June marks episode number 25 for The Famicast, and this month, the crew has decided to do something a little different - give you the a live episode of the show! It’s not going to be just a normal episode. To celebrate the 25th Famicast, we’re going to give you, the listener, a chance to interact with the Famicrew and even have a chance to win some prizes! Check out the time table below to see when the show starts in your area!

To listen to the stream, you can tune in through the embedded player below or use the following link (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com:8000/rfnlive.mp3) in VLC, Winamp, or your preferred media player.

On top of interaction with listeners, we are also planning on having a special segment of the show taking a look at some retro Japanese Nintendo commercials. In order to make sure that the crew and listeners are on the same page, we’re going to attempt to broadcast the commercials over Twitch TV during the show. We have some interesting and funny commercials picked out, so you won’t want to miss it! For those of you that can't make it live, we'll be sure to (technology willing) provide you with the episode on the podcast feed.

In order to best participate with us during the show, we recommend using the chat below. 

Also, be sure to check out Ty's Twitch TV around the midpoint in the show (we'll indicate when you should check it out). You can view it below!

Prizes

As usual, a mostly interesting and diverse podcast from the Famicrew, but hopefully you realize what a mouth-breathing ass you sounded like with the "is she hot?" question.
