Starting this thread to serve as an all-in-one help guide as we work through podcast venture.

The formatting of this guide might change regularly, but here's what we've discovered so far.

- if you are interested in participating in any capacity, please let us know

- each participant needs a headset/mic

- leave your podcast browser window open, even after recording stops

We've tested this using a laptop mic and speakers, and the sound quality is not good.

With a headset/mic, most background noise is blocked out and the DCCer's voice is clear.

We are currently testing out Riverside.fm for production.

It records each user's audio independently on their local device.

When the host clicks the "End Record" button, he gets a screen showing the progress of each user's audio upload.

If someone closes their browser out before the upload completes, we might lose that user's audio...resulting in dead air space on the recording.

We're interested in finding out who would like to participate.

Riverside allows us to email invitation links to podcast guests.

If you would like to help out with testing and/or podcast, shoot me an email at xxxxxx and we'll get you signed up.

At this point I would be interested in hearing only one session just to learn what the romance is with a podcast. I will however be available to help to the degree i can.

I listened through all of the intro clips you sent and found a good one to test with.

Check this link, this was booze and me testing a couple days ago.


I don't listen to podcasts, but it seems like it's just a bunch of people with their own radio talk show.

Before I forget, you can leave the studio and your upload will continue. You just can't close the browser tab.

I suppose I will remain ignorant about this for a while. I went to the link and it prompted me to download an app which I did. Then it prompted me to register which I did then two individuals came on a talked about podcasts for a while or ujntil I determined that i was on the wrong path. I did not see or hear anything that was identifiable as something booze might have done. I summarily deleted the app and determined I was going to remain ignorant unless something bloomed large enough in my mental state.

Sorry for the trouble, @L.T. Fan ...that should have taken you straight to our recording.

Please check your private messages here on DCC. I sent you a link that should play the intro and trailing music...if it prompts you to install anything, just close it out and let me know.
