Check out an interview with Julien in this week issue of Hour. Not sure i am alright with the quote about me but hey, i’ve got something else to do.
Indie rock and then some from a hip, web-savvy girl who calls the Plateau home
I call Earth home, dear.
Since the Iriver was not compatible with my powerbook, i have to find another small, handy, cheap but good device to record audio (from live shows and interviews).
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Hey kids, TV is definitely out. Four Eyed Monsters is one of my favorite vlog – i honestly much prefer watching these guy than turning my cable TV on. What’s wrong?
Blogging gave written medias the worse headaches ever (circa 2002-2003). Podcasting made us realize how commercial radio is poor, and that there is a demand for some new kind of audio content (circa 2004-2005). Video blogging (also called Vlog) is there since some months now, and people are creating pieces that will, or are in fact, directly competing with TV (circa 2006). Changes are to be expected. If i would be a big player in the media industry, i would:
1. stretch and breath deeply;
2. pick up the phone, or google, and quickly get in touch with some uber-geek or someone who ‘gets’ my net generation – the one who barely watch TV, read newspapers or listen to radio – so to explain them what the heck is going on;
3. stretch and breath again, close my eyes and jump in.
iTunes now allows customers to leave a comment on podcasts. You need to have an iTune account though. Here’s my show, subscribe or leave a comment 
Is the iRiver still a good buy for recording interviews and live shows? I am in need of such cheap device before leaving.
Some national newspaper is doing (yet another) article about podcasting and i need to know the following from my listeners:
1 – Which band(s) did you discovered from my podcast for which you bought something from (cd, itunes, tshirt, show ticket, …)?
2 – Which artist that i played on my show would you say was a life changing experience (ok, or close to be) for you?
You can post your answers as a comment to this post or mail it to me at m-c (at) mcturgeon.com
Just as i gave an interview about podcasting this morning, someone pointed me to a Wired article about women in podcasting. Seems like the Portable media expo which took place last week was filled by… men:
“What she found at the conference was a world overwhelmed by male voices and male exhibitors. Malley said she didn’t experience any other incidents she perceived as sexist, but she was nonetheless struck by the dearth of female faces. Just 15 percent of the 2,000 attendees were women (…)
Leighton said he believes the male skew is largely due to the newness of the medium and the fact that many of the most popular podcasts focus on, uh, podcasting.”
Why why why… Are women ‘followers’ in new web technologies? Will this stay like that forever? Looking around, i dont know that much of female podcasters…
on Tuesday, November 29. All infos are here, sign up if you want to attend!
Les auditeurs du podcast de Bandeapart.fm s’identifient, assez rigolo à voir. Question : y a t-il des filles dans la salle?
Alex just recorded his third podcast. He was invited by me and Julien when we did the interview for The Gazette in august, and as one of our listener he joined us in the recording of the podcast we did just after the interview (listen to the podcast interview here). In his second podcast he talks about his experience during this interview.
Quite happy to announce that i have made a deal with bonsound, Dare to Care and Saboteur Records who granted me permission to play their stuff in my podcast. This mean you’ll soon be able to hear Champion, Gwenwed, Le Nombre, Malajube, Les Georges Leningrad, Sunny Duval, Les Breastfeeders, and many more on my show. Stay tuned.
bonsound stuff is available online : link to bonsound online store.
Someone said: Odeo shipped beta Create tools to all existing users today.
At Odeo, we see podcasting as many things. Beyond just being a replacement for radio, it can be a great way to communicate and share within a limited group of people. Today we added a feature that allows you to share your audio with people in your Odeo or email contacts, without putting it in a channel. Also? At the end of this short audio message there’s some information for Odeo members who joined before today.
Biz and Ev Have A Casual Message for You
Bonjour, Merci pour ce chouette podcast. Un petit commentaire que j’espère constructif : le niveau audio entre les commentaires parlés et les pièces musicales est très variable… ce qui fait que je dois monter le volume de mes écouteurs entre les chansons et le baisser en catastrophe quand la musique commence.. Merci encore, Vincent
Cher Vincent!
merci pour le commentaire, j’aime beaucoup quand mes auditeurs prennent la peine de se manifester. Volume de mon podcast : je sais, c’est un problème que la pluspart des podcasters ont sur mac, le volume du microphone interne étant très bas. La solution serais je crois d’avoir un meilleur micro, chose qui n’arrivera pas de si tôt étant donné que je fais ce podcast gratuitement et ne suis pas rémunérée (du moins pas encore).
m-c
ps : il y a toujours possibilité de faire un don à la fondation du podcast qui sonne bien si le coeur vous en dit.
