This Week in FKL - A Podcast

The Proposal
[spoiler-box]
Dearest FKL,

In my many years of being a spammer in these fine halls of FKL, I have seen quite a few different ways to approach the FKL way of life. But I think there is one frontier that we have yet to conquer, the Podcast. Here is what I am suggesting.

I want to gather a few FKLers together in a Skype chatroom, and record a 15 minute conversation about FKL lore, or new topics or even us trying to do things like the poetry thread, in audio form. I think this could be kind of entertaining and would certainly be a conversation piece if it ever came up on a random playlist on iTunes.

One thing that will be tricky is giving everyone a chance to be on the show, which shall be hosted by myself and a panel of say, 3 more FKLites each episode. These 3 others will be exchanged each episode to keep things fresh. It will be a mixture of "Whos Line is it Anyway?" and the podcast "You Look Nice Today". But I think if we work at it, we can get some times set up to record an episode a week.

What do you think, FKL? Are you up for this?
[/spoiler-box]

About the Show

The show's format is probably going to change based on what gets recorded and who is there. Some may be more chopped up and sketch like, while others may be FKL history and culture lessons and may be set up to play without music breaks.

How do I get in?

Simple! The Podcast will release an episode a week. The podcast will have 2 to 3 guests with myself as host. The time for recording is not on a solid schedule, to accomodate for those who live on the further edges of the landfill than others. The recording time will be set by the group of guests and myself. The guests will come on a volunteer basis, and those who were not on the episode before the episode being volunteered for will be given first dibs on slots. Simply post in the topic mentioning that you are interested in joining for the next episode, and the details will be worked out from there!

You will also need to use the program Skype (http://skype.com) and a microphone. The program Skype is free for Skype-to-Skype conversations, so the only thing you may need to aquire is a microphone. Once you have a skype account and the program installed, you will be ready to go.

Add CheesecakeRecipe to your friendslist on skype, that's me. I may create a list of other FKLites' skype names if they OK it with me.

Get your FKLites here!

Another reason to get a microphone

Nai_Calus

I keep saying I have no microphone, but this is a lie.

However: For some reason recording on this computer does not work for fuck and there is always massive static. Also, I don't want people hearing my voice.

Nitro Vordex

Shlig's the only one who's heard my voice, IIRC.

It sounds like an interesting idea. I would listen. I'm not quite sure if I could manage talking, though. (It's because I've never talked over the Internet before and I'm a really shy person.)

Lack of imagination is one of the Timeless Traditions of FKL.

Anyone know if there's a big enough difference between cheap-o headset/mics and more expensive ones (>$25 for our purposes) to warrant buying the latter if I just want to talk over Skype without running up a phone bill?

Tact
Jun 25, 2008, 11:46 AM
Oh, yeah, it's also Skype...that means I definitely won't be talking. Sorry. :wacko:

Anyone know if there's a big enough difference between cheap-o headset/mics and more expensive ones (>$25 for our purposes) to warrant buying the latter if I just want to talk over Skype without running up a phone bill?

Let's see... I've used two different headsets. One from Logitech, one from who-cares-what. The Logitech one was more expensive. The first one I used, the W-C-W one, had a MUCH more sensitive microphone. As in, they could hear everything I did, and everything that was going on in the house. If I positioned it in the wrong way I would blow into it accidentally which caused the person on the other end some ear pains. Also, it was a lot more fragile. I broke like, two of them. >>; If you bend the mic JUST the wrong way, or accidentally run over the cord, bam. You're screwed.

The Logitech one was the one I preferred. They don't break as easily and allow you more privacy because the mic is directional. However, keeping the headset on for long periods of time causes ear pains, even after you get used to it (whereas the other one didn't). The problem with them is, in both my and another's experience, the headphones would randomly fail and start cutting in and out for no apparent reason. I fixed it by pulling the plug-thing out of the hole-thing in the computer a little bit, but even after a while of that the headphones just died. Not sure why they do that.

