The Furry Orange Monster’s guide to Pyromancy…

So it’s me, Ditto, and now that I am level 28 and have made it to Marleybone and I think I’m doing a pretty good job, so I wanted to share some of my thoughts and strategies relating to the Fire School, also known as Pyromancy.

I will start off by telling you that if you want a REAL guide to fire school, try something like this Wizard101 Central guide – though I must admit I’m having a hard time finding other guides to playing Pyromancers, so I’ll work at making this a good one. Also, you can get a good list of fire spells at the Wizard 101 Wiki site, among other places…

Pyromancer Basics:
So to start off with, Pyromancers are all about damage. According to many official guides they are all about damage over time, but that really hasn’t been my experience. In fact, at level 28 I have no damage over time spells with me unless I’m fighting ice creatures, which are a special case that I’ll discuss later.
Pyromancer spells do lots of damage for lower pips compared to most other schools (Storm is a notable exception), but they have a drawback – accuracy. Standard damage spell accuracy of fire spells is 75% base, which means you’ve got a 1 in 4 chance of a fizzle, which is more like a 3 in 4 chance to fizzle if this is the spell you need to stay alive in a duel. Seems like that anyway.
Your early game spells consist of some good single shot spells – namely Firecat at level 1 and the much more impressive Sunbird at level 10. For damage over time you’ve got your fire elf at level 2, link (which also gives you a small heal over time) at level 12, and finally Heck Hound at level 18. None of these are particularly impressive, to be honest, and with the exception of Heck Hound I never got much use out of them. Heck Hound does have one impressive feature, however – it boosts damage based on how many pips you put into it, so you get 120 damage PER PIP over a 3 round period.
A good strategy I used with Heck Hound for a short time was this – If you’ve got a big fight that’s going to last a while (like a boss fight), I would cast 0 pip shields and fire blades until round 5 or 6 at least, take minimal damage, and then unleash a Heck Hound. 6 pips = 720 damage over 3 rounds, which is NOT bad… of course it uses 100% of your pips when you cast it, so you’re pretty weak after you cast it – make sure you pay attention there… if you’re low on health try to go for a heal BEFORE you cast Heck Hound.

Standard Tactics
So I think the most simple and easy to use tactics for fire are buff, buff, shoot. You cast your buffs (Fire Trap, Fire Blade, etc…) in the first two to three turns, then unleash your biggest, baddest damage spell. I haven’t come across many foes that could withstand that kind of damage in the early game. If you’ve got an appropriate shield and think the fight might go on for a while, then by all means shield up, but my strategy has always been focused on a quick fight – the less turns it lasts, the less damage I take. If you’re good with numbers you can figure out pretty easily what combination of buffs and damage spells are needed to take the enemy out quickly, so don’t worry about throwing every damage buff in your deck out there for a regular street fight – if you can take the evil snowmen out with a fire blade and a meteor strike then that’s all you need, fights over turn 3 or 4, move on to the next.

The Big Guns
I think the game changed completely for me at level 22 – that’s when I got Meteor Strike. Meteor Strike is a direct damage spell that hits ALL enemies in the dueling circle, so that if you’ve got it stacked right, you can take out up to 4 enemies in one shot. And it’s only 4 pips, so you can get it out early in a fight and end things quick – this is awesome for those ‘Go kill 8 Spiders’ type quests, you can make quick work of your enemies.
Of course I recently got another ‘big gun’ – I’m not sure what I think of it yet, though it did win me a boss fight in Krokotopia. This spell is ‘Immolate’ – it does 600 base damage, which is awesome, but it has the teensy drawback of also dealing 250 damage to YOU. AND if you’ve buffed the damage, that % buff applies not only to the 600 damage for your enemy, but also the 250 done to you. Yes – I’ve done over 300 damage to MYSELF with this spell – though you should have seen the other guy!
I DID find that you can go to the fairegrounds in Wizard City, where all the mini-games are, you can learn fire shield from Sabrina Greenstar. If you put fire shield on yourself before casting immolate you’ll do much less damage to yourself, while still doing maximum damage to your opponent. It seems a bit more advanced than other tactics, but so far it’s doing some pretty significant damage. You just really need to pay attention to your health before attempting it!

