If we can't even agree on how to describe things in our own country, there's no way foreigners are going to get a handle on the language.
It's only regional variations and I'm sure it happens everywhere, but (undoubtedly because we live here) it seems all the more prevalent - those variations are almost an entirely different language in some places with only a relatively small distance between - compare the yokel Yorkshire farmer folk and their dialect with that of a Liverpudlian, and there's, what, a hundred miles between the two? Anyone here travelled enough to see the same sort of thing in other countries?
I just wrote a big long message then lost it because Android is shit.
Short pissed off summary: Why the fuck is Xen having to put so much effort into explaining/convincing Teh how to be Teh?
The podcast is essentially a virtual mini-meat. None of the meats I've attended have been focused on games/films/music, so why the fuck should the podcast?
Talk about what comes natural, with backup topics if everyone becomes mute. If you start getting too long for one episode (but don't want to stop) then just say "continued next episode", then continue straight on, and split it afterward. No further editing required.
I hope to be able to make it on this one. I'll just drink large amounts and get shit faced and that will provide enough material for people to make fun of.
I will also provide gun shot noises and sing a little song.
This will all happen as long as Drew attends.

I somewhat agree, but you have to have some type of outline, or topics, just in case shit turns out terrible and you have silence. I suppose though, it's not live so it can be edited to sound good even if, at the moment, there is no talking.

I can't help wondering what the problem with just cutting together the different 'segments' would be. If the conversation halts, and you're all "um errr what next? *mumble*", just cut that out and make it sound like the conversation around the first topic ended and the next one started. To the listener it should just sound like you decided to talk about something else now; there's no need to have distinct sections, especially since there's no way to jump directly to them etc. Having segments or sections or whatever is a completely arbitrary thing in a continuous sound file.
I don't think the podcast has to be entirely comprised of realtime conversation. Conversation is great, but couldn't it be the buns in the Scoobysnack around fillings of personal rants, individual TWRs, extracts from Felafel the Cat read by Staev, tracks by Ozzgur & other musicians - the sort of stuff that makes Teh, Teh. Conversation could address those other bits of content or just take its own course.

As we're now doing this on Thursday has anybody got any idea how to record with multiple people?
The last cast was ok but clipping all individual tracks back together wasn't always easy.
