The Full Circle Podcast on Hacker Public Radio, this episode editing the full circle
|
||
|
|
podcast, Part 1 Preparation.
|
||
|
|
Hello World. And welcome to our show on Hacker Public Radio.
|
||
|
|
We thought we'd bring you some of the material we've recorded over the past year for Full Circle
|
||
|
|
Magazine.
|
||
|
|
I'm Robin Catlin, stand by for a healthy dose of British sarcasm.
|
||
|
|
The Full Circle Podcast is the companion to Full Circle Magazine, the independent magazine
|
||
|
|
for the Ubuntu community. Find us at fullcirclemagazine.org forward slash podcast.

Editing the full circle podcast.
|
||
|
|
Some time ago, we received a request to talk about how we record and edit the full circle
|
||
|
|
podcast. So here it is. Other podcasters may listen to this and say, you've got to be
|
||
|
|
kidding. I'm not. This is my workflow, not yours. It works for me and it's still evolving.
|
||
|
|
If you listen to all episodes, there is, believe it or not, an incremental improvement
|
||
|
|
over time. Some are better than others because I had more time to spend on putting it together.
|
||
|
|
It's podcasting, not blu-ray mastering. Sometimes just good enough is just good enough.
|
||
|
|
Also, I am not an audio file. I create podcasts that sound okay on headphones and crappy desktop
|
||
|
|
speakers. So what if it sounds lousy on your $10,000
|
||
|
|
bang and oft and set up? This is not Andre Previn and the Boston Philharmonic.
|
||
|
|
Part 1 Preparation. We maintain a rolling running order from episode to episode. That's our
|
||
|
|
template for the show. Ed and I prep the list of news items with links in the draft running
|
||
|
|
order shared on Google Docs. Dave ships in extra news items or not when we get to the recording.
|
||
|
|
Ed and Dave usually agree what games they're reviewing in advance and will often alert
|
||
|
|
each other to new releases in between times. We've got a rolling list of opinion topics which
|
||
|
|
we pick from for next time after each episode is recorded. Depending on what guests and or
|
||
|
|
interviews we've got lined up or already in the can in the case of the prerecords,
|
||
|
|
we'll drop an item or two into the running order. I then make sure I've got theme
|
||
|
|
and incidental music picked out drawn from our regular set. I will also sprinkle our
|
||
|
|
bits the delightful Victoria reads out and the trailers throughout the show to separate the
|
||
|
|
segments. I hope this gives us a fairly snappy magazine star format to the show. Dave sends me
|
||
|
|
the text of his game reviews ahead of time so we know what he's going to say. I'm now posting
|
||
|
|
these as attachments podcast on the full circle site so anyone struggling to understand him can
|
||
|
|
read along a Dave so you might be able to understand when he speaks too fast but that doesn't
|
||
|
|
necessarily help to understand his jokes. I'm sorry there's nothing I can do about that.
|
||
|
|
And that's how we prepare the show. Look out for part two recording next time.
|
||
|
|
So that's part one. I hope you found that at least a little bit
|
||
|
|
eliminating the full circle podcast we'll be back soon on Hacker Public Radio. I'm Robin
|
||
|
|
Kattling goodbye for now.