Buffing for Success
Once I had Meteor Strike things certainly went much quicker for me, but I found that at a base damage of only 305-345, it just didn’t have enough ‘oomph’ for my later Krokotpian adventures. Thankfully, a Pyromacers’ arsenal is augmented by a number of handy damage buff spells. In pure fire school buffs you get a fire blade (+35% damage, get at enrollment I think), a fire trap (+25% damage, get it from Professor Falmea at level 18) and WyldFire (+25% to ALL fire spells for the duration of the battle). In addition to these, in Krokotopia I was able to train at the Balance Tree on Krokosphynx Island and learned an elemental blade and an elemental trap, which give additional boosts to fire spells (as well as ice and storm), but cost one pip to cast. In this way, with the right deck and the right cards coming up, you can add a pretty significant damage boost to your meteor strike (or make Immolate do a massive amount of damage – be careful though!!) and take out most bosses; at least most that I’ve encountered so far, anyway.

Complimentary Spells
The ‘what’s the best secondary school’ discussion is one that has gone of for so long that I don’t really feel like I have anything significant to add – but that won’t stop me from talking about it! I’ve done a lot of research on this and used a lot of treasure cards and here is what I’ve found: The best Pyromancer secondary school depends heavily on your playstyle. If you’re a more conservative player, then Life gives you good heals and a nice absorb shield, while ice has the ‘Swiss Army Knife’ of defense, the tower shield. If you’re a more aggressive player interested in maximizing damage, then death school has the amazing Feint (+70% damage!!) and it has vampiric damage spells that grant you health equal to half the damage you do. The death school damage isn’t nearly as high as fire school, but being able to do damage AND heal simultaneously is nothing to sneeze at, especially when that base damage is boosted by 70% or more!

Special Situations
So there are some situations I’ve come across where the standard tactics and spells just didn’t work. The first of these was the dreaded Ice Spiders battle, but applies to any time you are fighting against Ice opponents. Not only do they have tower shields, but they ALSO have fire shields, and they know how to use them. I’ve been in a fight where my opponents cast a shield about every other turn, which makes for a very long, drawn out fight.
To combat this I got a great tip from a reader and ended up putting some fire elf cards back in my ‘fighting against ice creatures’ deck. One pip to cast and three shield-free turns to blast away at your opponent makes these fights much shorter, but you don’t really have time for building up for that ‘one big hit’ that I normally employ before the elf ends it run and the shields start to go back up. I just hit them with smaller damage spells more often and get through it pretty quickly – even fire cats can take out a boss if you’re tossing enough of them.
Another special situation is fighting against another fire school opponent. The reason for this, for anyone who doesn’t know, is that fire school gets a pretty healthy resist to other fire damage (probably why I don’t singe my fur all the time) and therefore any fire spells you cast at your fire opponent will do less damage – sometimes significantly less damage – than it’s base damage values. Thankfully, in the well trained Pyromancer’s arsenal there is another valuable weapon – the fire prism!
Fire Prism is a simple little spell that you get at level 7. It does one thing, but it does it very well – it converts fire damage to ice damage. This means that when you cast your fire spell, once it gets to your opponent is’ actually doing ICE damage! Woohoo!! Since ice damage gets a healthy BOOST against fire creatures, you’ll do even more damage than your base fire damage numbers.
A special note on this – since buffs/boosts are applied in the reverse order they were cast (first in last out) you should cast the prism BEFORE you cast your fire traps. If you do that, you’ll boost the fire damage, THEN convert all that boosted damage to ice. If you prism first, the fire trap won’t get tripped because the damage type at that time is actually ice.

In Closing
Well this article took on a life of it’s own, but I think it’s got some good info. Certainly not the be-all end-all of Pyromancer guides, but my own spin on the class, with my own opinions. All these things have worked for me in some way, and I think it’s a good overview of the class as I have experienced it, but these are all my observations – other pyromnacers will certainly have their own, and I’m sure there are a few Grandmaster pyros out there who could teach me a lot. But in the end, this is all about having fun, and I don’t think that how you play is nearly as important as making sure you’re having FUN while you’re playing!! So go out there any have a good time!!!

See you in the Spiral!
PLOX!!


