Jethro Thule: the massively multiplayer online podcast
Some of us really prefer that the old school “choose your own adventure” style of entertainment just stay in the form of thin easily purchasable pocket books. However, one can’t stop the march of the machines, everything’s getting a Web 2.0 make over now, and that includes the “Choose your own” format.
From the folks responsible for Massively Online Gamer (MOG) we now have “Jethro Thule: Zombie Killer”, the first ever choose your own adventure podcast. Each week the audience gets to decide the next step of the story by making their opinions heard at their MOG Army site.
Originally part of the MOG podcast, “Jethro Thule: Zombie killer” was one of the most popular portions of the show. Well, it seems that all that popularity warranted a spin-off. Producer Todd Zelin had this to say:
We all agreed that Jethro needed an upgrade …Initially Ryan Verniere, co-host of MOG, would read that weekÂ’s installment during the taping of the weekly show. On part 5 of Jethro, we started to pre-record and sound-designing the segment. After an awesome response from the fan-base we commissioned artist and MOG fan, Jake Harold, to draw story-boards and comic book like panels to illustrate the story each week.
