I think the song request placement was perfect.
Just sayin’. 
Had a chance to listen to RP#10 this weekend, and just wanted to say brilliant job! (And wow, thanks for highlighting the Up Tempo thread) 
I think rachealcakes did a great job, as did everyone. It was well produced.
I’d like to suggest that future episodes also be released in MP3 as well (it seems it wasn’t just me having problems with the new format), as it shouldn’t be too much extra work to do so, and MP3 is still the completely universal format that everyone can use (no matter what I did, I couldn’t play RP#10 except in the MP3 version).
Song request: good choice. For me, that was the surpreme moment of Toy Story 2, and what really put heart into the movie. As with others, I too am concerned about Pixar spending energy on sequels instead of thinking up new ideas and worlds, but I have to admit, I felt Toy Story 2 was as good (if not better) than the original. Only time will tell if all sequels will equal TS2.
theowne’s “Axiom”: Nice! Glad it was included.
Just curious… how did you arrange the forum talk? Was it skype?
miafka: Yes, we did use skype to record the forum talk
Hey! It’s Rachel, not Racheal. You should know that by now. 
Thanks for your comments, miafka. And you’re welcome. Up Tempo is one of my favourite threads, and one of the reasons that makes this forum so special, because you signed up as a member to share your recording experiences. Yep, Thomas is getting onto releasing the show as MP3 format, or at least making it available as an alternative download for future episodes.
Technically, the forum talk, and, in fact, all of the discussions where at least 2 people were involved were done using Skype, with Call Graph used to record. Wonderful invention. I can’t imagine how we’d cheaply (because you can’t get cheaper than free!) have international conversations without Skype.
Thanks very much for taking the time to listen to it and give feedback. =)
I think it’s awesome the response to this podcast was so overwhelming, we actually managed to bring the server down! 
Let’s do that again for the next ep, people!
Thanks for the song name, Rachel!
Thanks for sharing with us the behind-the-scenes for Up’s music, miafka! You [spoil]certainly deserved thread of the month.[/spoil]
[spoil]With regards to the Art of Pixar Short Films book prize, I’ve e-mailed radiopixar @pixarplanet.com using my e-mail address thedriveintheatre89 @yahoo.com (I left a space so the link doesn’t show up above the spoiler tags), but have yet to receive a reply. Can anyone who has access to the account please acknowledge you’ve received my mail? 
If not, I’ll send it out again. [/spoil]
Hehe. Well, we’ve upgraded our bandwidth limit from 15GB to 100GB per month, so if we did manage to “bring the servers down” again that would be awesome.
Enjoy the book, Andre! Thanks so much for your support. =)
You’re welcome Rachel, and uh… thanks! I’m a Pixar fan, tuning in’s the least I could do.
I just want to say that when I first envisioned Radio Pixar, I never expected it to come as far as it has. The people involved, the organization of the show and the level of audience participation (even the awesome AAC encoding with chapters!) has truly come together and made Radio Pixar even better than I wanted it to be from day one. I want to thank rachelcakes1985, bawpcwapn, The Star Swordsman and all the others involved in ressurecting the show for their time effort and dedication to fullfilling the Radio Pixar dream. As a former podcaster I know that, podcasting is a continuously involved process, especially for a show like Radio Pixar so I wish the best of luck to our new hosts and I feel that from this point on the only direction our favorite podcast can go is, well, “Up”. (I had to do it…)
Keep up the wonderful work!
-AJ
Thank you for the kind words AJD08, they are very much appreciated.
I’d just like to point out that although the entire podcast is a massive show of team effort, it really wouldn’t be possible with out rachelcakes1985 and all the time she devoted into organising it all together. Thanks Rachel
AJ, we thank you for your encouragement and appreciative words. None of this wouldn’t be possible without your help in starting up RP. We still miss ya.
Rachel has got to get the biggest thanks out of all of the RP staff. SHe is a director, editor, host and much more. Thanks a lot fo your contributions Rachel.
