We have launched the website for “Bite Back - The Blood Ties podcast”.

You can find it at http://www.bloodtiespodcast.org.

We are already hard at work on our first episode and it should be available very soon.

To keep up on the podcast you can monitor that website and you can also sign-up for the email updates as well.

We have a discussion forum available where folks can discuss the podcast episodes and other general Blood Ties topics as well. You can find the forums here.

I wanted to let everyone know that we are making great progress on the Blood Ties podcast project.

I’ve setup a private forum so the crew members and other contributors can discuss creating and running the podcast. We also have a Wiki that will allow us to collaborate on things. I’ve been exchanging emails and having Skype calls with several people who are interested in helping out.

Not exactly sure when we will have our first episode available but we get closer each day so please stay tuned.

A few important points that folks have asked about…

To learn more please visit our podcast page located here.

I’ve created a quick (3 questions) and easy (multiple choice with comments) survey about the idea of launching ‘Bite Back - the Blood Ties podcast’.

It should take less than 2 minutes to take the survey and your feedback would be greatly appreciated. You do NOT have to give your name or email address so you can take the survey anonymously.

The survey will be available through Wed May 7th.

You can take the survey here.

Even if you’ve already told me that you’re interested in helping out please take the survey anyway so all the responses are in one place. Thank you.

As many fans know I’m a crew member on The Signal which is a podcast about Firefly and Serenity. One of our regular segments is the ‘Scifi Review’ where our writers look at other TV shows that they believe Firefly fans (aka Browncoats) will enjoy. In a recent episode we did a review of Blood Ties!

The Signal crew has graciously allowed me to share the entire review segment right here on our site!

This review is a great introduction to the TV show for new viewers and regular viewers will enjoy it as well. It does contain some very minor spoilers and, in my opinion, they will not impact your enjoyment of the show. This review was written and edited by Signal crew member Jill Arroway.

Just use the Play () button below to begin listening to this 15 minute audio review. Just be sure your speakers are turned up so you can hear it.

The music sample at the end of the recording is the song “Live Forever” which is sung by Tamara Rhodes with music and lyrics by James Jandrisch. Viewers in the US didn’t get to enjoy this opening theme. To view the non-US opening with this song you can go here.

If for some reason the player above doesn’t work for you then you can go to this page at The Signal’s website to download or play the entire episode. The Blood Ties review starts around the 51:30 mark.

In order to help further our efforts to get a renewal of Blood Ties we’re also going to start a new podcast. It will be called…

Bite Back - The Blood Ties podcast

We’re just getting the technical side of things in place so the first episode is still several days away. The initial plan is for the podcast episodes to be posted here on SaveBloodTies.org and the folks at Bloodlines have been gracious enough to give us our own forum for our podcast discussions. The full announcement is located here.
