We're totally stoked to be able to announce this brand new program for Sarcastic Gamer Community members.

This new program essentially gives everyone in the community a vehicle to share their ideas with the world, through podcasting. You don't have to worry about feeds and links and iTunes. You don't have to worry about file hosting and bandwidth.

Just make your show, whatever it is, and we will help you find an audience through the official community podcast feed.

Thank you for your patience as we grow this program, We have been working towards it for some time now, and it's nice to finally be able to announce it.

Whoah....this sounds SWEET! How does it work, though? You record the show yourself and they host it on the site for you, I think.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! i'm excited to hear some good stuff, any chance of itunes downloads? probably not but what about the really good ones???

Okay, that makes sense. I don't know if I'll have time to do this AND my other podcast. A few questions:

We'll probably have to do ALL the editing ourselves (i.e. what dave does for the 3 *official* shows), huh? Totally understandable.

Is it limited to a single person per "show"? Like, could I have a non-member friend host with me?

This could be very cool. Now to assemble a super team!
@Ploogle: Keep it in the family - All cast members will need to be registered members of the Sarcastic Gamer community (these forums) and be in good standing. By good standing I mean they've been here a bit and have at least a few dozen posts under their belt.

shouldn't be too long before a few dozen posts, 144 should suffice ;)

Two Questions though,

1.) What software does Dave use to edit?
2.) What software do you guys use to record the show?

THis "Friend". Are you the only one who can hear and see him? If so he might not be an ideal podcast host.

Let's be serious Ploogle... Why wouldn't your friend already bee an SG? Stop toying with us.

The entire Blu show uses Audacity... It's free (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) (and multi-platform!)

Expensive and uber picky about the computers it runs on.

Also takes months to learn.

Other than that.... it's great...

What exactly do you mean "record each person locally"
Do you mean to get in some chat program where we can hear each other but not record, and record ourselves?

DownWithKotaku
08-25-2008, 10:40 PM
This is an epic opportunity for both parts of Sarcastic Gamer. The community is allowed to show their talents through Sarcastic Gamer, and Sarcastic Gamer gets more publicity and members w/o spreading itself too thin. Whoever had the idea gets brownie points.
A good idea would be to build podcasts through your Social Groups, because that gives a topic people can relate to (ie achievements, specific games, Nintendo, Retro). I'm giddy with excitement and I'll join/start as soon as the workload is adjusted. (and I post more.)

Meaning each person ONLY records their own audio... when they play back their audio, they only hear themselves, not everyone together.

If you can do that, sure. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, the Blu show uses regular phones to talk and computers to record.

if i understand correctly

I don't see why not. They're just hosting your podcast under the "brand" (that's kinda what it is now, isn't it?) on the site if you (all in the podcast) meet the conditions described.

We don't approve/disprove podcasts. As long as there's not cussing or inappropriate sex talk and you follow the rules, then it gets posted. We don't play favorites, but beware, the community will judge you, just as the community judges our show.
