We apologize for being off the air so suddenly and for our radio silence following.
It’s been a rough time for us over at GMZW these past few months and it’s, unfortunately, affected you! For that, we are sincerely, wholeheartedly sorry. In the spirit of completely open communication with our audience, we just wanted to let you know what was going on in our studio.

The biggest and most difficult setback has been the departure of our dear Nai, the talented voice behind our love guru Asar Amore. She has landed a new job that requires complete exclusivity which means, unfortunately, she had to step back from GMZW. Nai has been an absolute delight to work with and we are a little jealous of her new bosses, whoever they are!
When she informed us of this impending departure several months back, we scrambled to try and wrap up the season so we could record all of her lines and conclude our current story arc. As it stands, we did not manage to do so due to scheduling conflicts on recording sessions, which is one of the few downsides of working with an international cast.
Additionally, we’ve lost another of our cornerstones: Michael, who has served as one of our main writers since we started this podcast in 2014. He has had to step away due to personal reasons and we wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors.
So with two crew members down, we found ourselves at a bit of a loss, and struggled with getting back in control of the situation. The rest of the crew has done a fabulous job of stepping up and working together to get us back on track.
Along those lines: it seems we’re in need of a new love guru! Until 11:59 EST on November 1st, we’re re-opening auditions to cast Asar Amore. We encourage you to listen to older episodes to try and get a feel for how she sounds! We’re looking for someone who can really emulate the Asar Amore vocal experience.
Audition pieces can be found here: https://goo.gl/21BcPn
Please read All three of the listed segments. Record only the Asar Amore lines and submit your audio recording with ZERO post-processing. We want to hear the natural tone of your voice as clearly as possible. We have included the full scripts so you can see what you will be working with should you get the position!
That’s all about the audition. As for the current state of the podcast, S02E08 is the finale for Season 2. We will return mid-2018 with Season 3!
In the meantime, we are hard at work retooling things internally, like trying to set up our own website and possibly a Patreon. We would also like to make future episodes longer so it feels more podcast-length.
To that end, we’re looking for sound editors! Please e-mail us if you're interested. We’re open to making this a paid position.
Finally, we are very, very grateful for your support so far. We apologies for the delays, and our general start-stop style. This whole thing has been a big learning experience with its own unique challenges, but it's been a fun ride so far, and we hope you're willing to continue it with us when we return.
Thanks for your support and patience. Tune in next year for Season 3 and, as always, we hope you have a great day in the Wards.
i relate to grunt because I, too, would accidentally catch a car on fire and crash it in my hurry to get some noodles and I, too, love Shep and would want her to be my badass adoptive mom who helps me make friends and brings me on cool thresher maw field trips and teaches me useful social skills

re-imagined citadel dlc photo because bioware, you can’t give me a dlc specifically dedicated to proving how much this ridiculous ragtag group of buddies love each other like family, and then give me their drunken houseparty photo… where they’re all standing in strict lines at military attention not touching each other????? like, I get it, making people interact in video games isn’t easy, but that weirdly awkward photo did break my game immersion somewhat. I haven’t been to a drunken houseparty in about five years but I can tell you, they’re gonna cram as many people as possible onto that sofa, and most of them are gonna be distracted well before the photo gets taken.
TOP ROW: steve and vega are on krogan-wrangling duty. steve is better at it. zaeed wants wrex’s drink umbrella but wrex is watching him closely to make sure he puts it the fuck back. jack’s just…jack. miranda was meant to be looking kind of disgusted like “ugh really?” but I realised as I was colouring it looks like she was about to say something and got, um, distracted by jack’s tongue soooo……… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ its definitely canon that samara L O V E S babies and excited-daddy-to-be jacob would deffs have baby scans to show anyone and everyone.
BOTTOM ROW: kaidan “biotic beefcake” alenko unfortunately ends up next to garrus “unreasonably bulky armour” vakarian, and is torn between “YES FRIENDS :D” and “dear god shepard your feet s t i n k” (she fell through a fishtank yesterday kaidan give her a break). sam is tipsy enough to find this all hilarious. shepard’s the only sober one there but she’s still bein a little shit and lounging over everyone because drunk garrus is handsy garrus. liara’s trying to point out that javik’s passed out to tali but its a miracle that tali’s even sitting upright after being blasted on the bathroom floor for like an hour, so its not very effective. kasumi’s trying to convince joker that his hat would make a lot on the merch market and he’s saying that if she tries it he’ll sic edi on her (edi won’t do anything but her Disappointed Face is absolutely Devastating). javik passed out like five minutes ago and let me say, if all he gets is a bit of paper taped to his head, he gets off INCREDIBLY lightly.
