Ok, for me personally, I don't care about a sustained tone. I think each segment can be serious or stupid, funny or just interesting or relaxing, on its own terms, and my task is to get them to work together. If we have a serious interview I'll find a way to keep it from being directly bracketed by fart SFX, or whatever. I think the overall tone of the show can be a bit brash and stinky/hateful/insiderish in some places without being disrespectful to our guests


> - what EQUIPMENT shd i buy/use



I ordered an ATR2100 usb mic for $60 and it is more than enough microphone. The more important concern is that you be in a place without ambient noise, so, removed from the street, no ambient noise of fans or electronics. Pick a spot, record something, then go listen to it somewhere else as a quick test (so that the fan noise you block out in real life doesn't cover up the same fan noise appearing on the audio). If you want to do field interviews outdoors, nobody expects the sound quality to be as good, but there are a lot of ~$20 voice recorders that do fine. Again ambient noise is a bigger issue than equipment quality for what we're doing.


> When are you hoping to get this done by?



I'd like to have something ready in 2-3 weeks to be passed around for contributor approval. If I turn out to not be productive, or if people don't like how I'm putting things together, I'll turn over all the audio to someone else with mixing experience and have them take a crack at it.

Assuming that doesn't happen. We have a team of four people including me who are kinda taking the lead on production. This doesn't preclude anyone from submitting, on the contrary, it would be great to have things we can't include now, but would fit in a second episode.

One easy idea is a military news bulletin segment, featuring the brand of Troop News we rely on this BBS to imagineer

if i was to interview people around me for 5, 10 20 minutes and then send it in would that be good?

any guidelines?
would my phone (maybe with one of those headset mics) be good enough quality? should i edit or at least top and tail it?

if the opportunity presents itself i'll record something anyway

What would you be interviewing them about? What group of people would you largely be interviewing, i guess, what are the demographics of your surroundings? I want to avoid the "don't wanna be an american idiot" approach to comedy journalism, unless you're specifically going somewhere that is supposed to have political consciousness and absolutely, totally doesn't (Hamilton intermission)

I really don't know about phone recording technology. A lot of crap quality can be forgiven in the man-on-the-street context. Do a test run and see what's audible. Look up the recording consent laws (one- or two-party) in your state, don't fuck around with this although one of the reasons to stay respectful is that the strangers' consent is wayless of a problem

"At least 70 of both Clinton's and Trump's campaign staff have died, and many more are hospitalized, due to fatal drug interactions following the third presidential debate Wednesday. Staffers have blamed a logistical mistake during event preparations that led to the Clinton camp's powerful amphetamines and the Trump campaign's quick release opiates being mixed together on the same serving dishes" and then a stupidly dramatic blast of news music, then the next one

A little dog ran around today. The dog barked and ran. It made people glad to see the dog run! The dog was excited, and wagged its tail. A boy saw the dog and laughed at the dog. It made the boy happy to see the excited dog, and being happy made the boy laugh. When the dog got tired, it stopped running and sat down. It is unknown if the dog will run around again, but locals remain hopeful. The boy would like a dog of his own if possible, and will take care of it and walk it every day.

I'd be interviewing them on the types of topics you would find in posts here.... Off the top of my head: antifa guy describing state of play here, loads of housing stuff, loads of history, there are a few interesting activists or theorists I could talk to... There's a bunch of things, I'll think more on it

Didnt want to spoil anything but in order to nip that concern in the bud i can reveal i will be competing with hbo vice dailynews head on by hanging out with glenn beck at his ranch. The debates are over now of course so instead i plan to record us watching JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable with subtitles corrected to include the original Stand names.

what podcasts do you listen to

hi, im a new user



Welcome. I too am curious as to what podcasts y'all listen to. I mostly listen to War Nerd and Tom O'Brien. The latter can get pretty boring though with lots of eurocommunism and other academic wankery. Especially that C Derick Varn guy, he can fuck off. There's chapo traphouse too I guess but the smug is hard for me to bear.

Would love to hear a rhizzone podcast. So many posting heroes here, just to hear a couple of you would be a great joy to me.

Party newspapers continue to be the only viable method of spreading news and analysis in a proletarian way, and as revolutionaries and materialists we need to be critical of the media we consume. That is why the only aural media form I consume is Central Peruvian peasant songs recorded from 1980-1992. I hope you reconsider your project swampman, or replace the entire podcast with my curated selection of revolutionary music with each episode dedicated to a different year of Presidente Gonzalo's armed struggle
