Brobdingnagian Bards Featured on The Signal Firefly Podcast

Some of you may know that I am a HUGE Firefly fan. I admit it. I watch a few episodes of the TV show or movie at least once a week. I bought the Collector's Edition with the hope that we'll get a second movie. I play firefly music by the Bedlam Bards in my podcasts. And one of my favorite podcasts of all is The Signal.

The Signal is a podcast about Firefly and Serenity. It has all the latest news and fun tidbits that make me watch the show even more. I'm a huge fan. And oddly enough, two of the hosts Les and Kari are fans of the Brobdingnagian Bards. This year at DragonCon, we finally got our shot to perform on The Signal.

While Andrew and I were in Ireland, I got an email from someone telling me about the Sing A Song for Saffron Contest. The idea was to write a song about Saffron, aka YoSaffBridge, from the TV show. I've been wanting to write a song for Firefly since the show came out, but nothing came to me. But there I was, in Ireland, and a melody popped into my head and I started writing. I got home, made a recording, and sent it off to the competition. A few weeks later, I learned I won "Best Filk Song" in the competition. I just received a couple o'shiny prizes in the mail today.

The song is called "She Said Her Name Was Saffron". And thanks to that song, Andrew and I were invited to perform on The Signal. The DragonCon special was posted live today. Go hear my new song.

Justin Timberlake Has Nothing on Us

The 2nd Annual Renaissance Festival Awards winners were announced a couple o'weeks, and we won! Okay, not really.

As the host of the Renaissance Festival Awards, the Brobdingnagian Bards are unable to win. So I made a special award just for us--"Best Ineligible Band".

Yes, it's true. We beat out Madonna, U2, Beyonce, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and countless other ineligible bands to win this special award. *sniff* Thank you, Mom!

And after mentioning that we won in our podcast, our friend Mike, who designed the award graphics, made one for us too. (Thanks Mike!:)


So let this be a lesson to you all. When it comes to ineligibility, we can't be beat!

*scratches head*

Pod-Play. Is that Like Sex in a Podcast?

Thanks to our recent addition to the Podsafe Music Network, we are getting a lot of Pod-Play. (Doesn't that sound like we're getting some action in a podcast... that's just wrong!)

Here are some of the recent podcasts playing our music:
That's all the ones who've played us since we joined the network. If you are a podcaster, make sure you join the Podsafe Music Network and let us know you're playing our music. I'll try to add new podcasts in the future.

PS. Check out Shire Radio too, which now plays our music as well.
