Hey Fellow Escapists!

A big thanks to everyone who offers questions and encouragement to Frankie!
I think this has a bigger fan-base here on the Escapist then it does on the radio station it's made for!

We've arrived at the 50th episode of Listener Mail!
I know that only a relatively small audience here at the Escapist actually listens to this, or even knows about it, but a big thanks to all those who have listened, and even contributed with new questions for the crazy cab driver known as Frankie! I just do this because I love it, and it's good to know that other people (No matter how many that is) enjoys listening to it as much as I enjoy making it!

Any and all feedback is welcome!
If you have a question for Frankie, or an idea for an extra 'skit', then post 'em!

I quite enjoyed that.Keep it up,sir.I must say i am more than envious of your job -_-

3)   18 Aug 2009 21:11

i got the link on IRC, and I must admit, I found it pretty funny... it'd be a nice regular feature.

4)   18 Aug 2009 21:15

That was interesting.
I, for one, enjoyed it.
Keep posting them, please!

5)   18 Aug 2009 21:19

That was pretty good, nice voice you got there.

6)   18 Aug 2009 22:15

Thanks for the good words, so far guys!
Perhaps I'll be updating this thread!

7)   27 Aug 2009 19:09

The next segment is up, if anyone wants a listen.

8)   27 Aug 2009 19:23

Now, why is it that I've never seen you in a Skorgy?

Haha, well I don't know? I don't have Skype, for one!
And no-one invites me.

Just keep yelling, "Skorgy? Skorgy!" on the IRC and you'll get an invite soon enough.
I mean, it works for everyone I know who'se tried it, but you gotta be careful to not be spamming about it, or else you'll get modd'd.

That first one is friggin' hilarious.
I'll listen to the next one now.

Edit:Ha!

I love the bit about the muffins.

12)   27 Aug 2009 19:51

Isn't this advertising? Which I believe is against the rules.

Please do.
I love this.

No, it's not advertising.
I'm not linking any outside site, I don't even tell you what radio station I work for!

I'm just posting up a fun segment I do at work for listening enjoyment!

15)   27 Aug 2009 20:09

Good stuff and kept me entertained for a bit.

16)   27 Aug 2009 20:19

Awesome bit once again and now I hunger for a burger.

17)   27 Aug 2009 20:21

Eh, the cab voice was ok, but years of listening to Opie and Anthony have left me with a bad taste for this kind of radio.

18)   27 Aug 2009 20:28

Can I make a thread saying where you can find my videos or music if I don't directly link to youtube? I'm not affiliated with any outside corporations. Boy, I would really like to get the word out there. I'm pretty sure it would be locked, though, unless you are setting a precedent.

Forum stuff aside, you got a good voice for radio. I do commentary for a wrestling show here in MA, also done a couple vo's for commericals for local businesses. Best job in the world, I can imagine radio being quite fun.

It never hurts to double check with the official staff.
Provided it's done tastefully (And not trying to get money or something), I can't see it being an issue. But, again, it'd probably be best to check with official staff.

Thanks! I love doing VO work, and I'm the guy who puts the commercials together!
It's a great job! Even on the worst of days, I love this job.

it's funny, keep 'em coming
if we had those kinds of radio stations here, I would tune in all the time.

21)   3 Sep 2009 15:04

The next 'episode' (If you can call it that) is up! Any and all feedback is welcome!

22)   3 Sep 2009 15:13

Funny as always.

Have you considered getting this made into an Escapist Feature?

Thanks for listening! And for the good word!
As for the 'feature' thing, I don't think that would fly. But that's ok! I do these anyways for work, and I just enjoy sharing them with people!

Oh well. I only suggested it so that more people could enjoy it.

25)   3 Sep 2009 15:29

That was great! I love your voice.

It was certainly a fair suggestion!
Hopefully the comments and updates will attract more people! Then maybe the staff will demand it become a feature!
Haha, but I'm not holding my breath!

27)   3 Sep 2009 15:36

haha this is the funniest thing i've heard in ages.
edit: the muffin bit in episode 2 is my favourite part so far

28)   10 Sep 2009 06:53

Hehe, loved the part about a floppy disk being used as a "nerdy ninja star", awesome stuff once again.

29)   10 Sep 2009 14:14

Next episode is up for all interested!

30)   10 Sep 2009 18:33

Wow, this is funny as hell.

Loved the bit about the muffins.
Did you ever get hit in the head with a shovel?

31)   13 Sep 2009 08:05

Heh, guess I'm not the only one who uses the smell test sometimes.

32)   13 Sep 2009 08:06

The links don't work for me?

33)   15 Sep 2009 19:11

headshotcatcher:

That's weird. Didn't they work OK for you before?

And the next episode is up!
Feel free to post questions here, if you want to! Dive into the wisdom of Frankie!

I laughed the most at this one. "Taste Lag". Excellent.

And since you want questions, can you do any other accents?

35)   16 Sep 2009 02:44

This was a good one, "taste lag" was the best bit for me.

Well my question is what made you want to be a cabbie?
