[FIRSTCast] Live Episode Friday!

[Greg Marra]

FIRSTCast Season Two Episode Four

Hey everyone! This Friday at approximately 8:30pm EST will be the live broadcast of the next FIRSTCast episode! A link to the live stream and an online IRC applet will be posted on our website right before we go live. Come join us in the IRC chat and ask questions during the episode!

On this episode, we'll be recapping Aim High, since there are no more offseason events. This year's game is in the past, and we'll review all the greatest plays, winning strategies, and why this might be the best game FIRST has come up with yet.

Also, we'll have a special announcement about FIRSTCast's coverage live (to tape!) from the Kickoff Event in Manchester, NH. It's going to be unlike anything you've ever seen before! Tune in on Friday for more details!

This episode continues our monthly release schedule, with episodes coming out around the first of each month. Once build season starts, the episodes will ramp up as we keep you posted on all the news and updates with this year's game!

As always, if you have questions you want us to answer on the air, send them to firstpodcast@gmail.com. We'll do our best to answer as many as we can. Also, you can join the FIRSTCast Facebook Group, where you can post on ideas for topics, music suggestions, and other comments.

It's going to be unlike anything you've seen before (which isn't hard, how many video podcasts have come outta Manchester?), trust me, we're over worked, we don't go into deep cryptic hints.

Also Greg, it's FIRSTcast, lower case C.

[Jeremytice]

[Jay Trzaskos]

Sounds good guys, I'll be listening in in a few hours.

Congrats on a good FIRSTCast! I thought it was pretty cool!

[Andy Baker]

Good FIRSTCast. I got to hear the last 10 minutes or so... especially liked Kelli and Michelle's top 10. Good job all, keep it up.

The big surprise was the announcement of the video episode of FIRSTCast that will be from the Kickoff in Manchester.

Not everyone can attend the Manchester Kickoff, even if they live in New England, so we're going to give you an idea of what it's like to actually go and see the kickoff in person. We're also going to get hands-on with this year's field and game elements to give you a chance to see them up-close the day of kickoff. And hopefully, we'll have an interview with a certain FIRST person about why they joined FIRST, what they think of this year's game, and where they believe the young thinkers of today will bring us tomorrow.

Oh, and did I mention we're planning on editing it on the drive home in order to have it online by the night of Kickoff? Yea, we're crazy.

The "pseudo" surprise is the one I was talking about a few people knew Kelli and I we're going to try and do a segment, but no one for sure knew that we were. A few days before the show I got an IM from someone not on the show "FIRSTcast is going to kickoff?" and I responded "No one told me". So maybe you just had two surprises.