AJD08 - Nice to hear from you again! The Radio Pixar crew has been doing a fantastic job, haven’t they? You must be very proud.
You’re most welcome! I look forward to the next episode.
I never really envisioned myself that Pixar Planet would grow to this extent. To be honest, it almost seems reminiscent of Pixar Animation Studios’ climb to admiration. I seriously wonder if this site will eventually become an affiliate of such a coveted company in the future…
– Mitch
Pixar Planet love-fest!
Thanks a lot you guys. Working on each episode does take a lot of time and preparation, but with support from both the listeners as well as the rest of the Radio Pixar crew, it makes it worth it, and that encouragement that I’m on the right track spurs me to keep going and improving. Thanks again. <img src=“{SMILIES_PATH}/love2.gif” alt=“:loves:” title="In
Love" />
AJD08, thanks dude. I don’t believe we’ve ever spoken to each other before, since I became a member when you weren’t as active, but to get feedback from someone, much less the Director of the past era of Radio Pixar, really means a lot. I model the episodes on the past episodes, and in some ways, those episodes are far superior than ours (not that it’s a competition). But it’s that combination of merging what worked well in the past, with new ideas from the now is what will make Radio Pixar worth listening to. The Radio Pixar 2.0 team will try our best, and so will I.
Well, finally - over a span of 4 days - I have finished listening to the episode!
Very nicely done.
Introduction: Welcome Brad! Congrats on being the new editor!
Trivia Question: Oh my gosh. This one is hard. It challenged me. 
My guess was a Monster Truck Rally
Pixar Planet News: Woot~ Facebook. Twitter is… bleh?
Congrats on getting mentioned in New York Times, and yay for good reviews for UP!
I didn’t listen to the Round Table on the last episode so I kinda zoned out on this D:
Song Request: I caught myself singing along
Chelsea/Hog-Hug: Sign me up! Sounds like a great idea.
Birthdays: Happy Birthday! And congrats to [spoil]thedriveintheater[/spoil] for winning the book!
Trivia Answer: What? [spoil]Tri-County Bowling[/spoil] sounds like Monster Truck Rally 
Axiom by theowne: 
Oh. Mai. Gosh. Sounded Amazing! It’s just such a beautiful song. longs for her Wall-E CD
Outro: Rachel, you sound soooo much more relaxed in this episode. =) Good job TSS and Thomas too.
I’m looking forward to the next episode!
Thanks for the review thewisecookiesheet.
I’d love to! (See signature for links. ;D)
thewisecookiesheet - Thanks very much for the detailed feedback. Much appreciated. =)
No problem Rachel and TSS,
Thanks for giving me a good show to listen to!
I received The Art of Pixar Short Films about a fortnight ago, but I didn’t open it till today since I was so inundated with assignment and project deadlines. But now that I’ve had a look at it, I must say it looks fabulous! There was also a nice little congratulatory message from an “April Whitney”, so to her, Chronicles, bawpcwpn (or to whoever sent the package all expenses paid) and the rest of the Radio Pixar crew, I would like to thank y’all again for the awesome gift!
One thing, though. On the inside of the first page, there is a sticker with the words “To my biggest fan” and a signature beneath it. I can’t tell if it’s printed or someone autographed it, so to anyone who has a copy of the book, is there a similar sticker, or is this exclusive to my copy? Regardless if it is a real signature or not, I’m curious to know who it is. I was thinking Amid Amidi (the author) from the ‘A’, but I can’t distinguish the rest of the letters.
That’s great that you received it TDIT, and congratulations again.
Another big thanks to Chronicle Books and April Whitney for sponsoring the prize and organising the delivery of it.
I’m not sure about the sticker on the front, but hopefully another member can enlighten us.
Glad you got your prize A-ok, thedriveintheatre. And congrats again! =)
Hrm. That’s a noodle-scratcher right there. Maybe a kindergartner got a hold of the book. 
Nah, I would guess that it’s in every book, a “personal” note from Amid Amidi…
