The Rules of “Writing Excuses”: Keeping it 15 Minutes Long
Posted March 24th, 2008 by Howard TaylerOn Friday, whilst preparing to record Episodes 10 and 11 (yes, even in Podcasting there are buffers to be had) we recorded a three-minute long segment on “The Rules.”
How do we keep our podcasts 15 minutes long? No Expounding, No Cans of Worms, No Waffling, and judicious use of the Pimp Signal.
This 80%-shorter-than usual bonus episode features far, far more screwing around than most of our ‘casts do. It’s also the first episode we recorded using the old-school “everybody through the laptop mic” technique (accidentally, mind you — Jordan is face-palming that flub), so let us know what you think of the sound quality. We need to know if episodes 10 and 11 need to be re-recorded.

So,
I’m probably a little more sensitive to the sound quality of a podcast than most. It wasn’t so bad that I couldn’t listen to it, but I probably wouldn’t listen to it again (unlike earlier episodes). My 2 cents.

P.S. Love the content and the presentation of this series. And am looking forward to more. Now, where’s that morning coffee?

Yeah, I’ll agree with B’jamin, with moderation. It wasn’t amazing sound quality–at various moments, Brandon and Dan would both be a little bit hard to hear. But it gets the job done.

Definitely a bit harder to understand than previous episodes.

The “harder to understand” bit is a result of us talking over each other, which would have been just as bad with the lavalier lapel mics we were wearing.
