IN THIS EPISODE…
…we debut our first ever “mini” episode (OK, it’s not THAT mini, we guess) as we take a brief glimpse into Webkinz’s early days.
Sneek Peek: A quick look at upcoming St. Patrick’s Day events!
What’s In Our KinzPost?: We read letters and comments from Webkinz World members about their favorite Webkinz memories.
Meet a Ganz-er: We speak with Laura, an Associate Producer at Ganz, who played an important part in creating Webkinz from the very beginning.
What’s Next: We have important St. Patrick’s Day questions for our listeners!
I don’t have a Twitter or any other social media, so I can’t really tell you guys my idea. So, I decided to just type it on here. Since the new “Grumpy Cat” plush is based on an animal internet celebrity, I though maybe you guys could make “Nyan Cat” a plush webkinz. It’d mean so much to me if you reply!! :) ~ Justice374420
Cute idea! PSF would have to be a rainbow pop tart, right? ;)
I’m part Scottish.
Also, the purple equestrian top, old lady cape, Plumpy’s wig, all items I have learned about but they said it was never released. Webkinz Insider told me. Why were they never released? And why was the Webkinz T- Shirt Designer removed? That was another thing on Webkinz Insider. Also, can you guys have Wishing Well and Wishing Well 2 in the arcade? It would be much better. I also have new ideas for themes. I think a Gingerbread House theme, Roses and Flowers Theme, and Bee Hive theme. Also some other ideas ( I will list them here) Peekaboo Cheese Block, Pink Cheetah Print Tutu Dress, Must Love Cats Dress, Doggie Top Hat, Adventure Time Finn and Jake costumes, Black Cat costume, Tea Cup ride, Kitty Tiara, Made of Daisies dress and tiara, and Gummy pet seeds. The pets would be the Alley Cat, Cocker Spainel, Pig, and Hippo. I have SOOOOO many ideas, and I wish I could work at Ganz to show you guys! Friend princesskitty0608.
Hi Podkinz! I am really wondering if you guys still do the TV contests? I have made some shows I wanna enter. Also, can my Webkinz designs be made into a plush if everyone likes it?
Mike and Gennelle are you deluxe?
i mean 28ish
mike gets muted at 36ish seconds into it and i like the sound effects
I think I love St. Patrick’s day because of the green color. Since it’s right around where spring begins it’s kind of like celebrating spring coming and winter going. I’ll really be celebrating spring this year because this winter has been brutal! Also what I’m most looking forward too is catching the leprechaun event, it’s always so frustrating, yet so much fun! The thrill of the hunt you know?
That was a great mini episode! I’ve always wondered about Webkinz history, and now I know!
Yay! More Podkinz, thanks! I loved this mini-episode, I was playing the Star Burst game for the Deluxe March Challenge as I listened. I think my favorite part about St. Patrick’s Day is Webkinz, my family doesn’t celebrate it much besides going to the St Patrick’s Day Parade where I live. I love finding the leprechaun in the clubhouse, it’s fun to click on him and get the jelly coins to find to my pets. -BT
I meant StarDrops and feed to my pets, not find! Haha! Sorry… -BT