So, there you go. That's about all I know. If that's not what you were looking for, sorry. :wacko:
Since both headsets seem to have problems, I wish you good luck in finding one that actually works.

I suppose the only reason I think it's funny is because I find accents awesome.

I'd have to do some actual shopping as well. All my previous experience with voice chat was through the built-in microphone on my now dead laptop.

Also, I forget what functions skype has... I was more familiar with ventrilo or teamspeak... I assume skype has the option for a push-to-talk button as well? That usually helps out with oversensitivity.

I know people who use el cheapo microphones and still have a better call quality on skype than using the phone. The main problem is getting a headset that won't just fall apart on you, as they all do. It just depends on if it is a matter of days, weeks or months before it happens. Such is the nature of the beast that is headsets.

Unfortunately, the makers of skype have refused a push to talk functionality like in ventrilo and teamspeak. You can however, set up a hotkey to push once to mute yourself (or maybe you have to hold it down, I don't know how it works) and you push it again (or lift your finger off of it) to un-mute. I used to have microphones that had a mute switch on the hardware itself, so I tended to use those when on Skype.

I'm glad to see a lot of you want to participate, and I hope some of you can get your microphone situation solved soon. Also, Nai, there are voice maskers you can impliment into skype if you are dead set on disguising your voice. And we could certainly use your cultural influence, W0L.

Well I suppose I would need to get a list of 3 other FKLers to get together with so I can test my recording setup and we can get the first episode out and into the wild.

It's free and only uses your internet connection to make calls. The only thing you have to pay for is Skype credits to make calls to land lines and get calls from landlines, but Skype-To-Skype is totally free. So long as you have a decent connection and a Microphone you'll be good to go.

Test show is completed. I don't like the recording program Pamela, because it doesn't allow me to adjust the other callers' volume. I had to boost Sgt's volume each time he spoke in post production, and I didn't feel like doing that for our whole 15 minute long skype conversation so I cut it down. And as it is you can still barely hear him.

I'm also using a temporary intro/outro sequence until I find something more permanent. Album art should also be embedded into the file.

I'll probably be up for another test tonight after I look into a few more programs.

I listened to some of that, and assuming the really REALLY really quiet shove-the-headphones-in-your-ear-passages guy was Shligger. Not being able to hear what he was saying bothered me though, so I had to stop midway. D:

Yes, that was Shlig being very, very quiet. He must be hunting rabbits.

No, it's rabbit season. Also...hmm. I know it's only a temporary intro, but might I suggest having something slightly shorter when you make a permanent one? The first third of it was introduction. :wacko:

Well the show is supposed to be around 10-12 minutes long so the huge intro wasn't so bad then, but I cut the recording way down because I wanted to check to see how annoying it would be having to boost whatever shligger said. A much shorter intro is already in the works, one about 10 seconds long.

However, I think I made the recording a lot better. Let me know what you think.

It does sound a bit better.

And, I have Skype now. My available time, however, is restricted to pretty late at night.

Late in what time zone? Because it's 11 here.

Evidently, we are in the same time zone. I was busy for most of today and I'm sorry to say that I can't do anything tonight. Perhaps tomorrow, if you really do want me as a guest speaker on the show.

YOU MOTHERFUCKERS ARE QUIET BECAUSEY OU AIN'T EVEN TALKING.

Yeah, my bluetooth is a terrible microphone. I plan on getting a new one but I've made a better mic setup to hold it closer to my face. I have no tape around so I have this ghetto setup (AKA Ghetup). Admire it.

If holding it uncomfortably close to your face doesn't help, shove it down your throat.

No seriously, my mic was being quiet one time, and so I stuck it down my throat and said "CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW" (translated from CAA HAA HUU GUU GAH?) and they could.




