Radio Free Equestria (Update Episode 2!)

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



Episode 2 (New!)

This sounds interesting -- just like the article that was posted a week or so back about Equestrian Economy, and I enjoyed that.

I'll probably give it a listen once I'm done staring at the view counter.

IMO do they compare too much to reality

"Radio" is misspelled in the title, but cool post anyway.

t'was nice, interesting.

In other new ten million hits in a few hours.

This 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.

They 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!!!

Also, 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.

When I first saw the title I thought it was a Zerg reference.

Considering 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 >.>

Curttehmurt said...

that was excellent

PONIES ARE COMMUNISTS
IT 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!

I'm pretty sure Equestria is Authoritarian Capitalism.

Also, I'm pretty sure the Rock Farmers are miners. :I

Also 2K away from 10 mil!!

We're analyzing the economic and political systems of a world of magical talking ponies. It all seems a bit silly, dontcha think?

LESS THAN ONE THOUSEND!!!!!!

And 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.

It'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.

yay

Sterling_Facade said...

I was hoping it would stay frozen. I guess adding another number works too.

Anonymous said...

Right 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.

Asgard314 said...

So... 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

10 MILLION!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
PINKIE 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.

SomeGuy said...

This was pretty fascinating, real food for thought. Very professionally done. I look forward to viewing future discussions.

On 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.

Nerds.

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!

Xeonneo said...

Poni-ism....

I'm watching every other show of this series because of that.

DissonantNight said...

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.

Anonymous said...

The 10 million hits banner: full of win!

one 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

I'm not going to restate my insanely long comment that I posted on the video's page. Just go find 'Mattatatta92' in the comments.

As 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

Anonymous said...

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.

And 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.

Ponies: Making politics fun.

LOL THIS IS AWESOME!

Kujiiro said...

These 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.

Anonymous said...

@AnonymousYou're assuming Equestria is spherical. It could be a disk.

Also, for those of you who feel this is too in-depth, it's nothing compared to the Geeknights MLP forum thread.

Apreche said...

People have been pointing out some errors we have made, and also some of you are making errors. Keep it coming.

I 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.

Rym said...

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. ;^)

Anonymous said...

@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!

Anonymous said...

That was Good. I Hope we get More! XD

Versilaryan said...

I'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

Heavy Weapons Pony said...

These guys are great, and the fact that they could discuss this SO SERIUSLY made me laugh quite a few times :)

Apreche said...

@VersilaryanGood catch! I'll investigate that taxes line.

Rym said...

Due 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.

Garrick said...

I would abso-freakin'-lutely love to get in on this, lol.

NinesTempest said...

As 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.

HiddenBrony said...

When I saw Captain Pony and podcast thrown together, I couldn't help but think of Show Me Your News. Nostalgia...

Oh right, should give it a listen, I'd bet.