Ditto’s weekly video blog

So here is my video blog this week – I talk about twitter – 115 followers as of this morning!! And my adoration of Felicia Day, plus a few other casual games I have been playing lately…


The Daring Adventures of Ditto – Episode 8

Here it is, The Daring Adventures of Ditto, Episode 8, featuring Ditto, his trusty companion Madame Jasmine, and of course, Miss Narrator… This segment originally aired on Ravenwood Radio Episode 22, available for download now… And speaking of Ravenwood Radio, if you like my Daring Adventures and Ravenwood Radio, why don’t you go over to iTunes and give Ravenwood Radio a great review!

Daring Adventures of Ditto, Episode 8! Listen now!


Ditto gets to Marleybone!!

I finally defeated Krokopatra and got the Spiral Key to Marleybone! I haven’t explored much yet, but it’s going to be really great, I can tell! It’s kind of dirty though, isn’t it? I guess then they say they need wizards to ‘clean up the town’ they mean with a broom, not a wand…


Ditto gets 100+ Twitter followers!

So today I noticed I had 98 followers on twitter, and I thought ‘Hey, wouldn’t it be cool to have 100 followers?’ and so I posted a tweet that said if I got 100 followers I would make a video thanking the 100th person. Well, that 100th person was Angel Winterbreeze, so thank you to Angel and all the other people who follow me – you are all great!!!

And speaking of people who follow Ditto – there is one other new follower tonight… Miss Narrator apparently wanted to get in on the Twitter action as well so you can now follow Miss Narrator on Twitter…


Words can still hurt, even if you’re just typing them…

So last night’s Ravenwood Radio was a great show as always, and thanks again to Leesha and Steve for hosting such a wonderful webcast! Miss Narrator and I truly enjoy being a part of it, and it’s great to know through all the feedback I get that many other people enjoy our segment too.

So last night, as with pretty much every episode, Miss Narrator and I were listening in and, of course, participating in the chat room, because that’s one of my favorite parts of the Ravenwood Radio experience – that great chat room community. It’s always well moderated of course, and thanks to the excellent work of IcyWiz and the other mods it’s a fun and friendly place to hang out during the live webcast.

Anyway – so last night ‘The Daring Adventures of Ditto’ segment came on and many people cheered (thank you, we love that!), but there were a few who said some pretty negative things, mostly directed at Miss Narrator. I’m not going to say who or what was said, that’s not the point of this. The point is that she was right there, in the chat room, listening along and having a good time participating as these things were said about her. Of course the rest of the chat room immediately jumped to her defense, which she really and truly appreciated, but the initial attacks still stung.

I do a LOT of social media (being the #1 Fabricated American gaming blogger on the web, of course…) and I see this all the time on Facebook and other web forums and communities. People think they can type whatever they want about whoever they want and there’s no consequence, because ‘it’s just Facebook, everybody does it’, and then when there is a backlash there’s the eternal excuse ‘I was only kidding’. But unfortunately, by that point the damage has already been done. ‘Only kidding’ doesn’t really fix it.

So what’s my point? Well, it’s simple, really – if you’re talking to someone, or ABOUT someone, on the internet, always assume other people are going to see it. Always think about what the words really mean – not YOUR interpretation but what the words actually mean to other people reading them. Assume people don’t have the same background or frame of reference that you do, so they aren’t going to understand that you’re ‘only kidding’. Assume any conversation you have online is no different from a conversation you have in the middle of a room full of people who can all hear you. Assume that if you’re saying something bad about someone else, that they WILL find out about it. Think about how YOU would feel if someone said the same thing about you, or your friends, or your mom, or your wife.

‘But they started it!’ – See, I already knew what you were going to say. One benefit of the internet is that if someone ‘starts something’ on Facebook or a forum it’s very easy to walk away. Delete the comment, block the user, or just turn off the computer and step away. We don’t need to make things worse by blasting back and saying something in the heat of the moment that we’ll regret later.

So to close – just because you’re typing something on a computer using the name ‘Elmer Fancypants’ instead of your real name, don’t think that those words are any less ‘real’ than if you were saying them to the person sitting across the dining room table from you. Because actually, they are MORE real – because a lot more people can see them, and it’s very, very hard to take them back once they’re out there.

Thanks for listening…. Be good to one another, and I’ll See you in The Spiral!

Ditto Monster


Ditto defeats Krokopatra!!

Here it is – my second (and ultimately successful) battle against the evil Krokopatra! After my less than stellar performance in round 1, this time things go much better and I handily defeat her. This is my last big battle of Krokotopia, leading to the spiral key to Marleybone!


