Pony 411

It's time for a new episode of Pony 411! This week, we only have two news items to talk about. One of them is the new spin-off series called Equestria Girls. You know, the thing that has unnerved the fandom. A lot.Speaking of unnerving things, the season 3 finale has aired, and Nemesis, LordFunkyFist and Artfan are here to discuss it. Listen in as they talk of the length of the episode, the implications for season 4, and quite a bit more. Including a crazy theory that Nemesis has. Then again, his last crazy theory was the existence of alicorn Twilight... Anyway, they also talk a little about season 3 overall.

Hey there, listeners! We have a special extra episode for you guys! Artfan interviewed Eric Ridenour, the creator of the fan movie, Journey of the Spark.We decided to make it a standalone episode because it's over 90 minutes long, and we couldn't bear to cut any of it out. So listen in to hear tales of how the project began, finding help, showing it at cons, voice-acting, and even... horror movies?By the way, if you want to get in contact with Eric:http://fimsparkmovie.tumblr.comofficialsparkmovie@gmail.comhttp://youtube.com/fimsparkmoviehttp://twitter.com/fimsparkmovie

Big week this week for the fandom, and Nemesis and LordFunkyFist are going to talk about it. But first, they go over some quick hits. It's almost entirely about cons and merchandise. Strange, that. But of course, they talk about the biggest news this week. So big, it shook the fandom to the core: Alicorn princess Twilight Sparkle being confirmed. Their discussion includes whether or not it will be permanent, what this means for the future, and the fandom's reaction. Oh, and the toys. Of course. Finally, Funky brings fan art back, with 5 pieces to talk about, including a few that pertain to our main topic. Nemesis also has a fanfic to talk about, that once again involves Twilight. Tune in later this week for a special episode consisting solely of Artfan's interview with Journey of the Spark director, Eric Ridenour. Episode links: http://pony411.libsyn.com/episode-25-links

We have a big episode for you this week! The four of us start things off with some quick hits, including some con news, MLP's expansion into Japan, more alicorn Twilight (Nemesis says it's inevitable), and more. Moving along, we talk a bit about the recent episode, Just for Sidekicks. Some of the talk includes favorite moments, its relation to the next episode, and Spike in general. After that, we discuss the Bronies documentary. What they did right, what they did wrong. Our thoughts on it may surprise you. And finally, fan content. Nemesis has a new fanfic to show us, and it involves Twilight, unsurprisingly. But it has Rarity too! And changelings! Plus, Four String brings out 4 songs, 2 of which from artists we've never featured before. Tune in! Episode links: http://pony411.libsyn.com/episode-24-links

Or something. Skip over 15:05 to 31:03 if you want avoid spoilers.

We said this episode would be a return to normalcy. We lied. But we're here, and that's all that matters. It's another episode of Pony 411, with Four String, Nemesis, and Artfan. We start with our usual quick hits, including cons, comics, and more! We then talk about Wonderbolt Academy, the newest episode of My Little Pony. Our discussion includes Rainbow Dash's growth as a character, Pinkie Pie's antics, and what this episode may mean for the future of the series. Afterwards, Nemesis got himself a copy of the MLP season 1 DVD, and he talks a bit about it. Find out if it's worth the money and what he thought of the audio commentaries. And finally, Four String gives us two songs to listen to. Both are from artists we've featured before, and one of them is a Christmas carol ponified.

Things got a little hectic, but we still managed to put together an episode this week. Welcome to another edition of Pony 411! We have a few news items including the synopsis for Spike at Your Service and Gameloft's response to complaints about their game. Of course, the meat of the show is our thoughts on the newest episode, Sleepless in Ponyville.  It's the first ever Scootaloo-focused episode. Find out if we think it's a good episode, or a nightmare. And finally, in lieu of the usual fan content, Nemesis presents his thoughts on the recently released official My Little Pony comic. Spoiler alert: he loves it. Things will return to some semblance of normal next week. Honest. Episode links: http://pony411.libsyn.com/episode-17-links

Welcome to another edition of the Pony 411 Podcast! Nemesis, Artfan, Four String, and FusionFox start the show by briefly talking about the synopses that were revealed for Wonderbolt Academy and Apple Family Reunion. We then go on to discuss the episode Magic Duel in detail. And manage to derail ourselves. Several times. And Artfan also makes a joke that was old 3 years ago. Finally, we wrap it up with 2 songs from Four String. And one of them is a bit... risque. It's a crazy episode, so tune in! By the way, if you haven't been, you should listen to our shows until the very end. Just saying. Episode links: http://pony411.libsyn.com/episode-16-links

