In another thread guy's are talking about listening to the radio in their car late at night. I listen to either podcasts or comedy CDs. Was thinking how cool it would be to listen to you guys fire off back and forth at each other while I try to stay awake. Can't a few of you computer geeks put your enormous brains together and get an audiobook like version of S2. Would love to hear some of your D&D voices trying to break down our perimeter defense! Get it done nerds! Sent from my Baller-Ass 5.5" iPhone 6+......... FAMS
Wasn't there a podcast that a few people in here did last year? I remember listening but can't remember if it was just a audio stream or if they did it in a podcast form.
There was a live stream going on, with some pre-recorded segments, and posted as a podcast afterward. And yeah, I'm game.
HCP is probably the best suited for this nerdly pursuit. He at least sees all the good gear while he's delivering coffee to the guys doing the real work. Seriously, though, who here is skilled at audio production? How does it fit into S2, which is a message board?
Basically you need an S2 podcast that links here and a few guys that run it with call in conversations or topics gleaned from the msg board. Something along the lines of the Starters at NBA.com. In the past, podcasts linked to the Blazer website were not really done well. Courtside is probably the best now except for the ridiculous gaps in the program that keep you in limbo for half the program length
I'm having trouble visualizing it. If you put a link to a live stream in an opening post, what happens when people scroll down or go on to page 2 of the thread? It makes more sense to me to record the whole thing and then stream the recording in an opening post. Then people can listen to it and comment accordingly. Or people can listen live and not post. Courtside live has a live chat during the program, but not before and after.
I think you have a point about the live chat part of it. The Starters when they worked at the Score had live msgs to respond to during the podcast but after the broadcast were limited to comments which they really answered daily. Tas Melas and JD Skeets started in their basement and in my opinion changed the whole culture of NBA podcasting. Their has to be a handful of knowledgeable Blazer fans who could pull of the same thing with out much trouble.
I've talked about this with SPD a few times already. Maybe what makes sense is for us to gather questions in threads for that purpose. Then go through them in the podcast. So the site is driving the content of the podcast. People would have a vested interest in listening because it's their questions. And they can respond to the responses, so to speak.
The key to a successful podcast to me is acquiring the talent and not just letting any beat writer or journalist host the show. Needs humor and podcasters with above average knowledge of the game. I have followed the previous podcasts and sadly been deeply disappointed with the formats they've used. The Starters have a 4 man team with two guys hosting, a guy monitoring the twitter, email threads and a fact checker. It works.
Man I wish I had the time... I've put together some good podcasts in my time, and used to do a sports podcast with a good friend of mine from the east coast. But ever since the kid came along, I've been swamped.
That would work if you could stream that sites content on this site. Great find Denny! Kurt Thomas and Jeff Van Gundy have a podcast there I see.
The guys did a few of those podcasts last year. I joined them once and had a blast! Sent from my Baller-Ass 5.5" iPhone 6+......... FAMS
That was really fun. I think it could work on here with some tweaks, and some creative thinking to get people involved in not only the board but social media as well, with maybe some help from the Blazers. And also a set schedule... that's key, too! It'd take some doing, but I know it can be done... partnering that up with the Rippys could really bring some good exposure to S2 with those who like to have their Blazer news come from peers.
With the perfect face for radio, you can mutter while you work, if your mike can filter out the mowing sound. But for all-day listening pleasure, I'd prefer Denny's long cut-and-pastes about taxes.
They're just guests on a New Yorker's show. I'm listening and getting nothing out of it. Just Knick reminiscing. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thekni...mas-and-jeff-van-gundy-joined-anthony-donahue
I didn't listen to it yet but now that you mention it, it's about the Knicks and I can imagine Thomas asking Van Gundy what it felt like to have Alonzo Mourning literally mop the floor with him dangling from his leg
