Wetwired Radio Presents: Episode 12, in which our heroes explain about the Lost Podcast, do a quick and dirty review of The Dark Knight, and get interviewed by The Daily Texan for an article on blogging in Austin. All in all, a pleasant outing.

Out.

Update: We’ve had some technical difficulties with this podcast with compatibility of wordpress 2.6 and podpress 8.8.  We are awaiting an update but have managed to get this up with a work around.

We’ll I’ve received my professional grade amateur microphone today via amazon. Bundled it comes with a pop filter but apparently those are on back order. Reason behind picking this up is that I needed a better quality microphone from what I had, and who knows, I might do some more phone voice over stuff like I have done before for other companies.  You know the voice behind the “press one for english” type stuff.  

I now understand why there are so many books and gotcha’s out there about podcasting.  Sure if you’re just doing a single podcast for yourself its not that hard.  But if you want music, jingles, to use skype for a dual podcast - then enter the technical learning curve of quantum physics.  Ok maybe not that bad, but yeah, not easy.  Actually certain things are easier to do on a PC than a Mac when it comes to the podcasting, but the better software in terms of quality/editing seems to be for Mac.  I did come across some stuff made for PC that had additional items - i.e. ability to drop small sound effects and wav files into - I have not found that easy function on a mac yet. 

I’m sure after some more time I’ll know everything there is to know about professional pod casting.  You see, when we do something, we want to make sure we do it well, not half assed.  I’ve listened to a couple other podcasts out there and some are good, but a lot lack that professional radio quality - excluding the ones that actually come from a professional source. 

Here is a picture of the setup, microphone hooked up to the macbook.

This is our first podcast, somewhat of a test, we did this last week but we wanted to test it and have it for you guys to check out.  This podcast talks about Wetwired Radio, PodCasting 3 years too late, Life, Dating, and American Airlines general douchebaggery.  With this first podcast we’ve also dumped out to itunes but it will be some time before the information populates so stay tuned. Welcome to wetwired radio, we hope you enjoy our first test run.
