Title: The FQA Podcast
Post by: Sigmaleph on August 11, 2013, 06:04:09 pm
Please discuss things related to the FQA Podcast here. Volunteer to appear on the show, or edit, or factcheck, or whatever else, and discuss distribution, who's in charge of what, etc. As with the Youtube project, I have nearly no applicable experience, so I'll let those that do sort things out.

I'm willing to help with some research/fact-checking. And I could appear on the show from time to time.

I don't mind running my beak about things.

As I've said before, I'll volunteer to co-host with whoever else is going to be doing this.

Some important questions-

1. How are we going to make it? I know there are a few podcast sites out there like Blogtalkradio, but I know nothing about any of them. Anyone here with experience that can give us an idea?

2. Where are we going to put the podcast after the live recording? We need somewhere to host the download of the file and probably post it on YouTube as well.

3. Should we do video recording with it as well for the YouTube version?

4. We either need someone to make us some opening and closing music, find some public domain sounds and music, or find some on a stock sound and music that you have to pay for. I'd rather not deal with the potential copyright bullshit.

There are some royalty free music samples on Looperman that can be used. Also some music editing software may have some sort of music beds to use. I know that Mixcraft does.

In a pinch, I could even throw something together in Garage Band (bearing in mind that I have little to no musical talent, and the library of free loops is pretty limited).

Beyond that, you could try to find something on Free Music Archive (http://freemusicarchive.org/).

Resident musician here: give me to the end of this school semester, and I'll see what I can do.

Ok, I've got a couple suggestions for the Podcast as people we could have as guests.

The first is a couple friends of mine who are ultra conservative and somewhat religious. The good news is one of them knows how to take the piss quite well and frequently jokes about his politics as much as we make fun of them. The other one I got in to an argument with the last night over a new law in California letting trans kids use the bathroom of the gender they identify as. My position was summarized as "what the hell does the genitals of the person two stalls over matter when you're taking a piss?", to which he argued that it was immoral in his view and that they where abominations. When I asked clarification of abominations in what way, he said they are genetic abominations and are failures in the principle of survival of the fittest in that they won't reproduce. After the argument I asked if he'd be willing to be on the podcast and he said he'd need to know exactly what the subject of the podcast is in advance before he'd agree.

The next suggestion is, if we can contact her and get her to agree, the porn star Tatum Reed. Why? Because she's a hardcore conservative and is very religious. I think the contradictions of her profession and beliefs would make for an interesting discussion.

That's how the Conlangery podcast does it. All the host and guests are usually in different cities and states, so they do it all over Skype. Works pretty well.

That's how I do my two podcasts. ;)

I'd be happy to contribute in any way I can. Though I can't say that I'd be that interesting of a host.

So have we come up with a schedule for when we're gonna do this?  Cause if not I have a recommendation  of Saturday or Sunday nights since that seems like that would be the time when everyone has time off from whatever they are doing.

I'd like to add http://ccmixter.org/ to the pool of suggested music sites. Some of the music there can be used free for commercial purposes, if given proper attribution. There are also some base rhythms and what-not that can be added to by resident musicians here, and if someone can write some lyrics, I can sing a variety of styles from blues to metal.

Once I have the right equipment (a better mic), Sunday nights will probably work best for me, though that will be a ways off. The financial investment needed to start a home studio is staggering; even the low-end stuff is a couple grand total.

This, I'll be able to do soonest. Hell, I can do it with the school's computer lab. If I can save up enough to purchase the full version of Reason (the sampling software my class uses), I'd be able to work on it from home. That is the goal, obviously, but it's a bit difficult to save up $400 on minimum wage, part time. =/

I don't envy your financial situation. Been there, done that, and hope your education will pay itself off quickly. I don't have the best recording equipment myself, but you might be surprised at the kind of recording you can get by hooking up a Micro BR to the mixer at karaoke. I think I paid about $200 for mine about 4 years ago, but I found one on eBay for $89 just now and it has a guitar jack, in case you want to look into getting one for yourself.
