EDIT: T SHIRTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE ORDER!!!

Nene Shirt | ENA Shirt

FROM AUG. 27th - SEPT. 3rd

Oh hey there.

We here at NGP have been pouring precious hours and energy into cultivating the best damn Block Party you guys have ever seen. We've had to bribe, blackmail, and plain-old hoodwink our special guests so YOU CAN HAVE THE BEST EXPERIENCE OF YOUR LIFE!!! I’M TALKIN' HUGE ART EVENTS, ENORMOUS ANIMATION REVEALS, AND GIGANTIC--wait.

Huh?

What do you mean the real Block Party is “a relaxed community hangout to get to know and interact with your fellow Newgrounders via low-pressure events.” And we're just "back-boning off the first Block Party, meaning that low expectations and a movie night are what's important...?"

...that's tame and lame...

...wait, what...???

IT’S ALSO A FUNDRAISER???

There's a link to that thread located inside this sentence. Thank you to everyone that submits something!

- INCOMING PHAT UPDATE -

Uhhh, oh god, uhh, the last thing we talked about news-wise was Stinky Steve! What do we talk about now?

@Will left the show as a host and now resides indefinitely as guest. Pour one out for the homie, Will--you can read his news post about stepping down here: Why I'm passing the torch at NGP

NGP is scheduled for a panel at Friday, June 25th at 7:15pm EST for the Newgrounds Summer Festival! We'll be talking about stuff 'n' sh*t, but also hopefully having previous guests on for our panel to talk about their experiences on NGP. Maybe we'll go over what it's like to run a podcast, but tbh, we all know you're only interested in us breaking the world record for most recorded cock jokes :v

UHHH, UHHH

@Thriftman's f*cking glorious under-the-guise-of-a-school-project interview of @RicePirate is available three months after the initial recording... haha, whoops! ^^;

@Xinxinix spoke with upcoming Newgrounds star-child @Bacun and creaky-boned and hella knowledgable/talented/pretty-damn-good-looking @FuShark about what it's like to start as an artist:

As for regular episodes, the crew got together for a we-feel-old-as-f*ck 50th episode while wondering how Josh didn't get us cancelled yet :v

@VoicesByCorey got together with his crew @NickSenny and @JoshDytonVO to discuss their alpha bromance voice acting crew called CERBERUS while having delicious art made by Jouste for their group's representation:

Pico Day 2021 Recap saw some love from use-to-be-showhosts @ninjamuffin99, @StaggerNight, and @RPGAnims as we talked about the amazing things that happened on Pico Day this year:

Piconjo crime syndicate members @TeraVex and @ProsciuttoMan went over their involvement in Piconjo's nefarious schemes, which include doing an entire OST (Teh 6aym available for streaming!) and programming a game to-be-released eventually ^^

@Stanpai sat down with @PsychoGoldfish to discuss the Newgrounds Summer Festival and then Josh had some beers with the buddies afterwards:

Most notably, @Stepford stepped into the NGP scene to brag loudly about how amazing their games are and the infinite amount of fame they find from having left Game Jolt to bring their amazing talents to Newgrounds:

Our @LazyMuffin episode will be released sometime in the future, and that's pretty much it.

Thank you guys for your support and I hope to see you in another 2 months for the next update!

Until then, NGP <3's j00 ;-]

Our interview with Stinky Steve is out :0

What's good everyone!

Corey here with the weekly NGP update! As you may have seen, we have our latest episode uploaded to our page! @Will, @PsychoGoldfish, @Xin and myself got together and had ourselves a nice hangout session last Saturday. It was extremely fun because it was the first time we collectively had the chance to sit down and just chat on an episode in quite some time! We definitely want to have more episodes like that where we catch up and talk to you guys as well! Goldy brought up a solid idea during the episode which I wouldn't mind doing. The concept was to interview one of the hosts for a full episode, and the fans get to ask any questions they want answered! It would be a great way for the fans to learn more about us. Those episodes would be a version of our chill, hangout sessions :) Let us know what you think about this idea, or your opinions on the casual episodes in general! We want them to be fun and entertaining for you guys! Go listen if you missed the live recording!

Okay, I do want to address the elephant in the room as well. Sooooo, Thursday was April 1st as you're all aware and we had ourselves another exhilarating episode. There were wild interviews with wacky guests and you had the chance to find out what we purchased with the Patreon money throughout 2020 (Thank you David for being an ass and exposing our dirty laundry). The real kicker though was our amazing interview with the pebble man himself, Zach Hadel! It may have been short lived, and he was kind of a dick to us, but we had him on the show regardless! XD We're all aware that you were upset about the short interview and having the episode dragged out for so long, but hey, what can you do! XD

The Zach interview was of course an April Fools joke and we thank all of you for being good sports about it. We really do love how the episode turned out this year and we really hope you enjoyed the silly interviews as well! The Halloween episode we put on last year was extremely fun so we wanted to have another episode like that. Needless to say, we had some solid laughs and hilarious content to make for a good April Fools special. Big shout outs to the Newgrounds Voice Acting Collab members who joined the show and provided us with some big laughs! @NickSenny, @CutToTheChase, @squidwardtesticles and @Proceed, y'all were terrific! One big final shout out to the voice behind our Zach, @HarpyCarp came in CLUTCH with an awesome impression of Zach. He was slated to be on the show live, but a change in his schedule prevented that from happening. He was still able to put some audio samples together so we could pull off the joke. Thank you so much for helping out man! We should have the episode uploaded early next week for those who missed the live recording.

