Well, I suppose "Once upon a time..." is a bit over-used, but it certainly does the job of preparing the listener. Lower the drawbridge to your imagination. That calls to mind the opening of "The Friendly Giant" show. Friendly (the only name he had) would always say he'd lower the drawbridge for us to enter... I'll go on ahead and lower the drawbridge. Would you like to see my castle? Here's my castle
[cue theme]  ...and then we'd see it being lowered. Actually, that shot is from the closing, when the bridge is about to be raised and the moon is up. |

"Stop me if you've heard this one before ..." You crack me up, stePH  Your taglines really are the best, IMHO. Came up with this one in the shower (really, a great place to just think, because there are no distractions, other than loads of water) Spread your ears and let this story take you far, far away |

Me, I never take things very seriously. That would put too much pressure on life and it's way too much fun for that! So, in a very unserious way, I wanna help Podcastle in its quest to find a tag line! As PC-listener, I dig quests. So put on your shiny armor, flap your wings and join the quest for The Tag. Darnit. |

I'm a perv, I know, but for an instant I saw "heed" as "head". |

My suggestion: blah blah author bio blah blah and then, no transition, just a very brief pause... "I believe in (oblique reference to story). In a few minutes, so will you." ie: Osteomancer's Son: "I believe in the magic we feel in our bones. In a few minutes, so will you." Come Lady Death: "I believe death comes for us all. In a few minutes, so will you." (how's that for my intro/outro/editing audition..  ) |

I liked the one Rachel used in today's episode. Though the delivery was rather stilted, but it's the thought that counts.

It was a nice one-off on PP. It made me grin.

Yeah, I do. I recognized the line, and the joke made me grin too. But I also liked the line for its own sake - at least, I like it better than anything offered in this thread so far. (Also, could people please stop inserting random e's into my name? It's not my fault my name does not have an anglicized spelling, and I feel I should be able to use it in forums without it being mangled.) |

By the way, since I was very tired when I wrote that last night - the part about the delivery being stilted was supposed to be an allusion to it being a joke, not an actual criticism. Which, re-reading this morning, makes no sense.

Haven't had chance to listen yet, but have never listened to Pseudopod so the joke will be lost on me  |

I don't mind "sullying" my ears ... last time I did so was listening to the good doctor's review of Doctor Strangelove on Escape Pod.  |
