Next Time on The Magic of Eyri (01.06.10): Packing It In Note the date! There will not be any episodes released in December.  I’m taking the month “off” to build up a stockpile of episodes.  Even though I won’t be releasing episodes, I will still be working on them. Make sure to come back in January.

Ramblings: Yes, it is true: I’m not releasing any episodes in December.  This is to give myself a bit of a break and to help create some breathing room between working on episodes.  Plus, I know I’ll be busy because of the holidays and not having to worry about releasing episodes on top of everything will be nice. This was a bittersweet episode to make, as it means the last time a couple of characters will appear.

-The Magic of Eyri Podcast is best experienced with headphones-

I decided last night that I’m going to release the next podcast episode on Wednesday (11.11.09).  A friend who specializes in Internet marketing, etc. told me that the best days for Web traffic are Tuesday through Thursday.  Makes sense.

I’m curious to see if releasing an episode in the middle of the week will make much of a difference in my own traffic.  Considering I only release stuff every other week, this is probably a good idea–as not too many people check websites on Sundays.

This also gives me the whole weekend to finish an episode if I don’t have it done in time.  Come back on Wednesday!

In writing news, I am now the Lansing Restaurant Examiner for Examiner.com.  I do reviews of restaurants around town.  I’m enjoying it so far.  I also started doing a weekly fantasy hockey column for IllegalCurve.com.

That’s right gang, Steve, our relucant teenage hero of the podcast, now has his own Twitter account (@steveharrier).  I’ll post more than just the latest episodes there, as I plan to do tweets that go along with the store…and yes, they’ll continue even after Steve ‘arrives’ in Eyri…despite there being no cell phone service.

I see it as a fun way to expand the Magic of Eyri universe a bit.  Can’t promise frequent updates, but you never know.  I have my own account (@danieljhogan) that I update a few times a day however, and it appears in the side bar of the website (and my personal website).

I may do a page here with Steve’s Twitter updates.

Speaking of page updates, I updated the Cast page — and I’m pleased as punch to announce Robin Hudson (of Angel Between the Lines and other podcasts) as our newest cast member.  Robin will be providing the voice of Eira the pelican, starting with Episode 010, “Are You a Pelican or a Pelican’t.”
