Hi everyone,

I’m the producer (and proud dad) of my 9-year-old son’s podcast, Join the Fray. We recently sat down with Dr. Ted Gervan, and I thought this community might appreciate his unique perspective on how the industry has shifted over the last two decades.

Before he became an educational leader at institutions like Sheridan, Capilano, and the Centre for Digital Media in BC, Ted worked as a prosthetic makeup artist in Hollywood. He was part of the talented team that brought the original X-Men (2000) to life. [Ted got the chance to support the super talented team of Evan Penny or Ann McLaren who designed the look for Mystique and Sabretooth!]

He contributed to the character designs (including the drawings for Sabretooth) and helped building specific costumes, pouring and coloring the silicone, painting nails, and applying the makeup once the initial sculpts were molded.

Fraser and Ted had a great discussion about:

• The Reality of the Makeup Lab: The technical process of pouring, coloring, and detailing silicone prosthetics for a major film production, and how that hands-on experience shapes his view of modern 3D pipelines.
• The Evolution of the Craft: How he sees the industry shifting between physical, high-touch lab work to digital-first workflows, and how education needs to adapt to teach both.
• Advice for Future Artists: His take on "the fear of building"—how he teaches students to bridge the gap between a design idea and the messy, physical/digital reality of actually building it.

It’s a non-monetized, fun interview and thanks to the Mods here to enable me to share it.

Enjoy folks and thanks for the opportunity to share this fun chat!

Hey there. I made a Spotify playlist I've titled The Best Horror Podcast Sampler. The playlist has 600+ episodes from 120+ different podcasts. Archive 81 is on the list!

Sharing this here because I think there's some audience overlap with this community, even though the format is a little unconventional.

Dark Star Adventurecast is a serialized sci-fi fiction podcast. Corporate cold wars, space mercenaries, a slow-burn conspiracy that's been building for 20+ episodes. The Expanse and Firefly are the closest comparisons I can make without sounding like I'm overselling it.

The unconventional part: it's produced from a tabletop RPG session. Stars Without Number, specifically. I know that's a dividing line for some people here. What I can tell you is the episodes are edited down to narrative fiction, no dice commentary, no rules discussion. Recent episodes have basically zero rules density; the game is the production method, not the product.

Anyway. We just finished a new trailer if you want 90 seconds to figure out if it's for you.

Curious whether this community has much patience for produced actual play in general, or whether the format is always a deal-breaker regardless of execution. What's your opinion?

Hi all,

I have just published the first 2 episodes of my Podcast 'The Rookie Run', a podcast which pairs a rookie (new to a game) with a Veteran who has played the game before.

Episode 2 was my first time playing Silent Hill 4, alongside a die hard fan!

I loved doing this, I hope others can enjoy!
