A Great Plague in Norrath
Ξ May 19th, 2008 | → | ∇ Podcast |
Well it’s been awhile since I have posted my progress. I am close to having the first show up and running shortly. I had a little bit of a set back this week. I seem to have caught a very nasty common cold from my son which stole my voice so I had to stop working on the show. I am 2/3 of the way thru the content of show #1. The reason this is taking so long is due to the fact that I am taking my time. I am in no rush to produce the show. I only made a goal I felt that was reasonable to obtain which was June. I also have been planning several shows at once and rerecording segments of the show for various reasons. After all I want a solid show #1.
I am starting to pull things together and the recording sessions are getting easier. I am finding it quite hard to keep the length of the show around 1 hour in length. Even when I am trying not to dive to deep into the subject matter it seems I am under estimating how much content is there to be discussed. I think show #1 will be about 90 minutes.
I was talking about the Podcast with a Tipa over at West Karana and we were discussing some of the topics I choose to cast on in the early going of the show. One of the zones I wanted to cast about is Antonica. She thought that was an unusually choice since everyone knows that Timorous Deep is by far the best starting zone in EQ2. Yes I know this to be true but if I do a show right out of the gate on the best zone for newbie’s then when I did get around to Antonica it would seem so dull. I wanted to talk about topics that I was solid with to help me become more comfortable with podcasting in general. Then once I was more comfortable with the casting I can move onto more glamorous and complex topics down the road. Not all is lost by discussing the old zones since there is a bit of nostalgic value to the show on Antonica. Plus I hope to discuss or touch on points that may not be common knowledge such as the new Quest line that was put into place back in GU43 called the Gnoll Investigation Series of quests. Over 17 quest were added to the old zone.
Well I may have the show ready before June 1st however I need to run some tests on the RSS feeds and a few things so June 1st may still be the date I stick too.
