FT Radio - Ressurection?

[copb.phoenix]

We can host it in Norway. We do not have any bullshit stuff like that. >

As Varlen pointed out, that still wouldn't take care of all the liability.  Plus, unless you're volunteering to buy a high-quality hosting account capable of supporting a venture like this, it's a moot point anyway.

Wanted to say it, but it wasn't my place. I'm toying with my MIDI synth right now, but I've pretty much fell to the fact that I'm going to have to suck it up and use glovePIE with my mic if I want to do things quickly (you can always nudge notes later ). At any rate, while I can't cut for fully original tracks with vocals, if you guys want some background noise so that things aren't quiet all the time, throw me a couple ideas and I'll see what can't make it through my synth.

I'm also known to write parodies... but I hate singing. I'll rap happily if anyone ever wants to do a collab.

(Note to self: Get hold of EnriqueTSB and see where things are at; get an instrumental track/bust..)

[Fvzzball]

If we can get it up and running, I would love to take one of the slots if possible. 

One between 10:00 PM - and 2:00 AM Central Time Zone, is preferable. 

EDIT:  I'm a decent singer if you need one

Not trying to sound like a traitor, but has it ever occurred to anyone that there are a lot of forums that will happily help starting podcasters, I mean it looks like you guys have plans, but extra help is always extra good :3

True, but the priority of this project as I understand it is to build something from within this community.  And, we have plenty of people with experience in the logistics of running web radio shows, so I think we have everything covered that could be gained from outside advice, the only issue we have left to work out is content.

Content...I could throw out some ideas here (stereotypical radio segments)

-Shout outs
-Maybe some music
-Current events
-News in the fandom
-Tech news
-Sports news (?)
-Letters from the audience
-Pranks (?)
-Contests
-Polls

Just trying to help.

[copb.phoenix]

The Flying Caboose Show! Was always a personal favorite... It's abou a half hour to an hour's worth of randomness, central to the Earthbound Fandom, and releases (roughly) on a weekly basis. Check the iTunes Podcast listing.

Most of those segments come from similar things on Radio PSI, but ... you never know. It's just something to draw a little inspiration from.

Old episodes of 2 Sense had a Furry News segment. They ended up dropping it 'cause not a lot newsworthy goes on in the fandom. I'm a big fan of Talking Metal, 3 guesses as to the subject of that, but it's pretty funny, actually. They do a pretty good job of making the stars seem like normal people. And Fursonapod's pretty cool, and it's always worth a listen.

-Shout outs
-Maybe some music
-Current events
-News in the fandom
-Tech news
-Sports news (?)
-Letters from the audience
-Pranks (?)
-Contests
-Polls

The shoutouts, the music, the sports news and especially the pranks all seem too random or locally based to have any real value to the show, should it be made (remember, even national-scale sporting events are irrelevant to anyone outside that country - and this would be for people all over the world). Music we've already discussed - without some sort of internationl pardon music would be sparse and composed of songs barely known or recognised and of hugely varying genres and styles and could do more to destroy any potential fanbase than build it up.

Pranks seem pretty random, and I'm gonna guess the FT mission doesn't stand by diminishing someone for the comedic satisfaction of others. Shoutouts would just be to specific, and we'd be shouting out to furs that no one listening would know. Shoutouts on radio shows are usually the responce of someone texting the message in, but they're broadcast live and we already know that we can't do that. Polls is another odd one - how would you work it?

Everything else sounds good to me. Hell, I'd go as far to suggest whoever's being in charge use it as a starting point.

[Figaccdgi]

An FT podcast would be awesome! I'd listen to it!
As for content:
-You could talk about furry news
-Questions from forum members
-Internet happenings
-Discussion of happenings in the forums
-Discussing threads from the forums
-The hosts could discuss what's been happening to them lately
- You could discuss new tech/video game stuff. Or whatever interests the hosts
- You could do top 5's. Like top 5 favorite songs/games/whateva. Those are always cool.

Just throwing out suggestions. 1 or more of these maybe be completely stupid ideas.

[copb.phoenix]

...1 or more of these maybe be completely stupid ideas.

Point the first: There is no "Stupid idea". Just bad execution of said idea. Remember that, and don't be afraid to explore!

Point the second: A lot of those are actually part of The Flying Caboose Show!, so, you see, we had the same train of thought.

I'd love to take part, but I'd probably start an argument or something again.

Why would you do something like that?

[Chopin]

Why would you do something like that?

If there's a debate segment or something, I could see that being useful, but if not, then, like Natasha said, why?

Eh, nevermind. Last time I tried to be part of this I had an argument with Xalex, which pretty much killed the idea...

Well, Xalex is no longer affiliated with this site or this project.

I was using that as an example, but anyway...

If you guys need another hand, I'm in.

[Moonie]

I say the same! If you need a hand I'd be more than happy to help!

News from norwegia! <.<

[lucien]

If people are still interested in doing this, I'll be willing to take part in.. some way xD Whatever's needed.

[ProfessionalDreamer]

Same here too I've done some work in the media arts before, and if you guys have any extra slots, I'd be willing to help out.

[a ghost]

I've skipped from Varlens uber long post to this, so sorry if I missed anything major.
People say I have a very interesting voice and a great personality, so I'd love to try out being a talk show host. I've always wanted to dabble in that sort of stuff, and it might even help me get some practice in voice acting and whatnot.
I'm extremely interested in this, so if you all decide to go through with it, please let me know.
