1. The interactivity with the audience, be it the viewer-submitted questions, the live comment section, and the JackBox game sessions! The last part is my favorite.

2. Enigma. jk. luv you, bud. There's nothing I particularly dislike about it. The group has a great dynamic to it.

3. The podcast could use a bit of polish in the post-production sense for the videos. Sort of like what InvisibleDavis has been doing, adding bits of animated text, clips, or audio to punch it up. I know I've watched his version of my own podcast far more than the original. His edited version pears it down to the gems and keeps it tight and punchy with the laughs.
I don't know what kind of time or resource constraints you guys are under, so I know this may not realistically be feasible for an unpaid hobby.

4. Having the Jackbox game sessions become a regular occurrence is something I would really enjoy!

5. I can't complain.

6. It seems like you have a good mix of writers, musicians, and youtube celebrities. If you can manage to wrangle some of the actual show celebrities like M.A. Larson, that would be legendary.

7. Yes.

8. To my honest shame, I haven't watched enough of them to have a valid opinion.

9. I think your Discord is easy to join and is a shameful fun place to hang out.

1. Memes.

2. I haven't been interviewed.

3. Purge Enigma entirely.

4. Give me more contest prompts.

5. See answer #2.

6. See answer #5.

7. It's on YouTube, so yes.

8. Shitfaced Shitfics is the best; change my mind.

9. ...It's a Discord server.

1. What do you Like about the Barcast Group?

I think it's a fun group full of wacky people that are, ultimately, good people. You help out and do some genuine good with the horse farm. The videos are entertaining and funny as all-hell.

2. What do you Dislike about the Barcast Group?

Hmm... sometimes it's a bit too overwhelming. That's on me, mind. I'd also like to see more Writer's workshop videos.

3. What about the Barcast Group do you think we could be doing better?

You've had some repeat guests lately. It's a minor thing, admittedly.

4. What about the Barcast Group do you want to see more of?

More writer's workshop videos.

5. What do you think about our selection of guests on the podcast?

They're good... but you've had a repeat or two. I think it'd be better to go through the list you've got currently.

6. What sort of guests do you want to see more of in the future on the podcast?

So far the kind you've been having are good.

7. Is it easy to listen to the podcast whenever you want?

Yes.

8. What do you think of our other 'shows? (Screaming Closet, Shitfaced Shitfics, Mugshots.etc)

I like the, overall. I mostly listen to Shitfaced Shitfics and occasionally Screaming Closet.

9. What do you think of our Discord? Is it easy to join our discord?

Ah... yes.

1. What do you Like about the Barcast Group?

2. What do you Dislike about the Barcast Group?

3. What about the Barcast Group do you think we could be doing better?

4. What about the Barcast Group do you want to see more of?

5. What do you think about our selection of guests on the podcast?
they're great!

6. What sort of guests do you want to see more of in the future on the podcast?
I like it better when it's not a children friendly guest but i don't want you to cross out good guest if it's their requirement.

7. Is it easy to listen to the podcast whenever you want?
Yes, it's my make out playlist.

8. What do you think of our other 'shows? (Screaming Closet, Shitfaced Shitfics, Mugshots.etc)
They are really hard to catch live, How does this makes you feel needs more diversity, Mugshot is barely organized, i love everything.

9. What do you think of our Discord? Is it easy to join our discord?
Yes

1. What do you Like about the Barcast Group?
I like the welcoming and generally lax environment it's become, as well as the hilarity and general bullfuckery that goes on there.

2. What do you Dislike about the Barcast Group?
That I can't be there all the time.

3. What about the Barcast Group do you think we could be doing better?
Hmm... honestly, no clue, it's a pretty cool place and I can't think of nothing you guys could do to make it better, it's already better in my eyes just watching you guys grow

4. What about the Barcast Group do you want to see more of?
Collabs, definitely collabs,

5. What do you think about our selection of guests on the podcast?
I think they're pretty awesome, even though I haven't been on there enough to watch them

6. What sort of guests do you want to see more of in the future on the podcast?
Voice actors and more fanfiction writers, tbh

7. Is it easy to listen to the podcast whenever you want?
After moving up here? Hell yeah it is.

8. What do you think of our other 'shows? (Screaming Closet, Shitfaced Shitfics, Mugshots.etc)
I love Screaming Closet, it's fun, though it could use some more commentary imho. Shitfaced Shitfics is just pure gold, and Mugshots... haven't watched that yet, will get there soon.