We're going to make this promise to you guys now though, we are going to try as hard as we can to get the real Zach Hadel on. Surprisingly, he liked Xin's fake tweet earlier in the day XD So there may be a chance that we can get him on the show one day? Here's to hoping ha! We're also reaching out to get other guests that you know and love on the show. I'm personally trying to persuade @RomeoJR of Sick Animation to come on the show, but he's being a big tease as usual. I pulled out the big guns of talking shit on Cruella Deville just to get him interested. Trying to get him to bite! While we're waiting on word from him, why don't you go check out his latest animation 'Horse Tails!'

If there's any segment ideas you would think would be good for the show, let us know in our Discord server!

One final thing, for those who do celebrate the holiday, Happy Easter! Enjoy the weekend everyone and we'll see you on the airwaves soon!

-Corey

After a controversial moment on the latest episode of The Newgrounds Podcast, in which notable public figure @TomFulp made remarks about Spaghetti being "boring" and encouraged others to join him in disparaging the classic Italian dish, the International Society of Spaghetti has taken legal action. As of today they have pledged to sue the website for approximately $1,948,230, or quote, "a dollar for every noodle uneaten due to this unnecessary slander". Will the matter be settled out of court, or will Fulp be forced to, as the saying goes, put his money where his mouth is? Stay tuned to NGP for continuing updates on this spicy meat-a-ball of a story.

Update: Fulp has issued a statement on the matter:

More news unlikely to follow.

A bit of slowness after St. Pattie's, but we're not gone!

Hey guys, Will here. It's been a little slow this week, in one part because our last "episode" was the St. Patrick's Day stream that apparently lasted four hours. I'm jealous of everyone who got to participate in that. i think I popped in for a second, but for the most part I had to sit out due to a mysterious little rock that decided to make a road trip from Kidney City to Peepee Village. I have to say this journey has so far been Not Fun™, but hopefully it'll be done soon and I can go back to making podcasts and stuff without thinking about it!

If you're reading this on the day I'm posting it (Fri 3/26), then I can tell you we'll be hosting a little casual recording this weekend. I'm looking forward to it! If you're reading this after it's already happened: How was it?

Okay that's all, happy Newgroundsing!

Yo, man, what up, yo.

It's ya boi, @Xinxinix, here with another whacky wild crazy zany Friday update from our family here at NGP to yours.

*big cough, big cough*

THE @heyopc EPISODE HAS HIT THE FRONTPAGE, HOT OFF THE PRESSES

This episode had taken a while to edit because we said some controversial things that should never see the light of day and will likely haunt us all as we wake up out of dead sleep in a cold sweat trying to avoid what happened the day of the interview. If you weren't there for the live show, just know, you were spared...

Jk, you missed out, loser *winky face*

Great interview, great guest, so peep that episode if you haven't already.

~ St. Patties Day ~

In the spirit of Lucky Charms and binge drinking (mutually exclusive) @PsychoGoldfish, @BillPremo, @Jacob, @Spadezer, Oda Nobunaga, and myself got together and talked absolute nonsense for 4 hours. Josh deleted TheNewgroundsPodcast, recited the absolute lore of St Patties, and his wife vocalized her undying dislike towards my consistent genocide of her character in Among Us. At one point everyone was doing a "Xin" impression as I drew crappy fan art of everyone in chat while holding myself together to keep from deeply sobbing. Bill Premo educated us all on why Oda Nobunaga got snuffed for not being accredited as the first person to ever do a kickflip over Mt. Fuji, and Jacob and Spadezer talked with @KawaiSprite about why sh*tting out music and not overthinking it is the key to success.

Overall, a very (un)productive way to spend four hours.

Also, @Bacun was there and earned Bill's seal of approval for best Zoomer Artist of 2021.

Next year, I'd like to suggest we do a voice chat version of Twister.

We are not editing this episode, and it will forever live in obscurity.

~ FLASH FOWARD JAM ~

Speaking of editing, @Will is going to be editing the Flash Foward Jam episode and will hopefully have it done by Monday so you can hear Tom's angelic voice and Johnny Utah's too-tired-for-this accent.

~ EDITING SUX LOL ~

NGP will no longer be editing the episodes to polished-level quality. We believe that our real charm lies in the live shows and there is less of a point to be editing the aftermath of the real event to any actual quality.

And also because YouTube has drained my energy when it comes to spending time uploading as much as we did.

That being said, we love our patrons, and as the patron Saint of Alcohol, Josh said he's willing to do more live shows if it means drinking with more of the folks we call "regulars" on NGP.

idk, that's us, that's you, and we're NGP.

Join the Discord, you fools.

@PsychoGoldfish here with your Friday update! Man we have been busy here on the podcast.

