Braindance Podcast Series!

Each week, a forum member creates a podcast with the music they love, to educate, entertain, and inform!

This is the podcast discussion thread. Podcasts are located in the locked Podcasts thread.

So, when will the Braindance! podcast begin? We can each take turns as guest curators. I have not idea how this works, but I trust it will sort itself out.

yes please! we could do one a week. every friday. let's get a quickshots-style roster going

4. (12 Feb) pidgin
5. (19 Feb)

i want 12th feb if enough people sign up to get that far :)

Oooh... If someone tells me how to do one, I'm in! :-)

i'm guessing it's just a mix with you talking in between tracks like "I first heard this track when I was in the high school soccer team..."

if you want to do one, just copy and paste the list and add your name next to the date!

How does it work? Do we upload it to a certain place? How long should it be? Do we need guidelines? How about it can be anything you want but should be an hour?

i guess you send it to me or missaw (using yousendit or some other file upload service), and we stick it on the special Braindance Podcast section on this site, which doesn't exist yet. (missaw?)

Word. Thanks you guys. Have to say, this is actually just a really interesting and functional version of the old board. Respect.

i guess the important thing is that it's a podcast and not just a mix (i.e. it has some kind of thematic sequence and it has talking on it).. an hour sounds good to me..

btw if nobody takes the first two slots we could do the trick they do in events management, where they put a row of seats at the front of an audience and then remove them just before the performance starts (because nobody sits in the front row! :)

Ahem... They also take the seats or fill it with staff sometimes.

Lead by example Pidg... Take the first dates.

Show us how's it's done!

Go on...

I don't want to be seen to be running the show or anything... this is for the people, by the people!... uhhh...

Oh yeah, and I can't because I moved today, so I'm writing this on my phone.. it'll be 3 weeks before i actually get off my arse and set up my computer and everything. At least 3 weeks before I have full proper internet, anyway, thanks to BT taking 2 weeks to reconnect an unused line :|

I'm frightened.

Yeah. I put my name down when I was pissed last night. Now I've got to get something together. Oh dear.

Still... It'll be nice to put my AKG mic to use finally.

Did we confirm any kind of theme or whatever for our podcasts, or are we just going for an hour of "favourites"/"most influential" with our introductions/stories, type thing?

I think it should be an hour of whatever music you want to put together. That way we can hear the other stuff people are into as well. One mini-rule might be it cannot be an hour of your own productions, cus that is yawnsville.

I'm up for doing one but not sure when i'll get round to it. But will fefo do one :-)

Any chance we can set up a proper podcast thing – where you click a link to subscribe to it and it pops up in iTunes (other music players are available)?

Go on then, I'll add myself to the pile.

My Macbook is booting to a black screen - I'm taking it to the shop tomorrow - so it should be okay. But you know, just in case it's broken, I thought I'd let you all know now.

Dunno, anyone know how to set this up? Is it just an RSS feed?

yeah im down with that, as long as it isnt too much work for us to set up! i would also like to get a better idea of how to get all this stuff on itunes for free too.

suckers

would iTunes be happy with a podcast containing tons of unlicensed music? (I wasn't planning on licensing mine anyway!)

or do you mean iTunes the app rather than the website? I have a feeling Japes meant the app.

could be an issue Pidg. my friends that do "real" podcasts have label release contracts, forms etc. its a ballache.

i can however authorise you to use material from The Centrifuge for what its worth ;-)
