I've been listening to way too many fan podcasts, where they go through a tv show episode by episode and analyze and enjoy and nerd out and I want to do that but not a podcast because I don't have podcasting equipment I just want to ramble about nerd stuff and I will I think I just have to pick a show but I want to do ALL THE THINGS

ReplyDeleteI WANT TO DO THIS TOO.
ReplyDeletePodcasting equipment...may not be as complex as you think. I've recorded podcasts in two ways, neither got off the ground really but the sound quality was fine. I have a small, cheap starter mic that I used when my co-hosts were meeting in my house to record. I do also have a pop filter, but it wasn't really staying in place so I didn't use it. Still fine. Then I decided to try one with my sister who lives several states away. I used the same mic with my computer speaker facing it about 4 inches away, she just used the built-in one on her laptop, and we had a Skype conversation. Again, sound quality is fine (once I figured out I have to mute my mic when she's talking). Audacity for editing both.
So. Do you have a microphone for your computer? Not a fancy $200+ one like you see recommended for people who are doing Serious Business podcasting and expect to make that money back, but just literally any computer built for talking over the internet? Basically, if your friends or whoever can hear you fine, your audience will too. And possibly clearer, because you can use Audacity to clean it up a bit before posting.
*any microphone built for talking over the internet. You could probably figure that out but I felt silly so posting this correction anyway. :D
DeleteI WANT TO DO RANDOM NERD PODCASTING!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a microphone, but I would almost bet money that my dad does. I'll check with him. If not, I can pick a reasonable one up.
UGH.
I want to nerd about ALL THE THINGS.
I also half want to name it 'The Sass and the Sassenach' which is an Outlander joke that makes no sense since it wouldn't be about Outlander, but I am ashamed that no one has named anything that yet.
Do it! Nerd about all the things! I want to listen to you nerd about all the things! :D
DeleteI'm not sure it matters if the name is super on the nose. Outlander is fandom-y, it's a cool sounding name, I doubt anyone is going to be like "wahhhh, why are you talking about things that aren't Outlander?" but then again maybe they will. I'm always sort of on the outskirts of fandoms and stay away from the most intense bits.
Also if you ever talk about girl-centric comics and want a guest co-host, I am so in.
