Scape Fu the planted aquarium podcast

[MiamiArt]

Hi everyone,

Just a quick note here to let you know about a new planted aquarium podcast that I've started called Scape Fu.

So far, we have two episodes up- Episode 1 features an interview with Erik Olson and 2 one with Ghazanfar Ghori. In the queue are JohnN (aquascapingworld.com), Karen Randall, Frank Wazeter (ADG), Mike and Jeff Senske, Oliver Knott and Claus Christensen to name a few. It's very exciting for me to spend time with these planted aquarium experts and get their perspective on the hobby that we all love.

Please check it out and spread the word. Your feedback is hugely important as we're trying to bring you interesting and entertaining content that you want to hear. So, please give me your thoughts, comments, suggestions, etc. right here, at the website, via email or on our listener line.

Lastly, I want to thank PT for having a forum were these types of startups can alert planted aquarium hobbysts about their existance.

Best regards,

Art

Hey Art, this is great. I just listened to the two 'casts, and it was great hearing those well-known folks share their thoughts and experiences.

Keep it up... Looking forward to future interviews.

(You have the link to Ghazanfar's site misspelled - missing the "r" in kyptokoryne)

Thanks! Took care of the link issue.

Great podcast Art. I just watched episode one and came on here to make a thread for your site, but found it already done. I should be going to bed, but it is time to watch episode 2.

One recommendation that I have for an interview session would be the Lo brothers of Aqua Forest Aquarium. I figured if you are going to have the Senske's, might as well round out the group of ADA importers here in the US.

Once again, great site and I hope to see many many more episodes.

Nice job, Art! Long time no post, eh?

I was just thinking about how we need more planted aquarium podcasts. There was another member on here that did a couple, but stopped.

Thanks for doing the work to make some nice podcasts.

Hey, thank you very much. I really appreciate your feedback.

The Lo brothers have agreed to do an interview so look for them around episode 7 or 8.

Keep sending us ideas for other interviewees you want to hear from and we'll be sure to get them on. Also, please submit any questions or comments you have to us via email or the listener line.

Thanks! Yes, it's been a while since I posted on the forums but, as you can see, the passion has never left.

Also, I credit David, the one who did the first podcasts, with giving me the inspiration and idea. I exchanged emails with him to make sure he wasn't going to be making more prior to setting out on the venture. We should all thank him and his wife for their efforts.

Just a quick note to let you know that Episode 3 is up! This time we feature JohnN of Aquascaping World and Frank Wazeter of ADG. Please have a listen: http://www.scapefu.com/2010/09/11/sc...frank-wazeter/

Thanks and please spread the word.

Once again, great job Art. I think this episode is my favorite thus far.

I'll have to come up with some questions for your listener line. I'm still trying to come up with something decent here.

Just curious, who does your site development?

Regards,
Armonious (Andrew Shafer)

[MiamiArt]

Thanks!

I do the site development. I'm not very good but I'm cheap ;-).

[Armonious]

If you are looking for someone who can give the site's appearance a bit of an edge, we have a couple members here on the forums who are professional graphic designers or web designers. Who knows, maybe if they appreciate the site enough, they would be willing to do a bit of work on it for you.

[MiamiArt]

Scape Fu is looking for someone to handle the Newbie Corner segment. If you have time and are interested in being a regular on the podcast, please let me know.

You would be giving advice and tips for newbies entering the hobby.

Thanks,

Art

Just an FYI to let you know that Episode 5: THe Big One is live on the site and iTunes/Zune. This time we have hydrophyte on ripariums, Karen Randall and Jeff Senske.

Regards,

Art

Thank you for that. I would certainly like for a Tom Barr interview : ).
