MCP SU04 – Parsec Retrospective with Sara Lloyd
Posted by Raven on 17 Sep 2009 | Tagged as: Announcements, Danni, Just For Fun
The lovely and talented Sara Lloyd (voice of Danni Sharabi) was here at Metamor Studios when word reached us that MAKING THE CUT had won the 2009 Parsec Award for Best Speculative Fiction Audio Drama (Long Form). Given the great news, we just had to hop on the mics together and talk about the show and Sara’s experiences with it.
WARNING: We recorded this after midnight. Much giggling ensues.
Huge thanks to Paulette Jaxton for editing this for us!

Feed troubles
Posted by Raven on 15 Apr 2009 | Tagged as: Announcements
Hello Metamorphs!
Chris here. For the last couple of months I’ve been receiving repeated emails from my loyal listeners about problems with the RSS feed for Metamor City. Episodes failed to download, or stopped in the middle, or only downloaded after many, many retries. Clearly something was wrong, yet my hosting service insisted that everything was working fine on their end.
Now I believe we have found the culprit. The problems appeared shortly after Google bought out Feedburner and compelled me to transfer the feed over to my Google account. Apparently Google has been redirecting the feed to their own archived copies of the show, which has been … less than efficient. I can’t imagine why such a change was made without informing us, the users, much less without giving us a way to opt out of it. I have tested the original, native RSS feed (http://www.metamorcity.com/?feed=podcast) and found that it functions normally; only the Feedburner feed was suffering from the timeout errors.
To make a long story short, I have deleted the Feedburner feed and redirected its traffic back to the original feed. iTunes has been notified of the change and should make the changeover seamlessly for most, if not all, subscribers. While I am sad to lose Feedburner’s stat-tracking abilities, it is a small price to restore the confidence of my listeners and ensure higher-quality service for all of you.
If you have been inconvenienced by the recent feed troubles, I sincerely apologize, and I thank you for sticking with me. Special thanks to all of you who have made the effort to notify me about your problems in downloading the episodes. Hopefully this will fix the situation, but if it doesn’t, please let me know.
Keep it on the bright side,
Chris

We are experiencing technical difficulties
Posted by Raven on 07 Mar 2009 | Tagged as: Announcements
As I worked on putting the audio together for tonight’s episode, I discovered that the narration was badly degraded by a line noise problem, probably caused by our clothes dryer running while I was recording. Unfortunately, this means that the narration is going to have to be re-recorded from scratch.
I apologize to everyone for the delay, but MCP037 is going to have to be pushed back to next week. In the meantime, I’m going to try to get the last part of the feedback show done tonight. Thank you all for your patience.
Keep it on the bright side,
Chris

Voicemail troubles
Posted by Raven on 16 Nov 2008 | Tagged as: Announcements
Our K7 voicemail line was shut down due to inactivity, so we’ve had to get a new one. Please send your voicemails to 206-203-0994 from now on. If you’ve sent me a voicemail in the last two months and you haven’t heard it played on the podcast, please re-send it, because it probably went to whoever’s using that voicemail line now.
I have changed all of the show notes on page 1 of the blog to show the correct voicemail number. I’m not going to go back and change the audio, though, as that would be a tremendous amount of work for relatively little benefit. Hopefully those who care enough about the show to call in will also visit the blog and see this message. 
Bonus: New Cover Art!
