When did you get on board?

What was your first episode of podcast on fire? What number? Where u here from the beginning or have you just tuned in?

Number 1

and still listening. Work out your own reasons.

Can't remember. I was googling for audio commentaries and found your Eastern Condors one.

Early 2009, I'm pretty sure my first ep was the Easter Condors COF aswell (found via a link on Far East Films, you guys actually popped my podcast cherry aswell lmao) but it was the Tale of Two Tonys I distinctively remember really enjoying and made me want to keep following POF's output.

In all fairness, I think part of the appeal was that you guys don't take yourselves too seriously (enough to photoshop your faces onto womens bodies )

Hello, I'm Mr. Jones. Really. That's my name. Honest.

First post and here seemed like as good a place as any to kick things off, though I will probably use this as a bit of an introduction as well (only to have someone point out an intros thread that I managed to miss). So, If this turns into a rambling post of Jibba Jabba, I apologise now.

I was a bit of a latecomer to Podcast On Fire. I started listening in October last year, the first was (of what was to become many) Japan On Fire: Kaiju. I hadn't watched any Kaiju films for a fair number of years, however, that episode caught my interest, I enjoyed it and I have been listening ever since. It also managed to put a huge dent in my bank balance as I forked out for a pile of Kaiju films I hadn't watched in years. Mrs. Jones did not approve.

Kaiju may have brought me here (erm... perhaps I should rephrase that) but my main interest lies with Japanese and Korean cinema, although, like many, it all started in my formative years with the likes of Monkey! and The Water Margin, then it continued into my teens with Hong Kong action films at their finest.

Some of my favourite directors include Kim Ki-duk, Im Kwon-taek, Yasuzo Masumura, Seijun Suzuki, Tsui Hark and Kinji Fukasaku. There are a whole host of others, but I realise this is turning into a post of EPIC proportions, so that will do for now.

Keep up the great work you have done so far.

Cheers.

Mr. Jones.

And remember, just because someone talks a lot it doesn't make anything they say any more valid... unless it's me, then it does.

Top notch first post Mr. Jones

Since number 1.

Was a member of the DragonsDen forum and found out about POF from there.

I have been lucky enough to appear on a couple of episodes and have enjoyed listening and participating in POF immensely.

It does help that the POF boys are a great bunch of peeps!

The picture of Stoo I photoshopped for the Tale of Two Tonys is one of the best things I've ever done with my life. Seriously. It brings me joy.
