iTunes workaround!

Apple still hasn’t approved our show for the iTunes store (perhaps everyone who listens to it for approval is BLOWN AWAY). But for those of you who can’t imagine listening to the show any other way, here’s a workaround:

1. Open iTunes.
2. Click the “Advanced” menu.
3. Click “subscribe to a podcast.”
4. Enter this URL: http://warrocketajax.com/feed/podcast/.

That should work! In case you were wondering, that URL is also our new podcast RSS feed, if you do the reader thing.

So hey, what’s happening with iTunes?

You may have noticed that the show disappeared from iTunes today.

That’s actually a good thing, because it means I can submit the new podcast feed to Apple and get the new shows up on there as we post them. I’ll let you guys know when we’re back in business, and since all the old feedback/reviews will be gone, we’ll need new ones!

It’s Labor Day!

We’re taking the week off to relax a little, figure out some technical stuff and most likely eat some barbecue. (If you’re feeling adventurous, you can try Epic Meal Time’s candy barbecue, pictured above.)

I’m sure you all wanted to hear our thoughts about Justice League #1, but don’t fret! Both Chris and Matt wrote up reviews of sorts.

And be sure to check out Matt’s new webcomic, Copernicus Jones, as well as Chris’ soon-to-return Awesome Hospital!

Win This Book!

Tonight, Chris and I are interviewing Michael Kupperman of Snake ‘n’ Bacon and Tales Designed to Thrizzle! His new book, Mark Twain’s Autobiography 1910-2010, comes out in November, but one lucky WRA listener can get a copy now, just by asking a question on Twitter during our interview. Simply tweet your question at @theisb with the hashtag #KuppermanAjax for a chance to win!

One Day Delay

Howdy folks.  Happy Memorial Day! We’re posting the show tomorrow because of the holiday. Plus, there won’t be an episode next week since we’ll be at Heroes Con.

The week after that? Who knows what’ll happen. Something big!

Slight delay!

Some technical holdups are making the show a little late this week, but it will be up ASAP. If not by tonight, by tomorrow morning. Be patient, guys! You’ll hear our new episode with Colleen Coover imminently!

No new episode this week…

…because we’ve taken your donation money from the WRA pledge drive and ridden off to Mexico. So long, suckers!

Okay, just kidding. Obviously, if we had run off to Mexico, we wouldn’t have seen it fit to write about it in a blog post. Or would we!? Anyway, Chris and I decided we needed to take a breather for a week after a string of episodes recorded while sick or just after travel.

For those of you who have donated, hang tight, and we’ll get you the incentives that are coming to you. And thanks again for your generosity.

We’ll be back next week with a new episode!

The War Rocket Ajax Pledge Drive!

First of all, thanks immensely to everyone who has already donated. Frankly, we’re surprised anyone would part with their money just because they like to listen to us joke around for a while each week. For those who have given enough to get an incentive, we’ll be in touch soon.

We figured it would be a good idea to put our incentive offers in writing here, just so you guys are clear on ’em and you don’t have to go back and find that part of this week’s episode again. Plus, we’ve added a new one! So here they are:

  • Any donation results in us reading your name out on the show.
  • $25 gets you a piece of digital art from one of our artist pals.
  • $50 gets you signed copies of Matt’s supervillain how-to book, Hate You Forever, and Resurrection #8, Chris’s first published comic. Also, our good friend and theme-song rapper Adam Warrock will send you one of these two t-shirts for free, while sizes last!
  • $100 means you get to be third chair on an episode of War Rocket Ajax!
  • And a $1,000 donation gets you Chris Sims for a night (though anything beyond hand holding will have to be negotiated between you and him).

Thanks again, everybody. We’re going to try to not be too obnoxious about this, and we appreciate everyone who listens to the show.

24-hour delay! Big news!

You’re probably wondering right about now, “Where the hell is the show?” Well, turns out our guests, Curt Franklin and Chris Haley of Let’s Be Friends Again, had a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT they wanted to talk about on our show. However, Comics Alliance is the site that’s going to break said news tomorrow. So rather than scoop Chris’s very own employer, we’re pushing the show back a day. We’ll be here with our two-hour-plus show tomorrow at noon!

In the meantime, get caught up with Awesome Hospital or check out my new Content Farm Tumblr!

No new show this week…

…because we’re already recording for our HUGE 50th episode/2010 Christmas spectacular.

Chris promised that this year’s Christmas episode wouldn’t be like last year’s, and that’s true enough, but this one will be pretty dang big, with lots of guests, Christmas memories, and a script! That’s right! A script!

So be back here next Monday at noon, when we’ll hopefully have this thing done. It’ll be a Christmas Miracle!

ALSO: This episode has gotten so big we won’t be able to fit in everybody’s top WRA moments. But we’ll be reading them on episode 51! So keep sending your favorite moments to warrocketpodcast at gmail dot com.
