[32:29, 7.4MB, MP3] Recorded 2005/09/22
Did we ramble? I guess it might have been me. At least once Herself pointed at the clock, so it must have been me. Plus, we were the only two people on the 'cast, and she's perfect.
We ran a bit long, but I think the show moves along nicely enough. It's just content-packed, that's all!

32:29 End of podcast
As the short durations probably make clear, the listed songs are excerpted very briefly.
Let the second-guessing begin! Did I ramble too much? We recorded too late, clearly. Should I have carried the 007 theme further, throughout the show? It seems pretentious enough as it is, I think. It doesn't sound like I'm laughing at people fleeing from Hurricane Rita, does it? I think it's odd that people are apparently "fleeing" from a spot several hundred miles from the coast, yeah, but...

wooooah. almost 8MB? Careful Now :-).
I have a little catching up to do on these.
Also, what is your, whatever the term, transfer out rate 16,000, 22,000?
Most of mine is talking this time and it was still huge. I want Gypsyman to listen but he's on dial-up - as I'm sure a few others are.

DJRadiohead: Looking forward to your comments, good, bad, or ugly.
Temple: Yeah, we definitely ran longer than usual. I need to maybe cut out one segment to get back closer to the goal of 22 minutes (which we've never hit). Or, I could start editing.
Nah!
The podcast is recorded at 16,000kHz, and encoded at 32kbps mono. I thought about re-encoding it to see if I could get it under 7MB, but I decided to leave this file the same as all the others.

P-Winn: I just took a listen. Your flow with Herself is great, and you really have the pace down. I'm jealous because I can't speak for more than 30 seconds at a time.
5 - Mark Sahm
I meant 30 seconds on a podcast segment.
BTW, I listened to #6 too. Good as well.
6 - Temple Stark
mono?
let me listen.

Mark: Thank you very much! I still need to get that interview with you done, but I want to get the Adam Goldberg interview edited and at least the first part published, so I have a better idea of how to structure our interview. You know what I mean? We'll "get 'er done," as they say here in Texas!
Temple: Keep in mind that the longest musical but I've ever used is 30 seconds, and this episode marks the first time I've ever used music with an actual lyric included in the sample. So mono works for me.
Well, come to think of it, there is a little voice at the very end of each episode that a lot of people might even miss, and that's part of the closing song. But it's a sample, not a "lyric." :-)

Starting it off with contact info and web info made it drag some right from the stop.
"the 75010" hee.
Herself is playing the "blonde" role a little too well early on. ;-) although redeemed (ha ha) by the devil piece. Those songs are what a lot of people hear in most Christian music btw. Classic "he's a rock" music.
90 percent .. so next time you tell a story .... Giggle.
The best moment of the podcast - the end. Um, that is, that groove at the end was great until it ended too abruptly. Hope the Goldberg interview isn't hacked the same way.
Looking forward to that.
This is where my digital audio-recording retardation comes in. I thought if I set it to mono it would only appear in one headphone or speaker.
In fact for some reason part of my podcast I heard in only one ear/ channel. It was a segment where I think I accidentally deleted one of the stereo channels in the track.

Temple -- the groove at the end is actually the end of the song as I ripped it from CD. That song is extremely funky, and the first or second show actually had three different samples from different parts of the same track.
I'm going to *try* to ge the Goldberg interview edited tonight and part of it on the next show. Honest.
Thanks!

Listening now...
Amen on the 90%.
11 - DJRadiohead
OK... just finished.
First... too much of my childhood just flashed back to me. Wow. Massive therapy is needed immediately. Bullfogs and... ARGHH!
I liked this episode. I think it is good to occasionally leave the onlookers' gallery out of it.
I am going to finish my next episode as soon as I stop deleting everything I record and dismissing it as utter crap.
12 - Phillip Winn
DJR -- Thanks for listening! I really earnestly crave this feedback in ways I can't possibly describe. :-)
Hey, I like Bullfrogs and Butterflies, it's Little Marcy that has since been banned from my house. I'm still undecided on Psalty. Now there are some odd memories for me!
Tonight we plan to record an episode with Thaniel and Emily, so it looks like we'll bounce back and forth for a while. It'll probably be short, though, to make room for the Adam Goldberg interview, which I finally managed to carve up into podcast-sized pieces.
Roughly eleven minutes from the middle tonight, with another eleven minutes from the end next week, while the first twelve minutes will probably never see the light of day.
I might put the unedited interview up as a "bonus download" or something, not part of the normal show feed. We'll see.
Anyway, quit deleting stuff! As OBH #006 should demonstrate, the creators of a work are often the worst judges of that work. I feel I can now safely say that I hated that episode and almost deleted it, but released it rather than deal with re-recording. And wouldn't you know it? Some people loved it!
I'm sure it wasn't our best episode, but it wasn't worth deleting. And yours probably aren't either.
