Almost finished the episode now, and you guys are talking about women in podcasting.

You mentioned Super Future Friends podcast. What is some more detail on this? I know it is a Legion of Superheroes podcast.

Any one else listen to these guys (girls)?

I actually like the background music. It gives the podcast more of a richness than when people are just talking. It especially works when you guys are doing the review section for either the Star Wars comics or the Star Trek reviews. I agree that sometimes it can be overused, but if it is subtlely in the background, I feel it enriches the podcast.

Okay...as usual, I'm about a year behind everyone else starting up this whole "podcast" thing, but I've finally gotten around to making one. I've been figuring out Audacity, and I think I've got the recording/editing basics down (the shift-record function has saved me from having a dozen or more tracks). I've got the basic format for the show down as well. I'm using libsyn as my hosting site, and I already have the promo for the show posted. What I'm looking for is some advice about editing the HTML on the libsyn site to work with what I need. Right now, I've just got a basic template that libsyn provides as podcast's homepage. I'd like some info on how to post images (mostly scans of the covers and assorted images from the comics) as well has how to place them on the webpage post. If anyone could give me some pointers, I would greatly appreciate it, as HTML code is like reading Chinese to me. If you have chatted with me on Skype, I should be on Saturday and Sunday night, if you actually want to talk about this. Thanks Scott and Chris for giving me the podcasting bug, and an extra-super-special-ginormous thank you to Chris for coming up with the banner to the podcast. When you see it, I hope your reaction will be the same as mine...joyous laughter!

We've needed a Guy Gardner podcast for a while.

Sweet! I'll definitely be checking out a podcast about Guy Gardner.
"I believe in Rock And Roll!"

"The Gods you worship are steel,
At the altar of rock 'n' roll you kneel.
A slave who forever rocks,
Is chained in the devil's locks,
And slain by the bloody axe I wail!"

Thank you all, folks. I am learning a lot about editing the show on my own, but with all of the podcasts that are on this feed to guide me, I at least have the format down pretty well. I'm sounding a bit dry when just trying to banter on without any notes, but I'm hoping that will change with experience. Unfortunately, something screwed up in Audacity, and I've lost a lot of the first show. I was hoping to have it up by this Friday, but it might be delayed a bit. But again, I really appreciate the support!

I definitely need to try doing that for the next podcast I do. For this first one, I pretty much edited it on the fly, starting with the opening title and opening song on one track, which I used autoduck in Audacity to lower the volume at the point I started the podcast proper. The big issue I have is that I am a horrible train of thought speaker. The opening monologue was filled with cuts due to me losing my way and heading into a total "Duuuuuuuhrrr" moment. I'm chalking that up to just being self-conscious, which I hope will diminish the more I do this.

But, with that being said, I was able to finish editing it all and getting it out on . I still need help with the site, but I might see if I can hit up one of my friends in town who is an IT guy and hosts his own website to shore things up over there. Again, thanks for all the encouragement, and thanks to Scott and Chris for the impetus to do a podcast.

Joe -- Plus, I'm on iTunes, for all you Apple users too :D -- Anthrax

Speaking of which could you throw that Iron Man promo on to the show now that that show has started up?
