 Name: Errand of Mercy Site: https://www.facebook.com/ErrandOfMercy RSS: http://feeds.feedburner.com/ErrandOfMercy iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/errand-of-mercy/id550506820 Genre: Comedy Released: Weekly Errand of Mercy is a show I (Geraint Thomas) do with my good friend Simon Payne. We used to do a student radio show and after Simon broke up with his long term girlfriend and I ended up in a job cold calling the recently bereaved we started this podcast to deal with our quarter life crisis. Once a week we get together and record our thoughts on the news, music and life and it turns out this is pretty funny stuff. Also we're British so are automatically entertaining to any Yanks who might listen. We're on episode 19 now and finally seemed to have worked out most of the bugs which included Simon apparently resetting the first 13 shows so they all say they were released on September 11th. Have some fan reviews: "Best. Podcast. Ever. !" "Simon reminds me of Stewart Lee" "I was walking down the road earlier today listening to this one and let out a loud "BURN!" at around the 20 minute mark... Luckily I'm pretty used to people thinking I'm crazy." "this is hilarious" This Week The Rolling Stones are back on tour to the surprise of all, Simon and Geraint relive getting groomed by internet perverts, Creep or Creation, Bland Music for Ordinary People, having sex while wearing the crown of Gondor, Furbies have returned as part of a fiendish Chinese plot to brainwash our kids, the state of advertising in Late Stage Capitalism.

 Website: https://www.facebook.com/TheEdgeOfChaos RSS: http://archive.org/services/collection-rss.php?query=creator%3ANeurotoxin Genre: Political commentary/opinion Released: Usually bi-weekly on average, sometimes weekly and sometimes once a month Goon: VH4Ever Description: Basically The Edge Of Chaos is a podcast with me and my hardcore Randian libertarian Ron Paul supporting friend from high school (I am a former libertarian and current Progressive liberal) debating various current events, political and economic theory, or anything else that's interesting in the political sphere. The last few episodes have focused on the 2012 election and electoral politics in general but in the most recent episode, posted today, we tackle DOMA and branch out into a discussion of federal/state power and free markets vs Socialism, etc. Lots of arguing because my friend is really dedicated to his opinions!

 The Bloody Good Horror Halloween Spooktacular LIVE We're doing something different for Halloween! This Sunday Oct. 28th, we're doing our first live video cast for the holidays. We'll be broadcasting via our Youtube Channel and taking live questions via Youtube and Twitter. Since this is part of our regular podcast, I figured I'd share here too to invite you all to come join us! We'll be watching "Human Centipede II: Full Sequence" for the first time, so it should make for extra awkwardness as we all get exposed to this for the first time! Full show details can be found on our website!

 Facebook::iTunes::FeedBurner Errand of Mercy Episode 20: Deep in the Duodenum of Nihilism This week we discuss a 9 inch dildo jammed into a Chinese man's intestines, more things that absolutely have to stop, teens taking looking at boobs to strange new levels, how to deal with your boyfriend wearing your pants, more Creep or Creation, Germany being the racist drunk uncle of Europe, English Fascists doing it wrong, how to avoid tazing the blind and much, much more. I apologize for some funny sound issues on this, I thought we had worked them out but it still sound a bit crapped out in a couple of places. As we generally can't be in the same city we're having to do it all online which is easier than I expected but can still throw up a few issues.

Facebook::iTunes::FeedBurner Errand of Mercy Episode 21: Pissed at the Wheel on Jeezo This week I started by breaking the news of Star Wars 7 to Simon who hadn't checked the headlines before we started recording. Obviously this was hilarious but his mental collapse might have had a slightly detrimental effect on the rest of the show. Also given that everyone is talking about it there was quite a lot of depressing American politics which is a real struggle to make into something fun and enjoyable.

Darkwing Duck posted:Numbers have slowed a bit so I was wondering if anyone had advice on tapping into a new audience? I worry just wearing out people on my facebook feed. Unless you're someone who became famous or built an audience through a method external to podcasting (you're a celebrity, you have a popular website, online comic, streaming video series, etc) there's a pretty finite ceiling as far as interest goes. Despite my garbage lack of a schedule, the audience for my podcast has been pretty much roughly the same number for years by virtue of the niche subject matter. For instance, I looked at my site stats for how many people were clicking on the links I posted in this thread and it was basically nothing. Makes sense. A lot of people who listen to podcasts put out by "regular people" are often themselves podcasters. If I had one bit of advice for you, it'd be that you've done about 30 episodes but have no promos. Make something that's like 30-60 seconds long which includes the name of your show, the URL, and something you feel captures the gist of what you're about. Then put the link up on your sidebar, email it to the podcasts you listen to which operate on a similar wavelength, and ask if they'll play it. Offer to play their promo in return if they'd like. Shows that are commercial enterprises trying to monetize themselves probably will ignore you. But if you're not "a famous person," what else can you do without throwing money at the problem?

If you have the money poo poo like MaxFunZone have services to buy promos in their shows, I think you guys could get a good few listeners from one of those since you fit in well in the quirky humor areas they do.

