Part 2 -- Other Worlds



Show Theme:  "Canon in D" from Owen Poteat.

Book Theme: "Friendly Day" from Kevin MacLeod.

Part 2 of 2 of the 06/14/09 Live show.

Finally got connected to Shawno ("Hypernonsense," "Shawnogram") on Skype -- which is when all that technology when to hell...  There's a whole lotta cussin' edited out of this version, believe me.  And I got stuck with the BTR recording for this part, which is lower-quality than my Callburner recording had been.  Sorry about that; replaced all the music with originals, though, so that sounds better.

Got very depressed with the tech failures.  But part of the problem was my misunderstanding what BTR does and doesn't do.  I could have fixed the call as easily as I broke it.  It wasn't as broken as I thought it was.

Music: Levar Thomas - "Can't Hide From Love"

Talked to Shawno about doing live shows on UStream, commiserating about my troubles that day.  Talked about Livestream.com, which is newer with more features.  Dr. Normal and Cami Kaos use that for "StrangeLove Live."

I obsess some more about Callburner failure.  Talked about the technical aspects of recording from Skype -- which is pretty much always hard for everybody.

Music: Levar Thomas - "Missing You"

Discussed some of the complexities of domain names, and the differences in the way "Talkshoe" works, or worked.

Theme: "Hot Swing" from Kevin MacLeod.

I am a very lucky guy.

I get to interview Natalie Brown, on my live show on BlogTalk Radio.  The interview is supposed to be this Sunday at Noon Central.  And I admit, I'm really nervous about it.  This is a Big Deal.

According to Wikipedia, "Natalie Brown is a Canadian-born, contemporary R&B, pop and Blue-eyed soul singer-songwriter,"  active in the industry since about 2000.  She's got her second album, "Random Thoughts," out now.  I'm listening to her music while I type this, and she's amazing. 

Watched an interview with Tina Louise, and she said "Natalie Brown is awesome!"  Tina Louise!  I mean, c'mon!

Now I gotta think up questions and whatnot, like interviewers do.

Remarkable, the things I do these days...   ;-)

My second episode of the new "The IDSL" show, from June 16, 2009.  I featured:

"Alibi" from Troop of Echoes

"Alibis" from Engine 11

"aliensporebomb" from aliensporebomb

"All Along" from The Oneironauts

"All I Do" from Big B.I.Z.

I've asked all the artists for their permission, and hopefully no one gets mad at me!

Gee, this show is kinda fun!

Theme: "140 Times" from RockOn.

I just started a daily music show on BlogTalk Radio called "The IDSL." 

For those of you who have listened to the Grizzly's Growls podcasts for a while, you'll be familiar with my "It Doesn't Suck List," which I use to pick music to play at the end of the show.  What with all the fiddling I've been doing with live shows on BTR, I have not been keeping up on the IDSL, and I wanted to catch up.  And then I thought, "Well, I could certainly set up a daily show on BTR to play those... hey, wait a minute!"

So I'm doing that daily show, with five selections for each show, and me trying to sound like a DJ -- doing rather well at that, actually.

Since I'm already producing the show and playing the music, and since Callburner has been behaving a bit better when I jump through enough hoops, I decided to take the Callburner audio, and modify that appropriately, replacing the BTR copies of the songs with fresh audio from the original MP3s.  So I get the feel of the 30-minute live show, and any call-ins (if I get any), and the audio quality is high enough to post as a new show in the Feeds.  Even created an IDSL feed on Feedburner.  But...

I'm currently out of space at Libsyn!  With all the new shows, I just don't have room for another show yet.  After the 18th, my oldest non-archived file gets archived, and I'll start having space again.  But I'm getting really impatient... maybe I can squeeze just one more in?

If y'all wanted to help out there, donations would go to (1) paying the existing Libsyn bill, (2) possibly expanding my space on Libsyn, and (3) beer, cigarettes and wild women!  Probably in that order.

Probably.  I am supposed to be a Minor, Local Celebrity, after all, and one must keep up appearances.

Thanks!

 Part one, the first hour of last Sunday's live show.  I had some technical difficulties after the first hour, but this part came out really clear, with Callburner doing the recording, and a whole bunch of editing.

Talked for a while about the swell deal I got at a nearby Rummage Sale: a Kodak Easy Share CX6200 and the original Kodak Easy Share printer dock, both in a box for $10.  Cool, huh?

Music: Levar Thomas - "Ain't All Bad" and "Ain't All Bad Radio Mix."  Really like this tune, and it's got a really positive message.  I liked the way the two versions worked together, so I ended up editing them into one, long piece.  Hope he doesn't mind.  Thanks, Levar!

Tried to talk to Jen from "Inside My Head" on the show, but couldn't get the audio on her end to work correctly. 

This whole process, not Jen's fault, was what produced the escalating chaos later in the show.  Sometimes I think doing a call-in show is a mistake, once I got good on the regular podcast.  But if you don't challenge yourself, you never learn anything.

 Announced the last episode of "Flatland" is up on Podiobooks.com -- and it's also out there at the end of the Hiber-Nation feed, too, awaiting you.

