I am planning on doing a biweekly podcast but I have no idea how to go about this. Does anybody have experience in Podcasts and can help me get set up so I can start doing these podcasts. I think this is gonna be a great addition to the brotherhood

So what I need is a step-by-step instructions on how to set up Podcasts and then how to get them on to the forum
 
I’m not too familiar with podcasts and how to upload but I used to do a lot of audio engineering so I know a lot about microphones/ set ups and audio software to monitor and record your vocals.

Awesome that’ll be a big help. I don’t have a lot of money to invest into audio gear but I still think I have some leftover equipment from when I used to produce music. So I’m hoping I have a decent microphone and I wanted to be able to set up so people can call in or would that be different then a podcast?
 
Hey DLD:

I have a bunch of recording experience as well, like Born, but I have not done any podcast production.

Is this something you want to take global, with a formal channel on iTunes, Stitcher, etc?

Or more of an internal project for members of the forum?

I wanted to be open to all who want to listen. Like I said I think I have a decent microphone. I would want it on iTunes if it was possible. It would be something I would do for probably 1520 minutes three times a week. I would also like to have them here on the floor on organized so men listen to them.

I know that the Internet is going the way of podcasts and videos so I want to put a lot of my effort into these two areas, in addition to helping in the brotherhood. I know my videos do very well so that’s a no brainer but the Podcasts or something new to me.

The last question on Podcasts would it be like YouTube or you have a page that is called a certain name, let’s say MOS podcasts, and then every single recording would be under that?
 
Podcasts are just an mp3 recording of your voice or show you do and then you name it add some meta tags like year, what subject is about and you just upload it on mos using the media feature. Then you just make a thread here with all your podcasts organized.

Its pretty simple. Just like uploading songs or spoken word. You can do Audio or Video and just upload it with the Media button in the top header or menu. I set that up a while back when you wanted to do it before.

If you want to stream live, that's another platform.
 
You dont need no fancy mic or mixing board to get started, you can do everything on the cell phone.

Just download a free voice recorder app and start recording, save file and upload on mos.
 
I like Audacity for recording, very straight-forward to use, if you use PC. Don't Macs (most of them anyway) come with BandGarage etc., that has recording function?
I have a decent USB microphone myself, but true, things can be done on a phone.

If one is recording, it's good to have a watch on hand, a topic list etc., otherwise it's easy to go long length. :-D I know from experience; making a 10 minute or longer recording of voice/video of just something is so much easier than trying to squeeze stuff into 1 or 2 minutes.
Podcasts in a way are "forgiving" in this time sense, as most are 15-30 minutes long to my understanding. But still, it's good to stay on point and not to linger away too much.

Also, you have Adobe CS5, you can use Sound Booth and the Built in MIc on your LapTop to do this. Then you can record, edit your files

Ok, that sounds like a lot of work ? but once I get it down it should be easy. I already tried on the iPhone using the recording program but the files are huge. Now I understand why. I will try one and see if I can get it online by tomorrow. Thanks for the help, I understand much better.

Make sure you set settings to 128khz mp3 so audio files are small or once you upload, our converter on mos will convert for you.
 
Looks great, thanks. I was able to sign in but can not find where to upload. They have a tutorial I am going to watch. I would love to convert all YouTube videos to audio also so I will work on that to. Can’t do a real one now as I can’t really talk without slurs and dribble. Hopefully I will have my temporary teeth soon. But in the meantime I will learn all about podcasts.
 
It is very simple, you login and there is an upload button. If you are on a cell phone, it is in the menu.

Many are done that way! No need for big budget unless you're corporate run with a board of directors. Lol

You can only upload audio files via computer, it is to prevent piracy of music.
However you can record using your phones microphone directly into soundcloud if you download the soundcloud app.


To Upload Sound Files to SoundCloud

Login and use "Upload" in top menu or "Upload More" button on bottom of page.

That should be a good start. I won’t be able to do podcasts for at least four weeks because of by slurring but at least I can get started on converting YouTube videos to audio files. I do have the mobile application of SoundCloud so I will try to find what you’re talking about.
 
If you get stuck with it, message me.

If you could help that be wonderful. It’s pretty simple really you can download a program that turns YouTube videos in the MP3s and then from there we can upload them to our podcast. I’m gonna start working on this tomorrow because we have many videos. The one thing the lookout for is videos that need visuals, they will not work as a podcast.
 
You know I ask people, and 9/10 times they never get back to me! or simply leave me hanging like a fucking idiot. THANK YOU Mike, for getting back to me on this.

Whats your email, could do with a chat.
 
I'm down for an interview when you're ready DLD.

This will be awesome let me know how you want to set it up. I should be able to speak much better very soon. I’m just waiting for the swelling to go down so they can give me my partial teeth so I can eat and talk while they make my implants. Without the teeth they really can’t speak that well. So maybe in a few days we can do our first run. I’m going to hit the dentist on Monday and see if my swelling has gone down enough to get me my temporaries and we can do the first MOS podcast ever!
 
I think Friday is good my speech is improving so I think I might be ready by Friday. I just need to know how we do this how we set it up with multiple people. It would be great to have a few people on every show. Latest researc I think Friday’s good my speech is improving so I think I might be ready by Friday. I just need to know how we do this how we set it up? It would be great to have a few people on every shelf.
 
It does not have to be live it can be either live or recorded but I think if we’re going to have two or three guests on at a time it should be done live.
 
Depends what genre I guess, in astronomy they do them live very often as the observations are live.
Most are run via YouTube, but many alternative providers are around.
 
You can do it live while recording it obviously so it’ll always be there for someone to listen too if they missed the live. I personally like the idea of live it’s more organic can’t go back and edit nothing until after everything’s natural but whatever you guys decide I’m tuning in regardless.
