ALL of the old NarniaFansCast programs have been retrieved from my badgerly archives. I can upload them to the YouTube channel.

Ooooooh awesome! :-D Let me know if you need help. They might require a video with them or something. I just added a new Podcast listing to the youtube for NarniaFansCast, including the original logo we had for it.
I am thinking, if we can create a look/feel for a video version of the podcast, I can likely create it.
I might even try something like this: https://audioship.io/pricing?from=top_nav
But I also have Adobe Premiere and DaVinci Resolve that I can use to assemble a video version of it. I was thinking of having an animated audio-wave and some slight animations so that there's no burn-in on older LCD TVs if people play it there.
I'm also thinking of doing a slow release over weeks/months, so as to not flood people's youtube subscriptions with episodes, and hopefully build up more subscribers.

This rather massive project for "The Visitor" requires that I assemble vocal talent from more than one location, and that I carefully time and mesh effects, voices, and narration. I forsee having the finished product done before the end of this month.
To have some idea, imagine this. You come into someone's room and hug them. So it's <STEP STEP STEP> <LATCH> <CREAK> <STEP STEP STEP> <CLOTHES RUSTLE> <EMBRACE> <PAT PAT> [JIM] "Darling, it's good to see you! <BEAT> [NANCY] "Jimmy, I hope you're going to be in town for a while." <SIMUL SIGHS> <BRIEFCASE DOWN> <CLOTHES RUSTLE>

Upload of all episodes from 001 to 045 is now complete, as is the Patrick Swanson opener and closer music.
What do you think about having, perhaps, a "NarniaFansCast Archive" podcast playlist for the original shows, and a "NarniaFansCast" podcast playlist for the new shows? Or... "Cair Paravel Studios" podcast playlist for these?
Any thoughts on what direction?
We could also just have the new ones follow from episode 46 onward... I had been considering doing the re-release at a cadence of 2/week of the old episodes, but I could go faster than that, even releasing 5/week Monday-Friday, with 45 episodes, it would take 9 weeks to get all of the episodes live.
One thing I have learned about YouTube is not to flood a channel with too much new content all at once. When people who subscribe to a bunch of things go about their daily routines, they'll see that you have far too much content at one time, and don't know if that's going to be the norm, so they unsubscribe.
I'll run through a little Pros and Cons:
NarniaFansCast Archive + NarniaFansCast or Cair Paravel Studios
- Can schedule the NarniaFansCast Archive episodes on Monday/Wednesday/Friday, which would go until Summer, sometime depending on when it is started.
- Is easy to see which is which
- Could cause confusion with the same name for two podcasts, unless the name is the new one.
- It's more than one thing to follow, which we're already going to have a little of, with the resurrection of the old NarniaCast episodes also making a comeback at some point in their own list.
NarniaFansCast (all-in-one)
- Might want to wait until all original episodes are launched, unless we knew we had a rhythm to the release of the new episodes, etc.
- We would want to have a daily release for 9 weeks to be able to get there sooner, if necessary.
- Could still schedule the NarniaFansCast Archive episodes on Monday/Wednesday/Friday, which would go until Summer, sometime depending on when it is started. I will be labelling all the old episodes as "Archive" regardless.
- It's one place for people to subscribe and follow along with.
Cair Paravel Studios
- Could serve as a new brand for the radio dramas. If I recall correctly, a lot of the later episodes of NarniaFansCast were Byron on Wells stories or somesuch (been almost 20 years).
- Any of the old radio dramas could potentially be updated/moved under that banner. Same channel, different podcast playlist. Thinking about this makes me cross-eyed, but I would want to ensure that we are organizing things properly.
