The Hinton and Mozart Show A friend and I started a comedy podcast sometime ago. Although we are currently on a bit of a hiatus I've included a list of suggested episodes. http://www.fuckthedeaf.com I try to keep the audio quality consistently high and we occasionally bring in guests. Here's a few episode suggestions for starters: Episode 2: http://hmshow.podbean.com/2009/04/21/the-hinton-and-mozart-show-episode-2-a-day-late-and-a-mozart-short/ Episode 5: http://hmshow.podbean.com/2009/04/27/the-hinton-and-mozart-show-427/ Episode 13: http://hmshow.podbean.com/2009/07/02/the-hinton-and-mozart-show-628/ Episode 19: http://hmshow.podbean.com/2009/07/02/the-hinton-and-mozart-show-628/ Episode 35: http://hmshow.podbean.com/2010/03/31/hinton-and-mozart-show-33110/ Episode 43: http://hmshow.podbean.com/2010/05/26/the-hinton-and-mozart-show-526/ If you enjoy it, our RSS feed is http://hmshow.podbean.com/feed/ We usually run 1-2 hours and cover current events, movies, games, music and good bit of ranting. Also if you check around the site we've tossed in some video and written features. Sometime this week I'll make a page on the gooncasts wiki.

Thanks again Kushgroove, for everything! I updated my page on the wiki, though i still have some work to do. Did you ever record any pop free promos? I was sick sunday, my usual podcast day, and am doing this weeks episode tomorrow instead and I want to run a promo! Also, to Lou, I plan on recording a custom promo for your cast tomorrow as well. If anyone wants to use the one I recorded before and don't want to use the sing songy part at the end, I think it works just fine if you cut it off right before then. If anyone wants me to record a custom one, I'll be happy to and if anyone wants to exchange, let me know. I want to run a different one every week from here on out.

Yeah, all the newest posts I look at whenever I've been there have been spam...it's a big problem with any popular forum and I don't think their forum software is any good. I signed up for extra Googleness, plus shows like Kieth and the Girl try to plug for reviews on there...we haven't gotten any I think. RE: promos, if the loudness/popping/quality is a problem I'll try to get some new (similar) promos recorded, and I'm happy to do any customized promos for anyone posting here. Capm, I tried to PM you but you've blocked PMs, so drop me an email or something at frank.digitalporridge@gmail.com

I'll send you an email. I haven't actually sat down with your promos in an editor to see if I can do something with the popping but if you are going to record new ones anyway, I figured I'd wait. I'm mostly fine with "generic" promos just in that something like a commercial will fit in pretty well in my show. If anyone wants to record a customized one, I'd be happy to run it. EDIT: I have rated/reviewed your show. I think you need 7 to 10 ratings to get that average so you've got to be close! Woffle fucked around with this message at 16:13 on Mar 4, 2011 |

I'm having a hard time hearing what some of the guys are saying. It could be my ears but it sounds like at least one of the guys is across the room from the mic which makes me raise the volume to hear what he's saying only to get blown out by the people closest to the mic. In contrast I went to gently caress the Deaf after yours and it was SUPER LOUD. Like turn it all the way down to make it listenable. King Lou fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Mar 4, 2011 |

When inserting clips of pop songs and the like that we review I noticed the music was 2-3 times as loud as he show so I boost all of our audio in post to music industry "just a hair below max" levels. Also I edited the original post since I didn't include it, we're The Hinton and Mozart Show, hmshow.com was was taken so we went with gently caress the deaf for the web address since its just offensive enough to be easily remembered.

^^^^^ Seriously, you might want to bring the max volume down a bit because I literally had it almost all the way down from being all the way before. Thats really loud! Hey podcasters or people looking to podcast. I guess this is up in the slickdeals forum but Amazon is selling the Blue Snowball USB mic, which I use to do a lot of recording for super cheap today.  Its normally $99 and its like $65 or maybe less. I think the deal is only good on the Black one now but whatever. If you're thinking about buying a really decent podcasting mic I highly recommend it. I've actually done commercial VO work with mine. King Lou fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Mar 4, 2011 |

Hey folks just wanted to let you guys know we're doing a live show tonight starting at 9M CT (music should start around 8:45). It's different than the prerecorded stuff we normally do, but hopefully you'll find it entertaining! Look for the Spankwagon Live link on the front page! EDIT: Twas a good show, even with the technical difficulties that decided to show up tonight that hadn't in our practice runs. ReverendHammer fucked around with this message at 09:29 on Mar 5, 2011 |

I am updating my demo professionally for a couple of reasons. I could do it myself but I want it done right. I'm also being helped by a talent agent who is going to coach me through the session. The problem with doing it yourself is that you don't have any feedback. Things you may think were fine may not be. Trust me on that. I am often surprised that what I think is good is way off. This guy is an agent for huge clients so he knows what he's talking about. Then the studio is just going to be a better place to record than my apartment. I have friends who do audio professionally for commercials but from my experience asking them to help is just torture for everyone involved. They don't really want to be there, they don't really care about which take is best, etc. I use ProTools or Audacity depending on the situation. Audacity is pretty amazing but its lacking some features I like.

