    Hey everybody. I know we had a previous thread about ways we could improve the PW Forum in the less popular months. My idea was to do a podcast.

    Now its time to go balls to the wall and actually do a podcast. I do feel like I need a co-host. Is anybody willing to do one with me?

    We could also use this thread to think of different ideas about the podcast.

    Cheers ,
    DB.
    Fill Gerard C with whiskey and he'll say whatever you like.

    I wouldn't fancy it now myself tbh and anyway I dunno would I be any good at this kinda thing. Tbh these things can be fierce cringeworthy to listen to sometimes and have been in the past.

    I know what ya mean. This wouldn't be one of those long Dr.Keith style shows. It might be a 30 minute bull**** talking podcast.

    Wanna make use of my new Skype account :D

    No you need Skype and a Headset/ Microphone and you can do it over the internet and one of you's record it. Its a good laugh in all honesty and I wish you lads the best of luck if you do it and you have a listener here.

    No. You just need a headset and a mic. I got a phone in euro2 for 2 euro. If anybody is interested PM me and we can have a discussion about it.

    I've been corrected. I just need to have a Skype account and I can ring the co-host(s). I just have to record the phonecall like a complete pervert. Quality wouldn't need to be professional or anything.

    Diabhal, if you want to give it a trial run I'd be willing to guest co-host on the first one but I don't have no Skype

    I won't be able to do anything till March by the looks of it which is a shame. If somebody else has the time in the next 2-3 weeks ( I envy you) I will gladly hand the reigns over for at least the time being.

    I would like to get a bi-monthly podcast when we start as I think throughout any given month I would be able to record with a co-host at a suitable time.

    Thanks for the offer Bubs. I may well take you up on your offer for the first show. If anybody else is interested (don't have to be a regular to the forum just have a general grasp of the current wrestling scene in WWE and maybe TNA). Just drop me a PM.

    Cheers.

    I'd be up for this. I have some experience on radio(someone oce said i had the perfect face for radio :pac:). I used to present a show on a local(voluntary) station not so long ago.

    Edit: Hs anyone ever checked out some of the Boards podcasts? It could be done in the same way.

    Their are many ways it can be done but I reckon Skype is the easiest in all honesty. I also reckon you get 3 people in to do it 1 Major host and then 2 guys to just pipe in or even 2 main hosts and then 1 guy that just chirps in every now and again like the old one. I think only 2 people leaves a lot of room for just silence which can be incredibly akward to listen to and makes you uncomfortable so 3 I reckon, anymore than that as well and you are pushing it. I might join in some time in the future if Skype works on this computer and I get a headset :D

    God, it's been a while since I posted here!

    I'm delighted to see that another podcast is in the works. I had a whole lot of fun with our early podcasts back in the day, however, as with life, scheduling conflicts, lack of interest and ultimately real life made the latter ones a chore tbh. Hopefully history doesn't repeat itself with podcast 2.0!

    Anyways, I was just passing through, saw this thread and thought I'd offer the OP some advice re: the podcast:
    • Don't script the podcast! Ever! Scripts are great if you have a team of dedicated writers preparing each podcast minute by minute, but chances are you don't. By all means have a plan of action, but use it as a guideline and try to just go with the flow.
    • Keep an eye on time, it is very easy to get side tracked and go ranting (as listeners to the old podcast can testify to).
    • That joke you came up with before the show that you think is going to sound so funny and cool is going to backfire on you or it'll be nothing more that a polite, forced, chringey chuckle from you listener as they listen on the bus, in their car or at the gym.
    • Now a small word of warning. Choose your co-presenters carefully. One of the biggest drawbacks I found with the original podcast was the fact we were at different stages of our lives. I was a young student who was out at night and had most of my afternoons free, while Shaun was settling down in life and worked during the day. This may sound stupid or trivial at first, but made scheduling podcasts a nightmare.
    • Also, on the topic of scheduling the podcast, make sure you factor in time for prep work. A one hour podcast (give or take) would usually take double that to record with sound testing, planning of the show and other general bullsh*t.
    • One thing I always thought we should have done is keep it short and sweet! 30 mins (which I'm glad to see you're aiming for) is perfect time to do a podcast. Even tape for 40-45 mins and then edit it. Remember most people only have an attention span of 30 minutes (or 30 seconds if you listen to TNA's creative), so keep it around that mark.
    • I'll leave you with one final thought. Embrace any criticism you get! Learn from it and get better, but never let it get to you. People out there will talk about how you need to speak up, how you need to talk more about the indies and how you spent too much time ranting about how a big name wrestler took a sh*t in a Diva's purse, but until they have put on a headset and recorded a show, they don't know a f*cking thing about what it's like to do what you've done!
      **Disclaimer** I'm not referring to any single piece of criticism we received, just using general examples :)

    That was a lot more than I intended to say, but I hope it will lead to a much easier settling in period for you OP and if you want to ask me anything, PM me, I'd be happy to help you out in anyway I can.

    P.S. Enjoy it, cos it's a hell of a lot of fun while it lasts.

    Why have just one co presenter?
    I know 'threes a crowd', but could put a nice spin on things.

    That's the plan. I'd have two co-presenters with me but I don't want to have to ring 2 landlines (money is tight these days). I'd like to at most ring one landline and have somebody else using Skype too.

    Does anybody want to do this with me? Bubs said he would but I'd like a rotating group of presenters.

    Why are you doing it on a landline? I think its just so much easier to do on a computer (Skype) and its free as well, you are going to record it using something on your computer I assume so whyn ot just do it all on the computer, obviosuly it dosn't really matter to me but it just seems silly to do it over the phone.

    I'm recording it using Skype and Audacity. I just figured that alot of people don't have Skype and wouldn't have headsets or anything like that. Are you on Skype Reganio?

    I used to do a pro wrestling podcast years ago with Joe Legend. We had a lot of fun doing it and got to interview some great people, Colt Cabana, Raven, DDP, Kurt Angle, SOS, Terri Runnels etc... I used to be a big pro wrestling fan back then. Joe Legend and I are still good friends till this day, I wish you guys the best of luck with the podcast.
