TAKING OVER E01 – Wrestling Heroes + Villains

The very first installment of that thing that I teased you about a couple of weeks ago is ready!

My brother, Dom (aka The Fat Lantern) and I have been having some pretty cool conversations about some of the stuff we blog about, and we thought it would be kind of fun to document the conversations we have. It’s not a podcast; it’s more of an audio blog post. It’s not something that’s going to take a large portion out of your day, or that you have to go crazy to download, or whatever.

We’re going to keep them short and (too) sweet, and we’re going to put them up on youtube. This gives everyone the ultimate portability, as most mobile phones and tablets can access youtube fairly seamlessly. It also leaves it open to one day expanding this into actual videos.

In the first conversation, Dom and I talk about social media and how some of the most legendary pro wrestlers are using the social media. It was a fun thing to put together, and we don’t really think you need to be a wrestling fan to understand most of what we’re talking about. Of course, there are lots of little touches (for example, the bed music) that are sort of Easter Eggs that the our true friends and fans are going to appreciate.

So enjoy the first episode of TAKING OVER with derryX and The Fat Lantern, and feel free to leave us comments on what you think, either about what we’re saying, or about what we’re doing. We want this to become something that you guys keep coming back for, so your involvement in making it grow, expand, and improve is going to be crucial!

(And there’s a little treat in there for those of you who watch the whole thing. You don’t want to miss this!)
