BABScon 2017 Panels and Community Guest Announcement!

That's right, kiddos, your favorite fun sized brony analyst is going to BABScon 2017 as a community guest!  Why they accepted my application, I have no idea, but I'm humbled and very excited for the opportunity!  I'm going to be co-hosting two panels on Saturday, April 15, with my fellows from the Equestria Now Podcast (https://www.youtube.com/user/EQConfidential):

• Analysis & Discourse: The Value of Dialogue in the Fandom with Equestria Now in the Hall of Magic from 7:15pm to 8:15pm
• The Equestria Now Fourth Year Anniversary Live Extravaganza! (18+ only) in the Lunary Hall from 11:45pm to 12:45am

The first will be similar to the panels I've held previously at Grand Brony Gala and co-hosted at HAHcon.  We'll be having a discussion with all the attendees about horses and the pony show.

The second will just be a podcast style thing where we BS for an hour and maybe take some audience questions.

Additionally, I'll be at the Community Guest Meet & Greet in Golden Gate's Loft from 3:30pm to 5pm (also on Saturday).  So stop on by and meet me and the other community guests!  I know Minty Root (https://www.youtube.com/user/Playerdotexe) will be there, but not sure I can really announce any others right now.

I hope to see everyone of you at BABScon or another convention this year (BronyCon and Grand Brony Gala are on my list of cons I may be attending).  I know cons can be expensive, though, so I totally understand if you can't make it.

Oh, also, at the end of this video I fool around a bit in my garage.  For lulz.  And I guess most of you would probably say cringe.  But whatever, I do what I want!!!

The End of FiM As We Know It - In the Closet

I continue my new In the Closet video series with this latest on the Season 6 finale of MLP.  So what did I really think?

This finale shat all over the ponies I've grown to love over the last six years, and was a truly fitting end to the travesty that was season 6 of My Little Pony: Friendship Was Magic.  

OK, maybe it wasn't that bad, but I wasn't a huge fan, tbh.  Though on its own it was arguably a good episode, I just can't help but see it as a sign that the mane six are on the decline.  It's more than just "muh waifu twiley"; none of the ponies had any instrumental part to play in this episode.  It's really the first ep since numero 100 to feature background characters.  SO WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN???

RIP FiM?

MLP ASMR for Bronies - In the Closet

The (official) inaugural episode of In the Closet with Corpulent Brony features ASMR, or Alicorn Special Method of Relaxation.  This method employs the use of common, everyday objects to make sounds that some find enjoyable.  I speak quietly throughout to help enhance the experience of relaxation.

As with all my videos, try not to take anything herein too seriously.  In the immortal words of a philosopher I seem to have forgotten:

IT'S A PRANK BRO!!!

I've been wanting to do a brony/ASMR video for a while.  I'm a fan of ASMR YouTubers, especially Ephemeral Rift for the levity he injects into the genre.  I thought mixing my pony merchandise with ASMR could be good for a few keks, and hopefully you'll agree.

Apparently I've had a decent binaural microphone for almost a year now, but I never gave it a go.  The volume was a tad too low on this first try, but after some tuning up in Adobe Audition I thought it sounded decent enough.

I am definitely not a professional ASMRtist and probably never will be, this is likely simply a one-off for fun and giggles.

As always, let me know in the comments section or on social media your thoughts and comments on this video or if you have suggestions for future stuff you'd like to see.

Thanks for watching!

No More Pony Tonite: The End of an Era...?

It's been announced already, but in case you weren't aware, Sheldon has decided to end the podcast known as Pony Tonite. We had a great run, but he and the others were getting tired of having on random fandom guests, many of which they simply didn't really have much of an interest in getting to know. We tried a couple times to go back to the original format of just some bros hanging out, but the last podcast was horrible and I was basically ready to leave it myself.

For a little bit I entertained the idea of relaunching the podcast and moving forward with some new hosts, reinstating the guest interview format. Unfortunately, due to a lack of interest on the parts of myself and others, I've decided to put those plans aside for now.

I'm also beginning to re-evaluate some of the other projects that I had in the works related to Pony Tonite, most notable Pony Tonite Radio, which was something I'd nearly already completely abandoned. Due to the dissolution of Pony Tonite, I'm thinking of also taking the radio station down. Surprisingly, in the last 30 days the station's had 329 unique listeners and a total of 28.8 listening hours. That seems like a whole heck of a lot! 

329 unique listeners in 30 days?!  That seems like a lot.

So before I kill the radio station, I wanted to know: Are any of you out there really enjoying the radio station and would like to see it stick around? I could take more of an active role in its management and try to make it better if the demand exists.

Hit me up in the comments below and let me know what you think.
