AF Podcast!

[Akihiko Yamamoto Hozagaki]

Well, I've had this idea for quite a while, but I was just too scared to share it XD! So... I finally decided to go through with it after like, six months of thinking XD! Now I need your opinion, because I'm not going to spend time on this if it's not going to be listened to. I made a test run of it to show you what it'd be like:

Test Run

So, I want your opinions! If you think it'd be a good idea to go through with this, any suggestions? Any ideas on what topics to add in it? Do you even know a better website to host the podcasts? I'm terribly sorry if I've put this in the wrong place, or if this is just an incredibly stupid idea >_<!

[Ωmega]

xD! We're cruel.

"We dont want no podcast!"

You know, Ive heard about podcasts, but never actually bothered to find out what the hell it is.

I think its a fun idea, though it may be a bit messy with spammy podcaster >_>;;

And yeah, flu season. Hope you feel better

[overwatch]

I say run with the idea! - sorry I can't suggest any topics or ideas at the moment - but I say run with it.

[Buruku]

Podcasts are fun.

BUT you have to be funny, informed, and have a voice and presence that people will actually want to listen too.

[Gandizzl]

Haha, this was great xD
You sound so enthusiastic (especially the opener xD).

Well, I think it sounds like a fun idea even though I'm still not completely sure what a podcast is.
This is actually the first podcast I ever hear << >> <<
But as you say, I think it could be good to "spice" up AF with something new since there has not really been a new thing around here for a while.

[Eris]

If you ever feel your podcast is too square or has a bunch of unwanted sanity in it, I'm willing to supply you with an endless supply of neo-erisian propaganda.

[Brewmaster]

Thats a great idea!Keep on it!Well for now i really have no good suggestions.Its really awesome!Soon i might get something!Oh i know how you feel I'm sick to so get well soon!

I maybe an idiot for asking this, but what's a, "podcast?" Whatever it is, it sounds like a good idea.

Looking it up on wikipedia was such hard work, it took me a full 3 seconds to type it into the URL bar.

Thanks. But the thing is, my friend told me that Wikipedia could be edited by different members. And not all is relevant.

[Akihiko Yamamoto Hozagaki]

Yes positive feedback : D!

But seriously, I was worried there would "we don't want no podcast D:!" I'm going to start working some more of the details and see if I can get more than one person in on the fun :3. Because I'd really like to take Eris up on that offer.

It's also continuously is also monitored and fact-checked by a multitude of experts in basically every field of science. So the chance that false information remains for any particularly long interval of time is pretty low.

Most of the time, you can tell when an article has been tampered with. It's mostly juvenile pranking, like inserting the word "boob" in the middle of an article. But in general, wikipedia is a good source of non-crucial information. Don't use it for writing reports (you can look at the sources cited by the articles and use that for your report), but for just looking up stuff you want to know more about out of curiosity, it's as good as, or better than asking a smart friend.

Thanks again, though there are some things that Wikipedia may not have info on, I still use it sometimes.

[~*Red*~]

A podcast sounds like a good idea!! I used to use Wiki all the time, but now I just surf Google and find what I need.

I run into something Wikipedia hasn't at least got a stub article on. Non-english Wikipedias, however, are a different deal entirely. They're basically full of crap (especially so the Swedish one).

[Akihiko Yamamoto Hozagaki]

Well, I don't think I can get more than one person in on the fun... so I had another idea that won't be as amazing ;___;.

If there was a way I could get music into the podcast, then there's definitely a way I can get recordings in. So let's say I was interviewing Bob. I'd give Bob a series of questions, and he'd make different recordings of himself answering them. That or something a little more simple, in which I'd just read out an interview and try to act like the person I interviewed XD! Or I could just bag the whole thing :/. I was just thinking of having member of the week as one of the topics.

could you not link up with the other person on something like msn and both use mics and record the results and then upload that to the Pod?

I don't know o.o. Can you record two people on MSN o.o. I know you can talk to people live, but I don't know if you can record it.

[Jose]

Pengin I love you so much I love how funny you are >.<
you could always wait for me I go to California every year in the summer
You just missed me.
Sounds like a lot of fun

pm if you need help or anything
oh wait pm me anyway

[Sanosuke23]

I'm pretty sure you can record, even if it is just having a third person record the conversation.

On the subject of music, I wouldn't mind an AF radio. Heck, I know someone what runs one, maybe I can ask him for details.

[overwatch]

hmm I am fairly certain that burried in the depths of windows there is a record feature. If you can set it to record "what you hear" or a similar setting it should recored any sound that comes out of the speakers.

I know a pretty good radio software, which was what I was planning to do earlier, but for some reason I just couldn't go live.

With the recording thing... I'm stupid when it comes to Windows. If someone knows how to exactly record the sound from the speakers or whatever, please PM me. I'd love to have interviews with the members!

Love you too Jose :3!

[UrusaiSevera]

I love and lol'd so much at the " Dear AnimeForum, immortal is thy name~!".

I think it's a lovely idea, but if you can't get other people on there, it's going to get a bit boring.

[Akihiko Yamamoto Hozagaki]

That's actually my school's song XD!

"Dear OSA! Immortal is thy name, wielding our faith, along an unknown way."

They cheesiest song ever >_<.

Thank much love

Anyway I am 100&#37; sure that Yahoo allows for video group chat that will allow you to interview any member with Yahoo, same thing with Sykpe on Myspace IM just in case they do not want to use YM. I'm not entirely sure about other chat programs >.<. You could always just save it as a wma file
