Blogtalk Frustrations

Technical problems with Blogtalk Radio are becoming more and more common.  I apologize for the show last night.  Somehow BTR dropped my skype call... so that's the dead space at the begining of the show.  As if that's not bad enough... apparently after I killed the show.. the mic stayed hot and basically recorded another like hour... even though I ended the episode.

I'm not going to kill the show or anything.  Its just frustrating and a little embarrassing.  I mean I embrace the whole "unprofessional radio guys" thing.  It gives the show that "ya never know what might happen" kind of vibe.  But this was to much for my taste.

So sorry man.  I'll be finding someone at BTR to chew out so we can get back to laughing at our own jokes, eating on air, and generally being offensive.

Is there another service provider you can try?
Or maybe just record it locally, do phones through skype, then upload the podcast after.

Don't give up Nate. You have a great thing going here. I would hate to see some faceless tech entity screw it up for you.

I agree, it is really ridiculous how many problems we've had - especially for a "service" that costs money. Gonna have to get a Telos machine...

What time (and time zone) does the show start? I have some Gentleman Jack and I hear it is bad form to drink alone...

Nate said...

we do it at 9central on fridays... but... if you need drinking buddies... the you can listen to any of the archived shows any time.

Look, you do it for fun, right? Don't sweat the technicalities; we don't pay for this, so anything beyond zero is gravy.

However, having said that...if you are paying BTR for the service, then you absolutely ought to be getting your money's worth from them. That you might not be a professional making money from this endeavor does not extend to them and similarly let them off the hook.

And thanks again for the entertainment. Haven't caught this episode yet, but I probably will tomorrow.

Oh, and last night:

A: Bass Ale and The Dalmore scotch
T: Macanudo
F: Yes

Tonight, it's Cabernet Franc from The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey (Colorado wine).

Cheers!

Nate you worry too much it was funny, too bad I couldn't understand what was being said in the background. If you think that will run people off you are badly mistaken.

OT Nate


Watch the Ravens Flaco who just got a big contract, suck like a little baby this season. He sure is sucking tonight on ESPN. Seems like it always happens. I wish you would give your race horse analysis on ATF as who is the dark horse that will surprise everyone.
