Welcome Future Traditions!

.

For those of you who have not heard, there is a new Jericho podcast in town and I highly recommend it. It is called Future Traditions and its thought provoking name hints at the exploratory nature of the shows content. Despite some minimal first show jitters the hosts, Larissa, Heidi and Suzanne (Hope I spelled those right) have a great time discussing the Jericho Pilot in depth. They each bring something different to the conversation and their individual insights serve to spur one another on to further topics of discussion. So much so that when they say they have exhausted the topic of the Jericho Pilot I do not really believe them.
.
Heidi’s Jericho News segment is delivered in a warmly traditional news anchor fashion. In all but a few moments she commands her material admirably and speaks with an authority which says “I can be trusted”. She has a nice voice for news.
.
A Fan fiction reading by Suzanne is also included in this first episode. Suzanne mentions her students at one point and it made me wonder if she is not used to reading aloud. She settles into the short story by Piratescribe nicely. The story itself is a study of interactions within the Richmond family. Several times I caught myself thinking a remark or gesture was completely in character; Very well done.
.
The format of Future Traditions seems loose enough so as to have some room to grow. The host’s encourage participation by the fan community in the form of feedback and ideas for the show. I am really looking forward to seeing how this will evolve over time.
