The TANK Vodcast

Well, the sixth Amazing Meeting in Las Vegas has just concluded at the beginning of this week and we’re very proud to point out the involvement and interaction of three of the stars of The TANK Vodcast!

Richard Saunders and Dr Karen Stollznow were onstage for Richard’s presentation, involving teacher interaction, a dowsing demonstration and overview of the Mystery Investigator show presented for schools in Australia. Whilst the main stage was busy, Michael Wolloghan was in the crowd and amongst the presenters, filming and investigating for the next season of The TANK Vodcast!

…Of course, one can’t escape Richard Saunders hamming for a camera - here he is questioning whether John Edward is really ‘The One’, whilst Dr Phil ‘Bad Astronomy’ Plait has no doubts whatsoever!

As a result of the ‘internet-interaction’ emphasis of the Amazing Meeting, it has inspired more questions and goals for how The TANK Vodcast can better target an audience, support and network with pre-existing podcasts and vodcasts - and even prepare for the panels that will feature Richard, Karen and Kylie at Dragon*Con in Atlanta later this year.

We’d like to strongly encourage some questions and requests for us to answer at Dragon*Con! The second season filming is already well underway with footage from TAM6, interviews and investigations from earlier events and even more on the way. As with any show, we seek to improve and quantify what we can do to make the product even better.

Questions and feedback can be emailed to tankvodcast@gmail.com or posted on this blog via the comments feature on every entry!

Wanted to know what it’s all about? Who are we? What are we doing? WHERE are we going?

Thanks to the encouragement of Daniel Loxton of Junior Skeptic (do check out the respective pages of Skeptic and Skepticality!) - The TANK Vodcast is now profiled with a great new page on Facebook!

This page is able to be accessed by anyone, not just the enthusiastic masses on Facebook. Our previous ‘group’ will be phased out in order to take advantage of the features that a page will bring us, including more comment-box and forum sections - just like you’ve requested!

Best of all, we’ve featured our new promotional videos there, with both a snappy five-minute introductory version and a twenty-minute ‘best of’ round-up that features highlights from our 2007 to 2008 Season One shows.

Don’t forget that the series is for sale with links right here on our blog!

Yes, it’s true. We have discovered that The TANK Vodcast reporters aren’t just good looking (*ahem*) images on your screen or voices of reason in the ether of cyberspace - but true skeptical investigators who can team up in the real world and have a great time whilst at it!

NSW Reporter Michael Wolloghan was on the scene at the last Skeptics in the Pub! Whilst the Sydney Skeptics were showing the spirits what getting into the spirit of things was really all about, he joined hosts Richard Saunders and Stefan Sojka, as they prepared for the last TANK Vodcast episode for the season. As footage of the evening will show, the team not only joined the spoon-bending merriment but for some rather merry renditions of what just might be ‘Waltzing Matilda’ for the benefit of Alison Smith (Mp3 of episode Sept. 4th, 2006) who needed some evidence herself of what an classic Aussie ballad was like! You’ll have to listen (and watch!) for yourself!

Then it was all points south (or way out east for one!) as the skeptics converged on Wagga Wagga, for an almighty meeting of the minds at the Australian Skeptic Conference to discuss future directions and national goals! There Queensland reporter Jayson Cooke, Richard Saunders and Western Australian reporter Kylie Sturgess were presenting, networking and interviewing for further episodes and certainly setting the example. You can look forward to interviews with Paul Willis and Dr Martin Bridgstock of Griffith University featured in the next fantastic season of The TANK Vodcast!
