The New Chat Room for Route 67

We have had a couple of problems with the chat room on Talkshoe. Because of this, we decided to move the after-show chat to another chat client. Chatzy.
It seems like a good little system and it definitely has some added benefits and features. The best feature is that the chat room will stay open 24/7. So you ....we can chat anytime we want. No pesky time limits. Because of this new feature, we are planning on having a few chat sessions on Thursdays, during the airing of that week's Supernatural episode.

This room will probably have spoilers, so beware.
Keep all comments PG-13.
Feel free to check back often to see if any one is in the chat room anytime or any day of week.
Chat as long as you want.
Have fun but be kind.
Threatening comments and behaviors will not be tolerated.

Just a note about the trivia round starting 10/24

Because we will not have a show this week, we're going to do something a little different with the trivia questions. There will be two website trivia questions instead of one. The same rules apply, however.

Good Luck! We look forward to hearing from you!

Episode 13

Due to technical difficulties, episode 13 of our podcast did not record.  As such, we will be doing a lite version of the podcast on Wednesday, October 14th at 7pm eastern time.  This version will be primarily a review of 'Fallen Idols,' episode 5.5 of Supernatural, with just a few announcements and no news.  We do, of course encourage you to check out 'Supernatural' Boss to Fans: 'Withhold Judgement on Paris Hilton' by Ausiello at EW on your own.

As the podcast will be broadcast later in the week than is normal, in just this one case we are posting the podcast trivia question on the blog in an effort give you as much time as possible to reply.  This is a one time thing due to the technical difficulties.  Answers should still be received by Friday at midnight eastern.

What is the Latin inscription on the Colt?  (We are looking for the Latin phrase, not the English translation.  As a hint, this answer can be found in a season one episode.)

Please email your answer to route67spn@gmail.com and let us know that you are responding to the podcast question.  For complete rules, please click here.

We're sorry this is so crazy this week, and we are still looking forward to moving to our new regular schedule of Saturdays at 8pm.

Trouble with the recording of Episode 13

I have just realized there might be some problem with the recording for Episode 13, which broadcast last night.  For those of you who listen to the recorded podcast, you may not be able to find it.  We are looking at the issue and will let you know what we plan to do about this, and about the trivia question asked in last night's podcast.  This was a problem with the Talkshoe server that effected all podcasts last night.  If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please email us at route67spn@gmail.com.
