    I actually think we'd struggle to do an hour.

    if it was an edited programme you could do an hour


    combining different podcasts and providing as a full 1 hour programme and seperatly.

    You'd be surprised, id too would love to hear you go the hour. It would take more planning obviously but there is enough traffic on the site each week to give juicy material? Plus if you have guest attendees regularly that will add to it. :)

    No... not 'more planning'

    Just planning in general might work. You don't think I started recording this with a plan to do an impression of Dudess do you? The magic of the moment just takes me.

    I do have some interesting ideas for things I'd like to do on future ones... but I like to keep the secret so as to get nice good live reactions from the others.

    Thats what i mean. If you have topics or threads noted to speak about (as a prompt as such) and let it be a guide. Or something like that.

    Wouldn't that be how they do it already? (I hope) :confused:

    We usually chat for about half an hour beforehand... browse boards a little bit and pick stuff out.

    tbh is good at this... but it probably is an area that needs more work.

    Maybe if you had prominent people from various forums (not all of them obviously) who would act like informants and tell you what's going down in their forum each week. You could even call them (or skype them) so it's like 'we've got whoever on the line'.... "Talk to Joe!" :D It would fill the gaps between the banter anyway.

    Eh?

    Um.. thanks :)

    Believe me, I'd have used that voice of mine a fair bit more and my brain would have spewed more interesting stuff if I wasn't still suffering somewhat from the night before.

    It seems I become a bit of a vampire from the after-affects of alcohol. I'm sure I'm not alone there ;) Not only was my brain operating in permanent 3rd gear but I showed up at the studio in shades and a hoody ffs ... hiding from the sun big-time.

    Next time I'll be better prepared... Next time I'll kick arse :)

    Good idea about having a couple of 'snitches' floating about the board. Some of the stuff I come across while the place is dead is serious LOL material.

    I think a dignified apology in the next podcast would be appropriate :D

  • Registered Users Posts: 12,309 ✭✭✭✭Bard


    Grand. Video podcast for the next one then, monkeyfudge? :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    No need. My nipple has a comedy voice and can chat away as well.

    You know you're now contractually bound to do this now. Even if it has the same voice as Dudess.

    Hmm... a different female moderator impersonated every week with the voice provided by one of monkeyfudge's nipples?

    I can see that working, yeah... :)
