Zanzibar19 blog moves to... Zanzibar19.com!

Konichiwa, Snowman Army!

Chris and Ryan, creators/actors/idiots of the online comedy show SNOWMEN HUNTERS, here with a word to our friends and readers of this blog.

We’ve got 24 weekly SNOWMEN HUNTERS episodes from our home-brew media site, Zanzibar19.com, and things are crazy good. From the tiny Zanzibar19.com team, thanks for your views, emails, letters and death threats.

Things are going so good we’re having to revamp some of the ways we get the word out. Shooting, editing and posting these episodes on a weekly basis is HARD. Because of all this good feedback, we’re dedicating a lot more time to responding to friend requests, emails, etc. at our various profiles across the web. The upshot is our time for everything is dropping fast.

What does that mean?

It means we still want to have time to talk to our friends here AND socialize AND get the episodes out AND keep a meaningful blog going about what we’re doing.

Until now, every time we posted a blog, we’d upload it to 20-odd sites across the web. Yeah, we’re kind of dense that way. But in order to spend more time writing the blog and less time managing it, we’re going to simply ask everyone reading this blog to venture to our website at Zanzibar19.com and check out the blog there.

Of course, we’ll still be here interacting with friends here, but the blog will be at Zanzibar19.com. We’ll still be talking about what we’re doing with SNOWMEN HUNTERS, comment on entertainment in general and our niche in particular, and trying to be interesting and non-sucky as we do it. We just won’t have to spend the time uploading it everywhere.

Of course, we’ll still be talking to our friends, making new ones, and chatting with anyone who’d like to talk about podcasting/netcasting/vidcasting.

See you soon, and thanks for watching.

Announcing SNOWMEN HUNTERS Episode 05: Tits on a Snake.

What kind of poor bastard man loves a stick the way normal men love a woman? Sexually, we mean, if you were wondering. Sometimes the stick on top. It’s not important. What’s important is what horrible thing in his past brings him to that kind of madness? What pushes a man to follow Sherman Rance in hunting snowmen? In Episode 5 of SNOWMEN HUNTERS we begin to unravel the mystery of Everett Van der Sloot, and find out just what he was, and what he has become.

The SNOWMEN HUNTERS are with you Leo Laporte!

We here at Zanzibar19 and creators of the SNOWMEN HUNTERS are longtime lovers/followers of Leo Laporte, the tech guru of TechTV (R.I.P.) and were in large part inspired to do the internet show thing based on Laporte's podcast evangilizing. Or is it Podcast?

This week, Laporte, over at his site TWiT.tv put for the idea of calling what we all do in online entertainment netcasting rather than podcasting.  As proud members of the TWIT army from the start, the SNOWMEN HUNTERS are with you here, Leo.

Having waited for the coming internet broadcasting revolution since work in network sitcoms dried up (thanks for nothing, FEAR FACTOR! THE SIMPLE LIFE... you're dead to us!) we're very excited about the grassroots broadcasting possibilities.

But with our new online comedy series SNOWMEN HUNTERS, we've become frustrated there isn't a good word for online TV-style entertainment.

Podcast... that has an audio-only meaning these days. And people think you need an iPod to see or hear it.

Vlog... No thanks, and I think you burped something onto your shirt.

Vidcast... too A/V club nerdy. By that we mean lunch-time-in-the-library nerdy. Coming from a guy who spent his lunches in the library (Jusus-bouncing-baby-Christ I was nerdy) those are days I'd like to forget. Sorry vidcast.

Internet Protocol Television, aka IPTV... a name only a Linux evangalist could love.

Feedcast... What the frack is that? (email your notations of how nerdy a curse word like frack is to CSmith@Zanzibar19.com).

Mobcast... Because there aren't enough GODFATHER references in popular culture.

TAWCast or DCast... Stop. Just stop.

TeleCast... now we are literally going in cirlces.

Leocast... insert your complaint about shameless Laporte bottom-kissing here.

Netcast is short, simple, clear to the regular person and it's short, sweet and non-techie. i.e. It's a normal word.

So we're with you, and everyone who disagrees with you (in this case) is wrong. There, we said it.

From the Snowman Army to the TWiT army, we're with you.

Announcing Episode 04: Fart Tank Fiasco... Yes, that’s the real name.

You would think shooting snowmen is the craziest thing a man could do. You would think a man marrying and making sweet, gentle love to a stick would really, really be as far as a man could go.

But in this week’s SNOWMEN HUNTERS, you’ll see just how far Sherman and Everett will go to get what they need to be he best damn snowmen killers in the world.

SNOWMEN HUNTERS Episode 3... Everett loves his stick TOO much.

Boy, this... What we do in this episode will live to embarrass our relatives. This on ends on such a crazy, random, ridiculous level we’ll be living it down for years. But man, it’s funny.

So what won’t we do for our audience? NOTHING! But explaining this new episode of SNOWMEN HUNTERS this coming Thanksgiving is going to be tough. But we’ll take it for you!

Anyway, with that warning, we unveil SNOWMEN HUNTERS, Episode 3: Boy Meets Stick.

So who’s more foolish? The fool, or the fool who follows him? That’s the question we tackle, in our first Everett centered episode. You’ve been asking for it, so you get the background on Sherman’s moron partner. We see the effects of a horrible secret from Everett’s past, and how they lead him to follow a man who shoots snowmen for a living. The end of this one is something you won’t want to miss.

Enjoy.
