Who, or what, are The Lightning Dogs? They’re a pack of anthropomorphic dogs from another world, trapped on a post-apocalyptic Earth. Armed with special powers and tearing through the Wasteland in their battle-ready vehicles, they combat the evil Glampire’s minions and keep his vampiric reach from extending to the stars! It’s an animated adventure series steeped in the glory of 80s and 90s cartoons… Or at least it could be. We’re on a quest to see how far we can take it – documenting our journey every step of the way in Lightning Dogs: The Official Paw’dcast. LIGHTNINGDOGS.COM

An Animated Short is in Production!

Episode 29

Wednesday, April 17, 2019 • Duration 43:19

Our documentary journey has been quiet for some time - but we're breaking that silence with earth-shattering news: we have a Lightning Dogs animated short in production!

We're excited to announce that we've teamed up with The DAVE School to at long last bring our Dogs to life. The short is in the midst of production and we have a wealth of stories to tell: from the multiple scripts that led us to this one crystallized tale, to the big changes to characters, to suiting up for performance capture, and much more!

Flash-forward to the present as Cap, Doug, and Producer, John La Valle give a spoiler-free, birds-eye view of how this project came together and who's involved. And then flash-back as we catch you up on what we've been up to... Because even while our podcast chronicle has grown cold, things have still been heated behind-the-scenes! #HowlNoise

The Horrors of Queen Lich

Episode 22

Monday, July 17, 2017 • Duration 57:17

She once was human - but sacrificed her humanity at the alter of science! Queen Lich is the boogeyman of The Wasteland - harvesting the genetic material of unsuspecting peoploids for her sinister experiments... but there's still so much we don't know about her. The team brainstorms new takes on this nemesis while Tony devises some accompanying visuals for her action-figure ready, hot-swappable visage. We pull references from some of our favorite eerie corners of pop culture and create for the queen a deeper backstory and truly unsettling cohort. But that's not all! In this episode we go deeper behind the scenes than ever before and take you into the business meeting that changed our intentions for Lightning Dogs completely.

The Lightning Rig

Episode 21

Friday, June 23, 2017 • Duration 52:49

Having completed the principle design for our signature vehicle, The Lightning Rod, two of our heroes' rides remained: the large battle tram the Brutus, and the light scout vehicle, the Rover. Doug, Tony, and Cap team up once again with concept artist Max Acree to pour over an incredible batch of extremely different designs and explore uncanny real world references. But it's not only The Lightning Dogs that are getting garage time, we also break new ground on Halloween Jack's souped-up hot rod that's as twisted as he is and answer the all-important question: how many engines could you conceivably fit on a car? Get the Lightning Dogs Sketchbook!

The Team Assembles

Episode 20

Monday, May 1, 2017 • Duration 47:39

Long, long ago we wrote dedicated bios for three of our hero dogs: Pierre, Angela, and Kid - only to realize that without knowing more about the world they came from there were severe limitations on how much we could truly know about their backgrounds. So we set aside the task of doing bios for the three remaining Lightning Dogs and carved out the history of their homeworld. We'd planned on getting right back to writing bios, but The Wasteland had other plans. Now, at long last, we sit down and give Dingo, Narisa, and Kane their much-deserved time in the spotlight. In this episode Doug, Tony, and Cap finish the key foundations of our core characters and give a much-needed injection of weird and whimsy back into the wasteland - including the creation of two new characters.

The Lightning Rod

Episode 19

Monday, April 17, 2017 • Duration 37:47

In this episode we make some important decisions about our heroes’ main rides. You’ve heard us pin down the Lightning Dogs three distinct vehicles: The large, armored utility vehicle; the Brutus, the small scout; the Fido, and our all-terrain signature vehicle, the Rover - aka the Lightning Rod. The Lightning Rod is almost done, but one key detail remains: what is it like on the inside? That might sound like a simple enough question, but it becomes a real point of contention as we discuss how characters would interact in our hypothetical animated show, the best way to load in action figures, and other design choices that could drastically affect our final vehicle. Then we take the conversation to the Brutus and Fido - laying groundwork for what they do and don’t do that influences our whole design process going forward.

Playing Catch-Up

Episode 18

Friday, March 31, 2017 • Duration 49:27

Doing a large scale project in your free time is hard, and in this episode we feel the burn. Join Doug and Cap for some perspective on where exactly we thought Lightning Dogs was heading at this point in the timeline. It had been a year since we'd taken the series behind closed doors and we were getting anxious. Hear us share our foolhardy plans to relaunch Lightning Dogs as an audio drama and other discussions not so much about building The Lightning Dogs’ world, but Lightning Dogs as a project. We explore new influences, discuss inter-dog relationship dynamics, and lay some significant groundwork for one of our most criminally underdeveloped main characters.

Thing Names

Episode 17

Monday, March 20, 2017 • Duration 01:10:01

When last we talked vehicles, we were simply paving the way for the designs to come. We discussed the influences we wanted to pull from and kicked around a few early mock-ups for what kinds of cobbled together junk cars the peoploids would be cruising around in. Now, Cap, Doug, Tony, and Max are ready to zero in on the cars at the heart of our series: the Lightning Dogs’ sweet rides. And, of course, no vehicle episode would be complete without some fascinating detours into the stranger realms of car culture. We explore crystal-powered engine designs and what that technology might mean for the look and sound of the cars, ask hard-hitting questions like "does Glampire need a signature vehicle?", and build vehicle and accessory concepts backwards from a repository of "thing names" - random punny titles that would have been right at home in 80s and 90s action figure aisles.
