Not terrible. You're way harsher than necessary. Go listen to episode 1 of nearly any show and you'll see where everyone started. It's not a laugh-a-minute riot of a show, but I don't think that was your intention. It'll get good as you figure out what's its supposed to be. Not a bad start. In think Nate needs a better mic setup though.
Just be happy they make one that can pick up his voice.
Nate actually sounded almost exactly like I expected. Solly on the other hand sounded nothing like I expected. I did expect nasal, but I also expected more northeast even though he now resides on the left coast.
It'll be a good addition to my commute listening once it gets the proper Podomatic or iTunes treatment. Especially since my attention span for actually sitting and watching baseball has waned over the past few years.
Andy said they were trying to get away from Podomatic. We were actually the first show to use the embed code that Aaron hacked together. Once he has the code finalized, it's supposed to post to iTunes and Stitcher automatically. At least that was my understanding. Maybe Andy can clarify?
Maybe I'll have to go try Stitcher, because the "Download mp3" buttons just open the player on my phone and doesn't save it to the phone. They also tend to cut off after about 7 minutes in.
And for the record, I tend to still prefer my Zune which will pull from the iTunes .xml link just fine. But only Flawedcast, Flawmentary, and MNF are currently showing for me. So I've been using the flawedcast.net little button links to go to the podomatic links so I can download to my phone for the other shows.
If the "Downlaod mp3" button just let me save them to my phone like the "Download" link does on podomatic, I'd probably just go that route for all the eps. Not sure if that's something to do with my phone specifically (Motorola Photon, Android OS) or if it's in the code for the "Download mp3" button.
Again, just minor inconveniences for now. And if I'm the only one experiencing these inconveniences, there is absolutely not any reason to make extra effort for just me. I'll find a way to listen regardless.
And there is the problem with the stupid fucking Droid platform. You can make something that "works on Droid," but does it work on all of them? It works on this guy's, but not this guy's because it's the dumbest idea ever conceived.
But at least I have freedom to do with my Droid what I want, rather than having the overlords at Apple tell me how I want my phone to look and perform.
There's literally nothing I want out of a phone that I'm unable to do on the iPhone.
There's a reason flawedcast.net still says "under construction" by the way. Aaron showed me what he's got and it's gonna make podomatic look like amateur bullshit. I'm going back to visit next weekend and we'll complete this thing, hopefully. I am aware of the issues and everything will be fixed. So, keep making your episodes and by the time you're making something you're proud of, it'll be everywhere.
Again, it was only a very minor quibble. Don't need anything special done if it's just me having he problem. But I wasn't sure if it could just be a "switch this setting" thing in the coding or not.
