Yes! Due to unpopular demand, The Podcastle is bringing back another attempt at a live show, now with extra gadgetry. We are going to go live with the show officially at 6pm Brit Time (roughly 1PM EST) and if you want to listen in, all you have to do is click this link:

THE PODCASTLE LIVE II

The show will officially start at 6pm. So just enjoy the noise/music/tears of lost souls that play until then. For further details on how YOU can be involved in the show, please hit the jump for Wardrox' Podcastle Live guide!

How to get involved, as stolen from Wardrox:

As you will be well aware from listening to the most recent Podcastle episode, this coming Tuesday (Sep 30th) will see the return of Podcastle Live.

The show will of course be recorded and available to download a day or two after, but where is the fun in that? Wouldn't you much rather witness the mighty Podcastle come crashing down due to technical errors LIVE!? Better yet, be part of the reason everything will go wrong in the first place!

When are these shenanigans of awesome taking place?
The show will be starting at 6pm UK time which is probably 1pm EST. Though, due to bad maths, just assume it'll be starting at just after lunch o'clock America-time.

We will start broadcasting an hour-ish earlier than the start time to make sure everything works and so you can get yourself comfortable.

You scare me, I just want to watch
That's fine my child. We will be streaming the show over NowLive via a fancy widget type thing. You wont need to sign up and, if all goes to plan, Jim will embed the player in the front page post on Tuesday, so you wont even need to leave Dtoid.

But, oh sexy Wardrox, how does one get involved?
During the show, there will be many ways for you to call us and tell us we're wrong. You can use either the NowLive widget chat, or in the Dtoid IRC channel.

To get into IRC either read ProfPew's guide, or simply go to mibbit.com and select the server to be dynastynet.net and the channel to be #destructoid.

Hmm, text is all fun, but how do I sing Coldplay at Atheistium?
Now, this is where things get a touch more complicated. To call into the show and be a sexy guest you will need to use Skype. Don't worry, it's free. Make sure you add me to your skype contacts list (Skype name: Wardrox).

If you want to get on the show, DO NOT just ring me. Chances are if you do I'll block your account. Instead, send me (wardrox) a PM via Skype, when the time is right, I'll give you a call back to get you on.


And that's that. Expect technical difficulties, lots of drunks, and a very, very fun few hours. Keep an eye out on Tuesday for Jim's post.

Also, Live Cocks.
