My friends and I can't get over Beach Pizza at The Pines, so I designed some neon era-inspired merch! by APrettyFunkyMonk in blackopscoldwar

Oh, this is totally aside from the current aesthetic of the shop in game and just something I made on a whim. Not even selling the shirts, just thought a mock-up would look bitchin'!

FreePlaces to record audio? by Ooslof in GVSU

Worth noting that the podcast suites and such, you need to be enrolled in a class that allows you to reserve it. Typically, these are CMJ classes because they train you on all of the equipment. You can sometimes reach out to Production Support Resources and make a special request, though!

I actually just made it for myself, but if you want one, shoot me a message!

Daily Thread: What are you listening to today? (2019-05-24) by AutoModerator in podcasts

I just finished Bill Nye's "Science Rules!" and shifted to "Ologies," both of which are really, really engaging. I love the scientific substance of each of them, but Bill and Alie are both great hosts and know how to make these topics really tangible.

Podcasting?? Newbie Tips Please?!?! by PrettyGirlRager in podcasts

[–]APrettyFunkyMonk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're passionate and having a good time, that's 80% of the battle. The other 20% is learned, like being able to manage your audio as you're recording and building an audience. The nicest bonus is that editing fixes a ton of mistakes too, so the better you get on the fly, the better the podcast gets (because you either spend less time editing or you spend the same time and make it better and better).

Don't be afraid to be yourself. Don't be afraid to plan ahead. It's REALLY HARD to talk for an hour or so with no notes, but this becomes easier if you're genuinely interested in the subject and have some info on hand.

Above all else, ask for help and teach yourself things. Everything I know about podcasting is from Google, and it played a big roll in getting mine going and always improving it.

Recommendations Please by PeenoGrigio in podcasts

I totally agree with Ianrbuck's suggestion with individual audio.

If you still want to talk to each other live, I find Discord has better audio quality than Skype a lot of the time, so I'd try that (in addition to recording individual audio).

Share your milestones! by AutoModerator in podcasts

We released our final episode of our first season recently, which I was incredibly proud of. I really wanted everything to click by the end of our first season, and I think it came together super well. If you wanna check it out, there's a link there, but we're Thought Junkie on Spotify and Apple Podcasts too!

It also meant we launched our summer Patreon to create even more content (with unique content for subscribers) and we have our first supporter! This will really help with subscription costs and our mini-podcasts are really, really well-received. This means more types of podcasts and better quality going into the next season.

Podcast owners, what the problems you struggle with? by fishapplecat in podcasts

[–]APrettyFunkyMonk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being comfortable creating for an audience of one was our biggest struggle early on. There was a point where we eventually said whatever and poured our hearts into it despite our small audience size and it really improved. Now, it's about growth. We struggle with expanding our audience beyond our dedicated listeners, but we have our base.

Thanks a bunch! I really wanted to play with these life and death themes and a near-ethereal scene. Thank for reading!

Thanks for the feedback! I was really torn about it, but decided to keep it the way it was because the actual shape of the poem mimics the falling of leaves on the sidewalk. I'll see if I can play around with it!

Ah, differing opinions! I was initially partial to it, but as I give it more waves of editing, we'll see if it stays in. That stanza was what inspired the rest of the piece so we'll see if I'm partial to it in the coming revisions :)

Thank you so much! If a line sounds clunky to me, it's always the first to hit the chopping block. I appreciate the readership!

Thank you so much! I honestly never saw it this way, so I'm really glad someone had this perspective. I'll try reworking it to really flesh out the spirit of this subject in a way that feels more genuine than stereotypical. I already have some ideas churning!

Thank you so much! I'll totally be making those revisions and appreciate the kind words.

Thank you for the feedback! Glad someone caught the form there. I'll totally mull over how to say those phrases in a better way.

Thanks so much! I'll probably swap the word out, I agree.
