attempted first podcast this evening; discoveries:
I’ve a very nice microphone (Blue Snowball) that I invested in quite a few months ago, and I’ve been contemplating a podcast for at least a quarter. Done some hardware & software tests, and everything seemed to be “go”.
However, when I plugged in said mic and attempted a recording this evening, I hit a speed bump or three:
- beer, the vital brain lubricant, inhibits speech
– (will attempt drunk-as-a-senator podcast later, for your amusement)
– must desist for tonight, and wait for the valiant efforts of my liver to clear said lubricant from my system.
– will re-record and post first podcast for rocketbomber.com in the morning edit: likely as an ‘audio commentary’ to post along with this weeks charts when I’m hungover but my enunciation is better.
– damn this throws a monkey wrench into my plans. Are you telling me I can post to the internets, still able to form coherent sentences and [possibly] cogent arguments, but unable to articulate these thoughts verbally while under the influence?
[past evidence may have proven this already]
[and, duh.]
[ …but I’ve been drinking, so I’ll claim that as a defence]
[mumble mumble damn speech centers mumble teach them to fail under pressure mumble you want to keep me from posting, you’ll have to do more than just slur, ya bastards, I’ve had more experience posting drunken rambles to the internet than your average bear: hell, 75% of my output to date mumble mumble mumble]
So yes, I can still write (with some skill, setting aside for a moment the long rambling parentheticals above, included for humor value) but podcasting is another animal. I’ll be back in the morning with a croissant, a strong cup (or litre) of coffee and we’ll try this again.
