September was a bittersweet month; I didn’t get to DragonCon and it marked the official end of the “Browncoats: Redemption” journey. And I hope you all agree that it has been quite a journey.
We spoke with Mike Dougherty about the final total the project has made for the charities and ask the big question: what now?
I know that we have said this on many occasions, it has been our absolute pleasure to assist where we have been able to with this project and both Odile and I wish Mike and all of them all best wishes for the future. And if you wish to join them on that journey head on over to facebook.com/zconmovie.

Okay, geddit – the play on … Oh never mind – all will come clear!
When Odile and I were show planning (yes, it takes planning to look this disorganised), we never thought that we would have enough content for two shows in June.
We are pleased that the Unstoppable Signals team of Tom and Jeremy agreed to speak with us about HNBF and and its successor, Unstoppable Signals, about their history and, more importantly, the future. Their website is here.
And always a pleasure, never a chore, Mike Dougherty shows that men really can multi-task by speaking with us while having his car brakes checked while filling us in the latest for “Browncoats: Redemption” now that they are into the last 80 days of the project.
We know that we have harked on about this for what seems like an eternity, but this project is now in the last 10 weeks of its life, and so, please if you are still not sure as to whether to donate to this particular Browncoat cause, don’t think about it – just do it. Just follow the sticky at the stop of the page.

Finally let me remind you to help Browncoats Redemption win one of the Mashable Award!
Yet another fabulous offer popped into my inbox for us from Mike and all at “Browncoats: Redemption”:
“Until 12/17/10 we are offering an additional $2 discount (meaning total discount using this code is now $4) as a Holiday thank you.
The Discount Code for DOES NOT impact the donations for the selected charities, but will be applied to money set aside for the production costs (i.e. mailing, dvd’s etc) associated with the DVD.
Please share this with your listeners/supporters. “
Just to remind you all, the SaW discount code is: saw2010.
During his speech at the London premiere for “The Return of the King”, Peter Jackson said, “this is a long film and I’m a bit concerned about the water that you’ve all been given so pace yourself, okay?”; by that same token, this is the longest show we have ever released at about 120 mins so you can’t say we haven’t warned you.
Last Thursday (11 November), I was able to meet with John Mullaney, the artist of the wonderful and fantastic “Serenity Cutaways” available from QMx or if you wish for something as little “more”, signed artists proofs are available directly from John’s website, www.thetopdraw.com. We had a great conversation where not only did we cover his work with QMx, but in typical Sending A Wave style, went off onto various tangents – and I hope that you also find it enjoyable.
As part of his website and this is also on QMx’s site, but we are also adding it here; John filmed a great short video about producing the Serenity cutaways which, if you haven’t watched already, please do to appreciate the painstaking attention that John applies to his projects.
Lastly, as part of the interview, John mentions a “spot the prop” competition which will be running on both his website and QMx and we read out the list of items, but we are also including them here to give our listeners a head start – so grab your magnifying glass and get searching for the following:
Vera
Ball and hoop (as featured in the beginning of “Bushwhacked”)
Engine catalyser
Model toy of Han Solo in carbonite
Simon’s bag
River’s cryo box
Ship’s paper (the wallet!)
Grenades (yes, the ones that Jayne wasn’t allowed to take with him in “SERENITY”)
Mal’s browncoat
and two for Inara: her long bow and the incense/flash bomb
Plenty to find, I think you’ll agree.
I’m pretty confident that this will not be the only time we have John on the show and both Odile and I look forward to the next time and I want to thank John for meeting with me on Thursday.

No, it’s not our birthday but Serenity will have premiered in the UK just about 5 years ago… so, Happy Birthday Serenity!
In this episode, Wendy and I reminisce in our Serenity experience and I learn something I did not know about Wendy… want to know what? Listen to the show!
We discuss how the Browncoat community can be such a brilliant, productive community and how this short lived TV series seems to have the gift to inspire people to do things! We all know about all the great things done so far but we also wanted to talk about the smaller things such as our friend Colleen Bement’s project inspired by Doctor Horrible. For more info check the following facebook page.
We catch up with Michael Dougherty to see how the Redemption project is doing after Dragon Con and to thank him for their great offer. Find more about it here!
Finally we have a great interview with Lauren Moore aka ‘Verse, a great up and coming musician from Indiana. Her music has been inspired by Firefly and we simply love it! She has also produced the music we are using on our new outro (yes Wendy, I am using the correct terminology ) and she promised to make an other piece for our intro! (I can’t wait to hear it!!).
We are the UK based Firefly/Serenity podcast, presented by Wendy Scott and Odile Thomas. We hope you enjoy the show and please feel free to leave a comment and/or rate us on iTunes or your podcatcher.