My battle with Krokopatra – take 1

So I made it through to the end of the Temple of Storms and faced the mighty Krokopatra and her royal queens’ guard! Unfortunately I didn’t fare so well in this fight… There is a very important lesson here though – my key mistake was actually playing too offensively against a storm boss. Storm bosses are notorious for heavy damage, so I should have played more conservatively – namely, on the turn before I got blasted I chose a meteor strike over a spirit armor spell, even though I KNEW meteor strike wasn’t going to defeat the queen. Poor choice, and I paid the price for it.
Let this be a lesson to you – shields and heals when going up against a storm boss!!


The Temple of Storms – Test of Aptitude

After my thrilling victory over the Son of Storms and the completion of the ‘Test of Strength’, I was then sent into the ‘Test of Aptitude’. Now, to be fair, Fabricated Americans are not historically known for their keen problem solving abilities, so taking that into account I think I did OK here… That last puzzle was a tricky one though!


Defeating Krokopatra, Test of Strength, part 2…

Still adventuring in the Temple of Storms, I have to defeat more bosses to get to the Son of Storms, defeating him to win the Test of Strength. I liked the progressively stronger bosses, it was a nice challenge and I’m glad I had my potion bottles full, I was pretty low on health when I finally got to Son of Storms.


Defeating Krokopatra – Part 1, the test of strength

In the Temple of Storms there are many trials before facing the dreaded Krokopatra. The first test is the Test of strength, defeating a line of bosses before facing the Prince of Storms… This is the first part of that battle, a fight which I win easily! Well, maybe not ‘easily’, but I do win. Yay me!!


My 100th post!!!

So here it is, my 100th blog post here! 100 seems like it’s a lot, but also really just the beginning, and I’m really excited to be here!

Ditto and Madame Jasmine at home

Ditto and Madame Jasmine at home

So I was definitely going to do a great video blog post here to celebrate the event, but I had a minor technical difficulty. OK, not so much a ‘technical difficulty’ as ‘forgot to charge the batteries’ in my video camera. That’s also why there is no amazing Krokopatra battle video as well. Fear not, though, loyal fans – the camera is charging now, and will be ready to go later today when I get out of work!

So what’s next for everyone’s favorite furry orange monster? Well, lots more blogging, hopefully the end of Krokotopia and the beginning of new adventures in Marleybone, lots more ‘Daring Adventures’ with some surprises in store there, plenty of discussion of Wizard 101 and then – GASP! – discussion of other games!

That’s right – I, the Ditto Wizard, am starting to work on expanding my blog to incorporate other family-friendly multiplayer games. Not entirely sure the direction it’s taking yet, and Wizard 101 is still my #1 favorite game ever, but there are more and more games coming into this area and I’d like to try some of them and share my thoughts and ideas about them, so look for that coming up soon and I hope everyone enjoys it!

Finally – thanks to all the literally hundreds (maybe thousands? Don’t really know, it’s the internet after all..) of people out there who enjoy my blog and my videos and follow me on YouTube and twitter and give me tips and great feedback! Thanks always to the awesome Ravenwood Radio who helped me bring my fun Daring Adventures to life! And finally, thanks to Kingsisle for making a fun, wonderful, and family friendly game that inspires such great imagination and wonderful community who openly embrace a furry orange Fabricated American like me!!! I am a lucky monster!!

See you in the spiral!! PLOX!!


The Daring Adventures of Ditto – Episode 7!

Here it is, the Episode 7 you’ve all been waiting for, where Ditto and Madame Jasmine face spooky hooded characters, pesky narrators, and come face to face with one of the most fearsome foes in all of (level 20 range) Grizzleheim!! As originally heard on Ravenwood Radio Episode 21, ‘Storm Study Hall’!!

Listen now!!
The Daring Adventures of Ditto – Episode 7


Ditto’s Video Blog – August 1st!

August already? How did that happen I wonder? Ah well – I was able to pull myself away from many busy things today and do a quick video blog – no game play video yet, I’m still working on that, but I do a bunch of thank you’s and ‘shout outs’ I guess you would call them… Anyway, enjoy…

PLOX


Just goofing around…

Hi everybody, it’s Ditto… Well I’ve been really busy this week, but I’ve got a new video blog coming really soon! Until then though, a friend of mine took a video of me trying to blow up a balloon to the size of my head! I did pretty good – not sure I got it quite that big, it was tough work! I think it was probably the biggest I’ve ever blown up a balloon though – what do you think?

