Killfast37 posted:My friends and I started doing a comedy podcast called Serious Business with Successful People for fun about a month ago. We finally got some decent equipment. We each take turns discussing things we found on the internet, news stories, or personal experiences. Each episode is broken down into acts. It is pretty much just an hour to two hours of bullshitting about goony poo poo. We usually poo poo on a bad movie too. We are pretty new and probably not all that funny, any criticism/advice would be helpful too. Here, also I'm pretty terrible when it comes to web design. I'll critique yours if you critique mine: https://www.digitalporridge.net Mine is a friend and me talking about ourselves for about half an hour, I'm American & he's British. We've only done 7 episodes so far and I think we're going to start exploring the 'Atlantic divide' (more than we have so far) starting with this week's show. My first reaction is that 1-2 hours is pretty long for a podcast unless you're established or pretty famous for a podcaster. I'll PM you what I think after I listen, if you want. krushgroove fucked around with this message at 22:26 on Dec 6, 2010 |

King Lou posted:Did you download it all the way or are you playing it live on the site? That appears to be some kind of itunes thing when the episode doesn't download right. Other people are playing it right now without issue. I just downloaded it myself via iTunes and will listen to make sure it plays. if its not playing all the way I'd say its not fully downloaded. The file is about 18mb if its buffering in live it might stall and start over. If it is in iTunes then I would delete the file and re-download. I wonder if its just a heavy load This same skipping back thing happened to an episode I listened to from a while back, where you read a SA thread about crazy roommates. I don't use iTunes, I subscribe through Google Listen and use the Listen app on my Android phone, so I think it came from the RSS feed. Just letting you know.

Somehow got through that last Lou Reads the Internet - thank gently caress it's not a video podcast. No skipping backwards for me on that one, which was another positive. I loved the forum names in that one, like 'boycunt' and 'submissive human being'. On Adam Carolla: I used to really try to catch his episodes every single day, but ever since they started with the stupid sound effects and I started getting tired of his repeated rants, I only listen to the shows with certain guests. Kieth and the Girl is kind of the same every day but it's not always about Keith at least. I've started listening to a couple of the other Smodcast group shows instead of the original Smodcast because that's gotten very same-y as well, which was why I stopped listening to it a long long time ago.

I listen to a LOT of podcasts that all seem to talk about the same weird news stories every week, and with all the suggestions I've gotten from this thread and the listings for the podcast awards I think Uhh Yeah Dude will be taking the place of at least one or two of my podcasts...I think Jordan, Jessie, Go! will be one of the casualties coming up soon. They're usually funny but not as consistently funny as UYD.

*sigh* is there a goon place I can ask about tech issues? Basically, why iTunes sucks and won't refresh my feedburner feed? I can't get iTunes to show my feed at all, while Google Reader shows it just fine (but Google Listen - Android app does not, which is even more weird). I really want to share my podcast with the thread but want to have working in iTunes properly.

Thanks, I've done that, in the iTunes acceptance email they included that same URL to instant-ping iTunes so it will refresh, but still no joy. Feedburner puts in all the tags that iTunes requires, and I was able to change the description of the feed, which that showed up just fine in iTunes, but without any episode listing. I spent a lot of time updating blog posts to remove apostrophes in the posts so the HTML/XML shows up okay on feedvalidator.org and it's been several hours since I did that but iTunes still shows no episodes. Feedburner is supposed to be the be all end all of RSS aggregators but I'll have to think about looking for another one if this doesn't ever work. e: the feed is http://digitalporridge.wordpress.com/feed/ if anyone wants to take a look and see what's up Sorry to deviate from the usual banter...my favorite podcasts are The Bugle, Uhh Yeah Dude and Kieth and the Girl  I guess no one talks about KatG partly because they have their own forums?

I think I figured out the technical issue with my podcast - I upload the edited mp3 files to my podcast partner's me.com account, then he sends me a link, which I put in the blog posts. Apparently sometimes they are .mp3 links and other times they are just linking to a shortened URL like 'me.com/vquma' and iTunes doesn't like that, so nothing was showing up. So now I'm trying to get the actual mp3 links from the me.com server. This would have been avoided if we went with a real ftp server but hindsight, 20/20, etc. King Lou posted:I just got this comment posted on my Lou Reads blog: That is weird, but if you're mentioning the blog/site in the episode then hopefully that'll encourage people to visit there.

