Tonight I recorded the 3rd episode of Letters to the President: Dear George podcast. This episode is a post-election report card for GWB. A few days after this year's election and a year after winning his second term in office, we thought it'd be nice to go back in time and look at some of the letters we received shortly after last year's election.
Tonight's recording could turn out to be the best or the worst of the series so far. Weekend before last I holed up in my house to take advantage of the 2 free days of Pro Tools Videos tutorials that came with my Mbox. I've learned a little about alot of the features of ProTools and I'm really jazzed about trying them out. Many of you have commented that the sound is a bit low on earlier episodes. I'm pretty sure we won't have that problem this time around. The downside is that I inadvertantly left my kick-ass Audio Technica condenser mic at home. We ended up using omnidirectional conference mics. The mics were, thankfully, pretty hot. I even peaked a coupla times so I'll have to figure out how to fix that. I'm editing tomorrow after guitar class and will hopefully post by Wednesday morning. So stay tuned. I'm also working on a promo to submit to other podcasts. This little 30 second vignette is going to be alot of fun. I'll get to play more with background music and we used alot of different voices to read some of the excerpts from letters we used. Once done I'll be able to submit to The Daily Source Code with Adam Curry. Adam has alot of listeners so I'm hoping a little airtime with him will boost our listenership. We've currently got about 100 listeners which isn't bad considering we haven't really done much to promote it outside of friends and family.
There's more great news on the L2P front too. We're now in Itunes. Yay! You can find our podcast in Itunes and subscribe by going to the Podcast section of the Music Store, search for Letters to the President, Dear George, or even my nomenclature and our podcast will come up. From there just click subscribe. You can then set your Itunes to check for recent episodes everytime you open it and then download said episodes.
I figure we need about 10,000 listeners before the Money People really start taking notice. We are 1% there.
So come on people! Stick me in your Ipod and listen to what you and your neighbors have to say to our President.