While I'm waiting on music for my next main episode, I made a four-minute short to see what could be done in such a short time. http://thiscdnlife.blogspot.com/2011/03/shorts-stony-plain.html Once I get onto a regular schedule for my show, I'll be more than happy to start swapping promos. But because of school and work I release episodes so irregularly right now. I don't want to get my promos heard all the time but only pitch in once a month.

Though it's obviously influenced by This American Life/Radiolab, I think there is room for amateur podcasts of that sort. Rated/reviewed.

reflex and The Capm - just listened to both of your last shows (your last 2 shows Capm) reflex - I liked yours a lot. The street sounds are kind of loud but maybe the stark contrast is what you were going for? The interview sounded a lot like what I hear on NPR shows and TAL like Capm said. Capm - like the email I sent you, I liked the thing with the cat and where that went  Thanks for doing the promo, now that we have some decent enough ideas on where to start for our promos we'll re-record them with our new, better mic and hopefully with no popping I told Mat (my podcast partner) about him nearly swallowing the mic and we addressed that in our latest episode :P If anyone who commented on that is a regular listener...well I hope you enjoy the solution to the problem!

I've always wondered if that would work. In other news, I am officially fed up with dreamhost loving up my poo poo. Loureads has been up and down and people are still getting partially downloaded media or terminated downloads (which is a new one for me.) Since I asked people to let me know I've gotten a bunch of reports of it happening. Sigh... So, Lisbyn doesnt support wordpress so I'm looking at Blubrry or maybe something else. I was talking to the guy from The F Plus and he said he gets 5k downloads a week! WHAAAAA! Thats crazy...

Oh man, I haven't checked this thread in awhile. krushgroove, to address your problem from almost a month ago, I've always had a hard time direct-downloading Stuff Weekly/TWIA as well. This is normally alleviated if I paste the URL into a downloading client, like BitComet or something. Hopefully that works and if any of you guys have actually listened to our stuff, I'd love some feedback. I think I'll take some time this week and listen to you guys' podcasts as well. Additionally, I joined the Gooncasts wiki, but can't create a new page. Zuh?

That sucks Lou, hopefully you find a decent host (don't use GoDaddy, we just moved from them). I don't know much about Blubrry but I have their Powerpress plug-in on my Wordpress install and it seems to be pretty good. Really good, actually. They do hosting and all sorts of things as well, you probably know that already. I think it's $15 a month.Matt Cruea posted:

This would be used on the wiki site of course, and for a future SA ad (one of the ones at the bottom of the forum pages). So far there's 3 or 4 folks who've offered to chip in for an ad ($30 for a month, rotating with all the other ones).

I'm assuming you mean amongst the goons? Not that I'm aware of. I don't think there are that many daily podcasts anyway, when compared to the number of weekly shows (I've never tried to count either one though) - it takes some commitment to listen to every one, and I don't listen to every single show of my subscriptions that are daily (Kieth and the Girl, KROQ's Kevin & Bean, Adam Carolla, etc.). These are all 1 hour +, and I just don't have the time to listen to every episode of every show, so I get to maybe one per week.

I listened to episode 12 and 13 and I was really blown away when you transitioned from talking to putting it to a song. I think that concept is really cool and I hope you continue to pursue that. That is single-handedly my favorite part of the podcast. (I don't know how open you are to constructive criticism, so I'll put it in spoilers) However, your comedy is very hit and miss. You had me chuckling out loud when you were talking about religious folks wanking it to procreation, but the rest of it kind of fell flat to me. The one thing I'm scared about is that there's no feedback when you're one guy throwing comedy out to the internet. There's no real feedback and I assume your friends are like mine and go "yeah it was great." You should look into going to some comedy open mics. They're not as scary as they seem (I do amateur stand-up) and it really makes it clear how you should be developing jokes and stuff. Plus it helps with annunciation. Also, one thing I've noticed in my own recording is that going "mhm" during an interview is very distracting. I was really interested in the whole needle-taint story, but I was constantly being thrown out of it with the "mhm mhm"s and the interjections. Just let the dude tell his story. Trust that it's a good story. If you need to add interjections for explanations, edit them in. You're on a good path Capm. Keep going and improving and I think you can produce a really unique and entertaining podcast. I will also review/rate on iTunes. reflex fucked around with this message at 20:45 on Mar 10, 2011 |

I'm super receptive to criticism and I appreciate the hell out of it. Thanks a lot, man. It shows you were actually paying attention. I won't deny that the whole thing is a work in progress and that I'm trying to refine a voice, which I feel is pretty unique. I had a more traditional "What if some dudes talked?" podcast for more than a year, and while I loved it, I am consciously trying to do something different. It's funny that you bring up open mics. I was actually writing material for open mics when I got the idea to turn them into podcast rants instead. Maybe I did it in the wrong order? Part of the problem with the comedy being hit and miss is that when I do get feedback, it is generally not consistent. Some people's favorite parts totally fall flat with other people. People do tell me when they think something doesn't work. It's just they don't agree. I know that's a problem in and of itself (good comedy should hit closer to the middle of a bell curve rather than the edges of a parabola) and I'm still working out what to do about it. I hadn't thought of the mmhmm thing during the interview. That is good advice and I appreciate all the feedback.

I was wondering if anyone could watch our shows and give us some feedback. I know there's ways we can improve, but right now I only have some ideas in my head about what we could do better (especially for the not live stuff). So any commentary would be appreciated.
