In the immortal words of Jack Black in Anchorman: "Now this is happening."
Coming soon to your awaiting ears: the Scamper Podcast.
You may have some questions right off the bat, so let me try to answer as many of them as I can, and yet still manage to accommodate your extremely short attention spans.
What is a podcast?
Well, it's whatever you want it to be. Okay, that's a crap answer. A podcast is like a radio show. You can subscribe to the podcast and every time we post a new one, it will automatically download to your iTunes or whatever you use. You can listen to it whereever - in your car, at the gym, at work or at those always-boring parole hearings.
Why is Scamper doing a podcast?
Basically, one of Scamper's favorite things to do is to make appearances on the radio. We have a blast and our fans (We do too have fans. Jerk.) seem to enjoy it a bunch whenever we do it. The problem is this - the ratio of how much Scamper wants the radio to how much the radio wants Scamper is WAY out of whack. So we're making our own radio.
What is Scamper going to do on this podcast?
At this stage, I'd say it will likely be 97% Keith giving instructions on effective barrel-making. The rest will probably be just recordings of goats farting on each other. No, we'll have similar content to this website - some fun stuff, some comedy, some interviews, some music from bands in the local scene. Mostly just us talking to hear ourselves talk. It's sure to be a very self-involved, masturbatory experience for all.
Music, writing, podcasting - Scamper are really all around entertainers. It's like you're the modern-day Rat Pack or something!
True, although we're all Peter Lawford - mediocre British actors who are only allowed to hang out with the cool kids because of our connection to the Kennedy family.
Let's talk logistics. When is this podcast going to happen? How often are you going to post new ones?
For right now, the plan is for Season 1 of the Scamper Podcast to debut the Monday after the Superbowl (February 6). The season is scheduled for twelve weekly episodes with a cliffhanger ending, probably involving someone sleeping with someone else's mom like on The OC.
That sounds like a lot of fun.
Was there a question in there?
No, I'm just saying it seems like a good idea. I can't wait until the Scamper Podcast debuts.
You know what? I don't need your pity enthusiasm. If you think it's a dumb idea, don't listen. Just don't patronize me with your faux-supportive bullshit.
Jesus, man - why are you being such a jerk about this?
Because that, as Jack Black in Anchorman would say, is how Scamper rolls.

I'm very much looking forward to hearing it!
In the meantime, ever notice the word verification stuff? Though random, I'm pretty sure it's telling us something. For example:
jucrdy
Did I just get unwittingly insulted somehow?
Praise Jesus. The internet is sorely lacking in a good barrel-making resource. It's like Santa got my letter.
Does anyone else remember the plot of the 80's Christian Slater movie "Pump Up the Volume?" That's the first thing that came to my mind upon reading this...
hahaha.
steph, i think i may have that soundtrack on cassette. maybe.
at the very least, i know what you're talking about.
i can't wait to hear all the fun stuff that i know is part of the podcast. (see? see how i didn't give anything away. churning more excitement about it.)
Talk hard.
Yes, Stacy - but you felt compelled to let everyone know that you're in the know. And that's just sad.
You are banned from listening to the podcast!
Oh, did I mention that banishment is going to be a big part of this whole thing?
I hope at some point the band ends up off-roading in a truck trying to shake the cops and FCC, podcasting all the while.
Dude! Don't give away the cliffhanger at the end of episode 12!
i'll listen to the podcast all i want.
and how do you know i'm not making it up? maybe i was just trying to make you think i know something, but i don't?
yeah, think about that!
Nope! Banished!
Keith's mom was just given clear instructions NOT to listen to this podcast. If that's not enough proof of the awesomeness of this podcast, I don't know what is.
I sure hope she's not reading this journal either, or this will be pretty embarrassing for me.
Sweet.
Yeah, I don't think sensitive listeners will be too happy with the "Mike Gives a Scamper Fan Phone Sex" bit we have planned.
Damn it - I keep ruining the surprises!
