Anyone else have input to the Barracks podcast? I'd really like input on this one.
i too would like to see you go through with plan. it sounds like the perfect opportunity for me to try out a podcast. seems like it could be fun and if theres any help im capable of giving, let me know.
im curious as to what it would be like. could you give us some notes or thoughts on how it would be run and what we could do with it? its a great idea.
I'd be glad to. I'm glad to see others that are interested.
Basically, the podcast would be 30-40 minutes long with two segments. The first segment would be 10-15 minutes and would be in regards to Newgrounds/Barracks News and discussion. The second would be Barracks Editorials and Advice, which would be a topic that could be discussed/argued upon. I would have whoever would be on the show that podcast connect to an audio chat through iChat (compatible with the latest version of AIM) and record it into GarageBand.
I would then add an intro and an outro, as well as a short intermission in the middle for a song from the Audio Portal. I would also get other songs to use as background music from the Portal as well.
Here's a quick rundown that I envision:
Intro (just me) 2-3 mins. - Consists of the opening jingle and a quick intro to the day's show
Segment 1 (news) 10-15 mins. - Group of people that day
Intermission (just me) 2-3 mins. - An Audio Portal song as well as info on where to get a songlist for the podcast
Segment 2 (editorial/advice) 10-15 mins. - The group again
Outro (just me) 2-3 mins. - Exit song and a "place to get get more info" thing
It should be blissfully easy to do, thanks to the MacBook.
To do this, I basically need a simple website to host the files, which I can put on a Linux server I'm in the middle of upgrading. Also, I would need people to come on audio chat to do the show.
If you're interested in taking part in the show, you need the following:
- an AIM or .Mac username
- iChat or the latest version of AIM
- a microphone
- headphones (to elimate echos in the chat)
I hope to get my officers on the show, especially Slash (because he has a GREAT mic voice).x The only thing I need to do at this point is get my Linux server ready to host the files and wait for my gig of RAM to arrive. GarageBand is huge, and 512MB just won't cut it for hosting a podcast at this point. I should get everything up and running by Tuesday.
Sound good?
