Hey! Hello!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been listening to a lot of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thirdcoastfestival.org\/index.asp\">experimental audio<\/a> lately. And I&#8217;d like to try mixing a little podcast comprised of stories &#8211; a little &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/thislife.org\/\">This Ex-American Life<\/a>&#8221; for you NPR fans.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the deal &#8211; you send me some audio, then I produce and podcast. I&#8217;m thinking about something that&#8217;s a hybrid of my recent whine and these <a href=\"ttp:\/\/morskyjezek.blogspot.com\/2006\/09\/on-platform.html\">soundscapes from Brno<\/a> and, well, who knows. Depends on what you send me.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s only one restriction &#8211; the file format. I can take mp3, wav, or wma. I&#8217;m not yet set up to work with Apple&#8217;s proprietary format &#8211; my podcasting software doesn&#8217;t support Mac files yet. I recorded my audio clips using the mic on my webcam, that&#8217;s how unsexy my set up is. If you&#8217;ve been wanting to try a little audio but are nervous, this could be the excuse. Need a recorder? Try <a href=\"http:\/\/audacity.sourceforge.net\/about\/features\">Audacity<\/a> &#8211; it seems easy and well reviewed and it&#8217;s free. You may also have a recorder in your burning software &#8211; we use Nero and it includes a full audio recorder and editor. Keep your files simple, please &#8211; send me just your voice or song or sounds. I&#8217;ll do the production stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Interested? The theme I&#8217;d like to work with is &#8211; no surprises here &#8211; &#8220;There&#8217;s no place like home.&#8221; Plenty of room for interpretation &#8211; ironic, sarcastic, totally sincere&#8230; Your story doesn&#8217;t have to be spoken word &#8211; it could be a song or sound or&#8230; my plan is to slice and dice &#8211; please don&#8217;t expect that you&#8217;ll hear exactly what you sent in the end result, okay?<\/p>\n<p>Whaddaya say? No, don&#8217;t tell me in writing, tell me in audio. Send your clips or questions to pam (at) nerdseyeview (dot) com. Or, if you&#8217;ve got a download link, I could pull the audio from there, too.<\/p>\n<p>It could be cool. Or it could totally suck. Or maybe it&#8217;s too complicated to even fly. Who knows, it&#8217;s an experiment. I&#8217;d sure like it if you&#8217;d participate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Update: This is a recycled post from 2006.
