Hey Mike! I really love hearing from you and Gennelle on the AWESOME Webkinz Podcast. At first, when the first podcast came out I was super excited, but could not figure out how to get it on my ipod shuffle. A couple days ago I downloaded Podkinz to my ipod. I have been listening to Podkinz all afternoon. When I heard about the ability to send a friend request to each of you I tried to send friend requests to both of you. I am not sure if they got through. My username is klawayne. I really want to be your friends, and will send you lots of Webkinz mail. ( unless you would rather me not. ) Sometime I will probably send you a real live letter. I would like you to let me know if you can be my webkinz friends. Thank you for reading my post. You guys are THE BEST. :) Klawayne
Thanks for listening! I can definitely add you to my friend list (if there’s space left haha). I’ll write down your user name for next time I get a chance to get on. :P

I hope so and thanks again u 2 Rule with a capital R :)
Dear Mike and Gennelle, Hi I’m playnowpuppy and I want u 2 know that Podkinz Is 1 of the best things about webkinz world :) but I was wondering, since the Toadstool theme won the “Pick the next room theme” contest will the other themes in the contest eventually be made? I hope so! Thanks for everything u 2 Rock with a capital R :)
why!!!!!! I should’ve voted for the lemon drop theme. why!!!!!!
Can you check all of your mail next time you get a chance to go on, Mike? I mean, I tried to send you an awesome present like, 55 TIMES-LITERALLY-and every time it just said: “I’m sorry, your friend’s mailbox is full. Please try again later.”….WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????!!!!!!!!!!! *Sigh* Why does this always happen to me?
Mike accepted your friend request?!?!?! aww I want Mike or Gennelle on my friends list ssssssssoooooo bad :(
What ever happen to the Kinz? I miss their stories. Like how is Roberta’s little brother Reid? And the Kinz that was stuck up? Forgot her name but she thought she was better than all the other Kinz. Even though I am “older” I enjoyed the stories.
I use WKN all the time for entering events and keeping up with news. I even won my Betta Fish, Sapphire, from a contest on here!
Dear Ganz- I was wondering if there was going to be a Webkinz road trip this year because i can’t find anything about it. I’m not even sure if it already passed. If it’s going on, can you tell me where to find information?
Hi zinzogs – Unfortunately there are no plans for a Road Trip this year.
aww :(
Hey Podkinz, this is an off topic question but the suprise box thing I never got the box. The annoucement came up a few weeks ago, webkinz said they were having trouble with it. I don’t know who to contact about it. Can you help me??
When is the forums going to be brought back? I’d really like to trade on the forums before summer ends and I have to go back to school.
Hi Mike and Gennelle! The main reasons I come to Ganzworld is 1, because I love entering all the contests. 2, to check #OneWebkinzWorld, and 3, Podkinz of coarse! I love the show and listen to every episode! Thanks guys! =D
YAY!!! I got all the questions right!!! And your dog is so cute mike!!!!! =D
I like coming to Webkinz News to see concept art and designs for older items from past events. It’s awesome to see how items are designed and made for everyone in Webkinz World to enjoy. And I thought the symbol was called a pound sign! When did that change?
Hi Mike and Gennelle! I love Ganzworld, and I check what’s new on it just about every day! I love contests, and I was a runner up in the Design A Dog with the Legendary Webkinz Lab! Besides contests, I love things like Let’s Build videos, how Ganz has Newz for other sites like Amazing World (which I love), and of course, Podkinz! I would say what I would like to see in Ganzworld, but I don’t think I would change anything! I come here mainly to know what’s going on and to participate in any new events! I have one question: do you, Mike and Gennelle, help with the updates, or do you stick to commenting to us and doing Podkinz videos? Thanks! P.S. I love your new “Games” segment, and I got a score of 5 last episode. Maybe I would call this segment “Webkinz Whizkids”.
We both help make the game as well as do things for Webkinz Newz. Gennelle is a writer and the social media lead. She helps design items, pets, events, takes care of all our social media platforms and writes tons of stuff for WKN. My job is helping to put everything into the game for updates, anything from the items/pets (once Art has made them), to helping put events, Today’s Announcements, Floaty Clickies, etc. …I have a hand in almost everything haha.
Thanks for answering my question! You do a LOT, it turns out hehe! I’ll look forward to your next episode of Podkinz! P.S. Did you like my name suggestion for your new segment? You don’t have to answer me again, but if you could that would be great. :)
