Every episode that I have listened to so far has started off with a message from earwolf in an advertising type of form. The music and the voice of the lady really draw you into keep listening even though it is an advertisement. The consistency of the same company advertising in each episode, also draws you into looking at what earwolf has to offer for podcasts each week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the podcast, they use the same medieval music in the background of each episode at certain points to help set the mood. Arnie\u2019s voice is such a strong podcasting voice for a comedy narrative because of the sound structure that it portrays.The music really helps to set the tone of the story as Arnie (the main character) sets the scene. In Episode 3, Season 1, Arnie refers to the listeners as \u201cFunts\u201d which he explains are fans of Chunt. He also says \u201cHey there, Babies!\u201d, I personally think that Arnie is trying to make relations with the listeners or help make them feel more welcome or included by trying to reach out with nicknames. He also might be making these nicknames as a joke for a good laugh from the listening audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After roughly four minutes of advertisements, the intro starts where in each episode the music is played, Arnie recaps why he is in Foon, and who he will be talking to on the show that week. I haven\u2019t listened to a lot of episodes, but in the ones I have listened to, Usidore has remained consistently the weird character. After the first episode, Chunt and Usidore became a part of the regular cast. Each episode after the first one, has had an additional guest. This week it is a potted talking flower. People move the flower to different locations and sometimes the flower will wake up and not know where she is. The flower uses explicit language that has not been used in past episodes. She is also very judgemental of Arnie and thinks he is being creepy and needs to chill out. When he is just nicely asking her questions. This episode is a little different because of the guest on the show. Chunt informs Arnie that in the world of Foon you should not piss off a wizard or a talking flower. To settle the mood a little bit the characters are going to play something kind of like a drinking game. In this game you compliment each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Usidore the wizard still acts out by yelling or mumbling to himself in the middle of the conversation, by doing so he is portrayed as the weird character. Usidore is raging on about how the characters should join him in his quest to defeat the dark lord who must not be named. Over the time period of the three weeks that they have been podcasting episodes Usidore the wizard has not been successful in gaining anyone to join him on his quest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this episode it felt a little more turned around compared to the other two I have listened to. Chunt, Usidore, and the Flower all start to make fun of Arnie. I feel that at some points it is justified to make fun of Arnie because of what he is saying about the Flower. On the other hand the Flower is using very vulgar language and isn\u2019t being very nice during the conversation.