I've been meaning to check out The Nerdist, it sounds interesting for sure. And it looks like the problems with my iTunes feed are fixed, we transferred the MP3 files to a real FTP server and I updated links on the blog so Feedburner caught them. Now I just need to figure out how to make all the episodes show in the feed, instead of the latest 5. Anyway, sharing time: iTunes link and RSS link, the main site is https://www.digitalporridge.net The podcast is 30-35 minutes, roughly every week, it's about me (an American) and a friend (who's British) comparing cultures as well as stories, updates and things like that. We don't really do things like 'weird news' since there's so many other sites that cover that ground. I'm really happy with episode 8 particularly, I hope we can keep up the vibe, I think we're just hitting our stride. I'd appreciate any posts, subscribers, feedback, etc.!

I've asked a friend in the US to see what he can see in iTunes. You can subscribe in iTunes if you go to Advanced > Subscribe to Podcast and enter the RSS url. e: my buddy in Texas has gotten back to me, apparently because the location of the audio files was changed, iTunes freaks out (typical) but what I describe above works to download the files.

I think I've got all the kinks worked out with my iTunes feed, but need some more testers in the US...this isn't a cheap plea for subscribers since iTunes doesn't tell me how many people subscribe, but if I can have a couple of Americans subscribe to us in iTunes and let me know if you can download the episodes or not, I'd really appreciate it! The iTunes link is here: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/digital-porridge/id407218366 So far I have someone in Texas that can download everything, and someone in the northeast that can't. I'd appreciate any feedback from people that don't know me as well, so if you want to PM or email me any thoughts, all the contact info is on the site at https://www.digitalporridge.net details for subscribing in various ways are there too.

Fantastic!(boring side of doing a podcast follows) I've been testing the FTP over the past couple of weeks, I kept timing out of downloads, and we had to contact GoDaddy a couple of times to have them sort their poo poo out. I checked it earlier today, downloading all the episodes and then uploading a ZIP archive of the first 10 shows, and it all worked fast, so you should be able to download everything when you get home. I even checked it on iTunes on my work computer and a co-worker's computer and the latest shows downloaded OK. Long story short, technical issues have been fixed

Yeticopter posted:Speaking of Marc Maron, what's the consensus on his podcast, WTF? I'm trying to expand on my podcasting horizons but I don't know where to go first. UYD doesn't really do it for me anymore, so I'm thinking of trying Never Not Funny or Comedy Film Nerds. I like WTF, it's a different style of comedy and doesn't do the 'this week in weird news' thing too much. If you like Adam Carolla's interview bits but don't like his repeated rants, WTF is right up your street I think. I'm dropping Jordan Jesse Go for Uhh Yeah Dude (previously was listening to them both) because I can only have so much weekly comedy news to listen to, or commenting on celebrity lifestyles, etc., and there are other shows that I listen to that are not specifically comedy-related.

King Lou posted:Hey guys. I just posted a new episode of Lou Reads. Its SUPER NSFW so headphones on please! eeuurrggh...this one was pretty bad but not as disturbing as the Bareback Forums one. I tried going through your blog to find the Breeding Zone show but found at least a dozen other shows that sounded pretty disturbing/gross, so I think that will hold me off. It's probably a bad thing to listen to these at work as it's destroying my faith in humanity! But it's entertainment red19fire posted:Isn't podcasting coming to a tipping point? I think it's proving to be a radio killer, because there's more content and less interruptions. Carolla does direct sponsorship, Pardo has the premium subscription style, and Marc operates on donations; Has any business model come out as the 'best' way? Like Lou says the TWIT method of talking about the new Ford whatever for 5-8 minutes is pretty annoying - if it were at least spread out in the conversation or if it bookended the show that would be much better. I really hate the way the Smodcast shows have literally 8 minutes of ads and promotions, I know it might seem 'better' to get them out in the beginning instead of at the end when people can just skip to the next show, but IMO they'd do much better to just intersperse the show with promos, even if a live show with an audience cuts to a studio-recorded promo. I think podcasting is still quite young when it comes to making money. Very few people I know personally listen to them (and less listen to audiobooks to take advantage of Audible). It's just not as easy (for the non-geek) as turning on a car radio or switching on the TV. Isn't satellite radio still having trouble making money for people other than Stern? My dream for the show I do is to get some sort of sponsorship or donation thing going, but that's well down the road I think.