Also, I want to thank Jasmine Stormblood and Jordan Dreameyes and Boris Titancaster for all including me in really nice artwork for Ravenwood Radio! That was really nice and makes Ditto very happy! Thank you!!


Safety First!!

I got a message on Facebook yesterday – someone who said they are a big fan, who really liked my videos and my Daring Adventures on Ravenwood Radio. He said that he had a present for me, that he would give me 1000 crowns because he was such a big fan!!

Now of course I was very excited about this – I just bought my beautiful house in game, which was very expensive, and I don’t have a lot of gold left. 1000 crowns, well that a lot of money, that would buy me a lot of nice things, right? And well, if he was a fan of my blog, it’s not so strange to think he might want to give me something nice, right?

Then he asked me some more questions. Like what my account information was in Wizard 101, so he could ‘get the crowns to me’. He also asked me where I lived in real life. He asked me how old I was. That’s when I realized that maybe he wasn’t trying to give me something nice at all. That’s when I knew that he was probably a bad person.

To be fair, maybe this person was really just a very nice person and was very curious about things and didn’t mean any harm – but I couldn’t possibly know that, and neither can you, so you have to be safe, because that’s a scary thing about the internet; people aren’t always who say say they are, and people who seem really nice can actually be pretty awful.

So, if someone who you meet online, in game, on Facebook, or whatever – even someone who has been talking to you or chatting with you for a while – asks you for any kind of personal information, like an account name or a password, or where you live, or your phone number, you need to be really careful. If you’re a younger person – as I know some of my readers are – you should really tell someone older, like a parent, etc… before you give out any kind of information like that. This isn’t just for younger kids, though – a lot of grownups have given out important information to ‘friends’ on the internet that got them into trouble as well, so everyone should be careful.

Just a little friendly advice from your furry neighborhood Fabricated American, because I think everybody who comes here and reads my blog and watches my videos and likes listening to my Daring Adventures is really great, and I appreciate every single one of you!!


House decorating!

So I’ve been decorating my new house with all of the various housing items I had in my backpack and dorm room. It seemed like a ton of stuff, but my house and surrounding area are so big, it’s like I’ve barely even started!

the good thing is that all my pets – other than my faithful sidekick Madame Jasmine – are all happily settled into their new home. Some wanted to roam about outside, others liked the indoors, and one – my spooky little yellow ghost – wanted to hang out in my spooky cave area under my mini-Krokosphynx.

So here are a few quick pictures of my new house after I’ve spent some time decorating – can’t wait to have a housewarming!! Of course I have no IDEA how to actually DO a housewarming, but it must be on a blog somewhere, right?


Ditto’s First House!!

So I did it – thanks to handy advice and saving all my gold coins, I was able to purchase the large desert villa!! It’s AMAZING – it’s got a Krokosphynx, and a pretty waterfall, and a hidden cave and all kinds of great things!! It was expensive, but totally worth it!! I have to decorate it and put my pets in there and then I can figure out how to invite people over!!


Is it coming to an end so soon??

So I just fought my way through the karanahn barracks and defeated a whole slew of Krokotopian princes in the karanahn palace, and the ghost of Krokhotep has given me a most dire message:

Getting the last quest from Krokhotep

Ditto gets dire news from Krokhotep

It’s time for my FINAL task! The last thing I have to do in Krokotopia – face Krokopatra! Part of me is very excited, while another part of me feels a kind of melancholy, as I’ve been battling in the tombs and temples of Krok for so long it almost feels like a second home… I do plan on taking a bunch of video of my final assault on Krokopatra, so stay tuned for that! I have no idea what I’m facing but I’m sure it will be epic!

Of course I still have so much left to do for Headmaster Ambrose, and I’m very excited to be headed off onto my next adventure in the Spiral – I believe Marleybone comes next, if I’m not mistaken. I’ve only seen pictures so far, and of course I’ve talked with many fine Marleybonian gentlemen in Krokotopia as well, so I’m sure it won’t be completely alien…

And as for Krokotopia? I think I will purchase a large home here before I go, so I can always return to the windswept sands and adventure I’ve come to love so much…

Finally, I have long been wondering – there is a teleport pad and some obelisks in the oasis, over by the Bazaar area, that looks like it goes somewhere:

Where does this go?

