First non-meta blog post in a long time!
Tonight, at 9, a classmate of mine has set up a Talkshoe show for the classmates to chat about whatever we feel like, hoping that we are interesting enough to engage more than moms. In any case, you can download the thing when it’s done as a real podcast. For the real details, I just copied her blog post for you:
While poking around the intraweb to find phone-post blogging applications, I came across TalkShoe, which is a new community podcasting site that basically lets you set up an online radio talkshow, except you could also use it to live audio blog with a bunch of other people, record a conference or class, or vent your frustrations about Governor Palin with a group of strangers (or friends) on the internet immediately after her latest TV interview (ahem).
To test it out, I have set up a weekly “talkshow” for Sunday nights at 9p called “MIT Media Nerds”. The first “episode” will be 30 minutes, and I’ve recruited some fellow CMS nerd compatriots to call in, so I won’t be talking to myself…although any TalkShoe users presently on the site can also choose to call in when the episode is live. How can I participate, you ask?
On Sunday at 9p, you can either call 724-444-7444 (call ID 26622) and start talking, or go to http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/26622 and start writing in the chatroom, or talking from your computer mic, either as a guest or registered user. Friends abroad, you can also call in via Skype (but in order to use Skype, you have to download TalkShoe’s voice app for free, so you might as well just go online). If you’re too busy to call in, fear not! Each episode will be archived as a podcast on this and other sites.
What will we be talking about? I dunno. Odysseus, video games, politics on YouTube, the latest George Clooney film, whatever. Call and find out!
Ta-da!
