WAK - A LARP Podcast

21/03/2024

What's up everybody? This probably isn't the update you were hoping for, but we hope you'll read on anyways...

Our very first guest, and long time friend of the podcast, Khazon, needs your help. On the weekend of 3/16 he was in a bonfire accident and received 3rd degree burns on over 85% of his body.

Most of you may or may not realize that Khazon was one of the people who pushed us to publish our first episode(s) even when we weren't confident in ourselves. A lot of what followed for WAK was because of his encouragement and his willingness to be our first guest.

His road to recovery is going to be long, and incredibly hard. Those close to him are organizing donations and you can donate as well.

Hello everyone I’m Katie Clare and I’m asking for your help on one of my best friends who has suffere… Katie Clare needs your support for David Carr Support

Episode 100 is here!

It's a show about the show, which Flow insisted was like putting a hat on top of a hat. Personally, I don't see it...

We're going to recap the show, where we're happy with it, where we've failed, and what we want to do going forward. We also want to shout out EVERYONE who has supported us for our 100 episodes so far, we couldn't be here without you all and we're incredibly grateful.

AS ALWAYS, are you interested in supporting WAK? That's great! We're closing down the patreon, so just tell a friend and let us know what you think!

No new episode this week folks. Jet lag got us down bad.

We should be back with new WAK content next Friday.

We'll call this one our summer break!

05/08/2022

Hey folks,

No new episode this week. The entire WAK crew ended up flying to Seattle for work (Teflon is definitely here too!). We are hoping to have some new episodes coming next week, we'll keep you posted!

29/07/2022

Hey everyone. The storms this past week (2 weeks almost) in Knoxville have been pretty bad and so we've had trouble finding a good time to record an episode where our studio still has power and functional internet.

Because of this, there's no new episode this week. We have a few episodes in the pipeline but they aren't done yet and we figured it was better to take the time to get them right than to rush an episode half-heartedly.

In the meantime, if you're looking for something to WAK it to, check out one of our old videos that we think deserves some more love. Episode 39 with Sir Roger Shrubstaff!

31/05/2022

Hi everyone. WAK is looking for someone to help us edit and produce the show!

Who: Maybe you! Someone who's enthusiastic about amtgard and familiar with the show who knows a little bit about audio/video editing, or at the very least, someone who is willing to learn

What: You'll be helping us edit the weekly WAK episodes for both Video and Audio syndication. Anyone interested must be able to edit audio/video using an array of applications (we use DaVinci Resolve for video and Reaper for Audio).

When: Around once per-week, about an hour of time total.

Where: Wherever you have internet!

Why: Ultimately this is a ton of work and keeping track of everything takes up all of our bandwidth. We have a ton of projects we want to free up Cabbage for so we can get more LARP content out to the world.

What's in it for you?
Early access to episodes, you'll be editing them!
You'll get a shoutout in the end credits of every show we create!
Free license for Reaper audio editing suite
Your own WAK! head
A WAK water bottle of your very own!

What do I need?
A slight technical background helps but isn't totally necessary
A computer running either Windows, Mac, or Linux
An hour of free time each week to edit episodes, plus a little extra if you're learning
A good attitude helps but isn't strictly required (Flow is making me write this)

If you're interested in helping us out or if you've ever wanted to learn how a podcast works on the backend, you can get in touch by sending an e-mail with any credentials you think might be relevant to [email protected]

Thanks y'all,
Cabbage

Good news, the storage server is back up and very nice. Double WAK! on Friday to make up for missing last week =)

25/03/2022

Hey everyone,

No new episode this weekend. One of the disks in our server died and, while the data is striped and backed up, we have to replace the dead disk and rebuild the array.

This isn't a big deal, but rebuilding that array when we have around 4tb of raw data is going to take some time to do it correctly.

We'll be back next week with more content, and maybe even Wednesday with a mid-week WAK to make it up to y'all.
