OPSEC Airsoft Radio
The Official Voice of SoCal Airsoft
 
Our old pals Bronco, Jody, Tak and Toby sat in on the show this week to discuss Historical Airsoft Events with us. Bronco, being the history buff and expert on the subject, gave us more solid info that we could ever drum up on our own. A very educational and interesting night.

We discussed what went down this week in the SoCal Airsoft scene and even covered two new airsoft items:

- Inokatsu M60A1
- PPP 8mm Browning M2 .50 Caliber Machine Gun

Pricey, but amazing new items that should serve those interested in historial airsoft reenactment well. We also had a follow-up Master Debater about historical airsoft reenactment, Vietnam vs WW2 in which Vietnam won as the master on the subject Bronco blew me out of the water! (Code Pink!). All-in-all... a very educational yet entertaining program... something we cant tout often!

This week, Longshanks (a good friend of the program) sat in the studio to discuss The Airsoft Grenadier. Knowing his joy of the role, we shifted the main topic to suit him and even brought back an old feature (Master Debater) just to see his face get red! We had a blast with Shanks and look forward to his return.

On the program, we debuted two new features:
- In-Studio Webcam
Not too much fun.. but for those that want to see what goes on... yea.

- This Week in SoCal Airsoft
A look at the on-goings in our community featuring the latest news, games, and other misc nuggets of fried gold.

We also brought back a old favorite, Master Debater. A bit where we take a burning question from the community and settle it once and for all. In the past we have done TM vs CA, M100 vs M120 and Hicaps vs Locaps. Last night, it was Airsoft; Hobby or Sport. Hobby squeeked by for the win... though we all agreed that there are elements of sport in the hobby.

For the main topic, we continued our "Know Your Role" series with The Airsoft Grenadier. Longshanks is more qualified to discuss this role than any one of us staffers and he came through big time. He laid out the costs, best shells to use, different types of ammo and much, much more. The segment ran longer than we would have liked, but with so much damn good info, why cut it short?

We doubled our fun (and show length!) this week having both Father Rich and Xan in-studio to raise a little hell. In retrospect, we should have had them both on seperate shows as there was just too much content that got pushed aside because of time. Regardless, a good time was had and they were merciless in their promotion of a certain game at a certain field... which made for great fun and many laughs.

This week we coved the major games in and around CA and even one in TN. The main topic was the Airsoft SAW, classification, purpose, function, etc. We talked in great length and even took a few calls on the subject reenforcing our perspective... so bonus! Xan also gave us our very first REAL in-field reporting when he interviewed Charlie (Pal of Longshanks) about his first time airsofting, coming from a paintball background. Later on we attempted to interview both Rich and Xan, sadly, time got the best of us and we could not devote the time the interview deserved. All the details of the show can be found on the Oct 11th Show Notes page:

The music for this weeks show was inspired by an e-mail we recieved from Lisa of the Techno Squirrels. We cruised for hours looking for Electro groups that turned us on, and I think the choices we pretty solid. As a thank you from us to Lisa, we dedicated the second break to the music of the Techno Squirrels.

This much fun should be illegal! We had an absolute blast with our old pal Heme from Gorilla Pack in the studio. Amazingly enough, everyone was on time and the good times ensued. Jem was back for his 2nd round as co host and I must say, did a much better job. More loose, relaxed and focused.

We sprung our fake Irene IV interviews on the listeners to with great reactions all the way around. "Pirate Ship?" "Octopus?" Yea, all fake. We cleared this bit with John Lu to avoid any future issues so there is no need to pester the busy man. The bit was 100% fake and I hope everyone enjoyed it.

There is one hint of 'unpleasantness' that deserves attention, our good pal Jedi from the SoCal forums took a verbal beating at the hands of our former in-studio helper monkey Lemon. We have edited that part out of the show out of respect for Jedi and offer our deepest apologies for letting the bit of audio hit the live air.