Where does this teleport pad go?

I haven’t been able to activate it – I assume there is some secondary quest line I might have missed? I try to be very thorough, but it’s certainly possible I missed something – it’s also possible that it’s a school-specific quest line that I don’t have access to. Does anyone know? I’m one of those ‘need to finish everything’ kind of players, so I don’t want to head off to Marleybone without knowing where this leads…

Meteor Strike = Fast Forward button!

Had a really good time in-game this weekend, and I noticed something really cool…

Everyone knows that I had been on an epic quest to reach level 22 and the coveted pyromancer spell ‘Meteor Strike’. Well, I got Meteor Strike (See previous blog posts about that awesome and fun adventure) but it seemed to take FOREVER! Really, I think it took me a couple weeks to push from level 20 to level 22, getting all the way through the level 20 Grizzleheim quests and deep into Krokotopia before finally reaching my goal. Since level 22, though, BOY have things changed…

Since hitting level 22 I was just questing like crazy in Krokotopia, and I realized that things are going SO much faster – the fights are so quick now that I can take out all enemies in one spell, and since I hit level 26 and Professor Falmea taught me WyldFire, it’s even more awesome. I also picked up Satyr from Professor Wu (Or is it moo? Tee hee…) and totally restructured my deck.

My typical fight now consists of Wyldfire, fire blade, Jasmine’s fire blade (they stack!) and a Meteor Strike – that’s averaging over 800 damage I believe, so even most of the Krok bosses fall to that combo! I had a fun group over the weekend – a necromancer and a life wizard – who ended up just joining me in fights and tossing an occasional heal while I took out the baddies – I was SO excited!! They were cheering me on, too! I had so much fun, and I’ve made it well into the Tomb of Storms – completed the barracks last night, but I know I’ve got lots more to go.

More fun this weekend was pets – I got a yellow ghost and a life banshee to drop in the tomb of storms, I think both from the Ahnik king… I like them both, though of course neither would replace my trusty Madame Jasmine. Now I REALLY need a house so I can let all my pets roam free…

One last thing to mention – there was a young wizard who was following me around yesterday for a while and cheering me on and doing parts of the ‘narrator’ bits from ‘The Daring Adventures of Ditto’… I wanted to say THANK YOU!! I laughed out loud and it just made me feel really good. I hope you had fun watching my many epic battles and cheering as my enemies fell before me, defeated by Madame Jasmine’s mighty roar… (or cluck, as the case may be)

So there’s more video coming, just not a lot of time right now – I’ll get posting it tonight or tomorrow morning, promise!! For now it’s off to work, where I shall dream of once again adventuring in the spiral…


Defeating Krokhotep!

So last night I didn’t think I would be ITS (In The Spiral) for long, as I had some things to do and wanted to watch ‘River Monsters’ – GREAT show, by the way.
Well, as often happens with the awesomeness that is Wizard 101, I ended up playing WAAAAY too long, because I got obsessed with completing the Krokosphynx! Well after a few hours, I finally found myself face to face with the dreaded Krokohotep!! And yeah – took him out! It was a great fight – not on video, sadly, since I wasn’t planning on playing that long or finishing that quest line, but anyway, I have defeated Krokohotep and I’m now level 24! It was a very fun night – I have one more side-quest to finish in the Krokosphynx, I think (Like Leesha and Steve and Christina Icedreamer always say – finish ALL your quests!) and then I’ll move on to whatever dreaded evil comes next…

Here is another video of me battling in the Krokophynx – it has nothing to do with last night’s adventures and was taken before I hit level 22, but it’s kind of funny how tired and annoyed I’m getting after fighting wave after wave of these glacial avengers and still not leveling…


Ditto fighting Ice Avengers…

So I already posted my great video of hitting level 22 and getting meteor strike, but there were some great battles before that and I figured I’d post a few…

Also, while I’m posting, THANKS YOU so much for all the great feedback on my Daring Adventures episode on Ravenwood Radio Episode 20!! It was so much fun to do and the Narrator really seems to be getting the hang of things… I’m glad people liked it, I’ll be posting the Daring Adventures audio track once Ravenwood Radio posts the Episode 20 Podcast..