9. What do you think of our Discord? Is it easy to join our discord?
I'm glad to have joined so long ago and I hope to stay here for as long as I can.

1. What do you Like about the Barcast Group?

I only really stick around for the guest interviews, but you do those really well and I always find them enjoyable. Also the "stream is starting in 5 mins" messages are really useful for someone who checks Fimfiction as obsessively as me and always forgets when the stream is happening.

2. What do you Dislike about the Barcast Group?

It's nearly September and Milk still has a Christmas avatar.

4. What about the Barcast Group do you want to see more of?

Gratuitous Vylons.

5. What do you think about our selection of guests on the podcast?

I like them, you've had lots of fun and interesting people on, some of whom I personally adore.

6. What sort of guests do you want to see more of in the future on the podcast?

Fimfiction authors whom I personally adore who you haven't had on the podcast yet.

Also Shannon Chan-Kent if you can swing it

7. Is it easy to listen to the podcast whenever you want?

Sure, just go straight to Twitch, it's easy

8. What do you think of our other 'shows? (Screaming Closet, Shitfaced Shitfics, Mugshots.etc)

I haven't watched them

9. What do you think of our Discord? Is it easy to join our discord?

I'm sure it's easy, but I'm scared of what I might find there

1. What do you Like about the Barcast Group?
It's very easy to dump my stories here and keep track of updates. Also, it's interactive!
2. What do you Dislike about the Barcast Group?
I wouldn't say I strongly dislike this, but there are a number of featured writers and podcast episodes that feel like there's a slight bias towards immensely popular writers, and while it's obviously fun for the people who really want to see them, these people don't exactly feel like they're fresh faces in FimFiction's metaphorical spotlight. Picking someone unexpected over the next thousand-follower dude might get some interest because a lesser known user could potentially be more enigmatic. Thousand follower friends obviously aren't bad, it's just that their presence is a bit more well-known to people, so adding someone else among those more popular faces could be more exciting.
3. What about the Barcast Group do you think we could be doing better?
Again, see number two. Though, as I recall, there were fic readings here? Maybe more fic readings could be fun.
4. What about the Barcast Group do you want to see more of?
Fic readings, whether serious or silly/drunk, would be great, and again: newer faces among all the horse-famous folks.
5. What do you think about our selection of guests on the podcast?
Otaku has the big gay.
6. What sort of guests do you want to see more of in the future on the podcast?
Yeah, I think I gave my two cents on this already.
7. Is it easy to listen to the podcast whenever you want?
I tend to watch it when it's already on Youtube, and usually if it's an author I like. Lately, it's been a lot of porn writers, so I tend to give it a pass since I'm not exactly a fan? Though, I was introduced to your podcasts because of Cynewulf's. It was linked to me when I was in a really rough spot and I got quite the surprise.
8. What do you think of our other 'shows? (Screaming Closet, Shitfaced Shitfics, Mugshots.etc)
I honestly might have to check out the shitfics one, but if it's a selection I already know, then I dunno. There's a lot of interesting shitfics on the site, but it seems like a small fraction of those get attention from other ponyfic podcasts/shitfic readings I gave a watch.
9. What do you think of our Discord? Is it easy to join our discord?
...I didn't know there was one.

1) Way back when, I only started watching to give me something to do on Friday evenings. But now that I've been around a while, it's more than that. At the moment, as sad as this is to admit, it might actually be the nucleus around which all the nubulous sections of my life revolve.

2) Nothing particularly. The lack of an apostrophe in the nsfw channel description has bugged me for some time, though.

3) There isn't anything more we can really demand of you, considering this is all unpaid. You guys put in so much of your own time and effort and money.

