Flashlight podcasts

[TigerhawkT3]

Is this something anyone would be interested in? Technical explanations, interviews with real flashlight users, discussions at CPF get-togethers, etc.?

 

[TigerhawkT3]

So, no? I'm glad I asked beforehand.

Cool. :thumbsup: Any suggestions for the first one?

 

[Tachikoma]

You could start from the basics, explaining the various lighting technologies available today (incandescents, LEDs, electroluminescents, HIDs, ecc.)

I like ''Tachikoma''s idea. Would you be hosting these podcasts on Itunes?

Nope, they'd be hosted on my website, http://www.tigerhawkt3.com.

Should these have video as well, or just audio?

I realized a few minutes ago that I have no idea how long a podcast usually is. Two minutes? Twenty? Less? More?

 

[Tachikoma]

I would make a 20 minutes audio only mp3, what do you think?

 

[TigerhawkT3]

Sounds good to me.

You guys all thought I forgot, didn't you? Well, I didn't forget. I just procrastinated.

Here's a PDF of my little script.

Here's the MP3. It clocks in at a little under 20 minutes. Before you listen to it, let me warn you, it sounded fine on my monitor's built-in speakers, but when I tried my good headphones, it was far from fine. Eliminating the bass frequencies in the equalizer helps a lot, as might avoiding headphones and other devices that let you really hear separate stereo channels, but it's basically an aural mess. I highly recommend skipping the audio entirely and going with the PDF.

Well, we can't say I didn't try... unfortunately.

That was great! :goodjob: You should reconsider publishing this through iTunes. Subscribing to it would be so much easier.

Have you considered interviewing people? There are a lot of very interesting folks here on CPF.

You have an exceptional organizational skill. Permitting CPF to benefit is appreciated.

-just in case no one has said thank you

 

[Tachikoma]

Excellent my friend :twothumbs

 

[TigerhawkT3]

Thank you!

Did anyone else have sound quality issues? I'd really like to figure out how to get reasonable sound before I do anything more, but if no one else experienced overpowering bass and wonky stereo, there might be something wrong on my end.

Interviews and discussions are next on my list. Until then, I was thinking maybe a battery-related podcast. Thoughts?

No sound issues on my side.

I thought your first one was well organized and delivered. Keep it up!
