Yes, we're still podcasting! Thanks to everyone who cared enough to email us and ask if we are both still alive. But really, rumors of the demise of the ExemplaryDM podcast are mostly exaggerated.
In this episode we respond to listener emails in a number of ways, including some inspiration from LinkedIn spam, responding to listening feedback, cordially telling people who wonder if we are still podcasting to bugger off, and for the first time, using a listener's character concept as a Gadget of the Podcast!

Email Response ShowNotes:
William and Chad then riff a bit on how DM skills are important to kids, the first of many hints at a podcast topic to come.
Then we discuss the prevalence of all the people named Michael. Chad has a great line here, "If you're having a child, and thinking about naming it something," which standing by itself is awesome.
Drew's email- If we've been doing anything over the last nine months since s3e1, we've been persevering our asses off.
Mac's Email - Here is the link to Games and Stuff, and to the Star Wars: Edge of the Empire game, and a review of it from Penny Arcade.
Send us links/info on your local game store, we'd like to start collecting them for a future list of concentrication or podcast: exemplarydm@gmail.com
William responded harshly to Michael's inquisition as to our aliveness, and regrets doing so, not wanting to upset the large Michael demographic of our listenership.
Terry suggested we have our campaign's players on our podcasts, and we thought up the amazing idea of doctoring their comments. (But really, all our podcast guests have been players in our campaigns. Cool, huh?)
House's Hugh Lawrie does an American doing a British accent, the acting kersplosion.
The ID DM wrote in (theiddm.wordpress.com) to talk about Blade Raiders by Grant Gould (grantgould.blogspot.com), which has a pretty good website: bladeraiders.com
Chad still hasn't seen The Wire. (A good thing?)
Gadgets of the Podcast:

<serious> Upon listening to this podcast, you should relax in the knowledge that we are surely more upset than anyone about the infrequently of recording sessions. We are blown away that people are actually emailing us to ask if we're still around, and by the steady stream of new followers on twitter and on this blog. Post note: This was our first time recording a co-located podcast. There's some issues with mic positioning for William and some minor echo issues late in the podcast with Chad that we are certainly going to fix going forward.</serious>
Big Thanks for music, once again big thanks to the Diablo String Orchestra, The Kobolds, our listener Chuck for the gadgets intro jamz, and mega-fan Joshua Bentley for voice-overs galore (@voiceofthebigjb).
