podcasting

Just got an idea, to make a short podcast episode (if you don't know what it is, it can be described as something like a non-live radio you can download and listen to whenever you want) every week or bi-weekly, maybe 5 minutes a piece, introducing one or two songs from 4th Class (hey we've got enough music for a year at least <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->) and saying a couple of sentences about the latest happenings around Korax' Heritage, every time someone else from the team (we could even vary the language). What do you think?

I think it's a good idea and it could make people more aware of our progress (for small it could be, heh!), and the language thing is cool too, because it will make people that don't speak english very well understand it too <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->, I think we should make it bi-weekly too.

Actually, the multi-language thing would be cool for the news/blog system too.

Sounds like an interesting idea, and I'd go with bi-weekly.

I think the multi lingual thing will be really easy, since most of us speak english and our natal language, it would make it really varied for everyone to read <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> . So let's go for it then!

Hmm, I like the idea too! <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> Based on RambOrc's first post, it's going to be spoken and not written, so I'll have to find my old eld cheapo mic, or use a voice emulator, but they may defeat the purpose. <!-- s:? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif" alt=":?" title="Confused" /><!-- s:? --> I'd go biweekly too - once school starts again in September I'll be a bit busy.

Bi-weekly would mean the same person has to make a podcast every 2-3 months or so (depending on the number of staff members who'd do one). Actually I guess the question is whether we prefer more shorter or less longer ones, consensus seems to be on something in the middle.

We could make the first one in the fashion you mentioned here and ask for people's opinion on it.

I guess as project lead it's my job to make the first one (unless someone wants to do it), which music pieces from 4th Class should I include?

Include those you think are cool for you, heh! <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

Now THAT was a big help... <!-- s:roll: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt=":roll:" title="Rolling Eyes" /><!-- s:roll: --> trying to increase your post count? <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P --> (LOL j/k)

Well, it has to increase somehow, right? <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P --> <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

Sorry if I'm as unhelpful as Firebrand was, <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P --> , but inevitably, the choice of music is up to you. I would probably use either To The East or Places To Go. Another good idea is to make it first, then find the song(s) whose length matches the length of the podcast.
