Beyond3D Podcast

Very few of the podcasts I listen to have video, and those that do I tend to just listen to without watching anyway. I find it a lot easier to fit audio only into my life.

Even if there are diagrams or tables referenced in the podcast, it's easy enough to link to them beside the download / play button with appropriate time stamps. If it's just a case of watching people sat speaking I really don't think the added overhead is worth it.

 

If true, your sparse red facial hair is worth a couple of views per visitor lol.

 

Would it be worth spending an episode for introductions & backgrounds? (Not that I'm terribly interesting, and I'm not being humble here.)

I think maybe it'd be good to have at least 3 people in the discussion though. Two people is... kind of just a discussion between two people.

 

Most podcasts I listen to provide minor 1-2 sentence backgrounds per caster. But I suppose if you're going to be on it all the time, I think 1 paragraph should be good enough.

 

AI for president! I want to see you.

+1 for video

 

You sure about that?

 

Just got back from holiday, which was really awesome and nearly tech free. Basically we lived in a real life simulation of the Iron Age for a week, which was really wonderful. A lot like living in The Witcher 3's starting area really, without the monsters, soldiers or magic.

Anyway, yes weekends would probably work best. I was listening to a programming podcast (Coding Blocks, also three guys) before we went, which was pretty cool and could perhaps overlap in terms of setup.

For the technical part we could just plan a test run where we chat away about some stuff and record that one or two ways and see how it works out.

 

Oh yeah??

Meh.

*stares back longingly at monitor*

 

Just a one off suggestion based upon recent observations, but this whole "game analysis" thing seems to be trending and more individuals are taking a shot at attempting to do what DF does. I'm not sure if this is something you guys want to try to tackle in your own way? Or as a just discussion topic?
I think B3D could provide some leadership in this area over single entities attempting to emulate DF attempting to announce a "winner", perhaps what could be discussed is purely technology

 

"Yay!"

BTW, I believe this is my first message here
Podcast is a great way to absorb content while commuting.

 

Maybe a podcast with with video extra supplemental video to go along with it? It could be some kind of visual that might help explain a concept that's being discussed, or just some semi-relevant gameplay footage( ). I also think the guest/interview idea is a very good one. I always liked digital foundry's interviews, so something like that but with even more detail would be great.
