Geeknights has started up a new radio show, all about Friendship is Magic. These guys are full on professionals, so it's really well done. I'll treat this like the other posts, and update it as they add more episodes.
You can find the channel
here, or the embed after the break!
Also some falcon pony, since I'll never get another chance to post it.
Episode 1

This sounds interesting -- just like the article that was posted a week or so back about Equestrian Economy, and I enjoyed that.
ReplyDeleteI'll probably give it a listen once I'm done staring at the view counter.
PONIES
ReplyDeleteIMO do they compare too much to reality
ReplyDelete"Radio" is misspelled in the title, but cool post anyway.
ReplyDeletewtf is Raido?
ReplyDeletet'was nice, interesting.
ReplyDeleteIn other new ten million hits in a few hours.
ReplyDeleteThis is D.Shadows the annoying, despised and lonely eye monster bringing you news that everyone should hear.
Also look out for edible blob monsters on the interstate, they are easily killed and are considered an endangered species. They keep getting stomped on by ponies for their delicious jelly.
MONK
ReplyDeleteThey describe this as a "Pilot" in the description, so everypony that loves this thing as much as I do, thumbs up, subscribe, and comment so they know we want MOAR!!!
ReplyDeleteAlso, COUNTER. LESS THAN 5K LEFT. BREAKING MY F5 KEY. HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG
Did I just watch a 13 min argument about whether or not ponies are Communists? O.o I feel manly.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw the title I thought it was a Zerg reference.
ReplyDeleteConsidering I made a Rainbow Dash's falcon punch comic a few days ago I'm wondering if that had something to do with our falcon pony here >.>
ReplyDeletethat was excellent
ReplyDeletePONIES ARE COMMUNISTS
ReplyDeleteIT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW
Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if Equestria was all just one big experiment that Celestia put in motion, just for a laugh.
HYES!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure Equestria is Authoritarian Capitalism.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm pretty sure the Rock Farmers are miners. :I
Also 2K away from 10 mil!!
ReplyDeleteWe're analyzing the economic and political systems of a world of magical talking ponies. It all seems a bit silly, dontcha think?
ReplyDeleteLESS THAN ONE THOUSEND!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, yes it is. But in a GOOD way! :D

I really enjoyed the podcast these guys did on MLP a while back. I reckon Equestria's runs along the lines of somewhere like Norway.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty socialist, and stuff like government programmes aren't seen as intrinsically bad or interventionist or whatever, but there's still a pretty large degree of personal freedom and egalitarianism.
I don't think there's a bureau of central planning or a pony politburo or anything.
This is made of awesome.
ReplyDeleteOHGODCOUNTERSTOPPED
ReplyDeleteHAPPY 10MILLIONTH VIEW EVERYPONY!!!!!!!!!! Anyone else see the counter freeze @9999999?
ReplyDeleteReload counter - it got updated... so I'm assuming we all missed the screencap becuase we can't reload in .1 seconds.
ReplyDeleteCURSES!
In other news, WOOOOOOOO!!!! TEN MILLION!!! WE DID IT!!! WE DID IT!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYAAAAAYYYY!!! 10,000,000!!! Congratulations!!!!
ReplyDeleteONWARD TO 100 MILLION!
ReplyDelete@Asgard314
ReplyDeleteI did and took a pic of it.
10,000,000 :O, cheers.
ReplyDeleteWhere is our pony rapture? :(
ReplyDelete10,000,000!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteyay
I was hoping it would stay frozen. I guess adding another number works too.
ReplyDeleteRight off the bat everything is either capitalist or socialist. I wish people who knew a thing about politics, especially historical politics, would do something like this.
ReplyDeleteSo... What do ya'll think the comic'll be about? Hmmm... *Sees the whole cast of characters dressed as characters from Umineko* If only... T.T
ReplyDelete6:43PM Eastern time
ReplyDelete6/6/11
EqD reached 10,000,000 page views
The Apocalypse has begun
10 MILLION!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
ReplyDeletePINKIE PIE!!!! DROP THE BALLOONS!!!!
Also, in attempt to keep comments on topic, I developed a serious twitch when Scott kept saying "pegasuses".
FOR THE LOVE OF CELESTIA, IT'S "PEGASI".
I believe you guys are over-thinking a kids show.
ReplyDeleteThis was pretty fascinating, real food for thought. Very professionally done. I look forward to viewing future discussions.
ReplyDeleteOn a separate note. 10 Million page views Every Pony! Wow the counter is still going. I guess it just automatically adds on the extra digits. Now lets push for a billion hits.
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteNerds.
I love all of us. We're all nerds.
Congratulations ED! We reached ten million! This calls for a party as Pinkie Pie would say!
ReplyDeletePoni-ism....
ReplyDeleteI'm watching every other show of this series because of that.
Now that we've reached 10 mil, will we still celebrate every million, or increase it to every two million, because at the rate of our growth we might start hitting a million every day or two.
ReplyDeleteThe 10 million hits banner: full of win!
ReplyDeleteone thing i think they should have mentioned was that if the night lasted forever and the sun never rose. that on one half of equestria, the sun would never set
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to restate my insanely long comment that I posted on the video's page. Just go find 'Mattatatta92' in the comments.
ReplyDeleteAs you can probably tell, I went to town on this, I'm probably just as much of a nerd as those guys. I can't wait for their next vid
If you liked that, and don't want to wait for episode two, here's a link to the episode of their podcast where they discussed it. I haven't listened to it yet, but I assume it's awesome going by how awesome their video was.

