A few weeks back, one of our readers commented and said that they’d like to get a rundown of what happens on Fireside Chat each week if they can’t listen in live. I apologize because I haven’t really had time to do this for you guys. Recently, Fireside Chat launched their own website and they also put up highlights of their show from earlier in the week. Awesome, because now I can just post this!

Listen to the highlight above where we have a good laugh about a bunch of extras that added themselves to the IMDB full cast list including a mysterious man named Trexler Hoverhound.

This is that cool announcement you’ve been waiting for! You may have heard of Andrew Sims, one of the original masterminds behind ‘Mugglenet,’ the #1 Harry Potter fan website. He has made many amazing podcasts, and since his departure from Mugglenet, he has started ‘Hypable,’ a great website where fans share news with other fans from many different fandoms! Now, Hypable’s ‘Hunger Games’ podcast ‘Hypable’s Hunger Games Chat’ will be merging with ‘Jabberjays,’ to create ‘Hunger Games Chat,’ and I hope you enjoy it! It works out really well since Andrew and I both live in LA now so I can head over to his apartment to record. Huge thank you to Andrew for doing this with us, I think it’ll be fun. They’ll be monthly for now but as news picks up we will pick them up more frequently.
