Hey Ash, Whatcha Podcastin': episode one photo

Two Burch siblings. One crappy microphone. Sixty minutes of rambling, oft-incoherent musings on sexism and gaming. Welcome to the official podcast from the creators and stars of Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin'.

This being the first-ever episode of the Hey Ash, Whatcha Podcast (alternate titles: Hey Ash, Whatcha Podcastin', the HAWPcast, etc), two things are for certain: firstly, that it will be much more awkwardly structured than later episodes, and secondly, that the existence of later episodes isn't really a certainty.

The show's future is pretty much entirely dependent on whether you lot enjoy it or not. Apologies for the horrendous audio and shaky iTunes availability, and all that -- we'll work out the kinks soon enough.

I love HAWP, but this shouldn't have gone out without fixing all the bugs first. I had a really hard time hearing Ash's voice and just kept rewinding it; which got tiresome.

When it worked, it was really enjoyable and Anthony just seemed less abrasive when discussing stuff with his sister than with the guys on Podtoid. It's also nice to hear Ash being herself than her usual whacked out alter-ego too. They got a good rapport going on (well, obviously being siblings and all).

I'm willing to here more, but they should have tried again another time and kept this as some kind of un-aired pilot.

I'll take it. With Podcastle on hiatus, I had a hole in my Destructoid podcast line up. I'll stream it of of Mevio, but I hope to see this on iTunes shortly.

In regard to the "no one talks shit about anyone in the industry"
I might be wearing the Captain Obvious cape. But as it is, the whole industry is based on reputation. A studio will not hire a guy that even just one person has something to say about. It is a mutual understanding between all participants in the industry that you do not want to mess up someones whole career and future.
"AWAY!"

I want to make creepy jokes but don't want to be the first person to do it.

This makes you seem like a likable person though Anthony, it's a good career move. Seriously though, I like it.

Ash is just extremely cute. I don't like podcasts though, but I sure enjoy the Ash Whatcha playin when I see them on GT. Keep making funny videos.

I like listening to the insane ramblings of the Burch children, but Ash needs a better microphone if you guys have another podcast. Otherwise, it was a fun listen.

By the way Anthony, you should play Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga on the GBA. It is one of the funniest games I have ever played, mainly because of Fawful. These are two of his best lines:

"I am the great Cackletta's most best pupil, who is named Fawful! I am here, laughing at you! If you are giving us the chase, just to get your silly princess's voice, then you are idiots of foolishness! Princess Peach's sweet voice will soon be the bread that makes the sandwich of Cackletta's desires! And this battle shall be the delicious mustard on that bread! The mustard of your doom!"

and the best one:

"Your lives that I spit on are now but a caricature of a cartoon drawn by a kid who is stupid!"

they should have dressed better before doing the podcast, they looked terrible and anthony needs a shave, though I really liked ash's hair that way.

Listened to the whole thing while I was working out at the gym. Lemme just say that I had a much better time today than I usually do because of it. (And I burst out laughing during one of my sets which was dangerous to me and all around, but it was well worth it.) Please keep making em. :)

What everyone else said. It's good, but Ash really needs a new mic.

Not bad. Could do with a third person. I'd like to see you cycle the guest between the people who have been on the show so far. Or just give Ash Davis a mic. I'm easy.

Oh, and just in case anyone hasn't mentioned it yet, I think Ash should but a headset. You're getting some feedback from not having a headset, and buying a headset can rectify this problem. Just eff why eye.

Man, Freya was a fox. I think?

I enjoyed the video game related discussion, but I have to say the random stories about Anthony's awkwardness and teenage shenanigans were the highlight of this for me. Find a balance between the two somehow, because one or the other on their own would get boring, and I think we have ourselves a winner.

I gotta be honest Rev. You know I love you. But between Podtoid, Rev Rants, Twitter, and actually episodes of HAWP, I'm all Rev'd out. People dig this, keep this up, I just can't do it.

Anthony gives poor economic advice. If you have money that you're not gonna tap into for a while put it into a CD.

I'm a huge HAWP and Podtoid fan, and I have to say this podcast turned out more interesting than I imagined it would be. Audio hiccups aside (she definitely needs a headset), I would call this a successful first podcast. I think Ash gives a rare feminine perspective into video games. I would like to see a segment in these podcasts (if you continue) that is a point counter-point debate, using strange and obscure topics such as: hamburgers vs. hotdogs or black holes vs. super novas, or some other weird stupid shit like that. Just an idea. Keep up the good work.
