Music

The power of semantic media wiki compels you to look at: List of artists and played songs

CreativeCommons

Please add only artists, not single albums. In a second step you should then select specific tracks and add them to a show. See RadioShow1 for an example. Please make sure we have the right to play that music. Mail the musicians if you're unsure about the licensing.

Preparations - a Guideline

Before the Show

A good preparation on the Topic that will be discussed is of utmost importance as the moderator of the moment will need to ask Questions on the various topics.

Gloomy answers without facts aren't really interesting for the Listeners (too complex answers neither, so balance it)

During the show we will need a way of communication. A piece of paper and a black marker are ideal.

Also handy if you want to note something down you don't want to forget.

Write down keywords, NOT entire phrases. Believe us it will only confuse you and you will start stalling and people will notice you read off a sheet of paper.

Mic check

check, check Mic? Dude, is that thing on?

Yep and you've #failed on national radio :)

A few tips about becoming a Radio Star (sorry Eldoradio, if you claim rights on that so be it)

Speech

If you speak into a Mic be yourself. Speak normally. Due to the nature of our program you can talk to the moderator as if you would know him for years. No special intonation needed, no grand-ducal form has to be applied, be yourself (or practice)

You don't need to yell at the Mic, with as little as one fist away from it you will be heard loud and clear. Also try and keep the same distance from the Mic at all times (otherwise Leveling your voice will annoy the operator)

Articulation is very important, you can practice this by exaggerating pro-noun-ci-ation but do this during dry runs otherwise you sound like broken speech synthesizer.

Practice

Should 'yourself' be: extremely shy or absolutely CRAZYYYY - try and practice in front of a mirror a few line until you get the drill and feel confident enough (have cooled down)

Moderation

It seems at least one person has to moderate the talkers (think of it as a switch board)

If ALL speak together (full-duplex) #fail will occur.

So everyone needs to wait her turn. But you can time yourself and maybe sync (via eye-contact or paper-sheet) with the current-speaker and add to the coversation. (This is basically where it differs a bit from a regular conversation between pals)

Songs

Playing relatively unknown songs? Don't just stop at that. Tell a little something about the artist and his song. Where's the artist from? How does he create his music? What year is the song from? Has it inspired any other songs? Has it been on a movie soundtrack? What license does it use? (CC?)

After the Show

Once the show is over make sure you have a Backup of the entire show so we can put it online in our Podcast Archive

Keep in mind that commercial songs will have to be removed from the podcasts though!

If the show needs to be cut, encode it at 256 kb/s with CONSTANT BITRATE, as otherwise Germain cannot properly use his toolset which does not support VBR.

When encoding for the podcast: use the artist, title and date flags! (is there a podcast genre now? --Tschew 08:02, 1 October 2009 (UTC))
