Hey everyone Fokakis here,

I noticed reading one of the Playthrough Podcast topics that people are interested in a Small Scores Podcast. I believe Techie brought it up, and it sounded like Fleach, and Duke were supporting it. I hope I am not stepping on any toes here, I just noticed nobody else is able to do it. However, I am willing to do it.

With that being said, I am thinking of starting a Small Scores Podcast. I will host it, but I need a co-host to help out with Podcast, because people would get bored hearing just my voice the whole podcast. Preferable I would like to have Me and two others host the podcast each month.  So if you are interested in co-hosting this Podcast with me please PM me. Would love to find people who have done podcast before, but no worries if you haven't. We can learn together!!!

Also, I would love to get input/help on editing, hosting, uploading podcasts.

I am formulating a plan on how the show will work

If I am stepping on toes, please let me know, and I won't move forward.

Ah, so the CollectorCast just might get a spinoff, huh? And just when I'd given up hope.

I'd be more than happy to contribute in the best way possible: by picking up and showing off the most awesome scores for you to fall all over yourselves showering them in an unending avalanche of praise and adulation, with a dollop of envy. How's that sound, huh?

Actually, I have an idea I've been sitting on for a few years now, and have discussed with the CollectorCast cohosts on a couple occasions via PM. I'll shoot this idea over to you, and you can tell me what you think...


- 'Late

yes! i approve. i hope the collectorcast guys are cool with the idea too because i think it's something that everyone wants but they already have a fairly full show with only the main topics in their's alone, let alone this behemoth of a segment.

after my time working on the playcast i don't think i would want to co-host again...not that i didn't enjoy doing it, but it is time consuming and i don't feel motivated enough to commit to anything. if you'd like any tips about editing though send me a PM and i can let you know whatever you need to know, though Duke has a lot more experience with it i'm sure and he probably has even more tricks.

uploading is easy enough, after doing it once or twice you'll get the hang of it, the hardest part is deciding where you want the show to be hosted. podomatic, itunes, and youtube work well for the playcast, but there's a ton of other options out there too.

my only suggestion for the show itself is maybe consider doing short episodes more frequently? it might make keeping up with the small scores thread more manageable if you did a 30 - 60 minute episode every 2 weeks, instead of a 1 - 2 hour episode once a month.

You just had to rub it in, didn't you?  With the Collector Cast having a full plate and not being able to do the Small Scores regularly, I think this is a great idea.  Love it!

Happy to share recording, storage, equipment, and other ideas with you if you are able to move ahead with this.  If you are looking for a place to host your feed, I suggest PodBean -- unlimited storage and bandwidth for $8 a month if you pay for the year, and $10 a month if you pay month-to-month. You can use this feed to tap into iTunes and Stitcher and other sites.  It's a good idea for a podcast, but of course, my plate is super full with my duties here at the moment. Plus, I can't really speak too much on modern titles. Good luck!

I havent seen you pick up anything good in a long time. :)

I would listen to the small scores podcast.

I would absolutely listen to a small scores podcast!

I see I'm not the only one who had this idea.  Unlike Fokakis, I was going to do this guerrilla style, producing it in secret and just posting the results for all to see.  However, if Fokakis is looking for cohosts, maybe we can join our efforts.

I don't have any set in stone work done yet, but I have researched ways to do podcasts cheaply and easily, so maybe I can add something other than mellifluous tones to this project.  I think this could be an interesting "podcast for beginners", which was exactly my reason for wanting to take on this challenge.

So, hit me up, Fokakis.

Hey, I just realized something: you gotta find a way to get Duke.Togo on board somehow. His indignant responses to the mispronunciations of game titles is the stuff of legend.

Nanners is no stranger to Duke's wrath:

(the fun starts at 2:51:46)

That's just how we pronounce that s@#t in the South...........

I thought it was the unnecessary apostrophe on the early releases?  ;D

I blame the cartridge too.

This was one of my first podcasts and I wasn't very comfortable. If Duke corrected me today, I would have responded with, "Why don't you Y's on deez nutz?"

Someone has to school these fools.

So, um... does this mean you're in? Pretty please? Come on, you know you wanna do it. Give in to the tasty temptation...


ANYway, Here's an idea that's probably too labor-intensive to ever happen, but I'll put it out there none the less:

For the YouTube upload of the podcast-- should it ever happen-- why not display the pics of the scores on the screen as you're discussing them? You can call it the "small scores slideshow." It'll help make the YouTube version of the 'cast stand apart from its audio-only stitcher/podcastpickle/what-have-you counterparts...

I would listen to a Small Scores podcast.  That just solidifies what a big nerd I am :P

I could probably be talked into listening to this.


;)

I'd consider guesting if they want me, but I want to let these guys do their thing. Besides, I have to find time to work playing more Y's into my schedule...

I'd listen to every second.

Get a different mic, though.  It was very hard to hear you on the Golden Axe podcast.

A good mic is essential. Duke, Floyd, I use the Blue Yeti and it is fantastic:  http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Microphones-Yeti-USB-Microphone/dp/B002VA464S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1439557382&sr=8-1&keywords=blue+yeti

Yeah, there's a cost upfront, but if you are serious about podcasting, you're best to buy something nice instead of something cheap where you have to spend more money in the long run replacing and getting the sound you want. I've never used the Blue Snowball, but it seems to get good reviews and is half the price.

Definitely, My voice was very muffled

a better mic makes editing so much easier too, less areas with problems to fix.

singlebanana, working on getting podcasts hosted somewhere for free. All of them...

I would LOVE to be on the podcast but I don't have the time and after listening to the other podcasts on here, I don't think I could flow as well as they do.  I'd be stumbling for words and screwing up facts and whatnot.  You guys do a great job!

Hey everyone!

Quick update, we had some issues setting this up. Mostly due to my computer crapping out on me. Me and Nupoile are still wanting to do it. I just need to get my computer fixed and the project can move forward. Just wanted to let you all know, this isn't dead yet.

My computer dying is also been the lapse in my presence in the community lately. Its a little difficult using and navigating the site on my windows phone. I miss you all, and sorry about the delay.

don't worry, there's no rush and it's better if you spend the time to do it right than trying to get it out too soon.

Glad to see you gents still working on this. Take your time, and it will come together.

That's great to hear.  I can't wait!
