Podcasting with Tom Racine

The Podcasting 101 episode was more of an impromptu show. I was approached by Tom Racine from Tall Tale Radio because he saw potential in this topic to expand upon it. If there is enough interest in this we will bring on other podcasting hosts to get their take on these questions. Joining us will be Byron Wilkins from 1977 the Comic.

AndyCarolan – I may have sorted out the laggyness… by casting a magic anti-lag spell
ImyComic – Woo Andy!
AndyCarolan – actually, maybe not… that took 2 mins to appear :/
ImyComic – haha the opposite of me, Tom’s was my first interview so every question was new-to-me LOL
animafax – tracine can you talk about the kind of research you had to do when interviewing Dave Kellett, where he has his OWN podcast about webcomics?
ImyComic – that last one took abotu a minute to appear for me Andy.. annoying
ImyComic – I will try to stay awake here in Sweden and be a part of that plan!
AndyCarolan – I think its just me Irma, theres the same lag if anyone talks to me in person 😀 ROFL
ImyComic – hahahaha Andy!
AndyCarolan – only difference is that you cant see the blank expression on here 😀
ImyComic – Was it Brian that dragged you kicking and screaming?
ImyComic – ah nevermind you answered that already LOL
ImyComic – <——— Irma
ImyComic – just thought I’d write that every once in a while to remind Kurt of who I am
ImyComic – 😀
tracine – how could we forget you? 🙂
AndyCarolan – <———Laggy Andy
animafax – animafax <—– Joel Duggan (good idea Irma)
ImyComic – I meant so he remembers my name LOL

Wills23 – <—–Talkshoe keeps crashing on Will
tracine – joel duggan in the house!

ImyComic – ha! I was already a redhead once
Wills23 – Go Irma ^_^
ImyComic – I’m over that 😉

AndyCarolan – <— is a brunette with grey flecks
tracine – <—is bald with grey. 🙂
VertigoX – short hair
ImyComic – Hell yeah I want to talk about it! I just get afraid of sounding like I don’t know what I’m doing LOL
VertigoX – Any questions for Tom Racine, Byron or myself about Podcasting? either being interviewed or other stuff?
ImyComic – *bows*
AndyCarolan – I think I would feel the same Irma… but i really arent sure myself if I know what im doing
animafax – Open question: What was the most difficult interview so far?
ImyComic – I just wanted to give TTF/TRR more of a presence
AndyCarolan – heres a question… any tips for interviewees?
ImyComic – both good questions!
animafax – Oh, good one Andy.
VertigoX – Any other questions?
AndyCarolan – you having connection problems Wills23?
VertigoX – thats TalkShoe issues
ImyComic – Did you answer animafax’s question?
animafax – Not yet. I don’t think. Thanks Imy.
ImyComic – it was a good one… I’m curious to the answer to that
animafax – merci
AndyCarolan – thx for answering my Q 🙂
VertigoX – np great question
VertigoX – great one animafax
animafax – Thanks VertigoX
animafax – Tom makes it look so easy (son-of-a) knew there had to be behind the scenes stuff. 😉
rickwall – hi
VertigoX – heya rick
AndyCarolan – Yo Rickwall
rickwall – I’m looking for some one for a project
ImyComic – haha anima!
animafax – 😉 Funny because I’m right eh Imy? 😉
AndyCarolan – I like hearing what people sound like who produce the comics I like. I actually sound a lot like brad pitt of course 😉
ImyComic – yes you are anima!
ImyComic – that’s how I pictured you Andy! 😉
ImyComic – People were surprised to hear that I DON’T have much of a NJ accent
animafax – 40-60min is a good “one sitting” time for podcasts. (my opinion)
rickwall – talkshoe goes over all the time lol
AndyCarolan – I listen to a LOT of podcasts which are over 2hrs long… Usually spread it over 2 nights. They are usually Paranormal podcasts though
animafax – If people are super interesting would it be better to break it up into two 30-40min shows? From your podcasting/time investment point of view?
VertigoX – most of TGT eh Andy 😉
ImyComic – you guys ever go back and listen to your older podcasts to see how you’re shows have evolved?
AndyCarolan – lol
VertigoX – oh god… I did for ep 1…. brutal
ImyComic – have you already talked about that? LOL I’m working on my comic at the same time so I may have missed something LOL
animafax – … yeah, makes sense. I suppose it depends on format of your podcast and the guest.
ImyComic – hahahahaha
animafax – hahahaha
ImyComic – yeah that must have taken AGES
ImyComic – I thought that 2009 review episode was great
rickwall – heres the project the intro and first sceen of projecthttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQEe2fmPsQs
rickwall – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQEe2fmPsQs oppppppps here it is
ImyComic – squeeee HAHAHAHA
AndyCarolan – Ever thought of doing a round-table group chat with a bunch of new comic creators? would be more likely to have more material than with just 1 newbie?
AndyCarolan – rickwall, my bandwidth is being swallowed up at the mo, so i will take a look in a bit 🙂
rickwall – ok ty 🙂
animafax – Yeah Andy. Good idea/question.
VertigoX – Squee-gasm
rickwall – call mike esposito hes cool
AndyCarolan – I think any type of Gasm is a great thing… Squee or otherwise 🙂
