Beyond3D Podcast Public Beta - Episode 2
- Thread starter Arwin
- Start date
Nothing set in stone. One has to be cleared by PR, another should happen halfway September. We're hoping to get Rys on, but he's a busy, mysterious man. 
Once he does get involved though, he'll probably manage to bring in some more people to interview. We'll be pursuing interviews more aggressively ourselves in the very near future though, as we're becoming more comfortable with this podcast thing.
We normalised this podcast by the way, but to -3db ... 0 caused issues with mp3 encoding. One problem is that I have a standing mike and sometimes move away. A headset might actually be better (Max uses a regular wired headset). Max also mentioned I missed a few edits, unfortunately. Will do better next time (already spent a full hour editing this one, another reason why it needs to be shorter ). We also set up a shared document where we store potential topics, so next time it will be easier to just grab a few topics from the pile until we get the length we want, as well as pick topics we can both discuss.

Cut off an hour easy there.
Nope? Oh, I mean yes
Actually, I was going to give you a spot to do so :smile:
Please do. Go ahead and send me the details through PM, if you like. Thanks!
You were already doing great on the levels. Don't obsess over it too much
So you already listened to the show yourself. Good. That's important if you want to progress.Arwin said:Max also mentioned I missed a few edits, unfortunately. Will do better next time (already spent a full hour editing this one, another reason why it needs to be shorter
The show had very interesting content, but you're still mostly just talking, and not so much making a show, i.e. convey your message to the listener effectively and efficiently.
The thing is you sometimes stick to one statement for a long, long time and end up repeating things you've already said. E.g. you spent several minutes to say that the Natal camera uses an infrared sensor to detect body heat at some point near the end. I thought about transcribing the section but I'm too lazy
When you're stuck in those loops, the easiest fix is to have another person move you along, as it can be hard to break away yourself, but having only two people reduces the chances of that happening naturally of course. I suggest that you try to assist each other with the pace, that you both try to keep the show moving, be ready to accelerate your partner when you see a problem with the pace, and also allow it to happen to yourself.
Four people really is the optimum setup.
Anyway, well done you two.
Good luck for the next round.
Message sent. Will check out the ep over this weekend.
Thanks Rolf, yeah. I intend to get less into loops by myself as well, but we definitely don't need to worry too much about interrupting each other at those spots.
Thanks tirminyl, I updated both ops with a new download link. Very likely this will be the preferred download link until Rys steps up.

Holy crap! 3 hours this time?!
No podcast tonight, unfortunately. Shaidarhadan had real life stuff getting in the way, and although I had a backup plan (test game graphics on the wife while she wears a headset and gives impressions) that fell through as both our energy got sapped by my 15 month old son having the flu. So we hope that you'll take the time to finish that 3 hour podcast we put out last week, and look forward to some interviews coming soon. I may also put up some more experimental features during the week, but we'll see.
