Nice job on the podcast, everyone!

@NexTerren I liked your response to the "who let you in here?" thing. :-)

Would a pseudohistorical account of a typical day in the 21st century fit the Universe Factory blog in form of a 12-24part recurring article? I was thinking about finally dabbling in writing and give it a shot

In theory it might :) The Blog runs fiction and so that seems relevant.

It might end up as a choose your own adventure story as far as I know myself

@MonicaCellio :D

So. What is everyone feeling for episode 2?

^^ @DaaaahWhoosh @Green @NexTerren @ArtOfCode

I guess the first question is, do you all want to participate in episode 2?

eeeeeeeeeeeh

I hate sand

@James I'm happy to edit. That seems to make sense, now that I've got the environment set up and the toolchain sorted. Easier than transferring to someone else now :)

Just as long as we bear in mind that I've got a fair old load of work to do these days.

Every other week, max, would probably be fine

@James Hells Yes!

@ArtOfCode Yeah I am thinking at MOST it would be every other week

@James yeah, on audience grounds too. A week is almost too short to digest a 90 minute podcast

@ArtOfCode agreed

@DaaaahWhoosh What? Are you Vader?

@James Sure. I'd love to continue to participate. On the other hand if you want multiple guests or something on one episode I'll also be willing to not join as helps.

Did I hear guests?

@dot_Sp0T you did

it'd be awesome if we can shuffle the team around

Well then I will try my best lolcat: Can I haz guest

@dot_Sp0T sure. We'll need to figure out when you can fit in, but no reason why not :)

So I am perfectly willing to host again, and I am happy to take feedback from episode 1. I already noted a few things I should change.

@DaaaahWhoosh Does "eeeeeeeeeh" translate to: "I don't know if I want to participate again?"

@NexTerren from my perspective, the Jedi are Vader

@James it translates to "it's hard to be self-critical without forcing others to disagree"

"Or maybe that's just my perspective, maybe other people don't think that way"

@DaaaahWhoosh lol

true

but anyway, yeah I worry that my conversation skills are somewhat lacking. Also it seems like three people is a better number

@ArtOfCode oh there's lots of reasons not to let me be on a podcast, you just don't know about them yet

@dot_Sp0T Worst comes to the worst, I cut you out entirely in post-edit :)

@ArtOfCode I'll have the individual feeds for each contributor. Cutting someone out should be really easy.

I think four total, including guests, is a good number.

@NexTerren Agreed.

@Green nah, it'll still need to be edited - people will have been talking to the cut person, and that needs cutting

@James What are you changing/improving, if I might ask?

@ArtOfCode you could easily put some text there

@ArtOfCode Good point. That would get annoying to do really quickly.

But anyway, we're not going to need to cut anyone out :)

@Green Yep - the cut I had to do in #1 took long enough

@James do we have a meta post for #2 yet?

@DaaaahWhoosh Since you don't sound thrilled with being a speaker, what if you were our default stand-in for when we don't have a guest? Would you enjoy that more?

@NexTerren that does seem like a good place for me.

also, if there is need/desire for more artwork, I would gladly offer my services in that field

@DaaaahWhoosh Its up to you but for the record you input was fantastic (when I asked for your input specifically :) )

@Green I added a second post under the episode planning meta thread

@NexTerren A couple basic things stuck out. 1. Don't smack the desk for emphasis cause the mic makes weird noises. 2. When going around and asking each person the same question I needed to transition and flow better... I think I said "What've you got" which is just bad probably 8 times

@DaaaahWhoosh Your answer to "What is world-building" was probably the best single answer in the entire session.

@NexTerren I think it will probably help to focus a bit as well. I am thinking of creating a set of standard "segments" for the show, that we can mix and match.

So, Games, Interviews, Discuss A' World, Fix a listener issue. Those are the standard segments I have in mind so far.

@James Looking it over. Can I make edits with information that I know?

@Green Sure

@James aye, there's the rub

@Green I made it community wiki

@James Cool. Thank you.

@James If you know of anything I can work on (besides my voice, which I'm honestly going to try to work on) let me know.

@NexTerren Honestly I really only paid attention to my own mannerisms and speech the first time, so I will have to give it another listen.

@ArtOfCode True that.
