Hearing new episodes (or maybe ones you've never heard before) is usually a blast. This thread is dedicated to discussing the best experiences you've had hearing an episode for the first time! I have a couple of experiences listening to episodes for the first time that immediately pop into my head. ...

We could possibly write the outline on a new forum on the SS. A Skype (or whatever, you name it) group chat could be more efficient and our group isn't too large. But again, I don't know if everybody would be willing to go beyond the SS. I'd need the feedback of each of the E.R.K. members (so post y...

Maybe we could do a collaboration fanfiction about Emily...would anyone here be interested? Perhaps we could try to get as close as possible to Let's Call the Whole Thing Off? I bet there are enough theories around here to do that (if there are no objections). Polehaus53 & I have pretty solid p...

It can still technically be considered a Jones and Parker mystery. There's a Jones kid in it, and there's a Parker kid in it! :mrgreen: The Parker kid isn't Matthew, but Olivia is solving a mystery like Matthew would, so I suppose it can qualify. Ooh. The main characters are actually Olivia Parker ...

I've had a busy night and was up late. Then I realized "The Martyr and the Rooster" had just been released! So I heard it. I need to re-listen to it, but I have many thoughts about the theme, ethics, and morals presented. Phil Lollar keeps writing episodes that really make me think ("...

I've been waiting almost a year to hear "Jumping Off, Jumping In" since I saw the BTS photos, video, and description. It was supposed to be in album 69 according to Facebook but got pushed back for obvious reasons. It looks so good! I'm looking forward to it the more I think about it. I ad...

Hmm, I love this question! There have been so many characters in the past that have been written off that I wish would return. I will mention characters who could return due to the qualifications 1) their character hasn't died (i.e. characters like Tom Riley, Jerry Whittaker, Regis Blackgaard) and 2...

I'm super excited as well! It'll have been ten years since "Grandma's Christmas Visit" and that's far too long for a mainstream Christmas episode. Maybe they'll air the Christmas episode on the club AND on the radio as a special treat for listeners who only hear episodes via online/radio o...

Is it just me, or does Matthew sound a little bit like Trent DeWhite? Matthew's voice changed (thank GOODNESS they didn't swap Justin Felbinger out for a fourth actor) and after that happened, I also think he sounds like Trent Dewhite after Trent's voice changed. Matthew & Trent have pretty dif...

Album 2 has some absolute gems! "The Last Great Adventure of the Summer" for the win! I would definitely want to go to Whit's End but I'd be both afraid and excited. I would love to try a wodfamchocsod or an ice cream skyscraper (I'm super curious about that treat). I might want to try the...

Oh dang. I've put off reading these for a long time but looks like I might have to pick them up! Do you guys enjoy them? I have been thoroughly enjoying them! They take some liberties & flesh out the villains' motivations and backstories (Richard and Glossman's in particular). The books have al...

Skepticism is definitely healthy but I am pretty sold on that being the Chairman. I have a few observations/theories that may show why that the Chairman in chapter 2 was the Chairman: Blackgaard refers to "the Chairman" as "the Chairman." That's so specific & so iconic to the...

I'm a bit confused... is it from the Chairman's perspective? I believe it is Blackgaard's, because that sentence follows Blackgaard's last action, not the Chairman's. The entire chapter was from Blackgaard's perspective anyway. I believe Blackgaard is referring to the mineral that is in Odyssey. I ...

The preview for the fifth Blackgaard Chronicles novel, "Knight's Scheme" is currently on the club. This thread will contain major spoilers for the first three chapters so please read the preview before reading this thread. Continue reading under the spoiler tag at your own discretion. You...

But yeah I also noticed the 'sidekick' thing! Emily has so much subtle character development you'll miss if you're not looking. I really, really appreciate that detail even if it wasn't intentional by the writers. Really good observation! There are so many subtle details that are easy to miss and a...

Bridget Perkins was introduced in "Man of the House" seemingly just as a background character to Wyatt's story. We didn't know much about her; she made some snarky and sarcastic comments towards Wyatt and appeared to love her family a good deal. But that was all. She appeared next in the c...

Okay, thanks for letting me know that you guys are interested! Still working on writing it. It's only a one-shot I think. An interview with Cristina Pucelli came out on the Official Podcast today! It was fun, y'all should listen to it. Cristina Pucelli was worried about Emily after reading the scrip...

Morrie and Suzu are the next level. Poor Emily. :boohoo: Not sure how long he was in JD, but definitely long enough so Emily could process her feelings & forgive him. Good point. Now I'm thinking, hm, Emily will still see Morrie and Suzu around at school and maybe even out of school, unlike wha...

119 PAGES!!! *throws confetti* YES! I will pm both of you with my theory. I look forward to it :D I can point out disturbing things about almost all character art if you want :twisted: (example: Barrett has huge feet and exceptionally skinny legs) No thanks. I prefer enjoying the art for what is an...

To be honest, I am sort of burned out with the Rydell Saga as a whole because of the complicated, lengthy discussion(s) over this question. But no worries; I'm still very interested and excited for the upcoming Rydell Saga episodes. \:D/ I actually have a basic plot outline drawn out for Let's Call...