New week, new episode. It's Pony 411 for the 15th time! Crazy, huh? This week, we have a few Quick Hits, including a fan animation looking for help, blindbag pony preorders, some new MLP books heading our way, and more! Of course, we talk about the new episode. Why wouldn't we? Discussions abound about One Bad Apple, including the earworm of a song and whether this episode actually would succeed at teaching kids about bullying. And that, um, "New York" accent. Yeah. Finally we wrap it up with four songs from Four String... Including a shipping song. Oh dear. But alas, no fanfiction because Nemesis got lazy. Blame the turkey. Episode links: http://pony411.libsyn.com/episode-15-links

In this episode, the much alluded to FusionFox finally makes an appearance. Really. He joins for our usual Quick Hits, which includes news such as Enterplay having a contest for signed trading cards, a new con in Texas, another con getting cancelled, and Bronycon moving. After that, we talk about Too Many Pinkie Pies, the most recent episode to air. More specifically, funny faces, hands, and parallels to Lesson Zero. And more. Oh so much more. Nemesis then presents his thoughts on the Gameloft MLP game, with some input from Fusion. They do not pull any punches. Four String then interviews the Deputy of Public Relations for Bronycon, Logan Biscornet. We get a few details about the 2013 convention, like why they made the move from New York City to Baltimore, and what kind of attendance they're expecting. Finally, we have some fan content. Nemesis presents a fanfic that highlights the problems with the Gameloft game (he's still bitter), and Four String gives us two long, long songs. Seriously, the two of them

Here we are. Season 3 has finally premiered. We talk all about The Crystal Empire: what we liked, didn't like, and how it compares to other episodes. We also discuss the story arc that seems to have been established, and where we think it's going. We also make a brief mention of the episode 6 synopsis and talk a little about the two season 3 commercials that aired. Alas, the usual quick hits and fan content are absent this week. But our usual format will return next week, bringing along a discussion of episode 3 and a review of the Gameloft MLP game.

It's an odd week here at Pony 411. We start off with the usual quick hits, potential season 4, episode synopses, the release of the official MLP game, and a season 3 clip. Then things get weird. We attempt to discuss which pony we'd vote for if Equestria was having an election. But thanks to all 3 hosts being tired while recording, we derail ourselves. Multiple times. Including talk of cruise ships. Yeah. A glimpse into the true depths of our madness. But we eventually recovered, and got to talking about some music. Three excellent pieces, courtesy of Four String. No fanfiction because of some game called Halo 4 keeping Nemesis occupied. But fan art comes up. Kind of. By the way, look for episode 13 in a few days. We're shifting our schedule around because season 3 is here, and we want to talk about the new episodes in a timely manner. Episode links: http://pony411.libsyn.com/episode-12-links

Welcome to the 11th episode of Pony 411! This week we cover some news including Michelle Creber and family raising money for a Christmas album (with MandoPony!), some cooking merchandise popping up in Europe, the names of several season 3 episodes (skip over 8:00-9:45 to avoid spoilers), and more! We then go into a spoiler-laden discussion of the recent 8 minute teaser that popped up recently. Can it still be a teaser if it's a third of an episode? Whatever, we talk about our impressions, including what it might mean for the rest of the episode and the animation. Again, skip over 10:54-44:26 if you want to stay spoiler free. Four String then interviews Laurent Malaquais, the director of the much anticipated Bronycon documentary. He talks of his experience making the documentary, some of the potential concerns and criticisms of the project, the potential impact the fandom will have on the world, and which pony he would dress as for Halloween. You should give it a listen. Seriously. Finally, we do our usual

Welcome to our 10th episode! First, Artfan does something... weird with his voice, and then we go over the quick hits. This week's include a study on the brony subculture, details on the season 1 DVD, some new merchandise to throw money at, and details of a season 3 episode! Afterwards, we decide to talk about pony cons, and whether or not they may be getting out of hand. We speak at length about the alarming number popping up, how bunched up they are, and whether the fans and show staff may start feeling burnout from them all. Finally, we talk about a fanfic and some music, courtesy of Nemesis and Four String. Since Halloween is coming, it made sense to use Nightmare Night by WoodenToaster and Mic the Microphone for our intro/outro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PCEp8z7FNg.

After that, we talk about season 3 information from New York Comic-Con and some rumors that are floating around.

We then talk about a recent Daily Dot article making the rounds, and discuss whether or not this fandom is fading or not. Finally, to wrap up this massive episode, we talk about some music and a fanfic. Hope you enjoy. P.S. November 10th! WOO-HOO! Episode links: http://pony411.libsyn.com/episode-9-links
