Also, shame I missed out, busy all weekend!

1. That image is hideous
2. That into music is hideous

<listens to the rest>

If you want me on ep. 2 to talk about how that image and that music are hideous, I'd be glad to.

~10 minutes in you 'welcome' me 'back'.

I hadn't been anywhere. Also more music. Wtf.

Aww you mentioned me <3

For future episodes I am banning the following things:

1. That image
2. Music
3. Talking about hosepipe bans
4. Talking about your jobs
5. Talking in clichés

But yeah, I'm glad you did this. Someone needed to get the ball rolling and I'm glad you've done so. It's a bit ropey and nervous and meandery, being a first episode, but that's to be expected.

I do hope it continues.

Argh, I genuinely can't stand to hear my own voice for very long. :-@

 

Hurray that it's finally happened though! It was at least quite fun to make even if I can't listen to it.

I'm enjoying it despite cruel ageist remarks.

You love it really.

:-)

Can't listen while at work, but I shall listen when I get home this evening!

Thanks for listening to it and giving the feedback, happy for anybody to jump on as hosts so we'd love to have you on future episodes.

(nod)

But yeah, I posted that before getting to Oscar's bit, which was interesting.

I think a problem in general was that you were kinda listing things. Anecdotes about work are good (if they're good anecdotes) but it was a bit 'I do this and this and this'. Same with the games and films sections (I skipped the music one cos I'd genuinely rather house sea urchins in my nutsack than hear people talk about music) - was a bit 'I've watched/played x, y and z' without much broader discussion and criticism and stuff.

But... I'm nitpicking. Like I do. It was a good first effort and you were all lucid and articulate and surprisingly un-nervous-sounding for a first go.

You make a good host, too.

So thank you, do more!

I'm enjoying this more than I thought - it's kind of like listening in to a mini-meet :D

 

I too played LA Noire when it first ever came out. Loved the concept, but got about 3/4s through and realised I was bored with it.

:D This is really good.

You're just jealous because you wouldn't be able to talk about your own job.

Definitely need to find some way of recording it all together, rather than trying to sync up three separate tracks. It almost works, but they're just far enough out to sound weird.

 

Also, I need to move the microphone further away from my face when I'm lighting up.

I listened to about 10 mins of it but I struggled. It might be because I rarely listen to podcasts, I will finish it eventually.

You also need to stop breathing!!!

 

Well stop breathing so loudly!

 

I spent 2hours creating silence on your audio tracks, one to stop your heavy breathing and two to get rid of the echo.

 

Ŵill post a how we did it post later so people can help us improve the process.

 

Cheers for the feedback everybody we appreciate it .

It's quite good, but too formal.

 

Also, it's shorter than the install time for AutoCAD 2012 on my laptop :S

(giggle)

It's as good as the Guardian and Engadget podcasts I listen to every now and again, which are a bit of a small yard stick but really good for a first stab.

 

You all done a splendid job. It works best when it falls into a conversation. The more that can happen naturally, the less editing and the better it will turn out I think. And Fozza did a great job of steering things.
