So.. What's the Dealie? *FAQ*!

- Alright .. since when has this place been here? what is this place?

ThIS is the community base for ANYTHIng related to Zelda Universe' official community podcast! =D
besides any other productions the ZUBC might work on and release! ^___^

- SoOoOOo.. what's in the podcast?

All sorts of things! A monthly news roundup of the most important happenings, a fixed interview slot each month with a renowned respected member, ZU Highlights, rants, chats, talking points - and discussions regarding all sorts of forum happenings and topics that have featured within the past month around the forums


- Wait, so .. only ZUBC staff are allowed to contribute stuff? :<

Heck no!
I WELCOME ALL SUGGESTIONS AND RECORDED IDEAS FROM MEMBERS! :>
Think you have a winning entertaining idea for a wee segment? a little creative drama perhaps? a song? poem for ZU? ANYTHING? record it and send it my way! make sure that it is no longer than 3 minutes however ^_______^

- Alright.. so who ARE the ZUBC staff at the moment?


Galedeep is the Godfather of this whole project
Myself am the Producer/Director and Content manager,
Hombre de Mundo is co-Director
Asci, Link and Liah are our most esteemed Hosts!
Margar and Aniday are our lovely Editors
Dom is my right hand man and our backup recorder
Roscoe Rhodes is our News Man
Selah is out Beneath the ZU Spotlight Reporter

We then have members who contribute regular/semi regular segments like:

Cody and his infamous Rants!
Big Bro Davidia and his heartwarming Fireside Chats
Power Shot contributing with his Fantastical stories of .. I'll need to go back and check on the title again :<
Future with his beautiful Playing with Sayings

- Groovy! I don't have an idea for a programme but can I want to lend my voice to this! Can I? pleasepleaseplease?

Sure!
Send me a sample of your voice talking and answering this same basic question we used to find our hosts: "What do you like/dislike about ZU? and why?"
That way, I'll have you in my mental directory of possible voices if and when I have a segment idea but no one to voice it for me ^__^

- Hmmm... ok.. what if I don't have any huge suggestions for programmes but just want to give a wee heads up about something that happened during the week that might be cool to mention in the news Section or something?

that's fantastic!
If you have anything you feel is worthy of news, post it in DIUM's news thread,
and if you have a suggestion or recommendation for Highlights for the month, post so in Selah's Beneath the ZU Spotlight thread ^____^

Any more questions?

- Uhm..

Great! ^______^


-WAIT! I have another one! what's with all the strange prefixes in thread titles?

Ahaa, clever personage that you are! :>
the tags are as follows:

[Pods] - if the thread is referencing content FROM the podcast itself
[VT] - if it's just a voice thread - a voice thread is one where the thread is based on members replying to one another using VOICE! ^-^
.. uhm.. I'll add any other tags as I think of them :<


(feel free to ask more questions if you have them)

Wii Code: Well done, you put the mouse over the Wii icon! SSBB Code: I has SSBB! PM me if you'd like a match. Phantom Hourglass Code: *can't be bothered to get PH out and put code in* Mario Kart DS Code:  Yes, I also have this...PM for a race! Metroid Prime: Hunters Code: I have this too, PM me if you really want the FC Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Code:  You guessed it...I has this also. PM for wi-fi! Animal Crossing DS Code:  No, I don't have it. DO NOT PM for nonexistent FC!
We're working on it, trust me. It takes a while to get the basic premise and routine figured out, but once we get the hang of it, the podcast is here to stay.

Several different terrible things have happened to hold the whole thing back, such as DIUM traveling to America, Asia traveling to Libya, us losing all our concentration, having to re-record several times due to the recordings being too quiet, and these setbacks leading to the news becoming dated. These are.. Not too great of events. We're most definitely working on it, though.

It's nearly done, correct? My sources said it was.

My source was namely that I got access to Podcom for a short time and I read about it there. But my access is gone now.

Just to let everyone know, Heretic-Gamer has been thinking about making a podcast since day 1, so if we do decide to make one, it isn't because we "stole ZU's idea".

And I'm not claiming they stole the idea from us either. We never told people we wanted to make a podcast, there's no way ZU would have known.

We probably won't end up making one.

That pretty much sums up on my ambitions for creating a podcast.

I think, but do note know for sure that podcasts work on any Mp3 device, including therefore your computer as well as any other MP3 player you might have.

I would imagine so. Seeing as this podcast is being put together, (or at least edited) in mp3 format then I would think you can download it to an ipod.

Originally, yes, but the term stuck, so they're still called that. It's going to be available in an mp3 format for download, also for streaming if Scott or any other higher-ups let it be so.

Could the mp3 also be zipped? I'd most certainly appreciate being able to download it within a day.

The podcast is disturbingly long, and bandwidth usage of streaming something that big is...staggering. But we'll see on that.

(And non-streamed I'd put in a .zip)

I'm not sure about iTunes, but you can definitely get it here on ZU for free. In fact, there's a thread about it in the GCC where you can download it. (Actually, I'm not sure, but there might a link to it here in ZU Comm Works too)

EDIT: Here's a link to the thread which has it - http://www.zeldauniverse.net/forums/...ing-zcast.html