Facebook::iTunes::FeedBurner Errand of Mercy Episode 22: Smashing News to Bring you the Truth This week is all about Cross-Atlantic exchange. Geraint stayed up till 8am watching the US election and is all hosed up on politics and sleep deprivation. Simon went to see Wrestling come to the UK and had a fun time. Errand of Mercy's official tag-team is now the Rhode Scholars. Geraint gives a British persons view on Fox News. Russia Today makes a welcome return. A man in Oldham is giving children cocaine for Halloween. We had a massive amount of fun doing this weeks episode and I think it might be one of our best based purely on that.

I'm pretty busy between my podcast and day job, but I try and make a point of listening to other goon shows and giving them a shout-out if I like them. I'll make sure I let folks know if your show's ever getting a mention, and if you feel like returning the favor that's always appreciated too.

Hey everybody, my friend and I make an improv comedy video game podcast that we are quite proud of. It's called Sons Of Vidya, and we release every tuesday. Sons of Vidya Itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/sons-of-vidya/id511215183 Libsyn: http://thesonsofvidya.libsyn.com/webpage RSS: http://thesonsofvidya.libsyn.com/rss The Show's blog page: http://sonsofvidya.blogspot.com/ The episodes I recommend: Episode 12: Hollywood and Episode 17: We are in control We talk about videogames every week but we also talk about anything on our minds. We often make up fake products or sponsors as joke segments, too. We are heavily inspired by Tim and Eric Awesome show, Mike and Tom eat snacks, Comedy Bang Bang and The Preston And Steve Show. The episodes do not have to be listened to in order, and often deal with a specific topic, like the best controllers, casual gaming, violence in games or game related careers. Thanks for trying us out!

Facebook::iTunes::FeedBurner Errand of Mercy Episode 24: Pound-land Panic Attack This weeks highlights include Simon thinking that he'd killed a child and then having a panic attack in a second hand DVD shop, and in depth look at the Indian education system, and the discovery of the "Cage Effect". Plus updates on our wrestling alter-egos and the man who accidentally gave some children a bunch of cocaine. 24 seems like a massive milestone to me, I mean we'd actually passed a full days worth of material a while ago but this makes it feel a lot more official.

It was nice to do a show over a cup of tea and some porridge though and also reminded me and Simon of our roots in Breakfast radio. This week have news about Crazy Uncle Deutchland's bestiality laws, corporate incompetence which takes me to my dark place, future South Korean cyber-punk gangster city, excitement as our lack of physics knowledge convinces us that warp drives might soon be real, and the welcome return of Creep or Creation. We're also looking at making some youtube videos of our "best bits" soon, so you can hopefully look forward to me pimping that before too long. a pipe smoking dog fucked around with this message at 18:03 on Nov 29, 2012 |

Im still trying to figure out how to up the sound quality within my limited financial means. Things seem to be getting better than when we started out but honestly I still think it has a ways to go.

That said, last week we talked about blowing up the moon, some Brandon Sanderson books, and added yet another member into our rotating cast, and this time its a girl. Also we've re-done our website https://www.dorknight.com a bit, and now are starting to do daily blog postings. Hopefully this will turn out well! Geoff has one about Magic: the Gathering, and tommrrow I've got one about Old Skool Hack. A daily dose of dork if you will.

The Sweet Release Episode 8 - Out of Season Hamantaschen This week on The Sweet Release we ruin Christmas, while two Florida women ruin sex! A “listener” sends us “glowing” “words” of “praise” and a stripper sends us horrifying words of how much meth shes been smoking. Also covered: Reptilians Vs. Goreans (Google at your own risk), The end of the world, Mayor McCheese, and the next break out star of A&E’s Hoarders. SITE ITUNES Been trying to shorten each episode out so that we're not going past an hour excluding the intro/outro music, and actually managed it this time around. With all my tinkering I still think I may just have to actually invest in nicer microphones. At this point I'm mostly just trying to deal with the little squeal/hiss noise thats in the background of the recording.

 Facebook | ITunes | Podomatic | Site We've been podcasting about great horror flicks for over a year now. We have 15 shows so far. I'm working on editing the 16th show featuring Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984) just in time for Christmas. We generally release one show every month since we do this in our spare time and it takes a while to edit a show together. This isn't 3 hours of people talking. We edit out all the fluff, stay on topic, throw in audio clips of the scenes we discuss and add some music accompaniment. Its a tightly wrapped package of Horror talk perfect to listen to on a long walk, while you work out, on a car trip, whenever you have some time to listen. The whole point of the show is to get people interested in some of the great horror movies that they may have missed over the years. The hidden gems and fantastic genre titles. Whether you've never heard of the movies we focus on or are battle hardened horror fans, if you enjoy podcasts you'll love this show. Its Horror 101: Educating Your Fears!!! LIke us on Facebook, subscribe to us on ITunes. We'd love to get your feedback and suggestions. Here's our latest show featuring Creepshow (1982).... http://horror101.podomatic.com/player/web/2012-11-18T13_01_20-08_00

Not sure where else to ask this, but can anyone recommend me some hardware? I'm looking into starting a show with some friends. I'm looking for a decent mixer with 4 input at most. I'm also looking for some microphone recommendations. http://www.amazon.com/Behringer-502-XENYX502-5-Channel-Mixer/dp/B000J5UEGQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1355346153&sr=8-2&keywords=behringer+mixer That's the mixer I've had recommended before. My budget for mics is very low, so price for quality is my biggest factor.
