Please join us this Saturday for a special event -- we want to hear from you!

WHO: Radio Free Nintendo crew and our special guests: you!

WHEN: Saturday, July 9, 12pm (Noon) PDT, 3pm EDT, 7pm GMT

WHERE: Right here! Check back for the audio stream and live chat.

HOW: Send a Skype IM to rfn.assistant and please be patient, there may be a long queue of callers. Be ready to mute or pause the audio stream once you join our call!

Our little podcast is turning five years, and for the landmark 250th episode, we want to bring in our greatest asset -- the loyal and brilliant listeners who write us letters, participate in RetroActive discussions, and inspire us to keep doing this every week. Please join us Saturday afternoon/evening for this special live event, in which we'll spent a couple of hours taking your calls to talk about Nintendo, the gaming industry, the podcast, or most anything else on your mind. Don't be shy, it will be an easygoing and fun time for everyone! We'll try to record the whole thing for inclusion in Episode 250, so this is a chance to be part of the milestone! You can listen to the whole thing right here, and we'll announce call-in details over the audio stream. Just come prepared with the free Skype software and the best microphone you can find -- Rock Band and Guitar Hero ones can work quite well!

Join us in the chat room while we're on air. More info is below the chat box. Having trouble? You can also connect with a dedicated IRC client. Server: irc.browsingtheinternet.com Channel: #nwr The audio stream URL is http://nintendoworldreport.com:8000/rfnlive.mp3.m3u

Will the live-stream work on the iPhone or iTouch?

Yes, it should.

broodwarsJuly 07, 2011

Hmm...I'd really like to join in on this, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to be busy this Saturday doing lawn work.  If so, I look forward to the .mp3 down the line.

CericJuly 07, 2011

Going to try to make it after my Son's swimming lessons.  Should be fun.

Oh man...of all the crap, my brother has to go and have his wedding at the same time as the RFN #250.

Hmm...which one to go to...

I listened to the previous live show on my iPhone and had no issues with it.

Actually, due to daylight savings being in effect here in the UK, people in Britain would want to tune in at 8pm BST, not 7pm.

CericJuly 08, 2011

If I was just going to listen I be fine but this is my chance man.  With a chat room full of listeners listening as well my insane comments will sort of make sense.

I listed GMT because it is a static reference for anyone outside the U.S. (it doesn't change with the seasons). So yes, if your locale celebrates DST, you will have to correct for that, even in England.

I'll be there. I've rearranged my schedule to get my service academy application stuff out of the way before noon.


THEREMIN HERO FOREVER

I'll be there with bells on, router permitting.

ControlerFleXJuly 09, 2011

It'll be 4AM for me, but I won't miss this for nuthin'!

NeoStar9XJuly 09, 2011

Is this going to be the Q&A or will the stream include what the crew's currently playing like all the podcast? Pretty much the entire podcast live?

RazorkidJuly 09, 2011

Man, I hope I'm back in time to contribute to this.

tyrian3July 09, 2011

Thanks Jonny for the clarification about the time, so it's 8PM in the UK (and Spain&Portugal) and 9PM EST (Central Europe, Italy, France, Germany etc).
I'll be back at 9, can't wait to listen to the show and hopefully be able to call-in again :)

Well, turns out that'll be 5am for me and given my flu (and subsequent sleep-in) I won't be able to make it, but I'm looking forward to catching the recording once I wake up!

PlugabugzJuly 09, 2011

I'm going to be somewhere where i don't have broadband and will try to stream a little from my phone if i can.

CericJuly 09, 2011

Swimming ran long I hope I make it back in time to not totally miss and call in.

I can't see the chat box...puke!

ShyGuyJuly 09, 2011

SundoulosJuly 09, 2011

Thanks for taking my call, guys.  It was fun!  I have a tendency to talk way too fast and stutter when I'm on the spot. 

CericJuly 09, 2011

I got mentioned, yay, and called boring :P.

Since I missed my shot to do it live, I'd like to do something here:

I really enjoyed listening to it. I loved how the majority of the chatbox was a small group of us. xD I think there should be more of these, maybe every couple months or so. And not just as a RFN thing though, make it all of NWR.

Damn. I couldn't make it live, so I'm excited about hearing a recording. There is no doubt in my mind that it was awesome.

CericJuly 10, 2011

I probably enjoy the chat more then the episode in a way because chat why listening makes so much more sense then what I normally do and put those down afterwards.  Be interesting to have a certain chat streaming time like a movie broadcast.

happyastoriaJuly 10, 2011

DAMN!!!! I forgot about this!!!!!!!  :@ I would have been there!!! I'm so pissed off at myself.

UltraClaytonJuly 10, 2011

When will the recording be up?

criffoJuly 10, 2011

The chat was great. xD if only it could be Put with the recording.

If someone saved a copy of all of it could be posted.

UltraClayton, the live call-in recording is already included with Episode 250, which you can download right now with the links above.


I would bet that Aaron has the chat log, if no one else. I'll ask if he can upload that for us.