PS: That's cool. :wacko:

Episode Negative 3, this time following a more "random sketch" format. A few things I noticed with the recording process is that it seemed to make Sgt. a little bit quieter as we got further towards the 15 minute recording mark and while my mic was not as sensative at first it got a lot louder.

Still, we're getting there.

However, I'm not exactly sure how you're going to structure it, Spike. Did you go over it in previous pages?

However, I'm not exactly sure how you're going to structure it, Spike. Did you go over it in previous pages?

I've been working on how I want to structure it. Originally it was going to be 45 minutes of nothing but talking like the show I stole the name from, "This Week in Tech", but that seemed more and more unlikely as I went on. Then I thought we could turn it into a sketch show like "Whos line is it Anyway" but that would mean I would have to come up with games and stuff for us to do. Then I decided to record a longer conversation, cut it up and separate the good parts a la the podcast "You Look Nice Today". But with each call I do it always ends up being a unique situation so I may edit it depending on the content we get in those 15 minutes.

I read your first post a little bit more. We could go over some of the things that are going on in the...well, technically RP aspect of FKL. Lord knows some of these newbies need to learn their roots.

I used to have some good conversations with navi, geewj, Eclair, and some other #psow folk back in the day, and it's pretty fun. For anyone nervous about this kind of thing, you'll get used to it, just remember, no one's going to judge your voice or whatever too much, we're all dorks here. :wacko:
Only thing is my schedule will pretty much block me out of anything going on from Thursday through Sunday, but I can try out whenever I happen to be around.

You can try this one thing but its really bad. Take some headphones and plug them into the microphone plug of your PC. One of those headphones you'll be able to speak through.

A worthy note to any podcast's wikipedia page! But alas, no deaths caused by laughter on the podcast yet. Maybe i'll invite those weasel henchmen from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" on the show to get the job done.

EDIT: Yeah Tact, they were quieter but I did a lot of volume adjusting to get the waveforms to get close to each other. The raw files from the conversation have Shlig and Van at such a quiet level that I almost didn't see their parts when I was going over the waveform in the audio program.

I find it funny how the Podcast uses music box-like music to make transitions between snippets of conversation.

You can thank The Conet Project (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Conet_Project) for the snippets for the between music. I originally intended those to only be temporary and I may end up replacing them with other clips in the future. We'll see where we go from here.



edit: finished listening to it. I must say, I was impressed.
Then I thought of something; you all live in a different time zone to me, so the next one of these will probably be at about... 4:00am for me. :disapprove:

I am aware of the time zone discrepancies between potential guests, therefore...


So when is the next live show?

...to compensate for this I don't think I am going to have a solid schedule for this. I would like to keep the podcast to one a week unless we have a short one. The recording for the first full episode gave me almost 2+ hours of footage to sort through. There was a lot of silence and there was at least a half an hour of stuff listeners wouldn't be able to understand because we were watching videos that are certainly not safe for PSOW. There was also a lot of footage I couldn't use because it got too risque for PSOW.

I'm happy with what I got though.

I think in order to prepare for a show we should have guest speakers sign up ahead of time, and the 2-3 guest speakers will agree on a time to get on with me so we can begin the recording process. Those who weren't on the previous show before the one being volunteered for will have first dibs on a spot.

I'm not too opposed of doing a second one during this weekend, since the podcast is still stretching its legs and i'm getting the process down.

Tessu

Last night's show took us from about midnight to 3 AM to record, but i'm hoping to lean down the recording time.

EDIT: Content wise, swearing is fine here and there but nothing overboard. I do cut out content that is usually frowned upon in FKL/PSOW that would normally end with warnings or bannings, such as the S******* D*** N******* discussion we had.

Nitro Vordex

Oh wow, then never mind. :)

I was thinking we could do some kind of late night show.

Or, hell, I'd do it on my own. Ranting, chatting, discussing, pretty much what you do for this, just a late night show format.

