So THAT'S what's in all those voicemails I get? (no offense to Cody)

I want 4am voicemails

Actually, it's more like 7PM your time... or maybe it was 9PM; I forget which country Cody lives in. (his flag says Australia, but I know that there is a person with that flag who lives in Singapore...)

^ that would be Cody.

Might as well Holic. I'm sure you and Pani could please us with what you get.

I think it's just something he has to work on as getting your voice more prepared for 'recording and presenting' purposes varies from just a regualr conversation.

He had done something else entirely (that I never heard)... but Cody likes to ramble, especially at 4 in the morning his time, and at that time of day, he says the weirdest stuff. What was in the podcast was just an early-morning ramble that he sent to Asia as a Google voicemail, as far as I know. (He had said the same general thing to me, as well, and Asia told me that's where it came from.)

Then the world goes round.

Ok, though I completely appreciate the "clarity" issue and sound quality - I find myself compelled to defend Uncle Cody and his mumbled rants >__>

You see, I want for the Cast to have all sorts of compLETEly different moods and "flavours" -- some sinister, some wacky, some cLAssy and some just plain honest "WTF'ery". I chose that rant of Cody's instead of the one he intentionally recorded for the Cast simply because you CANNOT get something as wEIrd and just ... weIRd xD It was compLETEly different from eeverything on there -- and that you have to strain a bit and frown while listening then just stare at the screen some more in disbelief is pARt of the variety! >_>
I want to keep authentic weirdness in there <.>
..
And you cAN't get something as genuine as that if it was recorded at 4pm, Nathan, no way xD

I think the sound quality could use a little work, at points it was kinda hard to hear what they were saying, and at other points there were some weird pauses, as well as talking too close to the mike. Other than that, nothing else really bothered me.

I thought the length was fine for an amateur podcast. When all the podcasters get more comfortable with what they are doing, then I think the length can be increased, but, I though the length was fine for now.

What I would like to see more? More Future, I really liked his segment, it was really well done. I liked Hombre de Mundo's section, I thought that was well done, the interview was pretty fun to listen to, so I'll look forward to more of that. Oh, and more funny rants (I've always known those crazy Japanese were aliens)

My favorite part of the podcast? Future's part, playing with sayings was awesome.

What does this podcast need? More females.

Woah.. everyone follow Eternal Paradox and Nathan's examples in feedback! >__> that was invaluable and I appreciate you doing a whole consise roundup of feedback for us m'dear =D
Aye, will be talking to Future in ways to expand his segment. His was another flavour that goes unmatched and no one can cover for ^_____^

Maybe with that section, someone else discusses with him on their own personal opinions on the interviews.

The future part was pretty good. Just needed to be expanded on a bit more. But hey, as I have said all along, it was pretty good for your first one, especially when I know most of the people who took part are newer to the podcasting realm.

Thing is, good sir, Hombre spoke to random Swedish people, meaning that the old lady would have spoken in Swedish and so, we couldn't just have her bit on since no one ('part from Swedes =) ) here understanding, and it's an english-speaking Cast for such an audience. Hence why he had to make a summary of what she said ^__^

and talking of which - *clears thoat*
This is a Call-out to any people in different countries interested in "Reporting" from where they are with regards to on-field work and speaking to the public similar to Hombre De Mundo - get in touch! ^__^

Also .. regarding your last bit
Uhm.. would you bellieve me if I said that when we jUSt started out, I didn't have any idea what is meant by a podcast? >_> *remembers EA's disbelief and horror* xD

What I would like is a few things --
1. Examples of recordings to check vocal clarity etc --or-- join in on one of the frequent (almost daily xD) chat skype sessions so we can test/see interaction etc

2. If so, I might want one of you to co-host along with Bret and Connor, therefore having instant more variety throught the Cast and points of view and such. Most radio programmes I listen to have around 3 people, one of which at least is a lady

3. Shik, Hazz and Peefy .. ok, and the chatroom as a whole xD - are great to bounce ideas off of- variety is what we're after, so I wouldn't want the same people doing the exact same things :3 (i.e - weird rants are Cody's fort)
However, if we can check number 1, Alternatively, I can assign you a segment ^___^

I love it.

Not finished yet, still about 15 mins left, but this is amazing, the whole thing is made so perfectly, it almost seems as if I am listning to a radio station.

I think ask an ninja should be replaced with ask a scott...it is much better ;p

Asci and the other guy (Link, right?) rock as presenters...they need thier own radio show...for shiz

I'm getting right back into Skype, so I'll hopefully be in there a lot more. I'm not sure how clear my current mic is, but I'm trying to get a good one in the future. Also, hostinghagkjladjgkabgak.

*turns on computer and logs onto ZU*

Wow! I really never expected this kind of thing to happen. We've got a lot of nice feedback it seems.

Yep, that'd be quite awesome. So if anyone has the guts, just throw me a PM and we'll work something out. So wait, I'm both gonna be co-director and the main dude of a squad of awesome people doing stuff like this?

Seems like I should really keep doing this casual gamer thing

I love all of you. SO much. ;-;

The podcast is supremely awesome. Amazing job =D

And I love Asia's voice, like, a lot.

Sturs need not reply. He'd just find a way to insult me.

Oh, good heavens, no! You're suffering more than enough. I mean, your voice is simply rediculous, and I wouldn't dare making it even worse by insulting you. It's just not like me to insult people for having rediculous voices.



Anyway, I'd like to say that the podcast was very, very awesome, that everybody that worked on it did a splendid job (especially that Sturs fella who has been working so very hard on the background), and that it was a blast to listen to. My only major complaint is that it needs moar Zarah.

Also, Cody's rant was shocking, I am very jealous of Scoot's 3-story cardboard box, Asia has an awesome voice and accent, Hombre de Mundo has a totally bad-ass Swedish accent, Hazz needs to keep Pink Fwuffy Dwagons under his control (which really isn't that hard) and everything Asci has said about the awards is evil subversive Dinnie propaganda and should not be believed and I'm totally not involved in any conspiracy. Also, should Asci mysteriously disappear in the near future it would be a total coincidence. Yeah.




Also, I let my imaginary totally real friend listen to this, and here's what he had to say:



Dear people from the ZCast,

I absolutely hated it. It was rubbish. I hated every minute of it. It is the single worst thing ever made. Every minute of it was torture. I'd banish it to the very deepest pits of hell. It was terrible in every way imaginable. The hosts were lousy, the segments were lousy, the music was lousy, the sounds were lousy, everything about it was lousy. I'd suggest the people working on it to simply stop. Please stop, for all that is right in this world.

Sincerely,
Dr. Baron Wilhelm von Schlieffenhofen II

P.S. Asci's bodily odours smell most unpleaseantly.

*raises hand, reads rest of post, lowers hand* I found a mic I can use with my dad's laptop. Of course, I haven't used it yet so I'm not sure of quality... But of course, as soon as I get the laptop over break, I'll be sure to record my voice. Because I would like to participate. =3

Sturgeon: I thought that last part was from you. Then I read the line above it. XD
