Recently Me, Scott, Obsidian and Andrew, the crew of Extralife
Radio, were interviewed by Ryan Clouse from Tribune Media for a
nationally syndicated column.
The column will be available to close to 1 million readers nationwide in the US.
Here is part 2 of the 2 part article.
For
those who missed last week’s comic high jinks with the charming geeks
at ExtraLife Radio, ELR is a podcast, or Internet-bound audio show,
created by the brilliant and slightly warped webcomic creator Scott
Johnson. His rag tag crew of geek savants includes webcomic creators
Brian Dunaway and Sergio “Obsidian” VillaIsaza and tech expert Andrew
Konietzky.
What’s your role on ExtraLife Radio?
Brian Dunaway:
I consider myself kind of the straight guy. I try to keep these guys in
line. You don’t see me sending the messages behind the scenes like,
“Who’s that? Who’s eating their microphone?”
Andrew Konietzky:
(I’m a) wealth of useless knowledge. Someone might say something around
me … and I’ll be like, “That’s just like this, from this movie or this
video game.” And they’re like, “How did you know that?”
Scott Johnson: I’m
the passionate one, the one that really wants to see this stuff happen
and see it work. My goal, if anything, is to be the engine behind it.
… (Isaza) brings a very unique perspective because he comes from a
very different part of the world. He’s incredibly funny without having
to try very hard, and he’s definitely created a persona for himself on
the show.
Andrew, being a fan, why are you so dedicated to ELR?

AK:
You know what?! Considering I don’t get any money for this, that’s a
good question! No … I enjoy the community on the forums. I enjoy the
people that call the show and I love doing the show. It’s a blast.
Scott, where do you feel your de-mographic lies?
SJ:
I do skew toward the mid- to late-20s, early-30s demographic. Not just
because I’m in that demo, but because I like the more mature audience.
I think you can be mature but still be a kid at heart.
The
work of Johnson and the ELR crew has set the bar for podcasters
everywhere. Their dedication to theircraft and to their fans is
unwavering, which hopefully will give the show the long life it
deserves. Someone once said that if you give 1,000 monkeys 1,000
typewriters, they’ll eventually write “Hamlet. ”Well, if you give four
geeks four mi-crophones, they’ll create something just as wonderful. Be