Last week @Xinxinix and I got to hang out with @heyopc and talk about his rap career, amongst other things. Dude is cool as hell, and you should definitely check out his work (which is jam packed with collaborations with other great NG'ers).

That episode is taking a little longer to release because we got really sidetracked and needed to give it a lot of extra editing, but look for it VERY SOON!

Last night, I had @TomFulp and @JohnnyUtah (until he got bored of nerd talk and bailed on us) on as co-hosts as we talked to a bunch of participants from the Flash Forward Game Jam.

It was a multi-part interview where we talked with @Dungeonation, @BrandyBuizel, @Butzbo, @D-Sun, @Matt-Likes-Swords, @BoMToons and @BillPremo about their experiences with the jam, reminiscing about Flash and considering what Ruffle means for the future for Flash developers.

@Xinxinix popped in for the second half of the show with a bunch more questions, and turned it into a double-length episode!

After the show, there was a pretty good hang with some other Q&A, so if you weren't there live, YOU MISSED OUT! DON'T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN!

We did have a pretty large crowd. More people than I could count tuned in via our Discord, and we had a second, smaller crowd watching via our YouTube channel, where we decided to simulcast for the first time!

If you want to learn a little more abut the Flash Forward Jam, both @BoMToons and @Dungeonation have some fun post mortems on their news pages you should check out!

You should also check out ALL of the Jam games! I have it on good authority the winners will be announced VERY soon.

Next week is going to be a banger too. Sunday is the deadline for the Friday Night Funkin' Animation Jam, and we've already got a TON of awesome submissions.

Wednesday is St Patrick's Day. Last year we threw a spontaneous episode together while all the hosts (except that lame-ass @ninjamuffin99) got drunk. That was actually MY first appearance as a host, so THIS IS MY ANIVERSAY!!! Will it happen again this year? WHO KNOWS?!?!?!

Hey there everyone! @VoicesByCorey here with the Friday NGP update! Holy cow, February was an AWESOME month for content on NGP. @Xinxinix and I closed out the month with a killer interview with the one and only @RicePirate! Heading into the episode, Mick informed us he was a bit tired from working on Blood Sun Vendetta (Which you should go and watch if you haven't yet, what's wrong with you?!), but by the end, he was spritely from the conversation. Xin and I promised we would energize him and we accomplished our mission XD

Go watch BSV: Ch. 002!

Blood Sun Vendetta: Chapter 002

For me, it was an amazing experience chatting with Mick. He's an inspiration and encouraged me to pursue voice acting again. Getting the chance to talk voice acting methods, and industry, with him was really cool. Hearing his process of animating BSV all by himself was inspirational. Take the time to go listen to the episode when you have the time!

Tonight! Xin and @PsychoGoldfish will be chatting it up with the Newgrounds rap legend @heyopc! They'll be discussing his latest album 'Here We Go' and lots of other topics! It'll definitely be a fun episode! You guys and gals who join the live show should get the crew to create a song on the spot! :D Tune in on our Discord server tonight at 9 PM EST!

Next Thursday, Goldy and a slew of guests will be holding a Flash Forward Game Jam recap episode! You don't want to miss this episode because it will be a cavalcade of fun and will include a LEGNEDARY guest. Yes, that's right, GoryBlizzard will be on to talk about fec...okay, we may need to discuss that further Goldy...Anyway, March is looking to be another excellent month for NGP and we hope you join us for every episode!

One more thing before I sign off, we want to give a shout out to our newest Patreon supporter @Commanderken8! Thank you for supporting the podcast, we really appreciate it!

Take care everyone!

P.S. I'm @Will just so he doesn't feel left out XD

Yo, @PsychoGoldfish here with your Friday update. NGP has been killing it with a ton of great Interviews this month, and we're ending February with a bang (as you can see by the image above)!

Last weekend, I had the privilege of hanging out with @allmightyhans, @eiomaru, @tomamoto and DexTheSwede to hear about all the things they went through to bring Mutt & Chopps to life. We even got teased about some live action Madness stuff that will be coming out soon (and we'll have Hans and Chase back to talk about it!).

You can catch that interview right here on Newgrounds:

Episode 42, where @xinxinix and I got to hang with the creators of Mad Sister's Week Off , is now up on the tubes:

But the best is yet to come!

TONIGHT at 9:00pm EST, @VoicesByCorey and @Xinxinix are going to be chatting live with @Ricepirate, on our Discord Server. Mick just released chapter 2 of his kickass Blood Sun Vendetta series, and the boys want to know all the juicy details about it.

You never know what little tidbits and gaffs will end up on the cutting room floor, so you should definitely try and catch this interview live on our Discord Server @ https://bit.ly/ngpdiscord.

We're still planning some shows for March, but we'll likely be having a fun hangout episode soon, where we get caught up on NG happenings, and play some games. I'll also be getting some people together to talk about the Flash Forward Game Jam (which I am currently scrambling to finish a submission for). And of course, if this year is anything like last year, there may even be some St. Patrick's Day shenanigans.

Follow us on all of our goddamn platforms to make sure you don't miss any of these upcoming events!