ReplyDeleteAnd for people who don't like/care about anime, they don't actually start talking about MLP:FiM at 15:50, so you might want to skip ahead.
I'd rather not integrate economy government and ponies in my mind at this pace.
ReplyDeletePonies: Making politics fun.
ReplyDeleteLOL THIS IS AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteThese guys are on the freakin' ball. I can't believe the pristine perfection I'm hearing in this discussion of pony economy. I am so watching these guys.
ReplyDelete@AnonymousYou're assuming Equestria is spherical. It could be a disk.
ReplyDeleteAlso, for those of you who feel this is too in-depth, it's nothing compared to the Geeknights MLP forum thread.
People have been pointing out some errors we have made, and also some of you are making errors. Keep it coming.
ReplyDeleteI do just want to say that Equestria is clearly without a doubt a country, and not the name for the world. There is tons of evidence in the show to support this.
Also, so you people know, we actually recorded a bunch of these shows before the season was over, and it just takes time to do post-production. However, some of our information might be off because the season wasn't over yet. We'll do more episodes once we finish producing the ones we've already recorded.
The first three pilot episodes are, as Apreche pointed out, very old. They were recorded well before the first season ended. Starting with the fourth episode of the pilots, you'll see more up-to-date commentary. ;^)
ReplyDelete@Apreche Don't fret about the errors. You still have our love, and I, for one, am looking forward to what else you have to say!
ReplyDeleteThat was Good. I Hope we get More! XD
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure that somepony tells Twilight Sparkle, "I'll do your taxes!" when she gets mobbed by ponies towards the end of Ticket Master. =P
ReplyDeleteThese guys are great, and the fact that they could discuss this SO SERIUSLY made me laugh quite a few times :)
ReplyDelete@VersilaryanGood catch! I'll investigate that taxes line.
ReplyDeleteDue to the overwhelming response, we'll definitely continue with the show. Expect the next pilot episode to go out on Sunday. This one is a first look at Pony Magic.
ReplyDeleteI would abso-freakin'-lutely love to get in on this, lol.
ReplyDeleteAs I said on youtube, I think the second episode was MUCH more on topic and relevant, and just funnier in general. OVerall just a great show.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw Captain Pony and podcast thrown together, I couldn't help but think of Show Me Your News. Nostalgia...
ReplyDeleteOh right, should give it a listen, I'd bet.
