Okay! So who wants to help us with this? A bunch of people were talking about it in IRC earlier on, and I got kind of full of beans about the whole idea. I done a little intro kind of thing as some kind of example, I guess, and explanation. I didn't really think it through I guess I just wanted to get some kind of practice. Here is the link to that, anyway:
http://www.jamiesime.com/music/Podcast%20test%20intro.mp3
I'm gonna think about the intro structure and I might come up with some better ideas but this is really just to elaborate on the idea and provide something tangible so the idea seems a little more real. I know the audio isn't perfect but heck we'll work it all out!
This is me asking you to contribute, in any kind of way you decide to, and to send me the file of you doing it. It doesn't take long to put something together and nobody is asking you to be hilarious or professional, just to talk about things you are interested in and try to make it kind of interesting to listen to if you can.
Like I would love to hear a thoughtful talk about how much you love your favourite music, or some perspective on something you have that you think would be interesting or useful. Maybe you have a story about something that happened to you once. Tell us about the time you laughed so hard you pooped your pants.
So basically, if you PM your things to me, I will put them together along with the bits I will do, and once we've got a decent length of stuff, I'll make a topic with the complete podcast in it, easily accessible - I guess on my server space since I am not using it for much right now!
Don't be reticent, my friends, please don't be reticent.
Live large.
-
good topic.
yeah, i couldn't agree more and please don't feel under pressure to be funny!
-
Oh, and if you maybe have some idea in your head right now but it is nothing like what I have mentioned and you are wondering if it is a good idea, or if it is suitable then guess what
it's a good idea. do it!!!
-
i would like to hear the intro but your server isn't responding :(
-
that could be to do with the server change. for some people gw is still down, and i don't know how related my server space and gw are because it all belongs to drule. it works for me right now, and i expect it should work for everyone in the next couple of hours if not sooner.
-
here's the link for the intro on mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/?2zgnjhzi2mm
-
hahaha that was great....
although i cant tell what you mumbled after "upgrade your operating system"
-
i suggested getting a glass of milk, relaxing and enjoying yourself. those are just three suggestions.
-
oh god could the podcast just be 10 hours of you speaking
because you have a really great voice! i could listen to you forever
-
i'm.... cumming

Interview rone rivendale

i'd like to do some music if that's the kind of thing you're looking for, probably just a cover of something. might help break up the talking

music (ESPECIALLY original music) is highly encouraged! that's the sort of stuff we're looking for.

i mean by no means is this going to be music based at all, please understand that, but music segments are encouraged, with original/GW music segments being highly encouraged!!! so yes!

I tried to record a segment but apparently my laptop microphone isn't working anymore. I accidentally pulled out a lot of wires the other day. the segment was going to be an intro to this leaked song, so I guess someone else could record what I'd say in the intro and then play the song. but then again it feels kind of stupid if it's not me saying it, so you could just make up your own intro to the song or find your own song to introduce.

what is the song?
-
i'm gonna ask some people individually if they can/want to do anything for this. i'd rather get this particular thing done sooner.
-
bilar
-
my submission is nearly finished! i just need to do some editing to make it sound better, but that should be done very soon!
-
well uh obviously this is a no-pressure stuff but i'm not gonna make one until next week or so. my parents need me at the summer cottage.
-
i'm gonna make something probably music based but i am defo gonna make something.
-
Chef sent me a little something via pm today. This might take a little longer than a week but come on, scrubs, I think we can pull this one out.
also i think i am gonna be drunk tonight so ignore all messages from me after this one. my podcast duties will resume in the morning.
-
my contribution is a 2 hour nosebleed caught on tape. You're welcome.
-
got a few contributions, man! this is actually happening. please everyone pitch on in. this is going to be good.
-
I'll do something soon, hopefully with a mate because I'm p boring at talking by myself.
i'll drop a gw freestyle or something too
-
that's great ptizzle. thanks!
-
Your intro owns btw haha. I think we'll talk about movies so pretty boring!
-
I'm a little curious about making a tut or a walkthrough for when I'm making a song, if there's any interest. Maybe something like that could be in the podcast? Maybe it'd get too long I dunno...
-
okay i wanna buckle and do this thing now. let's do this this week!

please please please.
-
oh yeah, definitely do that idea. if it gets too long when you record it, just cut some bits that aren't as important out of it, but don't feel as if you are extremely constrained for time or anything. it all depends on what you are doing!
-
Oh man, your voice is great. Awesome accent.
I might try to do something if I can come up with anything.
-
try real hard pal. we're gonna make this one worth listening to!!!
-
Sure thing. Any specific kind of format or topic you're looking for?
-
that's the whole concept, there isn't a specific theme. however, it's gonna be kept brief so don't go over i'd say 5 mins unless you had something important to say? otherwise i'll cut it up a little to keep it under 5 with your approval.
otherwise, go friggin hog wild pal.
-
Alright, cool. I just dictated something that I wrote which timed in at three and a half to four minutes, so I'll whip out a microphone when I get home from work.
Unless my BlackBerry can record what I say. Hmm...
-
UPRC did you ever get around to recording that?
I just recorded my intro and I have an idea for 2 more segments that I'll do tonight. Let's put a rush on this one. I've got an idea for the format that I think is really cool and I think will help make this fun to listen to.
-
Hey Jamie, I'm going with mine tomorrow. It'll just be a bit of a ramble and a GW PODCAST VERSE. I was also wondering, would you like me to do a GW Podcast Jingle? It'd take no time at all and you could play it between segments and fuck with it to your liking.
What I really wanted to ask was what length would you like and what kinda format? Any help/guidance you can give me (and probably others) would help immensely.
-
i've already got an idea for the podcast kind of jingle format but yeah if you have a good idea i WILL use it at some point, definitely. since it'd take you no time, please, let me hear it. i like the idea i have but i am totally open to other things, and i think there is room for everything in this even within my idea.
also, if you keep it to a couple of minutes, i'll play the whole thing at once, and if it is longer than say 4 minutes, i MIGHT cut it into segments that will play as the podcast goes on. basically, there is no time restriction now, just that if it is longer than a certain amount it will be cut up into 2 or 3 chunks as it goes along.
so just do anything you want, and if you really don't want me to edit it at all then just ask, but i do think it's a good idea to let me at least try this thing before you decide. i'll send it to everyone who contributed beforehand to make sure they are happy with it before i make it available to everyone.
-
tell you what friends, this is gonna be a great 'cast.
absoooooolutely.
-
i sent in a thing where i ramble about vidgames.
-
you sure did and it's in there now. thanks biggles.
Hey everyone who wants to/can submit, please do it today? I'm in the mood to go podcast crazy tonight, and I have lots of ideas for bits I can do but I don't want this to be a jamiecast like drule said so RECORD YOURSELF TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING RIGHT NOW
DO IT
SEND IT TO ME.
-
I will submit something when I get home today.
edit:
I didn't mean to be a rude dude when I called it a jamiecast. I think you are very funny, I was just surprised at the lack of GW content because I thought people were submitting like crazy.
-
don't worry buddy i took it as it was intended, we do need more GW people on this. i have had a couple more submissions since you last heard it, and i've done some more too, but we need a couple more to take this thing over the edge!!!! then once i've got a good variety, i can fill in with extra content for it.
-
okay i'm gonna go to bed but i will be back in 8-9 hours to see how it's going, then tomorrow (which for most people in the world will still be today), i'll be back to deal with it right away.
