Greetings out there, I was asked to write a introductory comment in my most tremendous blog used for the undergraduate course known as btmm Radio Practium Ipodcasting. Yippee, I say dear sir. What was asked for will be received. You can look forward to a wide variety of fun audio files to come, please do stay tuned, work of some type of quality should be here in and on time.

OH, it's time to come out with like and dislikes time!

My preferences for Podcastings:

News documentary: Slow and drawn out, These new-age type of kids that can sit and watch tv, listen to the radio, do homework all while surfing the web at the same time baffle me, plus need some medicine. I don't want quick cuts and quick talking, give me some old fogey like paul harvey talking slowly firmly and loud and it will be a happy day. 60 minutes on a story about someone exchanging letters with a south American dictator, 30 minutes on people that are trying to clone a bull, with no techno music involved, sign me up!

Storyline: I want to join your world! I like to sit and feel at home, like I can grab a cup of coffee and sit back and have some new people in the house, but it's home. Little things like references to old podcasts and actually having some type of continuity is always nice.

POST-production!!!: background music besides loud techno beats to sooth transitions and have everything feel whole makes me a very joful camper.


Podcasts that at times scare me:

Podcast Chatting with friends: HI! I appear to be drunk, I'm also in a room with my friends that have a very high likely hood of being drunk and we are sitting around being profane and wohoo. Yes, not sure why this needed to be broadcasted to the world but innane conversations exist for people that have trouble socializing to socialize, not greatest material for the world To each his own though. also please label when your podcasts are for friends, who is this Stephen fellow you keep bringing up in your first episode about how crazy he was at the bbq?.

RADICAL DUDE: Podcasts where the person seems to have had a bit too much coffee and sits there screaming at me the whole time while trying to use hip and cool terms but obviously not normally using them, please my ears can't take it, calm yourself become a normal human and then let's chat. also related to PROFANE THUG, the podcast character that can't seem to say a sentence unless it includes a profanity of some sort.

Commercials for no reason: WHY THANK YOU! every single episode of your podcast has the same commercial sketch three times of the podcast i'm listening to right now, and no other commercials! Do call signs no longer work anymore, is it in case I got amnesia and forget the station, are you hoping people will think hey my commercials could be there and come around?

Hurts my heart music: thank you for the DUM-DUM-DE-DUM-DOOT-DOOT loud blaring noise, please no, let me listen to you instead?

Chances are my podcasts are going to end up all in the podcasts that scare me type, but I can hope!
