Yogscast Tribute (Simon Honeydew)(02:38)
1,411 views

The YoGPoD is the official podcast of the Yogscast duo Lewis and Simon. The first episode, Snowcast, was uploaded on February 2, 2009. The YoGPoD features general conversations between Lewis and Simon about events around the world and their lives. However, both have a tendency to go into off topic discussions revolving around a mistake the other may have made or a statement's absurdity.

All of the podcasts are available through this RSS link that can be added to your favourite media player or through Apple iTunes. The first 33 episodes are also available from Podcast Alley.

The name YoGPoD came from a conversation which was uploaded in the YouTube video "Now Available... The YOGSCAST Podcast".

Recently a fan, FredMalm, has created animated videos giving visuals to the YoGPoD. These have been uploaded to the Yogscast with very favourable responses.

StructureEdit

The structure of the YoGPoD is always changing as Lewis and Simon come up with new ideas. Somewhat consistent sections of the podcast include Vyrian's Film Review, Hannah's Cooking Segment, Letters from the Yognau(gh)ts and Into the Mind of Woman, however none of these have featured on the most recent episodes as Lewis and Simon seem to be going back to the more conversational format of the older YoGPoD episodes. In between discussions on various topics, 'YoGPoD Liners' (typically by Simon) are played.

Recurring CharactersEdit

• Brian Blessed
• Kenny Baker
• J.K. Rowling
• Michael MacDonald
• Queen Elizabeth II
• Tina Barrett
• Warwick Davis
• Zhuang Ji
• Gary Coleman
• Gary Coleman's ghost

Guests Edit

Many of Simon's and Lewis's guildmates appear on the Podcast as non-celebrity guests (see the celebrity guests above), whether they appear often, or rarely.

• Yohimitsu
• Sips (Chris)
• Lomadia (Hannah)
• Vyrianne
• Ravs
• Pierson
• Drahl
• Mulchie
• Lalna (Duncan)

Some people have appeared on the YoGPoD who weren't part of YOGS and are outside interviewers/interviewees/other special guests:

• Stayven of Nordrassil Radio
• Kristian Nairn, actor of Hordor in HBO's Game of Thrones 
• Turpster (although he now does work for the Yogscast, and was once a goon, although it is not known whether he was part of YOGS)
• Mike Schramm
• Dead Workers Party (The Shaft Podcast)

Intro MusicEdit

Made by a user named 'Captain Rhythm' on 'Ye Olde Goones Squade Forums' , it consists of a musical accompaniment to Simon singing 'This is the Yogpod' out of tune to the Star Wars theme.

The intro music was first used on YoGPoD 10: Hanging to the left, where at the start of the episode Lewis shows the music to Yohi. This is one of only three instances since being introduced that the music was not used as introduction music to the episode. It is also the only time that the music is heard in full

SpecialsEdit

• Halloween Special
• Halloween Spacktacular
• Christmas 2010 Special
• Christmas 2011 Special
• Halloween Spack-2-Cular

D&D AdventuresEdit

Main Article: D&D Adventures

Apart from their usual set up, Simon introduces Lewis and Hannah to the pen and paper game Dungeons and Dragons. There has currently been one complete series, in which Simon acts as the group's Dungeon Master and therefore controls the storyline, NPCs, encounters, ect. whilst also playing as Dylan, a human bard, with Hannah joining him as Madeowyn, the elven mage, and Lewis as Brick, a golem with undisclosed class. There is also a second, incomplete series, which also features Sips, role-playing a goliath bard, and Mulchie, playing a doppelganger rogue of the same name. They are currently taking a break from D&D, since tensions arose between Hannah and Lewis over a certain goblin named Barry and an invincible cat.

The Last WatchEdit

Main Article: The Last Watch

The Last Watch is a fan-fiction short story written by Lewis and read by Simon for YoGPoD 13. It is a story about Gilneas's defense against the Scourge during The Third War. A dark agent of the scourge, Arthas, threatens to crush the city before his leave.

Guest AppearancesEdit

To date, Lewis and Simon have made 4 guest appearances on the YoGPoD. They have appeared twice on Nordrassil Radio, the first time with DJ Stayven and the second time they were the hosts of the show. They have also featured on The Incredible Podcast of Amazing Awesomeness and The Shaft. These podcasts can be found alongside their main podcasts on their iTunes page.

Outside of the YoGPoD, they have appeared on a number of other podcasts, for instance, when Simon guest-starred on the sixth TGS Podcast.

ControversyEdit

It is generally believed and suggested multiple times in the YoGPoD by Lewis and Simon that listening to the podcast over long periods of time will lead you to becoming generally insane. The fact that you tuned into the YoGPoD shows your insanity and the more you listen to it the further you will lose yourself. Despite this theory, many continue to live amongst the common people.

The theory was born when a brave Yognau(gh)t listened to every episode that had been released at the time of his experiment being carried out and the results were shocking. He started seeing vans carrying huge quantities of Jaffa Cakes across Europe and almost died multiple times from swerving from laughter. Although nobody has actually died yet, as the number of YoGPoD listeners grows new listeners should be made aware of what YoGPoD overdose can lead to.

Simon has issued a warning in episode 25: Chess Boxing and other New Years Party Games, that the YoGPoD could give girls the plague. This is because when a listener sent a letter to Lewis, it contained information telling him that when the sender of the letter played the YoGPoD in a car with two other girls, it looked as though they had caught the plague.

    I've been listening to it on the bus every day, and I'm up to episode 22. I'll assume you don't, as I haven't gone crazy. Or at least, I do... 2013-05-17T02:09:03Z
