Audiences can expect new episodes to follow every one or two weeks.“This has been a very exciting week" said Jolly Blackburn, original creator of the series, "First the came the announcement that Knights of the Dinner Table will be adapted as an off-Broadway play, now our beloved characters are jumping onboard the podcasting craze.""It was the logical next step for us to take," added David S. Kenzer, president of Kenzer and Company. "When we first heard of pocasting we knew that we had to be the FIRST gamer comic to jump on board, breaking new ground.  The popular KODT Live Readings at conventions have drawn large crowds for years. We're hoping to bring that same magic to podcasting. It's a good fit.”Kenzer and Company plans to evolve Radio Free KODT into a radio magazine of sorts, with regular episodes featuring readings of both classic and new KODT strips, interviews with gaming celebrities, product reviews, gamer humor and more. The first three installments are being billed as "Beta Episodes" while the KODT D-Team learn the ropes and hone their skills. Friends, readers and even family members have been recruited to help out with the recording sessions."We plan on having fun with this. None of us consider ourselves voice actors or radio personalities. But we're not going to let that stop us. We're just going to have a good time and try to make each episode better than the last," explained Brian "the sixth knight" Jelke. "Our primary goal is to entertain our loyal readers who have supported Knights of the Dinner Table for almost 15 years," Jolly said. "Radio Free KODT is a way of giving them what they love in another venue.  With over a million and a half copies of Knights of the Dinner Table in print we feel like we owe them.  We also have a more sinister reason for jumping on the podcast bandwagon. We want to expose the series to new readers. Podcasting has the potential to do that in a major way."   Those wanting to experience Radio Free KODT on their MP3 players, iPods or computers can do so by pointing their browsers to <a href="http://www.kenzerco.com" target="_blank">http://www.kenzerco.com</a>.  You can also subscribe to Radio Free KODT via iTunes.  In addition, Radio Free KODT is featured on The Sci-Fi PodCast Network at http://www.tsfpn.com/."  “The first episode has been well received.” Jolly explained, “There’s a kind of magic happening here. This is going to be a fun ride.” ======Yep, that's right!  We've gotten into the podcast thing!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  And the first BETA episode is up!RFKODT (Radio Free KoDT) podcasts will feature gamer content in 20 to 30 minute episodes. At least two a month - with the hopes of doing them weekly.The first few podcasts will be considered 'betas' as we ease into things. Once we feel we have a good format and feel for the show we'll move to the next thing.  The primary focus, like the magazine, will be on KoDT strips and related content. Everything else is backup material and filler.  Of course we'll also have a few product annoucments and company updates as well as plugs for the <a href="http://www.kenzerco.com/" target="_blank">website</a>/<a href="http://www.kenzerco.com/xcart/customer/home.php" target="_blank">online store</a>.The current plan is to present readings of favorite KODT strips (simliar to the live readings but with a little more professional touch.).I'd also like to present dramatic readings of such things as Jo Jo Zeke's introduction to the Player Handbook, readings of classic Gary Speak from the HM books, of various Parting Shots (such as How to Annoy a Game Vendor).  In addition there will be interviews with KenzerCo staffers, freelancers and friends. Occasionally interviews with gaming celebs outside the company.How do you listen to them?   Well, you need a program that allows you to fetch them. iTunes is our personal favorite. You'll need the latest version for Windows or OSX. You can get it here fore free: <a href="http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/" target="_blank">http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/</a> To catch our podcasts using iTunes all you have to do is install the software, turn it on and go to our <a href="http://www.kenzerco.com/" target="_blank">main page</a> and click the "Add to iTunes" button clearly visible on the right.  RFKODT will automatically download to itunes. As each new episode is posted, iTunes should automatically recognize it and download it (assuming you have preferences set to do so). NOTE: You need ITunes version 4.9 for podcasting. The other popular program is called ipodder. You can download that one here: <a href="http://ipodder.sourceforge.net/index.php" target="_blank">http://ipodder.sourceforge.net/index.php</a> There are also dozens of others out there and new ones hitting the streets everyday.
