Not being inclined to do reddit, i have just learned of the sub reddit for TMA. Through this i found a rather amusing post regarding Jonny's annoying fake british accent! I literally laughed aloud on reading it, especially when the person in question continued to doubt its authenticity after being told it's a London based company. I also enjoyed the suggestion that he'd been asked to put that voice on to accomodate American listeners who don't understand our regional accents.
Are the reddit folk a different bunch to those here, or do some of you post to both?

Yeah, we've been a bit wary of Reddit, mainly coz it's hard to do self-promotion on there. However, I wasn't aware we had a sub-reddit already. Time to check that out...

I find it fascinating these guys have decided to create a Reddit for it, even tho at the end of every episode you guys always advertise your own forum.
its pretty cool, you are making something which is bringing people together.
Having a look at some of the comments on some threads, these guys have some good ideas and theory's. I wish they would pop themselves over here instead. they might get their questions about the podcast answered.

Yeah, it's much easier to be a Community Manager when everyone is herded into the same area  I'll do a shout out there soon for questions to add to the 'Ask Jonny' recording. |

"I think it is a bit exaggerated, but it's an exaggeration of his actual accent, rather than putting one on"
That bit always makes me laugh for some reason XD
I do reddit, but the TMA sub always seems a bit empty. I just come here instead =]

is this you Jonny? I feel so bad that they are being pretty rude about your accent.

I was pretty sure it was him, because JonnyDV is in line with the name of his Mechanisms character
(Incidentally, it's still weird interacting with you, Jonny, after buying your CDs and seeing you live as a totally different character (I hope you're a totally different character to Jonny deVille))

Yeah. Felt like I should probably say something, given as how I'm something of an expert on my voice, but at the same time I really didn't want to be like "this is me and how dare you!" To be honest it's far funnier than it is hurtful - I largely just want to make sure people don't think it's put on as I feel going into it with that in mind could really affect their enjoyment (Incidentally, it's still weird interacting with you, Jonny, after buying your CDs and seeing you live as a totally different character (I hope you're a totally different character to Jonny deVille)) I contain multitudes |

Now that I know it doesn't make Jonny sad, I can admit that I definitely sent the podcast to a British friend and asked if Jonny's was a real British accent. He called me "daft" or something, god only knows what THAT means! (Kidding...) (Well, he DID call me daft.)

We all think your accent is charming! Also, what's this about CDs and so on? Where does one acquire them? What are they? |

Oh boy, are you in for a treat : themechanisms.bandcamp.com/I believe the description goes: "The Mechanisms: a band of immortal space pirates roaming the universe in the starship Aurora. Some say they’re from a steampunk future, others claim they’re from a cyberpunk past, a few even whisper that they may be from a dieselpunk alternate now. They are all correct." also back the kickstarter for album 4 |
