Welcome to the latest podcast on the Geek Syndicate Network. \xa0We've had so much fun recording the Christmas game-show episodes over the last few years, we've decided to take the show on the road every three months. \xa0Each episode of Battle Gods Of Pod will pit three contestants against each other in a series of games specifically designed to test their podcasting skills and geek knowledge. \xa0The winner of each episode will go forward to the Christmas special for the ultimate showdown.\n
\nSeries 1 is hosted by Dion Winton-Polak. \xa0This pilot episode features the well oiled muscles and silver tongues of Christophe Montoya, Barry Nugent and Phil Ambler. \xa0Games include New Testaments, Speaking In Tongues, Convert The Masses and Gotterdammerung (as well as playing for time, playing hard to get and playing silly buggers.)\n\xa0\nWe would be happy to receive any and all constructive feedback on this podcast, as well as nominations and requests to join us in future episodes via e-mail at\xa0scrolls@hotmail.co.uk\xa0or\xa0@BattleGods_Pod\xa0if you prefer Twitter. \xa0(Please note, for this first series we are sticking to podcasters within the Geek Syndicate family, but next year we will begin to welcome people from all other areas of geekdom.)\n\nCredits where credit's due:\n\xa0\nIf you discover somebody new and want to hear more from them after the show, track down their reviews and articles on our website, and also catch them on their own podcasts:\n\xa0\nChristophe is one of the\xa0Trailer Trash Two, who analyse and discuss the latest happenings in the world of cinema. \xa0He can be found on twitter\xa0@montoc1701\xa0and hanging around street corners at peculiar hours\n\xa0\nBarry delves into pretty much every pot on the\xa0Geek Syndicate\xa0podcast, but can also be found intermittently on\xa0The Next Level\xa0and\xa0Geek To Geek. \xa0He can be e-mailed atthegeeks@geeksyndicate.co.uk\xa0tweeted\xa0@GeekSyndicate\xa0or thrown money at\xa0www.unseenshadows.com\n\xa0\nPhil joins Dion on\xa0Scrolls, the podcast for literary geekdom chatting about Fantasy, SF and Horror books more or less monthly. \xa0(Ok, less.) \xa0He can be abused on twitter\xa0@Phlambler\xa0but he'd really prefer to have a friendly chat.\n\xa0\nDion runs a\xa0Book Group\xa0alongside of Scrolls, and tries to pop up in other places where he can. \xa0Bit of a slag, really. \xa0You can molest him on Twitter\xa0@Dion_Scrolls\xa0or e-mail him atscrolls@hotmail.co.uk\xa0if you prefer privacy.\n\nThe music we use is called 'Battle Gods of the Universe.' \xa0It is performed by\xa0Domine\xa0and comes from their album 'Emperor Of The Black Runes' (which you can purchase at all reputable retailers)\n\xa0\nIncidental sound effects all come from\xa0freesound, which is a fabulous resource. \xa0As per their regulations, the sounds used in this episode are listed below, along with their originators.\n\nGuillottine test 02.ogg\xa0by\xa0Glaneur de sons\n\nBullBellow.mp3\xa0by\xa0Acclivity\n\nhotel-bell-2.aif\xa0by\xa0Spleencast\n\ntibetan chant falsalama 2 wet.wav\xa0by\xa0Falsalama\n\nWolf 41.wav\xa0by\xa0y89312\n\xa0\n20.0 Destruction.wav\xa0by\xa0Dangerbabe\n\nStruck By Lightning.wav\xa0by\xa0Cheeseheadburger\n\n\xa0\nRemix 2 of 124721_Andy_Gardner_thunder1.flac\xa0by\xa0Timbre\n
