Is there an easier way to get consistent audio levels? I use audacity for something I record with my son, and I have to manually go through and amplify whenever he's speaking with because his volume isn't consistent and he's not always aimed at the mic. I've tried using normalization as well as one of the other tools there that's supposed to make volumes more consistent but that often seems to have little to no effect. I can get the same peak level but the problem is large swathes of track are too quiet.

While it's obviously very focused, I'm enjoying the British History Podcast, which turns out to have been a vastly deeper dive than I had expected going in.

If you're as sick as I am of Blue Apron paying every other podcast under the sun to try and convince people to drop $60 a week on three meals you still have to cook yourself then you'll get some delicious schadenfreude finding out what a lovely company it is both for its workers and for its health and safety violations. For bonus fun the comments are full of Silicon Valley true believers calling the employees lazy whiners and saying that the author is just a pleb who can't understand how startups and disruption work.mrfart posted:You think he wrote a crappy novel himself and pretends his dad write it? That or his dad did write it but is in on the joke and the podcast is just a way of promoting it to the irony crowd while also getting a sponsored podcast deal out of it. It took like two episodes to go from "OMG this is so terrible you guys" to "wow, I'm actually starting to care about what happens next! You should totally buy the book on Amazon and follow along with us."

it's weird and unexpected that the guys who claim to be able to ship salmon across the country for ten dollars weren't handling health and safety well. also holy poo poo quote:All told, interviews with 14 former employees describe a chaotic, stressful environment where employees work long days for wages starting at $12 an hour bagging cilantro or assembling boxes in a warehouse kept at a temperature below 40 degrees. They run their warehouses like a meth lab

I need a podcast I can listen to with my 9 year old daughter. Our go to was Adventure Zone, but we're caught up two times over. She's pretty keen on the D&D content, and I'd be okay with another one like it. I don't care about swearing, but a bit less keen on her hearing people talk about eating cum, etc. She's also weirdly into Lore, but we're also almost caught up there. The only other podcast she kinda liked was Best Show, but it's a bit too long and rambling to hold her attention for long.

I know I've asked several times about podcasts in French and I finally got a tip to heads towards radio France (this seems obvious in retrospect). They've a slew of podcasts ranging all sorts of subjects in French. Obviously there's a bunch on politics, but surprisingly to me a very well developed music based section. I'm going to listen to a few and report back (particularly on ones on politics, language, and history), though I've no idea if anyone was looking for these things but myself.

France musique owns if you want to know what's happening in jazz, contemporary classical, and even electronic music. Open Jazz, Les lundis de la contemporaine, Electrain de nuit, La tribune des critiques de disques, are good shows worth checking out.

Hey fellas, I really don't know what forum to ask this in...perhaps ask/tell might be a better choice, but I'll give it a shot here. My girlfriend and I are making a podcast in which we do a lot of character voicework. It's going okay -- neither of us are trained as voice actors, and also neither of us have any experience with audio recording. But for what we're doing, my trial-and-error Audacity autodidactitude is getting us by. But our first "season" is coming to a close -- it's really kind of a proof of concept and I'm pleased with how it's turned out. But next season, I want to make it not just better, but good. I will be getting other people to lend their voices and I'll be doing all the editing. The problem though is that teaching myself Audacity only goes so far, and trying to find tutorials for what I'm trying to accomplish is hard. There are a SLEW of YouTube tutorials that are hilariously the worst things I've ever seen. There are SO MANY Audacity tutorials that are recorded by twelve year old kids using their XBox microphone or something and it sounds horrible and looks horrible and I don't understand what bastion of ironic tutorials I've found -- but anyway...does anyone know of a good source that can teach me about methods in which I can record a variety of voices in a variety of conditions? For instance, if I want a person to yell, how can I produce this? Obviously, if I'm close to the microphone, it gets garbled, but farther away it just sounds like someone far away is yelling. This is the kind of issue I think is probably one of the simplest things to know about, but I can't find a reliable tutorial about it. I'm not at all educated in sound engineering, but I'm willing to learn some technical aspects if I need to. I don't need a Baby's First Podcast kind of walkthrough, but something accessible would be nice. Most of the time, when I think I'm on the right track, the guides I'm reading just veer into how to record bands. Which might be useful, they're not without some merit and maybe I can gleam some of that data for use in my own project, but it's really not what I'm looking for.

I've been unable to download any episodes off the Duckfeed.tv network. Something about an SSL Handshake aborting, I/O error during system call, and connection reset by peer. Any idea what's causing this? I'm on Podcast Addict if anyone has suggestions for an app that doesn't have this issue.

That's probably the case. I checked the RSS feed url and it connects to the Duckfeed site so it's not a mismatch. I tried out a different app as well and it didn't help. I'm on a galaxy s3 if that helps.

I am looking for a iOS podcast manager that will do what beyond pod did for me on android. Main 2 things I am looking for are being able to hand make playlists, and do download specific episodes I want. There are pods like 99% Invisible that I am like 120 behind and throw one in every other podcast. Playlists make this way easier.

I would rather have playlists like normal music playlists where you just add podcast episodes instead of music tracks. Maybe I just don't get how it works. Same with Spotify btw. I don't get why you're not allowed to add podcasts to a normal playlist.

okay so I ctrl+F'd on a sample of like six of these pages so I feel okay asking for probably the millionth time: I just got done devouring The Black Tapes and Tanis over the last month, after hearing they were similar to Limetown and Night Vale- is there anything else out there of quality that hits those notes? Funny people telling creepy stories through a very realistic medium?

So I listened to a bunch of Pop Culture Happy Hour but I think I listened to to much of it at once and I'm kind of over it now so I don't know if I'll listen to it regularly. It did turn me on to Code Switch which I'm really enjoying though.

I think it used to be set in the "nitpicky details" settings section tho so that's why it disappeared for you.
