WAMG Podcast Announcement/Contest!

Hello movie geeks! For those of you who don’t know who I am, my name is Tim Buel and I just started writing here at WAMG a few weeks ago. Prior to writing here, I ran a little film blog called Fliktalk.com. In addition to being the editor in chief of the site, I also hosted the podcast. We closed our doors this past September due to scheduling conflicts and loss of some team members, but the passion was still alive in me to bring a fun, informative and entertaining podcast to my fellow film geeks. Enter WAMG. I was hired by Scott as a news writer, which has been awesome, but I recently offered to take the reigns and helm the site’s podcast.

So where are we now? I have been in pre-production on the show this passed week or so and have come up with some pretty fun ideas. I will be joined by Scott and Kirk as your regular hosts and we will be chatting about a variety of topics, many of which, we hope you will contribute to! We will also be joined by various guests from other film sites, and of course some celebrity guests from both behind and in front of the camera! You can also expect some awesome contests which will test your creativity as a film geek, and your overall film knowledge and opinion!

Speaking of contests, that leads my to my next bit. We are very excited about this new show and we want you, as the audience and our fellow geeks, to have some participation in its birth. So here’s our offer: Help us name the show! We want something snappy, sexy and of course, related to our common love of all things cinema. If you have an idea for the name of the show, send an email to wamgpodcast@gmail.com with “Show Title” in the subject line. What’s in it for you? If your show name is selected, you will receive a box of of swag. This includes DVDs, shirts and other movie related paraphernalia. Sound cool or what? So get on it!

Submissions for the contest will end on Monday December 7th at 11:59pm PST so you have a whole week to get some awesome names to us. The first ever show will be live on ustream.tv (where you can participate in the chat room and listen live) starting   Wednesday December 9th at 6:30pm PST/9:30pm EST. If the dates change, we will inform you!

We look forward to reading your submissions and bringing you a film podcast that you won’t soon forget!

SEE YOU GUYS SOON!
