Thank you, and goodnight. 
As we announced on our Thomas Dolby episode, we’re re-branding with the reboot of the podcast! The ARGNetcast will now be known as the StoryForward Podcast.
So why a new name, you ask? Over the past decade, we’ve watched as Alternate Reality Gaming has expanded in scope, really beginning to take hold in various forms as not just ARGs, but Transmedia Storytelling, Viral campaigns, Apps, Events and more. With storytelling still at the core of our discussions, we wanted the name of the podcast to reflect the fact that we’ve begun to talk about more than just ARGs.
So we bid a fond farewell to ARGNetcast as a label. Many thanks to Jonathan Waite, Sean C. Stacey, Marie Lamb and the rest who made the ARGNetcast as great as it was, and we look forward to continue discussing the future of Entertainment and Storytelling as the StoryForward Podcast.
We’ll stop updating this website at this point, as everything can now be found at the new StoryForward Podcast website. If you subscribe via iTunes, you don’t need to take any action, as everything will update automatically. And don’t worry, we’ll be keeping all 127 ARGNetcast episodes archived at the new website, so you’ll be able to listen to any of them any time.

Hello, everybody! So good to see you again! How have you been? Me? I’ve been good, thank you. Ya know, busy busy busy.
What’s that? You heard that ARGNetcast is coming back from Hiatus? Well, you heard right!
That’s right, the ARGNetcast is still alive and kicking, and will return to the WiFiWaves in January 2012. We’ll have a whole new format for a whole new year, and, most importantly, will be welcoming a new co-host to the show!
I’m very excited about this, and am looking forward to giving you more information as it becomes available. Well, it’s available now, but I don’t want to reveal who my new co-host is….just…..yet.
Meanwhile, we’ll be hard at work behind the scenes making a brighter, kinder, gentler, more awesome ARGNetcast than ever before!
So, stay tuned. More to come!
