Spirit Blade Competition Promo

admin — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 12:42:11 +0000

Here’s a special promo for the Spirit Blade competition at the end of this month. Feel free to link to it from your blog/website/facebook etc - I’ll get better instructions on doing that soon.

Spirit Blade Productions

admin — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 15:19:01 +0000

If you’ve not yet listened to Episode 6 you may not have heard mention of Spirit Blade Productions…..

Spirit Blade is a Christan sci-fi futuristic action audio drama that will be getting a bit of press here and on the show. We’ve got an interview lined up with the creator, Paeter Frandsen, plus a competition where we’re giving away the 2 CD Boxset of the first part (that’s over 2 hours of high-quality, full casted audio drama). We might even fit in a proper review of both parts of the drama.

For more information check out their website at SpiritBlade.net.

S01E06 - Hip-Hoppy Christmas Yakky

admin — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 08:00:56 +0000

Yuletide greetings to all our listeners. On time for once! James, Al, Ben and Scott fly back onto the airwaves with a special(ish) Christmas edition of Classic Yak. The main topic is Spiritual Experience vs Biblical Teaching, but equally exciting is the Secret Santa Segment. Plus there’s BBC News and emails. Not satisfied with that? Well, we announce the results of the Classic Yak promotion competition, and whet your appetite for an upcoming competition with accompanying interview! It’s like Christmas!

Intro [00:53]
Spiritual Experience vs Biblical Teaching [01:15]
Secret Santa and New Year Predictions [29:13]
BBC News [42:13]

Amish Gene Limits Heart Disease [43:08]
Experts to help decaying churches [45:29]

Emails, Competitions and Outro [54:25]
- Spirit Blade Trailer [59:07]
End [63:18]

Note: In my excitement I gave out incorrect details for the Spirit Blade audio drama. The first part (”Spirit Blade”) is 2 hrs 25 minutes long on 2 CDs (not 3 hrs/3 CDs as stated on the show) and the 2nd part (”Dark Ritual”) is 3 hrs 10 minutes on 3 CDs (not 5 hours/5 CDs). Sorry for the confusion.

Sound effects used on this show:

Do you really want to hear Goos?

admin — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 15:17:45 +0000

With only a week left, Goos is still the front-runner in the CY promotion competition. Do you really want Goos’ dulcet tones to be the first ever guest presenter of CY? If not, better get your entries in. Simply get some friends to write in to show@classicyak.org and say that you told them about CY. Simple as that. The world and their ears will thank you….

Advance warning of episode 5 delay

admin — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 09:56:17 +0000

OK - you can all blame Ben for this. The recording of Episode 5 won’t be happening until next Sunday, the 23rd November. However, the last Monday of the month is the 24th! So the episode won’t get released then. We’ll get it released as soon as is humanly possible.

Episode 4 delayed (a bit)

admin — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 09:53:50 +0000

We’re still hoping to get the release out today, but it will be this evening, rather than this morning. Apologies for any distress/cravings/withdrawals that this may cause.
