Kris White, the producer and sometimes host of the Official Lost Podcast was recently interviewed by AudiblyLost, the fanblog dedicated to all things audio about Lost, including podcasts and music. Part one of the interview has been posted, you can read it here. I'll also eagerly await parts 2 and 3 because White reportedly describes his usage of Lostpedia's wiki.
UPDATE: Part 2 and Part 3 have been published.
4x03 "The Economist" was yet another fabulous episode, and now just for you, we've found more fabulous extra content directly related to this episode.
The first is from DocArzt, who had obtained a pre-release version of this episode. Being a trusted and upright member in good standing of the fan community, he didn't spoil or leak any details beforehand, but now that the episode has broadcast, he noted a few differences in the earlier version and the final cut. One of these differences was a deleted scene as Miles, Kate, and Sayid come upon the Sonar Fence on their way to the Barracks. What happens there is surprising, to say the least. Read all the details at DocArzt's personal blog here.
The second is the third Official Lost Podcast for this season from ABC. It features Naveen and Michael E. talking about The Economist. Listen to it at ABC's Lost podcast page here, or use the direct m4v link for iTunes here.
Enjoy!
If you aren't an ardent follower of various Lost blogs, you probably didn't know there was a new official podcast following the Season 4 premiere. A day after the broadcast on Feb 1, a new video podcast featuring ABC podcast producer Kris White appeared in ABC.com's general video section, but not the ABC Lost podcast page.
The oversight has apparently been remedied, and now it's listed a few days later as the "February 04, 2008" video podcast. Damon and Carlton do not appear, possibly due to the WGA strike. What are your theories for the delay? Simple chaos at the ABC web desk?
At any rate the new video podcast is entertaining. We get to see an underwater stunt for the filming of 4x01, and executive producer Jean Higgins is seen supervising in full-on SCUBA gear. Thanks Kris!
Congratulations to our friends Jay and Jack over at the Lost Podcast, who won the Podcast Award for best Entertainment Podcast this week. Not only do they give out their own awards, which we won this year, but they also get accolades from their podcasting peers! They are still in the running for the Best Produced award, which will be announced at the Podcast and New Media Expo on September 28th in Ontario, California, USA. Good luck for that guys, and well done!
Hey and welcome to the Lostpedia blog!!! My name’s Nick, and I’m a SysOp on the site, and am very excited to get to do the first proper post – an honour which I completely just awarded myself and so have probably annoyed everyone else. Of course I won’t be the only contributor by any means though! Other SysOps will be doing posts as they see fit, and so we’ll probably have fights I foresee every week over who gets to do the episode blog!
So lemme just tell you all what this is all about. The Lostpedia blog is basically stage one in what I like to call Operation Global Domination (hereby known as OGD)… Me and a couple of others have been discussing for ages about expanding the community, and so we hope the blog can act as a kind of entertaining episode review thing, as well as a "what’s going on in the wiki world of Lostpedia" sort of deal. We’re also kind of looking towards doing a possible Lostpedia Podcast, which would be absolutely amazing, but right now its still a pipe dream. However, its something I know I’d really like to set up for everyone to enjoy, so hopefully maybe next year when Lost returns we might have something for everyone’s Ipods. As well as this, we’re also trying to get some other stuff active, but a lot of it is still kind of up in the air or not confirmed enough to really justify me hinting at things we might possibly set up – only time will tell. That said, we should hopefully also have a Community Portal up in the next few days, which is something I know loads of users have talked about on the IRC Lostpedia Chat. This is going to include a lot of links mostly, but will also have a new feature called "Article Attack", which will be our polar opposite of the article of the week. You’ll soon figure out how it works, but the idea is it will be a weekly competition to see who can sort out a nominated article the best. As regards to other projects, if anything gets the green-light, you’ll all hear about it straightaway.
Anyway, the blog format is basically gonna be a weekly review of episodes, but hopefully in between that we can blog about other Lost news as well as Lostpedia stuff. Right now we’re kinda just doing it on the fly I must admit, but soon hopefully we’ll have something a little more solid… and also maybe some kind of thing involving schedules, which could even make this a kind of blog network, with a different blogger each day doing their segments? Again, I just made up that idea, showing how thought out OGD actually is!
Lost is airing on Wednesday so we should be coming up with the first ever episode review sometime on Thursday, which I promise will be more entertaining than this semi-serious introduction post!
So, spread the word peeps, as OGD is now in business!
