scriggity - episode 7 (9/13/06)

You see it happen on TV and now the net. It seems even with programs such as podcast that even their host can't always get along. The first time I heard about this was with the podcast Rocket Boom. The original host Amanda Congdon apparently had a falling out with her partner was the creator of Rocket Boom, and she was let go. She has risen up and made here mark once again in the world of new media. Well yesterday I found out that the same situation happened to another podcast that watch from time to time called Scriggity. The premise of the show is kind of interesting. Instead of talking about the main news, they have people send in their own news such as someone broke up or they've been stung by a bee. Just random crap, but then they make there own little skit by cutting in there own responses as they read the story. Now I will be honest, the real reason I started watch at first was because the main host of the show Shauna was really cute. She made the show enjoyable to a point. So I finally check back in with the cast yesterday only to find out that Drew (the other mind behind Scriggty) and Shauna had split ways and that he was looking for a new host. I tried to do some web research as to find out what actually happened, but apparently both parties are being real hush hush about the subject. It was nice to see that Shauna has her own following of supporters just like Amanda did. Now I have no doubt that Scriggty will still last, but if it will falter any do to the deparcher of Shauna. It also makes me wonder if any other podcast, even more popular ones that people tend to know more about, decided to split. It makes for an interesting thought. I mean what would Ask a Ninja be like without the guy that plays...well the ninja (sorry, don't know the guy's real name)?
