  1. Interview with an Angel

    Interview with an Angel

    First, please pretend that I didn’t skip a month due to Game Day. Have you done that? Awesome! This month, I’m joined by Lora, who plays a very important role in the Extra Life community: Tori’s Angel. Tori’s Angels are the names given to the volunteers that make Extra Life United, our wonderful annual meeting of Extra Lifers, happen. This name also extends virtually to volunteers that help moderate the official Extra Life Discord. Lora takes part in both of these roles. Much of our discussion centers upon the work done at Extra Life United, but we also chat about her Extra Life journey and also the work she does musically with Clearly Guilty, who you heard during my Game Day breaks this past year. I want to thank Lora for joining me in this awesome conversation and highly suggest tossing an Extra Life donation to this Angel on her Extra Life page. This is a public episode.

    Extra Voices: Diving in the with Garbo Gang

    For this month’s Extra Voices, I have hit yet another unique type of content creator: a VTuber. When my guest, Blair, streams, she does so as a lovable raccoon version of herself. In this episode, she talks about how she got into VTubing and how she’s integrated it into her Extra Life campaign. Wether she’s spinning blocks in Tetris 99 or taking a dive into one of her favorite games, Blair’s infectious, joyous personality shines through in everything she does. Hell, you’ll be able to hear it yourself in this episode. Find all of Blair’s socials (and Extra Life campaign) here. As with all my guests, I highly recommend subscribing and following her everywhere you can! This is a public episode.

    Exploring the Persona of Summer Rain

    On this episode of Extra Voices, I’m joined by Summer Rain, aka weebwitched. Summer is the first cosplayer and singer that I’ve had on the show because yes, she does both. Find out how she started this unique combination and how she got involved with Extra Life as you enjoy cuts from her Persona 5 concert from last weekend’s MiracleCon. This is a public episode.

    A Tale of JNCOs & Spite

    Today, on a very special episode of Extra Voices, I feature a guest that has nothing to do with Extra Life. Ryan Nanni, of the Shutdown Fullcast and Every Day Should Be Saturday (RIP), joins me to talk about their annual Charity Bowl benefitting New American Pathways. The expertly crafted image above (for those of you reading the show notes on Podcast mediums, click here) features one of Ryan’s cohosts and founders of EDSBS, Spencer Hall. Why is he wearing 50-inch JUNCOs? It’s a charity incentive unlike any other…all because Spencer refuses to shoot a basketball. I wanted Ryan on the show how their crew has grown a wonderous community of college football nuts and channeled our innate spite into good humored fun for a great cause. Yep, that’s the tie-in every Extra Lifer is familiar with: a grassroots communal effort to raise money mixed with silliness and fun that each of our individual communities love. Did I make this non-Extra Lifer play D20 questions despite learning what Extra Life was pretty much right before the show? Yes. Did it matter? Probably not. Oh, and I get to detail how I completely derailed a game of Simon Says during Extra Life United. This might all make sense when you listen. It might not too. That’s par for the Fullcast course.

  5. Crossing the Northern Border

    Crossing the Northern Border

    The Extra Voices podcast machine has laid dormant for far too long! I’m happy to hop back in the saddle featuring the first Canadians to grace the pod: KaptainKirk and StressfulGengar of the Extra Life Winnipeg Guild. We chat about how they got started with Extra Life, how their guild formed, and some of the stories and memories that they’ve made throughout the years through Extra Life—including a story about a streaming marathon that is so crazy that I’d never dream of attempting it! Make sure to follow the Winnipeg Guild on Twitter as well as Twitch. They stream every Thursday, typically a couple hours before I do, so go check them out! You can also follow KaptainKirk on his personal Twitter and Twitch and StressfulGengar on Twitter and Twitch as well! This is a public episode.

  6. Stay Frosty

    Stay Frosty

    Heroes, I am pleased to bring you the latest episode of Extra Voices, featuring Frosty, aka the World-First-Race-Guy of Final Fantasy XIV and the host of the weekly MogTalk podcast. As an avid FFXIV player, I get extremely hyped for the world first races of the game’s toughest content. Not because I ever participate—that’s a whole other level that I do not have the time, and likely the skill, to devote to. What I look forward to are the events that Frosty puts together: streaming groups, keeping a leaderboard updated, and creating a full broadcast that gets better and better every time he does it. Not only are his race streams great to watch, they raise money for Extra Life, with the latest event raising over $56,000!!! This is a great episode to not just celebrate Frosty’s success and get a peak behind the curtain, but it’s a fantastic listen to for any fundraiser and content creator. You’ll hear about the importance of not just finding and building a community, but how to grow and capitalize when you find that sweet spot. It’s also a must-listen for anyone thinking about doing content creation full-time as Frosty has just started that journey himself—as a new dad no less. I can’t thank Frosty enough for taking the time to chat. Please be sure to check out his weekday streams, and weekly MogTalk show, on his Twitch channel. Oh, and feel free to add on to his massive fundraising number for funsies. This is a public episode.

    Just a HappyMaxident

    Extra Voices has now returned in its original, proper fashion: talking with other Extra Lifers! My first guest of 2023 is Max, aka happymaxidents. This is Max’s ninth year doing Extra Life in support of Penn State Children’s in Hersey, PA. He also has a very personal reason of why he got involved: his own story. Max’s experience and witnessing how the Children’s Miracle Network helped not just him, but his family in their time of need, shows just how important the donations to Extra Life are and in ways that you may not even think of. Plus, it helped inspire his career, which was a big surprise to me! You never know what will happen when you bring an Extra Lifer on. I hope you are inspired by Max’s story, enjoy his unique incentives, and his story about creating the Golden Gamers who have raised over $55,000 to Extra Life. Follow Max on Instatgram, find him in the Extra Life Discord, and, most importantly, donate to his campaign today! This is a public episode.

    Game Day 2022 Replay - Reunited with Shane

    Well, I guess I’m going to have to stop being podcast lazy and get fresh episodes up because the final replay of my 2022 Game Day is here. This interview features my old Her Loyal Sons podcasting co-host Shane. After spending a few years chatting about Notre Dame football, college football, and casting NCAA ‘14 sims, even the most loyal listeners will get to experience us talk about stuff we usually don’t. Like complaining about the state of the US National Men’s Team in the World Cup because we both watched them get bounced right before we went live. Other important topics discussed: how we consume Notre Dame and college football in our podcast retirement days and, most importantly, Pokemon. This is a public episode.
