GlimmerCast Episode 6 - The Live One




Ok so here it is (finally) --our 'live' episode of the glimmercast.

Basically, Dustin and I set up shop outside of the comfort of glimmercast studios (aka my apartment) and took our microphones down into the red room on monday, Dec. 8 and recorded our podcast in front of a crowd.

If you weren't there it might be hard to track with everything that was going on, so I apologize in advance for the craziness of the audio in the episode. In the future when we do live podcasts we will make sure to set up crowd mics to pick up what other people are saying better, along with organizing the format in a stricter way so we don't get a ton of people talking over one another.

Regardless, it was a fun night and we talked about a ton of different stuff to close out the podcasting before break.

Here in the next week or so I'm going to record a small episode to tide everyone over until we all return to Olivet in January.

Enjoy!

EDIT: It seems that for whatever reason the audio completely tanks after about 18 minutes. I went back into the original file and theres something wrong with it that I can't fix. What a bummer.

I think maybe we need to equipment as this is the second time that this has happened now.

Update on LIVE Podcast

Ok so we did the live podcast earlier this week and it went really well. Unfortunately, because of it being the last few days of school and all I haven't even begun working on the audio to post it for people who weren't there to listen to it.

I think I'll give it my attention next week when I am at home, because until then, like many of you I am sure, I'm completely swamped with finals preparation along with trying desperately to see as many friends as possible before a month long isolation.

Just for a little teaser though, I thought I'd let you know what was IN the episode:

Listener feedback makes a return
We clarify our controversial statements from last episode
Dustin and I attempt to eat 12 mcdonalds dollar menu items and fail terribly (the video will be up over break as well)
We flip through the glimmerglass for a minute or two
We discuss the top 50 things you DIDNT know about Barack Obama
Dustin, the audience, and myself sing Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'"
We try to come up with the top 10 most underrated things about Olivet
LIVE better know a major with Information Systems major Ben Fifield
Road salt budget cuts and the deadly implications
Should christmas chapel be required attendance?

and much more than that was discussed spontaneously.

Look for the episode to be up next wednesday or thursday.
