Yeeeeeeeeeah. So I kinda changed stuff up a bit.TL;DR: my web hosting was about to renew its annual contract thingie, and I punched out while there was still time and moved everything elsewhere for various reasons. Ironically, not cost related reasons. Which hopefully will not end up biting me in the kiester.
Hopefully, though, they’re good reasons. You know me and big sweeping decisions. I am cognizant that they are not always fruitful. But change is learning, learning is growth, and growth is better than stagnation, which is where we’ve been for the past couple years. So this is happening. This is the bedrock upon which I will build the new YnrohKeeg.com. It’s not going to be what you’re used to. By that I mean, you’ve maybe been here once, and it was half-done. In the near future, it will hopefully be a better-looking, half-done affair. Because to finish a thing is to end a thing. And that’s sad.
So while I hate to ask you to give me time (again, we all know how I am), I nevertheless ask exactly that. I can only do this in my scant spare time, but it’s something I wanna do, if for no other reason that to see if I can. Stay tuned, friends.
I’m having trouble downloading the early episodes on any source, and, well, I do tend to begin at the beginning. I pray that you don’t force me to download iTunes, which I have successfully managed to avoid for my whole life.
I’ll look into that this weekend! Thanks for letting me know! Heard about this on Twitter as well, so it’s a Known Issue™… Just a matter of digging into the feed and seeing what the hell I screwed up. 😉
Actually thinking of making an “Audiobook Version”, without all of the credits and campfires and stuff. If that does happen (holding your breath is not advised), I’ll have it available here!
Don’t worry Rich, we’re holding out that you get round to Episode 18 at some point but take your time man, like you said, spare time is short and you’ve gotta focus on the more important things! Looking forward to the future my dude, keep on trucking!

Thanks for keeping the faith, my man! The Quest is very near and dear to my heart, and I can’t wait to get back to it!
Shoutout to my favorite podcast!
I recently downloaded a quest mod and got back into Skyrim. I thought I’d listen to Keeg’s story again, and panicked when my podcast app (podcast addict on Android) wouldn’t download or play.
I’m glad to see you’re still keeping Keeg’s quest available, and I’m excited to see he’s still on your mind!
To everyone who reads this; I listen to about 2 hours of podcasts a day, and this is hands down my favorite. Great character development, hilarious story, talented voice acting, and spot on audio quality with a smart use of the soundtrack; you can’t ask for more.
Rich, you’ve given us hours of great entertainment and I can’t thank you enough.
I think you’re pretty great.
Aw, shucks. You got me blushin’ over here! Thanks so much for your kind words!
I have a fairly long commute to work each day, so I too listen to a boatload of podcasts. I know how much of a pain it is where new ones don’t come out in a timely manner. I will try my utmost to get a new one out to you soon! Probably be a biggie. 😉
hey man,
this is one of the first podcasts i listened to , and its hands down one of the best.
it actually inspired me to try something of my own.
Having tried to create something myself i can appretiate your work even more
best wishes for the new year
Hey man! Sorry for the delay. I was stymied by my own damn Captcha that wouldn’t let me post to my own friggin’ site. Something about that doesn’t seem right! What kinda stuff are you working on??
I was working on something similar, its fun to mess around with audacity
But i couldn’t do voices, so i tried writing instead
(Which is kinda going along, even though its bad)
Stil waiting for your next episode!!
Take care
I tell you what… it’s a long but rewarding road, my friend. Mixing audio is a really weird art form. It takes forever, keeps you up at night, but for a while there, it makes you perceive the world differently. You close your eyes and hear stuff that’s going on… like Daredevil. And those little details find their way into your work, and they’re tiny little minutiae that don’t need to be there, but it just adds that extra layer of reality to what you’re doing. Subconsciously, they’ll notice. You’re taking your first steps into a larger world.
And voices don’t just happen! Practice in the car. Record yourself. Listen to an interview with some big actor, and pick out what makes their voice unique and try and duplicate it. Once you have that voice down, you can move on to the next, and you’ll be able to refer to the old one fairly effortlessly. Just another arrow in your quiver that you can whip out later!