I'm just about to give up on Carolla's show entirely...at the moment I only download the shows with guests I think might be interesting, the most recent one of which was Lemmy from Motorhead. Lemmy was only there for the last 1/3rd of the show, they were playing sound effects all over everything and it was the same old poo poo that everyone else complains about. I'd send in an email saying the sound effects really cheapen the whole feel of the show but I have a feeling that's all Brian does during the show.

For any goons who do a podcast, I just registered http://www.gooncasts.com! (link doesn't work at the moment, but it is registered) Hopefully someone can help me get a PHP database-type thing going, but initially the site will be a straight-up listing of goon podcasts with logos, links (blog/site/RSS/iTunes), descriptions and other simple HTML things, until I can figure out how to put in Twitter and RSS feeds and stuff like that. For now, fill in this Google Spreadsheet with your show's info and I'll put it on the site in the next week or so. If GoDaddy continues to screw up linking their UK and US servers I'll move the Digital Porridge files and links to point to this new hosting.

Gooncasts.com update for goons that are podcasters Setting up a hosted wiki is more complicated than I thought, so I found a free Wiki site called editthis.info and started a wiki for Gooncasts: http://gooncasts.wikidot.com/ which I can forward the domain to easily. I've added the names of the podcasts that have been entered in the Gooncasts spreadsheet, but no other info so far. There's also a lot of podcasts mentioned ITT that aren't on the spreadsheet! So the question is: Do any gooncasters have a problem with gooncasts.com forwarding to http://gooncasts.wikidot.com/ rather than being a bespoke website? I just don't have the time and knowledge to build up something that looks slick (or even good). If someone has filled in info on the spreadsheet but doesn't add anything to the wiki, I'll fill out a basic page for the podcast but leave it at that. Then down the road we can take donations for a banner ad. Hopefully everyone that goes on the wiki will donate! SA banner ads are $30/month e: changed the URL for the wiki site to a better wiki provider krushgroove fucked around with this message at 17:26 on Feb 15, 2011 |

Any goons who have shows, or appear in shows, we have a wiki! http://gooncasts.wikidot.com/ I'll add wiki pages for all the shows that have completed the Gooncast spreadsheet so far - any other shows will need to be added by the goons that run/appear on the show. To add a page or edit your info you'll need to sign up to Wikidot (it's free, natch, and takes a minute, then clicking a confirmation email link) and then go to the Join page of the wiki - new members have to be goons, this is just to prevent random trashing of the pages. This is what your show's page might look like with a logo and episode links: http://gooncasts.wikidot.com/digital-porridge Go for it!

This has been a big week for Digital Porridge: new domain, new blog (well, new theme), in-browser media player on every post, and what I think is an instant 'best of' podcast with #18. Check it: http://www.digitalporridge.com/ RSS feed iTunes (iTunes has been really slow the past few days, according to the support forums, but the web site has an in-browser media player which is really handy!) Every episode has 'show notes' with links, pictures and videos of most of the stuff we talk about, and we try to encourage listener reviews, blog posts, feedback, emails and all that good stuff.

We tackle charges of podcasting while on drugs, theorize on watching 'conception porn' - basically going back in time to see the moments surrounding your conception, a bit more about cats and a bit more on top of that. Check it out: http://www.digitalporridge.com/ RSS feed iTunes (just uploaded it, so it may take a day or so for iTunes to show it) Every episode has 'show notes' on the site with links, pictures and videos relating to the stuff we talk about, and we encourage listener blog posts, reviews, emails and all that good feedback stuff.
