'The Indy Show' debuts

Ever wanted to have a conversation about your favorite Indiana Jones movie with someone but no one with the same enthusiasm was around?

Well now someone is. “The Indy Show” made its Internet debut Sept. 13, giving fans another forum to interact with each other. The show is hosted by IndyGear.com and IndyGames.com staff member Rob Taylor and IndyGear founder John Bickel, who goes by the Internet moniker Indiana John. Lurking in the backdrop of the show is John Walker, founder of the IndyGames Web site.

“Rob Taylor is working with us on IndyGames.com and approached me and John Bickel about possibly tying in a radio show with both of the sites (IndyGear and IndyGames). We all met up at Lycos for him to show us what he could do and we were very impressed. I had no idea that chat shows could be hosted over the Internet! It's pretty amazing the things you can do!” Walker said.

The show can be found through links on IndyGear.com or IndyGames.com or directly at the Lycos Talk Radio site http://talkradio.lycos.com/talkradio/lyc... The site allows visitors to listen, call-in, and broadcast live, interactive Internet talk radio shows for free. Just download and install the Wonderhorse Listener to enjoy “The Indy Show.” To participate in conversations a microphone is needed. Otherwise basic computer speakers allow listening only to the show.

“The Indy Show” is a weekly show airing Thursday evenings at 8 p.m. EST. lasting for an hour or so. With the freedom of the Internet and the obsessiveness of Indiana Jones fans, the talk show could last longer than an hour.

“Time tends to speed up when you're using these things and before you know it an hour is over,” Walker said.

The hour format is plenty of time to squeeze in conversations about Indiana Jones video games, movies, the television show, or the potential of a fourth film in the series. Currently the gang behind the show have a number of exclusive interviews lined up for the debut of IndyGames.com. The site is still under construction and looks to capture a niche about Indiana Jones that doesn’t have a strong Internet presence…the video games.

“I guess we all have interests and some people pursue theirs more than others. I've always loved the Indiana Jones movies since I first saw them, and playing Indy via computer games was just a natural progression of that I guess,” Walker said. “The really great thing about IndyGames.com is the fact that we are documenting every single Indiana Jones game in existence, and there are a LOT more than most people are aware.”
