Do eeet.

[Xenland]

hehe I think I will tomorrow, I shall gather a list of topics to discuss I'll make it a pod cast out of it... Any radio station names?

[Taz]

Xelander.
Or Bit Coin Air

[cbeast]

Not a bad idea. As long as it is consistently themed towards disruptive and Bitcoin related content. I would keep to a mostly talk format and not so much music. I would think that there is enough content just on this forum to fill a channel 24/7/365. There are a lot of people here I would like to hear converse from time-to-time.

[myrkul]

Do eeet.

Seconded. If you just make a show, instead of a whole station, I'm sure you could get it syndicated by the LRN or the No Agenda Radio guys.

[Xenland]

So this first podcast is going to sound awkward (as i listen back on it) but that might just be my own self conciounessness of listening to my own voice. Any who I was thinking of hosting it on my pipboy3000.com website just to help the future promotion of that domain but any who when its done uploaidng ill link it here and hope for the best.

you should get a shoutcast server (which you can have export to a file and make it a podcast) or set one up and irc channel I tune into that for maybe bitcoin news of the day, or just bitcoin related shows

[Bitcoin Oz]

Bitcoin Talk Live 

[AndrewBUD]

I think that would be a cool thing to do.... it could be mostly music and have a couple daily news things....


Can hear about all the drama instead of reading about it...



IMO: I have the perfect face for radio

Not bad, but the end was rather lacking... an outro would have been nice. Some sort of indication that the show was over.

Re: Bitcoin Radio? Bitcoin news daily?

Why is this in off-topic? We need something exactly like OnlyOneTV: The Bitcoin Show, hosted by anyone other than Bruce Wagner.

(Bitcoin needs a new rock star evangelist and go-to guy for the media who does not also happen to be a convicted conman.)

The Bitcoin Show was, for all its flaws, a decent way to cover recent developments in the Bitcoin world,
and a brilliant way for developers to promote new or upcoming services in detail.

Perhaps BitTalk Media could throw a decent mic and HD webcam at one of their guys?
Do weekly, tightly focused, scripted, unedited half hour fireside video chats with the right people.

Probably one of the better ways to strategically position yourself to be the guy Wired or CNN calls the next time something crazy happens in Bitcoin and they need a couple of statements. I mean, if it worked for Bruce, it could work for... You?  

[Xenland]

Alot of my posts get sent to offtopic i figured i saved my self the trouble, both those are great gestures mates! 
Ill continue this in an agile way and improve a little bit until theres something i find i should be consistant with.

[Xenland]

Looks like analytics says it found 3 unique IP addresses per podcast. Not bad, I shall continue to do this daily -- its kind of fun actually.

Cool music. Quite enjoyable production. This could be good.

I really like the smooth low volume background music while you talk. It gives a pulse and a beat to the podcast.

Make a list of the topics you're going to cover. Announce the list of topics at the start of the podcast.
You announce each topic as you're about to start it. This is good. Keep it up, stick to it like glue.

Next up: "Open Transactions." -> "Allright that was open transactions."
Next up: "Gavin Andresen has a proposal for credits for testing changes to the Bitcoin Client."
Next up: "The London Bitcoin Conference."

Neat, but make this list known at the very start of the episode, preferably before the first musical segment to catch the listeners attention.
Would be good if you announce the name of the artist and the song you're about to play in advance, like, you know, on radio.

Clear your voice in advance, drink a hot cup of tea and warm up your vocal cords, try to avoid coughing in the mic several times every minute.
(When you need to cough, mute the mic, cough, unmute.  Live radio always has a cough button. For good reason.)

You have a really nice smooth voice, but you could be more focused and "less laid back".
Make an effort to sound like what you are saying is important, and it will sound like it is.

Project your voice, think of a radio host, try to speak more like a radio host,
do a quick dry run, warm up mentally. Get in the zone before you go live.

Keep a fixed distance to the mic, lean more towards the mic perhaps.

Perhaps record each session in several segments, if this doesn't mess with the music.
You could cut and paste the segments together, add music in post production.

This way you can do a retake if you stumble or mumble or stop.
--> Less... like... uhms, and uhhhs... and uhh.... small pauses.

Finally, do a recap / outtro / see you next time at the end.

That was pretty much everything, and this is quickly starting to sound too much like actual work so I'll be sure to stop here.

Really promising start. I'm looking forward to the next episode! Yay! Go you!

Joining up with BTCRadio.net to get a website going

[Bitcoin Oz]

Smooth 

[Xenland]

Website might be up this weekend get ready for more streams

[Snapman]

Back from an extended mind trip, ready make some music.

[bbit]

oh hell ya!!!!!!!!

[molecular]

fill it up with more music I like it.

[Snapman]

We will be test streaming the next couple of days, planning a 23/7 radio station with 1 hour dedicated for news updates on a daily basis, still hammering out all the other details.

Testing Icecast instead of shoutcast. AutoDJ for now. Any suggestions on primary genre?

I'm a fan of metal.

[Snapman]

Underground Hip-hop IE: Immortal Technique, Hopsin, Jedi Mind Tricks, ETC
90's Old School Hip Hop IE: wu-tang clan, beastie boys, Dr. Dre, Snoop Lion Formally Snoop Dogg

finally somebody that knows good music
playing some dre right now.

hehe, just heard the beastie boys on your stream: "Professor? What's another word for pirate treasure? Well, I think it's 'booty'".

[Snapman]

I can see it now, countless hours of reorganizing the music & creating playlists... will have to add the irc channel to that list.

Trying to learn this SAM Broadcaster at the same time, so many capabilities... the options are endless.

To continue with the podcast idea, the plan is to save the 1 hour daily news portions of the broadcast into podcasts, keeping them cataloged on the site. This way you can keep upto date without having to be tuned in the exact time we broadcast the news show.

BTW, are there any decent sources for audio files? All p2p networks are more or less dead with fake files, and all the good private trackers i knew closed down.. [we miss you Oink]

Okay I've been away hard at work with a what I think will help the Bitcoin community but before I go blabbing details lets hear some interesting bitcoin topics, PM me some interesting links that people should be updated on or reminded of this will help me tremendously getting another episode going .

Thanks Community!