It seems like I'm stealing your idea doesn't it? ^^; Sorry, I'm just excited about this.

@Van: I hated it. I hated it with all my heart, soul, mind, and eyes.

@Nitro: I have no idea how many people it can support. I've been in a Skype chat with 6-8 people before from what I remember. Could've been less. The lag isn't too bad. I got it here and there but it wasn't bad enough to bother me.

SpikeOtacon
Jun 27, 2008, 08:18 PM
how many people can Skype support in a conversation?

And how much lag would that be? o.o;

According to some of the help on Skype's website, 9 is the current limit but that is a lot of mouths to account for at once.

Lag is on a person to person basis. If one person is a lot further away than the others there will be a slight difference in when you say something and when they hear it compared to everyone else. The strength of their connection is also a major factor. It usually won't affect everyone directly, just that person.

I think that doing more than one show would make things kind of busy for participants. I may let someone else take the reigns of the show every once in a blue moon while I stand in and just record/edit the episode. We'll see how things are shaping up. I am just as excited as you are, I had no idea this would go over so well and I can't wait to get everyone their chance to be in on it.

EDIT: Ast, I think we could manage with some non-recorded calls as well.

Nitro Vordex
Jun 27, 2008, 08:25 PM
Do they have groups on Skype? If so, you should probably make an FKL Skype group, or something to that effect. That way, we could just connect to it if anyone happens to be on at any given time. Also good for chatting "off the record", as Ast is suggesting.

Hard to pay for services when that person isn't logged in to perform those services...seriously my air conditioner needs servicing and the AC guy won't log in, the bastard. :wacko:

That's what handymen are for. Sure, you could spring for one of those overpriced specialists (read: one-trick ponies), but a good handyman knows his way around a variety of appliances and situations--and thanks to that, his toolbox is well-stocked with all manner of interesting and useful items. You might say he's a jack of all trades, but I prefer to see him as the master roleplayer. Need a plumber? Handyman. Furnace blown? Handyman. Dead AC have you slick with sweat? Handyman. French maid? Handyman. Not to mention the sort of fulfilling relationship you can develop as a repeat customer. Totally awesome dudes.

Well, I still sound terribly nasally and quiet but I'll man through it. I've got to avoid my guitar :disapprove:

Also, I suggest we get a real TOPIC going before chatting so there isn't an annoying SILENT TIME.

I gots me a new headset, so I should be able to do the thing we do.

What is it that we do? 42 electric boogaloo.

Oh, I know what we can talk about! We should have a conversation about how Nitro keeps dying. :wacko:

I'm sure a topic will come up depending on how many people you throw in there/who's there.

Nitro Vordex

Spike, you should do things like in this show:

I know, that's just what comes to mind everytime I see your name.

BECAUSE YOU PWN SO HAARRRRD, AMIRITE?

Um, ever had someone call you Shittypun? (Seriously I'm just curious.)

I'm always willing. Also, Sord should be back then. Reserve him a spot. Because we ALL want him on the show.

Nitro Vordex
Jun 28, 2008, 11:27 PM
We can't do that; he'd randomly change his voice to one of ours. :wacko:

I'll do it, I guess. I'll need to get Skype I suppose and see if I can get my sound card to behave. <_>

Sgt_Shligger

On Ast's idea, we should schedule general CHAT/GET-TO-KNOW sessions so talking isn't terribly awkward at the beginning of each podcast.

SpikeOtacon
Jun 29, 2008, 12:01 AM
Alright, 3 speaker slots filled. Nitro, Nai and Kodia.

@Shligger: We can always do those.

this podcast proved my theory that all you yanks do in fact sound the same.

Because somebody during our big conversation someone pulled out a "hey cousin do you want to go bowling with me"(GTA4 Reference). we couldn't stop saying it. I was only there for 6 hours.
i felt so dirty after that conversation I went and had a long shower and changed my clothes. I should avoid sitting at my computer for that long cousin.
