Thank you for your hard work! Let me know if you'd like to talk on Fireside Fedi with me sometime!
I didn't know the creator of Fireside Fedi was here!
If you are on voyager, tag them and never be unaware again LOL
lol wow I hope folks don't follow my ramblings. :-) But I do like Voyager and TY for suggesting!
Some certainly do. I've never been much of a podcast person myself. The closest I follow is the Cody Showdy AKA some more news. but it's a bit more Straight Up Performance than just basic podcast.
I do watch a lot of tech YouTubers. And have done some shows myself. I know the amount of time and effort that can go even into simple ones. They require a lot of passion and drive to produce. And especially for topics like this where there isn't a lot of money in it. It's definitely deserves some respect.
I know I've been considering Reviving an old program myself. If it's worth all the work again.
Oh I absolutely do it for passion. LOVE talking with folks, especially about foss and open platforms. And definitely haven't made really any money. And any money goes to TubeFree or back to the Fediverse somehow. I've definitely spent way more than I've made. Lol
That's how it was DJing for me. I never made a lot of money. But I always enjoyed sharing the music. LOL, perhaps someday I will find someone to pay me to do it. But not everyone can be as lucky as Rodney anonymous. Of course it doesn't hurt that he was famous as well:-)
lots of indie musicians on the fediverse. :-)
Rodney Anonymous being one of them. Well I guess he's not necessarily indy? Though he's definitely not mainstream. Outside of Punk Rock Girl I'm not sure how much else of their catalog got play.. But they are legends up in Philadelphia. Which is where he DJs once a month for ynot radio.
The fediverse provides a platform individuals can completely control if they want. Or at least be free of a lot of unsavory restrictions and associations. And for a punk group like Rodney's, that is even more important.
lol I am here. I'm all in on the Fediverse. ;-) If there's a platform in the Fedi I'm not on, please let me know so I can learn about it! :-D
fireside fedi?
Fediverse centric podcast. I've never watched/listened. But I regularly see episodes through the new que on Lemmy. They even host on peer tube.
TY for linking. :-)
Asking for constructive criticism reasons, is there a reason you don't watch or listen? I've been told my mic quality bothers folk, so working on getting a new setup for that this week hopefully. :-D If you just don't listen because you're not a consumer of that kind of content or just not interested, totally understand. I just thriving on constructive criticism. :-)
You don't always need an expensive microphone. But a pop filter can make a much bigger impact than you would believe. Honestly the thing I see a lot of YouTubers using often that seems to work out quite well are lavalier mics. Not the traditional desktop microphones.
A lavalier microphone attached to a collar or lapel. Is generally outside of the direct path of your voice. So the need for pop filtering Etc is reduced. Though many of them do provide filters for it. Further since they are generally clipped to you the distance between you and them doesn't change much. Meaning that your levels stay much more consistent and even. No leaning away from mic and then back in. And they sometimes have a few less issues with assonance.
That's not even touching the headaches that can be simply capturing footage or streaming in obs. That rabbit hole goes deep. It's also a lot of fun with a lot of opportunity to be creative.
And as I said in my other post I just don't tend to listen to many podcasts at all. I have listened to behind the bastards a little bit in the past, Pod save America a couple times. Even the Retro hour a few times with RMC. But it's just never been something that I have a lot of time available to focus on or desire to. Though I might give it a try.
