Episode 3: Calls

[Smiling River]

I've not run this by Lysander or Sunny Dove so keep that in mind, this could be changed.

 

Episode 3: I wanted to talk at length about each forming guild. This will be recorded no sooner than July 7th so I hope most information about them would be out by then. I am also aware that there are a couple of people who want to start a guild but aren't listed on the guild teaser page. This goes for them and any guild which doesn't have a blurb: Send us whatever you do have ([email protected]) by July 7th so we can at least cover it.

 

I also would like guild leaders to call in and talk to us directly about their future guild. I know we wont have time to have every guild leader call in, but I also assume that some wont be able to due to schedule conflict, etc. This episode will be recorded (tentatively) July 7 @5pm EST. If you are a future guild leader and want to talk about your guild on the podcast, we can get you on 5-9pm. Who is interested?

[Aveline]

Sure, that sounds like fun. Now to hunt down my long-lost microphone.. >_>

[Ravirr]

What about some leaders who might want to say something about their guild, yet they do not currently own a microphone? Could they send an email of what they wanted to say instead? :oops:

and what information should be given? Just info on the story? Goals?

[Sunny Dove]

If it's not possible for linkshell leaders to call in, email us whatever you want us to relay on the podcast.

[Smiling River]

I have questions that I would as if you were live- so if you don't mind, send us info and I'll reply with q's if they aren't covered... that way it would feel as if you called- sorta.

[Aveline]

Hey other linkshell leaders! Contact these guys so everyone gets some on-air time! :cheer: :cheer:

[Brynhilde]

I've yet to speak to Keir about this, but I hope we'll be able to contribute.

[Smiling River]

We are recording tomorrow (not wed) starting at 5pm! Add me on skype (MasonFFXIV) ahead of time so we can test call/sound quality. Thanks.

[ArmachiA]

I sent an email. I also have a professional mic ;o I don't NEED to be interviewed but I will. Expect insanity.

[Gims]

Primer before I speak. Have about 10 years radio/media experience and would gladly help you guys with anything you need as far as production. It's good but we can certainly make it top tier.

[Ellion Goto]

Totally should interview ArmachiA... Or me.... Or us both....whatever.

[Smiling River]

Kinda last minute but we can fit you in, just make sure either for you are on Skype 5pm EST today.

[ArmachiA]

Still trying to get my bearings round here, didn't even know this section existed till like... uh... today >.>

 

It's cool if you can't fit us in

[Keir]

>.> I'm just now seeing this. Okay, I've never done a podcast or been on one, so can someone tell me what I need? I have an earpiece/mic that I use for Teamspeak.

 

In terms of information, I'll try to scramble some stuff together for you.

[Smiling River]

Well I'm glad you finally found us!

 

I'd like to get everyone on. Contact me asap on Skype: MasonFFXIV

We will start recording in a couple of hours but I wanna get you on before then so we can test sound quality and so on.

[ArmachiA]

I'm on and have added you, just waiting for acceptance

 

I JUST WANT ACCEPTANCE

[Smiling River]

woot! That was epic! Unfortunately the episode will also be epic-ly sized, reaching a 2 hour mark! Think of it as a double, heh. We got to talk to Keir, ArmachiA, Mythis and Soren. Thanks again for coming on to speak to us and we hope to have you as guests in the future!

[Shamadconde]

I love epicsodes! Those were always my favorite LBR episodes. BRING IT ON!!!!

[Aveline]

That was really fun! Thanks again for having me on.

 

Hey, just a thought for the bigger podcasts, you could always break them up into multiple file parts. That might make it easier to upload.

[Soren Miren]

Thanks for having me, guys ^^ I had a blast, and I was pleasantly surprised by the great atmosphere we had going right from the start. I'm really looking forward to hearing it all over again and counting my slip-ups and lost-train-of-thoughts. :joker:

[Keir]

You have nothing on me in that department, Soren, but I had an awesome time. I can't wait to have fun with you all in game! Thanks for having me on the show!

[ArmachiA]

I can't wait to see how many times I went "Um...."

 

I had a great time talking to the guild leaders and the podcast members, everyone was really nice!

[Sunny Dove]

Thanks everyone for coming on! I should have time to edit the episode shortly.

 

Oh, and Gims! If you would like to talk production with us sometime, we would love to do so. I do nearly all of the editing but my experience is quite as terribly impressive as your's. We tried recording all of our audio locally and edit them together (so each person would have their own audio track; I can even out the volumes) but we ran into issues. As far as microphone quality, Andrey and I both have the Audio Technica AT2020. I find it's a pretty solid mic for podcasting uses. Anyhow, I'm certain your advice would be useful. We are all on skype frequently so hop on there sometime and we'll have a chat. Shoot us an email with your skype account name and we'll add you.

[Gims]

Don't have a Skype but I'll invest in an account once I get home from work.

 

I've listened to the first two and they were both really good. Keep in mind that anything I give as far as advice is going to be in relation to the production and not so much the content. You guys are gonna figure that out on your own.

 

I'll have a handful of suggestions and ideas for you guys if you like. Again however these things are super organic, and the only real consistency should be sound quality and format.
