wongaCast #1

May 27th, 2005 - 23:57 | 9 comments

When you go around to Nod’s house for a games evening with a newly purchased iPod microphone, there’s only really one thing to do. And that’s record the first wongaCast! For the uninitiated, a Podcast is a downloadable audio show. This is not worthy of the word ‘Podcast’. If, by any chance, you’ve happened across this page searching for new Podcasts, you’re unlikely to understand a word of what’s going on unless you know me. It’s about one minute long and can be heard, in full and unedited (as will become apparent), here:

wongaCast #1 - 27/05/05

I should point out that the guessing game involves me acting out the word in question. Also, the word ‘inaugural’ appears much more than it should do. What can I say, I was excited

1. Don’t be lazy 2. Do you want me to link to your innumerable comments regarding absolute links and their inherent evilness back when I launched the new site?

Hmmm, what the hell’s going on with the poll

we liked the ‘good luck’ at the end.

was that woofing in it?

Yeah, I don’t know where that came from
There wasn’t any woofing, but I know what you’re referring to. The iPod microphone isn’t of a very good quality (8khz max to stop you recording concerts and the like) and I can’t tell whether the noise is something terribly distorted, or an artifact of the compression process. It’s annoying, though.

perhaps you can get a better mike. I have one if you want to borrow it to try out. Standard kind of plug thing.

Unfortunately it’s the iPod that lowers the sound quality. Apple don’t want to have to deal with people illegally recording copyrighted music directly onto it, apparently.

The iPod was on the floor and we were all sitting around it, mind, so perhaps if I speak into it properly I’ll get a better result. Thanks for the offer, though!
