Noc-cast - Contributors & Topics

FewFew

Hi guys,

So we're looking for people who would like to contribute to the next Noc-cast.

It's going to be done over Skype so location is not an issue.

We're going to try and have a bit more structure in the next one so we can bring guests on and off for different topics etc.

So throw down your name and what your super special area of interest is (Noc themes preferably )

Rhyme

In some other forum podcasts, people have brought topics from the other parts of the forums that they visit (cinema & television, games, general science etc) and how those threads/topics relate to the Noc forum. A nice example is speeddemosarchive.com have a charity gaming marathon on at the moment, some of those guys will be staying awake for 24 hours in a row or more playing games (they're playing Banjo Kazooie at the moment), might make for good conversation, especially when sleep deprivation sets in.

Having a topic per person (and a backup topic if the first falls flat conversation-wise) keeps variety at a high too. Don't be afraid to deviate, especially if you can segway conversation into something interesting or tie in an earlier topic. Letting people bring their own areas of expertise/interest in a limited way can be a lot of fun too, for example; getting an engineer and an art student together to break down a topic can get very diverse, interesting... and weird, to name but one combination.

Another thing i've found that works is designating a person to recognise when conversation is drifting and set things back on topic, a moderator if you will. It is essentially adding structure to something fluid and dynamic, but it helps keep things moving along a nice pace.

Variety in conversation types can be cool too, short questionnaires, timed rounds, mini-debates... all of these things keep people on their toes and makes sure nobody gets left behind in the conversation.

That was a bit of a stream of consciousness, might have drifted a bit, hope it was of some help.

Do you have a set night and time that you record these bad boys?

I know it was covered in the last one but my special area of interest would have to be milk, i just don't think you covered it in the intricate detail such a delicious topic deserves, you did not even compare the different brands available in the country!

We were thinking the next one would be on Tuesday week. So the 18th.

Id love to cover some of the older threads in the forum that should be resurrected. Ill do some homework beforehand to this end.

Also i want to talk about an idea i had ages ago for a forum (and maybe boardswide) organised pub quiz.

cyberwolf77

I can come by hopefully. Depends if my headset arrives in time.

Baggly

What specifically might you wanna talk about? Can be anything really, but the next podcast is going to be more structured than the last and a lot less rambling.

cyberwolf77

I could cover comics/ the new tournament I working on.

Baggly

Yeah sounds good

cyberwolf77

I'll let you know when the headset arriveth

Food ALWAYS comes up in the forum. Might we have one or two people to discuss Nocturnal foodstuffs?

You're too efficient some times. A bit like Batman is when it comes to kicking ass... super efficient.

Baggly

Yeah but superman has super speed. He would get it done quicker

I'm very much looking forward to an in-depth discussion on cookies.

Maguined

Cookies are okay but I could easily spend 30 minutes speaking about the intricate vagaries of toasted cheese sandwiches alone.

I like how I get berated for laughing at you guiz, then the same person starts having really loud sex that I can hear through my Manson! You know it's bad when you can hear it through that!

I should stop reading threads from the bottom up... I thought this was a suggestion for a podcast segment, I was about to say "I can make a song out of anything!"

Turn off the music, then loudly speak directions to how they should do it, like you are a porn directer. If that doesn't get you adequate revenge it will at least get you lulz.

reallyrose

At least you know that your laugh turns people on.

Poor rose, you sound like you are speaking from personal experience of the negative kind, your laugh killed a previous boyfriends erection didnt it!

Well how would you feel if your girlfriend laughed at your penis. Poor guy probably thought he was about to have the craziest sex-bot filled night of his life!

squishykins

My voice is the sexiest voice anyone will ever hear ever. Ever.







































Except for Christina Aguilera...that voice is orgasm on a track =D

reallyrose

Oh! We could have a New Person part of the podcast, where we talk to a New Noc and make them tell us all their secrets. :pac:

And squishy can put her sexy voice where her mouth is.

FewFew

Now I kinda want to hear ya sing on the latest The Muesli track.

Ah, excellent. My headset arrives tomorrow and I already has Skype downloaded.

squishykins

Baggly

I'm actually just gonna cut and print the two segments we already have and so let this kick off fresh with Podcast 3 rather than trying to fulfill our Podcast 2 plans.

Baggly

Good plan i reckon.
