Podcast Prototype Number 1

http://andyrobertsmusic.blogspot.com/2010/06/podcast-prototype-number-1.html

Well I didn't get to Havering Folk Club last Wednesday because I was on holiday canal boating on the Kennet and Avon canal on board Isabella.So instead I'm blogging here about what's happening with the Tuesday evening live streaming music show that I've been doing for almost a year now, most weeks. I've decided to turn it into a podcast as well. That means you don't have to be there live at 7.00pm on a Tuesday in order to hear the show. You should be able to subscribe with iTunes or similar feed reading software, and have each episode downloaded as an mp3 file to listen to as and when you have a spare moment.The show itself is pretty much the same unrehearsed music and chat as always except that I don't stop to mess about with the record/stop button and saving the description and tags etc in between each song. The whole thing gets recorded as one block and then the audio is stripped out and distributed through the podcasting channel via one of my websites called andyroberts.me We're still in the prototyping stage so this could change but for the present the new url for the podcast feed should be at http://andyroberts.me/?feed=podcast Try putting that into your iTunes subscriptions . In my version you have to go to the overhead top go to the top of page drop down menu and select "Advanced" then "Subscribe to Podcast" and paste the url http://andyroberts.me/?feed=podcast into the box which pops up. Your mileage may vary.I can still edit out individual songs for uploading to youTube so there's nothing lost in that respect and here are the five songs from last week's Andy Roberts podcast prototype number 1

The Wreckers Prayer

People Are Strange

Cormorants

Here Comes The Sun

Podcast Prototype No 1

http://andyroberts.me/andy-roberts/podcast-prototype-no-1

Podcast I had an idea about turning the Weekly Ustream.tv show into a podcast and started putting it into practice. So last Tuesday instead of just recording some of the individual songs during the webcast for uploading to youTube, I recorded the whole half an hour or so of the show, songs and talking, and saved it using the ustream record system. I was fairly happy with the way that went from a performance point of view, it worked better for me than premeditated songs and faffing about with song tit;es description and tags in the middle of a broadcast. The experiment was to see what I could do with the resulting file. I downloaded it to my Mac – ustream provides a file in .flv format (Flash) and when I clicked on the downloaded file it opened an application I’d never seen before! Mpeg-streamclip was able to export in various formats including quicktime, Mpeg4, and audio only. So far so good. The quicktime version allowed me to quickly edit out the five songs from within the video and save them individually as .mov , all ready for uploading to youtube. So this meant that with a small amount of effort I can use ustream for the live streaming show, record it all in one go, and still have the songs available in youtube for embedding elsewhere and so on. But what about the podcast? Ah, well I went away for a few days, so now I’m getting around to it. The audio podcast is here: http://andyroberts.me/wp-content/podcast/Podcast-prototype-1.mp3 and the video podcast is is still hosted on ustream at

http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/7526414 also embedded below

But this still doesn’t count as a podcast yet until I have it set up as a series you can subscribe to in iTunes or the audio player of your choice. Fortunately I still the rest of the month of June to get that boxed off, since this is still the prototyping period, and I’ve set the goal of getting started for real in July.
