Rico · August 21, 2011, 11:01:49 AM

The new podcast is now up and available featuring a whole group of us on Skype commenting on the TNG episode, "Timescape." I want to thank Joe, Tim, Rick Moyer, Marko, Ramon, and Bryan for joining me yesterday for this fun time. I'm not sure how much you will learn by listening to us, be we had a lot of fun! Also, Rick Peete gives us a con report from Wizard World in Chicago (thanks Rick). Enjoy the cast.

I'm not saying anything...... :-X

Yeah Skype call dynamic takes some getting used to, initially it's tough to break into the conversation what with lag and all.

Rico · August 21, 2011, 03:21:49 PM

Always just feel free to jump into the conversation or bring up something. If I hear someone with a comment, I try to give them a chance to speak. We're all used to that maybe a bit more. Plus, seven of us is a bit tricky to handle and work out.

Yeah, I'm not exactly a shrinking violet...more of a bull in a china shop...but I tried to refrain as best I could. My career is partially based around being able to talk and communicate and assert influence. It's hard to hold back sometimes. My Dad to this day has to tell me to shut up sometimes.

Listened to the podcast tonight. Sounds like you guys had lots of fun. Wish I could have hung out. Hope to make the anniversary get-together.

I also enjoyed Rick Peete's convention report.

I think it came off pretty well. Definitely going to do this again. Look for another episode to vote on and Skype about in September. Maybe Voyager or DS9.

Bryancd · August 22, 2011, 05:36:32 AM

I thought the episodes audio came through pretty well when we weren't all yammering. :)

billybob476 · August 22, 2011, 05:51:15 AM

Yeah, the audio seemed fine overall. At some points the episode got loud and that mixed with our talking got a bit confused but that's bound to happen. I know when Film Sack does their commentary tracks they don't have any movie audio in the podcast, but I like it hearing what's going on.

Who knows, maybe next time I'll have Trek on Netflix so I don't get out of sync!

Rico · August 22, 2011, 07:13:13 AM

I was adjusting the audio during the whole Skype call. Trying to tweak it and find a balance of our voices vs. the episode audio. It's tricky to do because the added thing was some folks on Skype were also louder than others. I tried to keep the episode low so it wouldn't overlap on our voices too much. It's easier when I do this solo because I obviously know when I'm going to speak and I also try to wait for quiet places in the episode. But overall, I think it worked pretty well.

Feathers · August 22, 2011, 07:14:10 AM

It definitely needs the audio in the mix although I found that I tended to lock onto that and thus missed some of what was being said over the top of it.

Not having been involved in the original recording, I have to say that I found it all got pretty confused at a couple of points