4) Shitfaced Shitfics (and to a lesser extent, Screaming Closets) are really entertaining, but sporadic. But at the same time, I don't want you to feel forced to do them if you don't want to, as that'll suck all the fun out of them.

Also, we're still waiting for this

5) Wide-ranging, and I've honestly been quite impressed at some of the guests you've managed to get to interview. I know some people prefer guests they've already heard of (Fimfiction authors, mainly), but I honestly don't mind hugely either way.

6) I don't mind, really. You guys have done a pretty good job of selecting guests so far.

7) Completely, yeah.

8) Screaming Closet is great. Obviously it depends on the game a bit, too. Some of my favourites have been Doki Doki, the Rusty Lake Hotel ones, Unavowed. Shitfaced Shitfics is also really good, although it's sporadic in its appearances. Writers' Workshop is interesting, but on hiatus it seems. And Mug Shots has died a bit of a death, at least for the moment. But when it was on, I thought it was the absolute finest content ever produced under the Barcast umbrella. (Although I might be a bit biased).

9) People are friendly, links are prominent. Yeah, I think it's easy.

I'm just really early for this years holiday season ;)

1. What do you Like about the Barcast Group?

You, Pencil and Flam have been great friends over the years and support me immensely. I love and respect the hell out of you guys.

2. What do you Dislike about the Barcast Group?

Blame it on my own ignorance, but I really don't know half the people you feature anymore. I think I liked it better when it was centralized to Fimfic and had authors that were likable and enjoyable to listen to.

3. What about the Barcast Group do you think we could be doing better?

Maybe having a little more variety and more audience participation content. Like, why not come up with a game where everybody in the group who participates affects the outcome. Or do a ginormous collab where everybody writes one paragraph or something.

4. What about the Barcast Group do you want to see more of?

The shitfic readings are always fun. More of those, please.

5. What do you think about our selection of guests on the podcast?

I guess I already answered this, but I don't really know anybody you feature, these days.

6. What sort of guests do you want to see more of in the future on the podcast?

How about some fandom musicians. I know quite a few in the brony rock/metal community who'd love it.

7. Is it easy to listen to the podcast whenever you want?

Yeah. Youtube baby.

8. What do you think of our other 'shows? (Screaming Closet, Shitfaced Shitfics, Mugshots.etc)
Screaming closet... not for me. I don't really get enjoyment out of watching others play video games and stuff. Shitfics are good and Mugshots is a very chill time.

9. What do you think of our Discord? Is it easy to join our discord?

It's easy to join, but kind of a waste of time, to be honest. Not because of anything you guys have done particularly (I love you all), but it seems that conversations seem to be dominated by either video games, computer/electronic related stuff or the daily life of an introvert. I try to go in there and bring up something like football, skating or metal and I get drowned out unless I bring a taskforce from the shitfuckers with me. I don't really find I fit in with it.

Yeah, I know, I've become petulant whiner #12483, but I just got back from work and the gym, I'm tired and sore and cranky. Sue me.

1. I like the atmosphere that you create while interviewing, I like that you promote the brony comunity, I like to meet all the creators I follow on a true human level.

2. That It might end one day

3. define beter

4. DK

5.I think the voting sysem is great, however since you are based on fim fiction the majority of the guests are writers, a little variety would be nice.

6. since writers, animators and musicians are already covered :Artists, PMVers, Tumblr bloggers, analysts, sculptors, VAs, a little bit of everything.

7.I usualy do it on youtube

8. Nevetr really whatched them.

9. havent joined =D

I'm fine with whoever anyone else picks.

7. Is it easy to listen to the podcast whenever you want?
Yeah.

8. What do you think of our other 'shows? (Screaming Closet, Shitfaced Shitfics, Mugshots.etc)
Shitfaced Shitfics is something I'd have to check out, but Screaming Closet is good for everyone. It lets us release the inner stupidity we all desperately need to vent.

9. What do you think of our Discord? Is it easy to join our discord?
Same as number 1. And yeah, if someone provides the link to join it.
