TMNT Podcast

*Kunoichi_Haruko* · 03-17-2007, 12:06 PM

Do you think it's a good idea? I've had it brewing in my head for months now. I see plenty of other fandoms with their own podcasts-- why not us? I believe we have a wealth of content to fill up at least 15 minutes a week (heck, it doesn't even have to be weekly truthfully), plus it may garner some new fans of the franchise now that the movie's practically here. In fact, we probably should've had something like this months ago to promote the movie...

Anyway, what do you think? Should we fans get together and do this, or should I let this little idea go the way of the dodo?

UPDATE!

Now Accepting Potential Titles:
1. The Shellcast
2. The Turtlecast
3. Green Hour
4. Shellshow
5. Turtlecomm
6. TMNT OTAKU

I like the idea,put some episode and movie reviews,TMNT music and sneak peek and other thing as well.Like the idea.

*Kendamu* · 03-17-2007, 12:50 PM

If you can do it with the quality of Daizenshuu EX's podcasts I'd love to see it happen.

*Aelia* · 03-17-2007, 01:13 PM

I think it's an awesome idea! I'd love to help in any way I can. For podcasts the recommended type of microphone is usually a USB condenser mic, and those can be very expensive. I have one myself (I use it for my voice acting.) and it was one of the best purchases I've ever made. A friend of mine has one for podcasting his movie reviews. Do you have one or at least know and friend who has one?

*Kunoichi_Haruko* · 03-17-2007, 01:18 PM

No I don't have one of those mics, all I've got is Garageband and a dream.

Where can I purchase one of these? And thanks for offering your help-- I'm gonna need it! I've never tried to do a project of this magnitude before, and I don't want something this potentially awesome to crash & burn simply because I don't know what the heck I'm doing...

*Aelia* · 03-17-2007, 01:33 PM

Well, I bought this microphone:
http://www.idjnow.com/StoreModules/P...oryID=--DeID=0

IDJNOW is pretty reliable. I got my mic in about a week.

But as for the rest of the podcast. I suppose the best way to learn more about putting together a podcast is to listen to other podcasts and take notes on what content makes them worth listening to. There are tutorials online, but as of yet I can't link them to you (I can't remember the URL.) I think if you're successful it you could make it a weekly podcast, and special guests would be awesome.

*Kunoichi_Haruko* · 03-17-2007, 01:50 PM

Well, I've got a few ideas in terms of content:

Comicbook analysis
character analysis
game reviews
videogame cheats
fan contests (varied)
movie reviews
latest rumors/ speculation
listener questions/feedback

in the (distant) future, I'd also love to do interviews with those who work on the current comics (those "special guests" you mentioned, Aelia)

and by no means do I want to take this thing on solo. It's definitely going to require collaboration, mainly because even though I'm a fan, I'm not nearly as knowledgeable about the franchise as some people on this board, so I'm thinking I'll need a panel.

I'm basically ripping a page from Mugglecast... and every other decent podcast I've heard.

*Aelia* · 03-17-2007, 02:08 PM

Awesome! There are alot of people who would LOVE to be on the panel (I know I'd love to be on it.) and there are many who would be be very qualified to do it. I'd suggest a team of at least five people, and backup panelists in case one of them gets sick or has other things going on. I think holding polls, especially on deciding the topic of the Fan Contest would be useful.

*Kunoichi_Haruko* · 03-17-2007, 02:22 PM

Well, congratulations, Aelia-- I do believe you'll be my first panelist!

Now let's see if we can get this thing off the ground, shall we?

*Sonic777* · 03-17-2007, 02:27 PM

me,me,me.Can I be one.I can help you.please

*Aelia* · 03-17-2007, 02:29 PM

Yes! Thank you! I'm not sure how good I'll be at the comic book analysis though, I've never been able to go and buy the the TMNT comic books because there isn't anywhere to buy them in Wilmington(This town sucks.) Everything else I've got covered, especially with movie reviews and game reviews.

*Sonic777* · 03-17-2007, 02:32 PM

you do.I was going to help with the episode reviews and some other stuff.

JohnnyFoxDarko · 03-17-2007, 02:59 PM

I can try and help. I like the idea, but think it's coming a bit too late.

*Kendamu* · 03-17-2007, 05:40 PM

Yo. If you have the hosting space and know how to do it, make sure that the podcast can be subscribed to on iTunes. I'm a lot more likely to listen to a podcast if I can just turn on iTunes and hit "update" instead of having to go to a website and chase down the latest update.

*Kunoichi_Haruko* · 03-17-2007, 05:50 PM

Yo. Will do, Goonga. I've yet to subscribe to a podcast that I didn't find on iTunes.

Man, this podcast thing is going to take a minute. There's a lot more to it than I thought. It's still relatively simple, but it's just a matter of finding a place to host this. Just watch this space people, until I get a handle on what I'm doing.

And you're right, Johnny. This probably should've been launched at least a year ago. But hey, I wasn't even here a year ago, so...

*Kendamu* · 03-17-2007, 06:15 PM

Sweet. Youre gonna iTunes it.

You're already guaranteed having me as a subscriber.

*Sonic777* · 03-17-2007, 08:55 PM

Sweet,I'm subscribeing,We need a name to call it.ninja turtle news or TMNTnews or something.

*Kunoichi_Haruko* · 03-17-2007, 08:58 PM

Well I just bought the TMNT Podcast domain name (www.tmntpodcast.com) from GoDaddy, but we could always name it something else...

There's nothing there, of course, so you don't have to go to the site yet.

**Jester** · 03-17-2007, 08:59 PM

Let me know if I can help...I...do....voices...

It's a good name for a domain but it's too bland for the actual podcast name.

The Shellcast?
The Turtlecast?
Green Hour?
The "Goongasnootch is Cool" Show?

...

Shellshow?
