Title: The Ready Room One Year Anniversary
Post by: Geekyfanboy on December 15, 2008, 05:20:53 PM
On January 28th, 2009 The Ready Room Mircocast will be One Year Old..

Jen and I would like to do something special for this podcast. We were thinking of doing a Skype
Anniversary party, for all our RPG'rs and Fans of the RPG.

Will have a few contests (with prizes) and will hand out awards to our rpg writers ( ex. most improved, favorite readings.. etc...) And of course will talk about our previous eight seasons and what we have planned for Season Nine.

If you wish to send us a congratulations or comments for our 1 year anniversary show please send mp3 to thereadyroompodcast@gmail.com

We would like to have as many people as we can participate so please let me know which date works best for you.

Jan. Sat. 10 or Sun. 11
Jan. Sat. 17 or Sun. 18
Jan. Sat. 24 or Sun. 25

As for time we have been fairly lucky with 10am (PST) 12pm (Central) 1pm (EST) and around 5/6pm in England (I don't know the exact time difference)

Jen and I would like to thank you all for making the RPG such a special part of the Treks in Sci Fi experience.

I don't know my exact schedule, I'll be back in college by that time, but I'm pretty sure as long as it's on a weekend I'll be able to be on. So the 24th is my vote.

There's even a chance I could pop by for some of that time, if anyone will have me :)

I'm not sure I've got the audio gear for the job though. I generally just shout at the inbuilt laptop mic for Skype but that probably won't cut it here. I'll see what I can do!

If you don't think the laptop mic will do it then a  cheap 10 dollar (or 10 pound!) headset mic would do it I think.

Probably true. The other option may be Fring or similar on one of my phones.

We've used laptop mics before.. as long as you can talk to us were happy.

If i'm at my folks i'll use their laptop which means switching of their inbuilt web cam and using my own skype headset. Its a basic bit of kit but i tell you what i've used it for the ready room, the audio drama, interviews and at themomemnt the early editions of waffle on.

I'll be at work, but I will attempt to be there by bringing my laptop. I'll also try to leave early so that I can actually do it at home.

Very excited for tomorrow. Can't wait to be on the show.

Just a reminder for all those who are participating in the Skype call tomorrow. Please use headphones to listen to the call. Using speakers will cause a feedback through the mic and sounds really terrible.

thanks,
Kenny
