[edit] Radio Wikipedia

This is my radio show, however, I am looking for 10 second sound files, commenting on Wikipedia. If you could get me one done in the next 10 mins (little time, i know!), I can have it in today's broadcast. StewieGriffin! • Talk 15:04, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

I've got a short clip (ad for WP VG) but still trying to encode it to .ogg. Might not have it in for your press deadline =). xenocidic (talk) 15:20, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
It doesn't matter what format. It could even be a video on youtube. Anything, but quick. I want to broadcast ASAP. StewieGriffin! • Talk 15:21, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Here you go Image:RADWPVGAD.ogg. Thanks! xenocidic (talk) 15:32, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RWP: Issue 4

There you go... It's got your comment in.

Great show, might I suggest starting to report how many new articles since the last broadcast, rather than how many articles? (i.e. "Since last broadcast, over 7500 new articles have been added to Wikipedia's nearly 2.4 million articles.) xenocidic (talk) 16:06, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Extended Show

I am thinking of an extended show. Would you be interested in a minute slot to talk about Wikipedia (not news; as that's my job)? StewieGriffin! • Talk 16:09, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Hrm, if I can figure out what to talk about, I'll try to have something to you by the end of day, but I might not come up with anything particularly interesting. =) xenocidic (talk) 16:10, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Talk about a WikiProject, news on other projects and languages etc... I don't need anything until 5PM tomorrow. StewieGriffin! • Talk 16:14, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
What about if I gave an analysis of the FritzpollBot discusion/debate? P.S. It might be a good idea if you refactored everything from your talk page about Radio Wikipedia over to WT:RADWP, or at the very least start discussing it there, for centralization purposes.(done,at least the bits from my talk page) xenocidic (talk) 16:18, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Yeah. I don't like the idea. If you prepare a maximum of 1 minute discussion by 5PM, it'll get in tomorrow's show. StewieGriffin! • Talk 16:34, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
I mean about FritzpollBot, not the idea of you broadcasting on my radio show. StewieGriffin! • Talk 17:03, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Yep, don't worry - I figured that's what you meant =). xenocidic (talk) 17:31, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Issue 5

Here is my submission for issue 5, Image:RADWP-Fritzpollbot.ogg. xenocidic (talk) 18:35, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Good show, but when you re-record my submission, are you playing it through the browser? Because it tends to skip a bit. You consider consider downloading the file and playing it with a media player instead. xenocidic ( talk ¿ listen ) 23:49, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Scripts

Have you ever considered scripting the show? Of the couple of episodes I've listened to, it's just rambling it sounds like. If you sat down and scripted what you wanted to say, it would be organized and you'd know what you'd want to say. Metros (talk) 19:58, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

I have to agree here. What you will want to do is (1) figure out what topics you want to cover, (2) a general idea of what you want to say, and (3) write down a "script" of exactly what you are going to say. Then, fire up the 'ol mic and start making Wikipedia broadcasting history! Thingg⊕⊗ 23:24, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
If you scripted it, you could also publish the script for subscribers who are deaf, have no speakers, or are at work. Bob the Wikipedian (talk) 20:05, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bulletin board

I've removed the huge template from the bottom of the WP:CBB. Please either refine and bump-up-the-list the sentence that already exists in the "Notices" section, or redesign the template so that it fits under the current podcast templates. Thanks. -- Quiddity (talk) 20:36, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WP:SPOT

I made Media:Spotlight.ogg. It's not very good, the microphone was really fuzzy and it made my voice sound weird but it's there...... Dendodge .. TalkHelp 19:44, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Just FYI you should upload these to the Commons, and you can also add Category:Radio Wikipedia and Category:Ogg files. xenocidic ( talk ¿ listen ) 12:49, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Episode 6

Depending on your broadcast time, I probably won't have anything for you today. Best of luck! xenocidic ( talk ¿ listen ) 12:46, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Recording

I think this is a brilliant idea but you really need to slow down when your speaking, have more clarity and not be so close to your microphone as there is a lot of breathing. Hope this helps. ŠeDDøΛ talk 18:14, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

I second ŠeDDøΛ's thoughts. However, a great concept! Mspraveen (talk) 08:55, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Project awareness

I noticed that you (StewieGriffin!) were asking for ideas on projects to feature on your show? Perhaps SSP would be a good topic. Very few admins patrol it, and greater awareness would help that area become less backlogged? An episode like this would show your dedication to dealing with sockpuppetry.
