createBlog Podcast!! Options

[pandora]

Dani and I want to start our own createBlog podcast where we talk about design, music, anime, technology, whatever. We'd like to get other people involved, and see what other topics you guys would like to hear about, etc. If you're interested in getting involved, please sign up.

Hopefully we can maybeee bring in some new members, or at least get our less active members (such as the ones that just browse the resources sections) to post more around the community.

Tips on how you can record stuff if you are planning to record with another member of cb:

goto InstantConference.com and sign up for a free account. Then host a conference call together and dial *9 to start recording!

The host will then be prompted to enter the subscriber pin. Each participant will then be required to acknowledge acceptance to continue participating. To stop the recording, press *9 again. Once the recording is complete, it will remain available until you record over it or up to 120 days. You can record an unlimited number of times.

Your recordings are automatically converted to MP3 format and are playable on any computer or MP3 digital audio player. Within two hours of the conference's end time, you'll receive an e-mail containing instructions and a link to the computer download, along with a telephone number and access code for telephone playback of your recording. At that point, your conference call recording is available for immediate telephone playback for up to 150 callers at the same time. Alternatively, simply download the MP3 file and forward to others or play back at your leisure. Once you have downloaded your recording, it is yours to use, edit, or share without any limitations.

Other tips:

• Know what you're going to talk about. Whether you write down what topics you're going to discuss/points you're going to make or whatever... just have something prepared before you record, and that should reduce the amount of awkward silence.
• Make sure that there is no noise in the background - your laptop's fan, your parents, your dog, w/e. It's not a good look.
• Don't make it too long. Other people will be submitting thing as well and we dont want a 2 hour long podcast. Just go over a few points and then leave the rest for your next segment on our next podcast! Short segments are good too, we can use it for filler content.
• ARTICULATE. SPEAK CLEARLY. Don't mumble into the mic, no one can understand what you're saying.
