Happy New Year! Congratulations on making it this far. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's Eve no matter where you are. Thanks for spending time with us as we ring in a new year and kick 2018 out the door like a drunk that's been cut off at the bar. Topics Include: Christmas Recap, including some of the fun gifts my wife and I got. Also, some asshole keyed our car Christmas night. 2018: A Year in Review (spoilers: it sucked.) Why New Year's Resolutions Don't Work A look ahead to 2019, and what I want to accomplish in the year. Thank you very much for listening! "No Retakes" is only a few months old, but I'm having a blast doing the show, and I hope you're enjoying listening. If you'd like to get in touch, you can find me on Twitter @JustChrisWood. Until next time, have a great week!

Episode 7 - Hear, Hear, It's a New Year!

Thanks for joining us for another episode, recorded the morning of Christmas Eve. There wasn't really a plan for this episode; it came together at the last minute. Like, imagine how much planning I usually do for these episodes, and then chop that into quarters. But still, I hope you have fun with it! It was a blast to record. Topics include: - What Christmas means to me - Why I use "Happy Holidays" as my holiday greeting (It's a personal choice.) - Lots of D&D talk - Using RPGs as practice for your acting - That "Hellboy" trailer, tho - My life is consumed by hockey. - I may have a gig coming up soon (!!!!!!!) Thanks for listening! If you like what you heard, you can find me on Twitter @JustChrisWood and on Twitch at the same username. No matter when you listen to this episode, I hope that you and yours have a great holiday. See you on New Years Eve!

Episode 6 - Christmas Grab-Bag

We're a little late this week, and I apologize for that. It has been a busy week, and I'm still a little lagged from an eight-hour car ride. But despite all that, podcast has been achieved. Topics include: - How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Audition - Spending the weekend upstate with family - Planning tonight's D&D game, and the struggle between too many ideas and not enough time to use them all. Thanks for listening! If you like what you heard, you can let me know on Twitter @JustChrisWood or on Twitch @ JustChrisWood. We have two great episodes planned to close out 2018 with, so thanks for coming along on the journey with us!

Episode 5 - Home for the Holidays

It's our Post-PAX Episode! We had a blast in Philly, and Gritty sought fit to spare us from his wrath, so we're here to tell you all about it. (Although Philly did do a number on my beloved Sabres last weekend. The universe is balance.) Topics range the gamut from: - My increased appreciation for cooking and mixology. - I'm a filthy, filthy liar - Getting rid of old board games - The trap of Career Envy, and being happy for others - Auditions - PAX Unplugged 2018!!! - Gender Identity and why it's important (Also, I dropped the pretense that I'll ever get these down to 30 minutes, so I'm just going to let the episodes be as long as they need to be.) Thanks for listening! If you like what you hear, you can find me on Twitter @JustChrisWood or on Twitch at the same user name. I'll be visiting family next weekend, but a new episode will come out on Monday on schedule. I also have some interesting ideas lined up for the future, including maybe an interview (!), so stay tuned.

Episode 4 - On the Streets of Philadelphia

Welcome to the third episode of “No Retakes,” recorded a little earlier than usual so I could head down to Philly for the weekend. Topics Include: - Voice Matching, and singing in the car, the conclusion of the Mystery of the Missing OS Partition, my newfound love of hockey (#LetsGoBuffalo), and preparing for PAX Unplugged.

Episode 3: Sports Talk and PAX Unplugged

This is another episode that ran longer than anticipated. Someday I'll get these right, but until that day, more podcast for everybody! Topics include: - Where I'm at with my journey in voice acting. - My brief stint in radio, and how much fun I didn't realize I was having - A Thanksgiving adventure involving my wife, a hard drive, and a year's worth of comic art at risk. Thanks for listening! If you'd like to get in touch, you can find me on Twitter @JustChrisWood or on Twitch at the same handle. (PROGRAMMING NOTE: The next episode of "No Retakes" could be delayed a day or two due to PAX Unplugged, but I'm working to make sure that isn't the case.)

Episode 2 - The First Thought Toward the First Step

On this inaugural episode of "No Retakes", I introduce myself (Hi, I'm Chris!), and talk about what has been on my mind for the last week. Topics include: - The mission statement for "No Retakes" - Amazon's HQ2 coming to Queens - Falling out of love with NYC - Remembering Stan Lee - Detective Pikachu. I know, right?! "No Retakes" releases every Monday morning on the podcast platform of your choice.
