Hey Subby, btw, I've been having problems downloading ep 14, it's gotten 38.7megs in, then gives a 8006 error in iTunes. I can't refresh the feed either

bentpodcast.blogspot.com or if you'd rather just have the RSS Bent

Bent is hosted by two "sexually unconventional" teens. We discuss gay news, pop culture, and politics from the point of view of young but intelligent individuals.

(Like most beginning podcasts we have yet to truly commit. We have two shows and can't seem to find the time to record another, but the desire is still there. So, for the time being, we aren't calling it quits.)

Subscribed and listening to this right now--pretty good. Hope you get to record more very soon.

Spoiler: It's only twice, but it cracked me up both times.

heheh! "Stupid bitch! What do you think you're doing!?!"

Good stuff, Brian W (and some awesome toonage ).

Thanks Badger - I wish I was recording today, I had car honking and, "you fuckin idiot!". It's like the last week has made everyone a shit driver and it's my time to document it all.

I should have another show up next week

Lol I just did the same as brian last week(ish). I posted a separate thread, but I'll throw it in here for the "directory". Hoping to have another done by next weekend, I don't think I'm stickin to just London bands tho, I don't have enough music (tho lots of good bands!)

Haha, nice, this fella recorded a show while working in the booth of a parking lot. I like that, it reminds me of when I used to do shows from the projection booth at a movie theatre. Nothing like multi-tasking at work.

I'd recommend dropping the volume of the songs a bit so they match more closely with the talking parts. When a songs kicks in at full volume it can shock the ears a bit.

I mostly agree with you about the Gandharvas first album, First Day of Spring was definitely the standout. Their third album was a lot more streamlined and rock oriented than the others, and I did a whole tribute podcast about it. If you ever need something to listen to at work and wanna give the local boys another chance, here it is:

Awesome, I'll give it a listen. I've meant to subscribe to Ham Radio, but the one time I was gonna the 4-hour podcast just went up and just made me go "oh shit!" but I like the videocast you did.

I'll definately drop the volume some more (it's actually 50% of the voice tracks in Audacity) and I'm thinking some crossfade might be a good idea, too.

Do you find it's easier to theme a podcast or just kinda throw whatever?

[McNally]

Usually I just do whatever, but genre themes are pretty easy. All soft songs, all loud songs, whatever. But doing a whole show about one band is really tough, which is why I only really did it that once. Whatever personal stories or relationship you have with the music gets eaten up after the first couple songs, whereas if there's a mix of bands it's much easier for one of them to spark a new thought or story.

I'd recommend dropping the volume of the songs a bit so they match more closely with the talking parts. When a songs kicks in at full volume it can shock the ears a bit.

You can fix this in Audacity by compressing the show, which will even out the levels. You find the Compression tool under Effects.

GP.
