Say Anything Podcast #1
I've been toying around with podcasts for the last couple of weeks and, frankly, have become a bit enamored with them. So enamored with them that I thought I might take a shot at doing one myself. So I enlisted the help of Say Anything reader Tom Brusegaard and gave it a shot tonight.
Here are the topics we covered:
All in all I think it turned out pretty well. Right at the beginning I had some problems with Tom's audio but a quick volume adjustment on his feed fixed that and the rest turned out pretty well. To avoid long distance charges (Tom lives a few hundred miles away from me) we used Google Talk's call feature to communicate. I wasn't sure how it would work out, but I think it turned out pretty well. Serviceable enough for an amateur attempt anyway.
Here's a link to the podcast.
Post your reactions/opinions below if you'd like.
Update:
It should be noted that during the Native American mascot segment of the podcast I stated that the Illini, the mascot for the University of Illinois, is actually a fictional tribe. I was wrong. A mascot for the University of Illinois called Chief Illiniwek is a fictional figure (there is no historical equivalent), but the Illini tribe actually existed. I got to thinking about that as soon as I got done recording the podcast and looked it up to make sure I wasn't confused. Turns out I was confused, so this is my correction.
Here are the topics we covered:
- The UND Fighting Sioux logo controversy.
- Why North Dakota Governor John Hoeven didn't run for the Senate.
- The Miers nomination and the effect it has having on the right's base.
- The avian flu situation and the talk about giving the President power to deploy federal troops domestically.
- The Iraqi constitution and the media reaction to it.
