Wooot - First Open Source Musician Podcast live-stream episode!
Just want to thank everyone for tuning into the podcast today. I think Dan and I both agree that doing a live
show is much more exciting then a regular episode. The interaction with the IRC room really takes the show to
a whole other level of fun.
Aside from some bandwidth issues and flaky wifi (my sincerest Canadian apologies) the show went off pretty good for a first go at it (lol - listeners may disagree). For me, it was a success because the issues that came up should be solved by sticking a wired connect to my icecast server as well as tweaking bit rate and stereo vs mono etc. We may also setup an additional stream server or stream to a full time hosted icecast server.
That being said there are a few unknowns at this point - like editing the show may be a bit more challenging since we still plan on releasing the show the way we usually do which means dragging in the audio files from each of our ends of the conversation and the listener segments and intro track and song that plays out the episode - it may be more tricky but possibly not, looks like Dan is handling this edit so we shall see how it goes.
Anyways - we will see if we can hammer out a regular time slot people can expect to be able to tune in on. We should be pretty busy with regular OSMP episodes in 2 week intervals and the live streamed music gig in between those episodes.
Catch you later.
Steve
