The Latest Podcast

I knew this episode was going to be a bit tougher then the previous ones because Meds (one of the co-hosts) lost his audio and the other co-host Al's audio stopped recording halfway through the podcast. Luckily he realized after a few minutes and started recording again. As for Meds audio, he sent me the lines he had to say during the show, ie guest stars and such but there was no interaction. And I remembered that I had some back up audio.

How I edit this podcast is that all three hosts record their own audio on their own computer and then send me the files. And I cut them all together and blend everything to sound like we are in the same room. But we interact over Skype and I am able to record that audio just in case. It's not the best audio and there are multiple drop outs and such but it's something. So I have to use that audio for Meds portion of the show.

Because the skype audio is all three of us talking it's taking me a lot longer to edit the podcast. In the end it will sound great with Meds audio being just a bit off.. but thank goodness for my back up audio or this would be an even harder podcast to edit.

It's taken me several evening 10pm to Midnight but I'm almost done with this episode. All I have left to do is add the audio bites and then do one final polish pass (make sure it sounds perfect, or as perfect as it can be).

Episode 9 - Henry, Please Come Home will be released on June 1st
