Episode 1
The five podcasters introduce themselves for the first time on a podcast (the information from this, and more stats on them, can be found in the "RAFCasters" section), and discussed the general idea of how this and future podcasts would go.
Breaking it down into segments:
- News
- Fanfiction Spotlight
- Role Play Spotlight
- Book Review and Discussion of Key Points
- Ask Jax (first Episode only)
- Interview (optional)
For the Book Review, the five main 'Casters discussed (Tim, Anna, Kenny, and Matt, and Jen was completely quiet because she didn't have a mic at that time, but she was typing private messages to them), what else, book #1 of the Animorphs series, The Invasion. Key points discussed:
- Morphing ability, pro’s and con’s (turn into any animal touched, time limit, the animal’s natural instincts taking over, etc)
- Cassie’s ability to get them a variety of morphs because of her parents’ professions (one at the wildlife rescue center, the other at the zoo, where they will frequently go for morphs from now on when they need something new)
- The Sharing as a front for the yeerk organization.
- Jake finding out Tom is a controller, and how that brings the group together
- Tobias’ affinity for the hawk morph, and his family situation
- The first yeerk pool battle, and how it goes. Cassie being captured by the controller cop. One host freed, but Tom still under yeerk command. All barely make it out alive.
- Tobias stuck in hawk morph, the effect of that on the group, on Jake, on Tobias himself other than the obvious not human stuff.
- The Ultimate KASU - Jake being able to talk in thought-speech when NOT in morph
The news for that day included a (slightly) failed attempt at breaking RAF's Record for number of users online at one time, a discussion about why that attempt didn't work out so well, other records broken that day instead.
RP's and Fanfics discussed:
- Fanfic: Dinosaur Nothlit's The Difference - RAFClassic
- Fanfic: Lauren black's The One Chronicles - RAFClassic
- Fanfic: QueenOSheba/Almighty Queen's Resolution Chronicles - RAFClassic, and RAF2
- RP: Revamp:Flipside - RAFClassic