Finally got connected with Jen (aka "Queen of Haiku" on Twitter).  She had some nice things to say about Levar's music (and I kept obsessing about the technical stuff).  Got to play with my new Rejoiner for the show, too.  (Still having problems understanding her on the Click to Talk connection; had a horrible AC hum, which I edited out For Your Listening Pleasure.)

Talked a bit about Jen & Shawno having their experimented with live shows for their "Hypernonsense" podcast, the one they do together.

Discussed the upcoming interview with Natalie Brown this coming Sunday.

Music:  Natalie Brown - "Hold Your Head Up High"

Jen called back in on Skype, and it worked properly.  FINALLY!  But we had more technical difficulties with picky BTR stuff.  But at least I could finally hear her okay...  More discussion of live shows, UStream, All Things Azeroth.

I've come to the conclusion I start having problems when I start getting call-ins.  Which is a bad sign for doing a call-in show, now ain't it?

Discussed Jen's experiences (she's a teacher) with Swine Flu, or not Swine Flu.  I get all Scientific-sounding.  Talked about "ReGenesis," this show I watch(ed) on Hulu.  Wonder if it's still being produced?  And did they jump the shark?  And talked about "Castle," with Nathan Fillion starring.  Looking forward to that being on Hulu, too!

AND THEN I foolishly took a moment to play some music & get more coffee, and broke stuff again...

Music:  Natalie Brown - "You're Mysterious"

... and off to part 2 of 2, dropping tomorrow...

Live on BTR 5 of 5 - After Hours

General chat.  Nothing that I recall I need to provide links for.

Show Theme:  "Canon in D" from Owen Poteat.

Book Theme: "Friendly Day" from Kevin MacLeod.

With sound effects from The Free Sound Project and from The Absolute Sound Effects Archive.

Part 4 of my live show on BTR this last Sunday

Discussed something called OTS with Violet Light, and some other technical BTR stuff

Chatted with Robert aka Eareverence, who's been making the rounds of BTR shows

I leapt to the defense of Disco, and reminisced about learning to talk by listening to an AM radio in my sleep

I bragged at length about my Samson Zoom H2 Handy Recorder

We discussed Desert Rose's show being streamed on Fox, and her participating in a record attempt at having the most interviews in one day, to promote a book

Discussed Eareverence's upcoming show on BTR

Meredith from Braindouche! finally got to call in, and we talked briefly, but then we ran out of Streaming time.  We talked a bit more in the After Hours segment you'll hear on Friday.

I've come to the conclusion I don't do well with too many people on the show at once.  I think a new rule will be only one caller on live at a time, unless there's a compelling reason to talk to a particular group all together.  The big PR show was an example of a "compelling reason."  They were all invited guests, and all PR podcasters, talking about PR and podcasting.

Naturally, if I have an Invited Guest, that means one Caller at a time with a question for the Guest.  Or maybe none, if that's what's comfortable for me.

Make sense?

For you longtime listeners to the regular show, I hope at least the new format hasn't been too disruptive for you.  I hope I'm learning and getting better at doing a live show.  And you're welcome to call in on Sunday and become part of the show yourself.

Theme: "Hot Swing" from Kevin MacLeod.

Here's a list of sites using my Stories from the Hiber-Nation feed in violation of at least two of the three provisions of my Creative Commons license.  Take my feed off your pages, folks.

The third part of my Live show on BTR.  Yes, I know, but I didn't know in advance I'd be cutting it up, so it does start and end rather abruptly...

Promo for "Flatland, a Romance of Many Dimensions" on Podiobooks.com

Violet Light and I discuss video games

Natalie Brown: "Around the World"

Promo from "Wild Animals I Have Known," also on Podiobooks.com

Discussion with "Violet Light" about Callburner and Pretty May (the software she uses) not always working.

Also discussed Violet's BTR show, "Secret Garden."

From Natalie Brown: "You're Mysterious"

And I played the Intro and Outro I created for Medros' new show connected with "All Things Azeroth," something called "Group Quest."

Theme: "Hot Swing" from Kevin MacLeod.

Part 1 of 5 episodes I snipped from my 2 1/2 hour live show on BlogTalkRadio.

Part 3

Mur Lafferty's coming out with the fifth and last book in her "Heaven" series, entitled "War."  (I said sixth.  Oops.)  Played the Promo.

Part 4

I actually got permission to use a performance of Mouret's "Rondo" from "Gossamer Winds," a wind quintet out of Denver Colorado.  Thought I might use that as new theme music for "Hiber-Nation."  And I might not; I do like Owen Poteat's performance of Pachelbel's "Canon in D."  Tell me what you think!

From Devo Spice of The FUMP:  "Getting Old Sucks!"

Part 5

More talk about alla my books on Podiobooks.com.  "Flatland" was until recently one of the Podiobooks Top 10, measured by the number of new subscriptions in the previous 30 days.  Isn't today, though.  Oh, well.

And Finally...

Ongoing and Upcoming: Flatland on Hiber-Nation and Podiobooks.  Randall's Flash Fiction piece on Hiber-Nation.  A brief appearance on PodioRacket.  A couple of lines on Kimi Alexandre's "Guardians."  An upcoming role as the villain in an episode of Darker Projects "Tales from the Museum" series.  And probably a bunch of stuff I've forgotten!
