The audio is a little worn, as electronic files get...when not re-saved over time, but they still sound pretty good.

This show "Rappin' it Up" was my 14 yer old daughters idea. She gets all the credit here, and it was a brilliant idea: interview the comic book characters from WantedHero.com. She knew that kids loved shows from other kids and she was spot on...the very next morning, less than 12 hours later, we had fan mail and she was an instant hit.

Unfortunately we only made two of these shows--which was an intense process for me personally, trying to be all the voices to meet my daughters questions. So I'd like to share a piece of our podcasting journey with you from 2005.

Enjoy!

Today I'm bringing you the second show I did with my oldest daughter in 2005 called 'Rappin' it Up' with Ditto and Cosmo, which was based on my original comic book series.

Listening to this brought back memories of working at home, doing hundreds of takes to get the show right and also reminded me that working with youth isn't always easy...but always worth it.

Today's show has another custom commercial and then at the end of this episode, bloopers were included from the whole process. It was a fantastic experience for all of us and I hope this will show you the kind of fun we hope to bring to you through this new podcast series.

This is why most gnomes have an office away from home.

*sigh*

As our comics became more popular, the staff wanted to do a comparison in public, to see what the population in Clockworks City truly thought.

So we set up a test, out on a busy street, and asked citizens to participate.

We were delighted by the overwhelming results in favor of Wanted Hero.

When we sat down with our gnome staff, we wanted to come up with a unique way of telling people about the eComics.

...then someone mentioned they had a pet gator, named Pookie.

Howard was suffering from severe anxiety and depression, which nearly killed him.

Luckily his loving wife got Howard to the doctor in time.

We used to work with a brilliant gnome scientist, a Dr. Deborah Harper, who wanted to warn parents about how they can help their children avoid some of life's rougher circumstances.

• Ridicule
• Peer pressure
• Being eaten by Trolls.

This is the studio session we did with Dr. Harper...which saved thousands of gnome lives.

This was not what I was expecting for my first interview, but here it is.

During my personal tour of H1-C-FIN101 (a.k.a. PINWHEEL), armed with my cheap portable recorder, I was shoved into a decontamination chamber to avoid being assimilated by a walking, human-sized fungal parasite, chasing Finley and I. 

Under the hum of the air ventilation systems, I try to ask what questions I can think of. I was actually here to talk with Finley about the classifications of dragons he'd discovered--but sometimes you just get what you get when in the field and doing things live.
