Anyone have any interest in starting a podcast? I feel like drinking, making dick jokes, and talking about warhammer could be entertaining to some people. Just a thought.

That would be a blast, but it'd be important to distinguish it from the crowd in some way. There's a wealth of wargaming podcasts out there and, as handsome and hilarious as we all are, we'd unfortunately need something more than that. But I'd be very interested in working on something like that. I do have the tightest pants.

Captain tight pants, count me it. I've been waning to do a pod cast for a while. Also, I've been wanting to do some battle reports if people are up for it. However, I have no clue how to go about actually making either...
With a good mix of British and Midwestern accents and being based out of chicago it shouldn't be too hard to stand out. Most of the pod casts are out of podunkville and either very british or very hill billy.
Daniel can give painting tips, Jeff could give out vegan recepies and I can teach people how to sew their finger back on if they cut it off with a hobby knife!

Today on "Russell's Chemistry Corner" I discuss the importance of chirality during your methampetamine synthesis and a quick how to guide on maximizing your yield of delicious crystal.
I agree with Jeff, the Midwest is rife with podcasts. However, none of them are localized in Chicago proper; I only know of Garagehammer based in the suburbs. But that podcast isn't very good. Pointhammered and Skull Bros Awesome are in the wintery tundra of Wisconsin and Ohiohammer is out in...whichever direction Ohio is in. One thing I have noticed is that they devote all of their time and coverage on fantasy or 40k; I don't think I've found a podcast that does both regularly. So we could stand out in that aspect. I saw 'we' beacuse I'm super into this if we want to move forward with a podcast. I don't have a great radio voice, though. I also like to say 'fuck' a lot so I hope that doesn't hinder our plans.

But ruessell, you have a face made for radio!
But here are some "catch" ideas. Prep for Adeptacon. Have a segment by each player who is building a list. Since some of you sound like you may be building a whole army from the ground up, there can be discussion on books, lists, why you chose what you chose. Then also on modeling, painting, tactics and the practices building up to the big day.
Another idea could be run a weekly campaign/update. Something to create the "need to follow along and see what happens next" Basically have two "worlds" fantasy and 40k, each evolving as we all play games with each other, and just update them with highlights every other session/week etc? ..."and next week, the Russels Yellow space smurfs defend their fortress world from the ravages of Jeffs tentacle monsters."
lame? ... or brilliant

Brilliant!
I like the idea of having both 40k and Warhammer coverage - doing book reviews as each army comes out, talking about plans as we prepare for tournaments, talk about results as we return from tournaments, giving out recipes for vegan "food", talking about our own local battles and rivalries, etc.
I like this!

I can do accents. I don't care what we talk about but I can do accents, really really racist accents.

I like the idea of planning match-ups between armies and then delivering on that. It will provide a really close look at specific tactics when taking on certain armies, what units worked well, etc. Also will get us out there and playing, what with new obligation and stress to add to my needlessly fun hobby. To go along with that, building some sort of loosely narrative campaign to report on might be fun as well.
I agree focusing on both 40k and Fantasy is best, but we could very easily end up with a four hour podcast with that. We might want to have some sort of separation of focus per episode, maybe just alternating between the two every episode. Not that there won't be any hard rule against talking about the other, but our planned focus (segments, bat reps, etc.) will be on only one game per episode. Or we can just mix our planned segments together. Hm. That actually might be best (obviously thinking while typing here and don't know where the backspace key is), but we'd have to be good about sticking to a plan.

I agree 100% - each episode will have a focus, whether it be 40k/fantasy in general, specific army tactics, reviews of codices, etc, so that we don't get bogged down.

So I've been looking into ways to get all our voices down on magnetic tape (that's how it works still, right) and I see one of two options: we either all meet at one place and record or we set up a time and make a skype call and record from the comfort of our own bathrooms. I think the latter would be better since it requires a smaller monetary investment; each person that wishes to be a part just needs to get a non shitty computer mic.
We need to first set up a time that we can all get on skype to record. Then, before that date, we need to set up an outline or something of what we want to talk about. If we can get this going quickly, the first episode could be a brief introduction of each caster (where they're from, occupation, hobby background, etc) and then a breakdown of your experiences at the rock-con; talk about the games you guys had, the venue in general, and and complaints / compliments you had of the event.

USB microphoneJust did a quick search for a USB microphone and found this to be pretty cheap and halfway decent. I'll start working on some show notes this evening since I'm a loser and have nothing better to do, I'll also start looking into audio recording software, does anyone have any experience with audacity? Let's also set up a date and time to record. I just talked to Jack and he volunteered to whip up a logo. As for the name I was thinking something groundbreaking like the brohammer podcast. Let's do this, fuckers.

so i don't know if you looked into it already, there is a forum out there with the brohammer name, which was started before ours. We may want to avoid using any name already affiliated with another group. (just to avoid any unwanted poo flingings)
