Will humanity be able to survive without 4 Spiderman movies this year?

When I started i wanted to find a way to record fancy audio visualizations from the audio track to upload to youtube. After a few months of having that in the back of my mind I finally figured I could do it with FFMPEG, and I was right...So, I use ffmpeg to convert the audio stream into visualizations over a still image and then upload to youtube for random discovery. The response seems to be pretty good...hopefully this will be a long term route for people to find my podcast.

On the technical end, if you can do all the fancy stuff as you record (compression, deessing, noise gates, limiters, more compression, side chain compression) you can treat it like a radio show and save a TON of time not fussing with post.

Not sure what your set up is like, and I'm pretty sure the rest of the world does things differently than I do, but I use Linux with a real time kernel and Jack to work on the audio on the way to the disk, makes a professional quality recording without much if any post. I use Ardour as my DAW.

A facebook page with the option to promote seems like a cheap way to get people's attention. Haven't thrown any money at that yet.

As for a forum, vaniall forum is free, though a bit tricky to set up, but it plays nice with wordpress.

Convince your podcast crew to work conventions and build strong relationships with other podcasts, perhaps a podcast network. Oh, you said they are on a network, good job.

I have only made seven episodes of my main podcast, so I might not know shit about shit. 

Wow.

I must say that I am taken aback, and more than a bit sad to see the end(-ish?) of what has absolutely been my favorite podcast ever since I stumbled upon it's existence somewhere in a reddit.com/r/movies thread and fired up an episode along side a file of The Chronicles of Riddick. To have randomly stumbled across an infotainment source composed of people I'd be right at home hanging out with, having the sorts of conversations I cherish any time I find myself lucky enough to be having one....has been really special.

Having had access to "four friends in my head" while traveling thousands of miles through the country, often through areas where I feel like a complete alien, having been able to contribute in small ways from time to time in the chat, has meant a lot.

DiF has been a bigger than is probably socially acceptable part of my life since the moment I found it.

Thank you to everyone who has sunk time, and money, and html code, and various other sorts of effort into this strange but remarkable project which week after week produced an informative, entertaining, engaging, challenging, and hilarious product which has most certainly affected many people in many positive ways which the creators could never have predicted and will probably never know anything about.

You glorious bastards accomplished something pretty great, and I can't wait to see what you get up to next.

In the mean time, Teague, I'm going to make good on my various threats to start my own DiF type podcast. But, I probably wont be calling it Poly-Glamorous...but who knows. Maybe I will.

It takes him almost 9 minutes to express the idea that since the Bible is devoid of comedy that comedy gets no respect in Western culture and isn't treated as art...which I am not sure is entirely true, but I do believe his is right, dramatic film is generally too serious these days and that comedy isn't valued enough as a seasoning in most projects. Gone Girl has a lot of comedic moments worked into in it, despite being an insanely intense film.

From 14 minutes on he's spot on though. Comedy is an artform with rules, that works best in the hands of someone experienced enough to know when to violate those rules for maximum effect.

Glad you guys did this one. Very much enjoyed this episode. The movie is such a well directed mess, which had some potential. Listening to the commentary I was struck with the thought towards the end that the film plays like the terminator would play if all Reese exposition scenes were cut for time.

"Everything that could be an action beat will be a 30 minute action sequence."
--Mandate for the movie.

This thing goes on forever, which is typical since Transformers 2 I guess? It's probably a good movie to have running on a second monitor while you are trying to design a perpetual motion machine but want to have something in the background to keep you from going insane.
