Episode #0004! VegettoEX and Meri bring on Scott Melzer (This is Otakudom, S.T.E.A.M., This is DBZ Life) to talk about DragonBall's place in other areas of anime fandom. From anime music videos to fan parodies, how is DBZ portrayed, how is it used, and what is it like to use it? What is it like to be a DBZ fan both on the creative and general-viewer end of things? We also drill Scott and Meri on all things favorite in DBZ! Referenced sites:

Whee! Go ahead and grab it. Big thanks to godofchaos for hosting the *four*episodes, now. This episode is significantly longer than the ones we've done, previously. I both apologize for this and encourge you all to enjoy it (strangely enough). The topics covered may be something a lot of you aren't all that familiar with, but hopefully since it involves DragonBall in some really neat ways, you'll be able to pull something out of it and at least gain some kind of understanding (be it a new or enhanced understanding) of where this is all coming from. Seriously, there's some awesome stuff in here.
If you *do* happen to be of the ADD variety (in all honesty, the episode's a little over an hour long, so I wouldn't blame you ), we begin with introductions and a talk about DBZ and its use/portrayal in AMVs, move on to fan parodies ~28:00, and then into general fandom (of Scott's) ~45:30.
As a special bonus for all of you, godofchaos has also thrown up "This is DBZ Life" for direct download (right-click, "Save As"; MPEG-1, 320x240, 56.6 MB). If you're an AMVorg member, you can also download it from its respective entry. "Live and Let Die" has no digital version (Scott will eventually remaster it once the rest of the footage is actually available).
Please note that godofchaos set up a new DNS entry for hosting the files. If the link isn't working (well, any podcast-related links), it simply means that your ISP hasn't gotten the propogated IP. It usually fixes itself within 24 hours, so just try back in a little bit if you're having problems!
