Coming Soon: The Gaiscioch Pubcast

Over the course of the next month we will be putting together the framework for the Gaiscioch Pubcast. We will be holding interviews/roundtables on Saturday mornings via Ventrilo and recording these sessions. There will be a forum post for you to pitch ideas about what you'd like to discuss. The 4+ segments will be combined and released in a podcast format. Some topics we'll be frequently focusing on are Raiding, Crafting, PvP, Role Playing, and life as a casual social gamer. In addition we'll be highlighting news from RIFT, GW2 and other industry related stories. If this format takes off and listeners increase we'll consider opening up a video format as well.

This Month's Lineup

Sat April 7th From 10-12PM - Member Interviews about their membership in the Gaiscioch and Tuatha.

Sat April 14 From 10-12PM - RIFT Raider Round Table - Topics: Raiding in Rift, Infernal Dawn, Getting Started

Sat April 21 From 10-12PM - GW2 WvWvW Round Table - Topics: Media Coverage, Thoughts & Perspectives.

Sat April 28 From 10-12PM - The Gaiscioch Round Table - Elders discuss the family structure and branches.


Member Ideas and Shorts:
If you want to have a little mini segment in between our bigger segments feel free to propose them in this post. I'm going to try to talk Aisrine into doing an Irish Phrase of the Month short and I think it would be cool to have some regular mini-segments that range from 1 - 2 minutes. If you've got an idea please pitch it.


Schedule
I plan to have the "Pubcast" launch near the first of each month. I will make it available on iTunes for you that use it and we should have a RSS feed that you can use for any other type of podcasting service. This will be a monthly podcast and I hope to build the team of people working on it.


Show Hosts
Foghladha
Bloodmaw

We will be looking to get more people involved as time allows. Eventually I'd like to have 4 or 5 on air personalities that can join in the discussion. To get started we're going to be using ventrilo's record function for this but eventually I may move us to Google+'s Hangout ability. Felicia Day is having great success with it and I think it may be a neat feature. We could even potentially go video with out pubcast eventually.

If you'd like to be a show host please let me know on the forums or PM me. I'd love to get more people involved.

This sounds fascinating. I don't have a voice for 'radio' or probably the zany, ad lib personality something like this needs, but I have sure heard several awesome voices in vent, and they've usually belonged to the most outgoing members of the family. :) Hope they sign on. I guess I could offer myself up as a guinea pig 'interviewee' for a topic like the importance of 'story' to many gamers, and how investing in the development the Rift story and getting it 'out there' could massively benefit Trion... Something like that, perhaps.

Appreciate the outgoing on your part Astraiel. I'm personally very excited to get this under way. It should be fun, informative and.. well.. FUN! The topic you provided is sound in my mind. Story plays a huge part to any game to a lot of folks. Many can forgo graphics, etc, if the story is sound and inviting.

Added the intro / outro demo's for you to get the idea of how it will sound.

Craythur looks forward to listening to you lads again!

Like the Intro/Outro very much! Now how does one go about recording their voice and getting that to you? Me<----tech noob extraordinaire!

The Intro and Outro sound great! As always, awesome and very professional work, Fog. Thanks for plugging Rising Gael and Marc Gunn's podcast. I've listened to the Rising Gael music on the Outro at least a dozen times and will definitely be catching up on the Celtfather's podcasts. :)

I really like the intro/outro you got. I don't really know if I would be very good at doing anything with the pubcast. I am not very outgoing, which is fairly evident if you have caught me on vent. And I wouldn't really say I have a great voice when it comes to these kinds of things. Although, something makes me really want to contribute so I could try to get past this little... handicap?... I have when it comes to speaking.

Sorry I missed the meeting. Wound up at my parents and messing with my nieces when my sister got there for most of the afternoon. I really like this Pubcast idea and with all the different things we can talk about with gaming and other things this family does, plenty of us can get involved, too. For those wondering how he is recording. I think it's at the times listed and the first four topics are listed there. At least, having missed the meeting but knowing how Fog works over these years, this is my assumption. =D

The interviews have been great so far guys. Thank you to all that have participated thus far, and pre-thanks to those waiting to participate. It is a lot of fun, and we might even have a good list of 'bloopers' :D If you are interested please contact Fog, or myself. I'm pretty much in vent from 3pm cst till midnight, on most days. Hope to see ya there and in the sound booth :D

Really enjoyed chatting it up with Foghladha & Xe this morning, I can't wait to hear how this turns out. =)

I'm rather curious if this actually got off the ground? Maybe I haven't looked hard enough, but wanted to see if you posted up the first few pubcasts yet?

I Still working out some kinks. First episode should land mid may

I wouldnt mind helping in anyway i can

wow nice idea and great job so far

I know that I've only just joined (about 4 hours ago as of this writing), and that this thread is a bit old, but I absolutely adore this, and want to be a part of it any way I can, host or otherwise. In the meantime though, I cant wait to see what you've got in store.

I am anxious to see more of this as well!

Let me also add that I would be willing to help out in anyway. :)

This project is not totally dead were just trying to figure out the logistics of the whole thing.

Yeah whenever you want to do the WvW thing, let me know Ben. We never did get around to it, but my August schedule is fairly empty. We could even do it right after the Elder's meeting (this weekend or next).
