle (or time-traveling Kyle, or Kyle that has been basically a fourth DJ) in commemoration of Outback Kyle going to Australia. Jason, apparently, was not allowed to talk because we had 5 DJs in the studio which, gets a little crowded. THIS is the cow book (which is why they brought me in), quite excitingly experimental....heh-heh.

INSTALLMENT 2:

Wow.....I thought the first installments levels were off....sheesh (sound of squeaking finger in ear) man!

I highly recommend keeping your volume turned down on this one....I did all i could to get it under control. Honest. And it is actually better. Which should give you an idea of what my experience was when I turned it on at home......what was that? I can't hear you because MY EARS ARE BLEEDING

Besides the levels being off, this was actually an awesome show. and the levels screw up only puts emphasis on the new phrase, "Noun your face!"

Try to enjoy :)

INSTALLMENT 3:

My favorite part of the book...the slaughter house. I know, I know. I am a terrible person. But, in my defense: I have been dodging cows, burgers, cream cheese, blue cheese, cheese cheese, cheeze-wiz, cheez-its, milk, beef, jerky, jerks, Ice-cream, creamer, pies, cakes, and everything else that has even the slightest TAINT of cow in it for my ENTIRE life! So, I am sorry if my relishing in a couple of cows collecting their come-uppance offends anyone. In hind sight, i think my attempt to defend myself on the air and justify my feelings was actually the most disturbing...

This concludes The Experiment. And no, I could not cut off Jason's mic before he started in on a cow pun-frenzy...sorry for that as well.

Sorry for the inconvenience...but we are experiencing some minor difficulties due to some extremely minute miscalculations in our extravagantly simple recording process which has left us missing this episode with a small amount of confusion. To be brief I will just say that we are doing everything within our limited power to attempt to locate this lost recording among the few friends that we have and will be uploading it in the semi-near future. Thank you for your patience and I hope you have a wonderful day.

INSTALLMENT 2:

Second to last episode of the season.......AH! That means we actually have to try. Gosh I hope this works. Um....please be patient with us. We are pretty flustered over the upcoming ending so we may be a little distracted, but do try to enjoy our rambling. The book isn't bad either.

INSTALLMENT 3:

Aaaaand Done!

This is the final installment of the third season and it is not a bad one if I do say so myself. Had a couple of guests on had a couple of laughs and reminisced a lot. This is a good one to end on and I am sad to leave, but life goes on and so should I...

Peace Out y'all
DJ Kyle....Signing off.

Coming soon...don't worry.

*CJ where is that episode I thought I told you to--*

Oh! heh, forgot to turn this thing off....hold please -- *click*

INSTALLMENT 1:

Let's set it off right, with a Marco book. Nothing says "hold on to your butts" like Samuel L. Jackson in Jurassic Park, and no one starts an epic trilogy like Marco. But, before we turn it over to the man of insanity, we have to recap all the books we skipped to get here. But, once that is done, then we set it off right!

Hurray! One down several more to go! Keep it up! Your doing good! Additional supportive comment!

Blue Box. Bird Morphs. David. Traffic Cone Hands. Need I say more.

"I've gotta bad feeling about this" basically sums up what this episode has to offer. Enter if you dare dudes and dudettes.

Go get 'em Jake (although I don't understand why she went Homer on the front...you'll see).

I take one of my last comments back. This is the book where the ish hits the fan.

I am not even going to bother introducing this one, I will just detract from the shear awesomeness of the episode. Enjoy, and please don't hurt me for the cliff hanger.

INSTALLMENT 1:

Okay....don't freak out....but this is that third and final book in the trilogy! A Rachel book. And frankly, a book MADE for Rachel. A book perfectly designed to reveal her crazy side. A book meant to make you think, "whoa!....that....was....AWESOME!" A book which Animorphs: The Radio Drama, Uncensored is bringing you with all the excitement that they feel it deserves and more. Sit back and attempt to relax (but don't get too comfortable).
Don't forget your seat belt.

I give you....Installment 1

Enjoy.

Gah! I hate David! Fortunately, that is what they were aiming for with his character, so I wont hold it against the author. I hope you followed my advice about the seat belt thing, because I was serious (or at least more serious than usual). This Installment is epic, to say the least. Weapons of mass destruction, thunder, lightning, near drownings, and guns...did I mention epic?

INSTALLMENT 3:

HOLY CARP (In the words of DJ Jason)!!!

Get read for a dog fight, in the water, at night, in a storm, with music, and a tangent or two. Not to mention the fabulous conclusion to the whole David Debacle, the David Disaster, or any other alliterative duo that could be used to describe the devastation developed by David and the every epic fiasco that followed the guys in the group (not to mention the gals) having had to induct the indomitable jerk....I'll stop there.

This is the final installment, of the final book in the David Trilogy. Get ready for the finale, cus its pretty darn good.

Peace.
