In reply to oogler_von_buelow. Yeah its nearly impossible to talk about anything hyper topical since the episodes are now records weeks to months in advance. Glad you like it though and thanks for the donations.

Actually, i can see why "This week in internet" might not come back. I like the current format though, it flows well.

So glad its coming back. I'm exactly the person you're referring to. I'm not huge into the comic, webcomics just never did it for me, but I LOVE the podcast. Setting up monthly donation right now.
Joel, a couple of requests:
1. Please randomly throw in the autotune 🙂
2. I'd love to see "This week in internet" make a return. Can we get a little coverage of the 5 guys burger rap video?

You have no idea how long I've been waiting for the podcast… I had begun to fear that it was gone forever…

Great to hear the show is back! You have been a role model of sorts to me as since your show went off the air, I have started a couple of different podcasts. The GWA Ballsrog’s Next Level Podcast and my personal Dad Wants a Section 8 podcast. Both can be found on iTunes. Ironically because Hijinks Ensue stopped doing new episodes, I started listening to the Ballscast and have since joined forces with the cast to do GWA. I completely feel your pain on coordinating the cast. Since no one stepped up, I took the reigns of the webmaster and host. Getting a group of guys to Skype for a couple of hours a month is hard. If you don’t mind, I would like to plug your show the next time we record. May the Lord God baby Jebus be with you, Joel.
Sincerely,
Rev. Will Strack
P.s. Did you ever get Pandora Thunder?

In reply to @warholreject. YAY! Alex is back too! His rendition of the announcer for RoboGeisha will haunt my dreams.

Shame – but understandable. I'm just glad you guys have worked out your differences and gotten the band back together! The HE podcast was (and soon to be *is* – YAY) one of my favorites!

I'm glad you found a way to start doing this again since your podcast was one of the main inspirations for me to make one of my own.

Have you thought about seeking some volunteer help for some of you endeavors? Not that I believe you can't succeed with all of it on your own, but I'm sure there are people out there who might be willing and able to take a thing or two off your shoulders, like editing the podcasts or whatever. I know enough about audio engineering and editing to probably help a little as my time allowed and I'm sure you'd have no shortage of similar offers from other Fancy Bastards.

Your note is exactly why I my interest has been waning. I will be back in the fold now. On top of that, most of the guests you will be adding are on podcasts that I follow as replacements for your own, so bonus.

So now I'm TOTALLY expecting a "The B-Team" illustration of you as Hannbal, Roger as Mad Murdock, and myself as B.A. (only because I'm certainly no Face) (… although Roger DOES have the R-Van).

Sweet. I've always loved the podcast. Early last year I lost my job and the podcast helped keep me sane during the long days of nothing to do.

In reply to hijinksensue. Fair enough. I suppose everyone assumes the things they really enjoy are shoe-ins for success, which is certainly not always the case.

In reply to bulletproofheeb. Certainly not an invalid question, but that's kind of like asking, "Have you thought about having your idea made into a big budget Hollywood movie?" It's just not that easy.

In reply to Scruff. I doubt it.

This is great. This style of podcasts is what I enjoyed. I listened to you guys for entertainment. We don't need another "topical" reviews and news style podcast.

The improv, voices, characters and storytelling is what made HE podcast awesome.

Have you thought of asking Chris Hardwick if there's a way to partner your podcast with Nerdist Industries? It seems like a total fit and it's possibly a way to get subsidized with monetary support or technical support (editing of the podcast).

That said, I'm ecstatic that the podcast is back. I had asked you about it at New York Comic Con and you let out a noise that brought to mind Side Show Bob stepping on rake after rake.

Is Denise going to be back at all? I loved when all four of you guys riffed together. She also had some of the best lines.

OMFG, are you reading my mind? Two days ago I had few guest and was showing them my comics, and your first book came up. I explained who are you and what you do, and then added, "I only wish he'd do podcast again. Sigh."

So, I'm going to donate tomorrow. This has to be one of the finest Mondays in months.

In reply to jessie_monster. As of right now there is little to no chance of that happening. Impossible to stream live when the shows are recorded weeks in advance. Also, eliminating extra steps, hardware, things that can go wrong (USTREAM!!!), etc is key to making this process manageable.

I don't know what the set up at the new studio is, but do you think there is a chance of the ustream feed coming back? It was superfun to listen with other fancy bastards and occasionally even contribute to the podcast. The LOLocaust comes to mind.

I’m super pumped!
