Preparation Meetings
These preparation meetings should be realized by the hosts of the show and this at least 2 times a month, thus a meeting per show. Songs, topics, important news, events and questions should be fixed here for the upcoming shows. It is thought to offer everyone a platform to come in contact with this medium and regulary 'event'.

Getting involved?
If you got a topic that you want to promote by all means, Lët'z Hack! is one of the platform offering you the possibility to do so. Just add the topic to the list and talk to one of the moderators of the show and very soon we'll be on Air together.
Being afraid of the mike and the people listening to the show is okay - everyone already got this feeling, but with the routine it'll disappear. We have the possibilities to do a pre-recording of the show or to do it live on Air - whatever fits you most. Bringing guests is not a problem, neither having a "mobile" interview with them - not in the walls of Radio Ara, but with portable recording devices in the outside world.
Music
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)
Good practice for moderators
- try to give a short overview of the topic before your "guests" get into it a little deeper
- after an information block, it's always good to summarize the things that were said and give a little outlook of what will come next (after the next song, for example)
- imagine your listeners are blind and have no arms. The only sense they can use is hearing. So you need to guide them trough the rough sea/the labyrinth of information that lies before you. Fortunately, if you are well prepared, you might have a "roter Faden"/map you can hold on to navigate the labyrinth/the rough sea.
- two person moderation is fun. (A: An dir lauschtert Lët'z hack um Radio ARA op de Frequenzen 103,3 B: an 105,2 an um livestream op ara.lu) But don't overegg the pudding and do it too often.
- Don't use the same boring phrase over and over. (Dir sidd ageschalt um Radio ARA op de Frequenzen 103,3 an 105,2 an lauschter d'Emissioun Lëtz Hack. An daat do waar ...) Try to mix up these sentences in order to make the show more colorful.
- However, catchphrases may be fun.
- Moderation should be personal. Be yourself and not the OMGLIFEISSOAWESOMEANDWEAREPLAYINGONLYTHEGREATESTHITSFORYOU guy of your local commercial station or the we are now listing to a 1824 recording from the London Philharmony Orchestera of Bachs 2nd Symphony state funded social cultural station guy.
- Don't talk about technical problems too long. Often it's better not to say something than explaining it all. However, if you made a big mistake, you should excuse yourself, blame it on the computer in the studio or the microwaves from the kitchen underneath and carry on.
- If you already know the topic of the next show, announce it!
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 on our LetzHack page.
Keep in mind that commercial songs will have to be removed from the podcasts though!
Encoding
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. The replay gain option calculates the volume for radio transmission (AFAIK). (The recording device in Studio 2 is set to limit the recording to -2.0 dB, so it would be a good idea to amplify the recording to 0dB.)
-$ lame --replaygain-accurate -h -b 256 --cbr in.wav LetzHack_epX_2010mmdd.mp3
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))
-$ oggenc in.wav -o LetzHack_epX_2010mmdd_podcast.ogg -d 2010 -a syn2cat -t "Lët'z Hack! episode X - title of episode" -$ lame -V 7 -v -h --ty 2010 --ta syn2cat --tt "Lët'z Hack! episode X - title of episode" in.wav LetzHack_epX_2010mmdd_podcast.mp3
You can also use dir2ogg to convert mp3 files to ogg.
Tagging ogg files is a bit of a hassle though:
~$ echo "ARTIST=syn2cat Hackerspace > ALBUM=LetzHack Radioshow > TITLE=Let'z Hack episode X - title of episode > COMPOSER=You > DATE=2010-mm-dd" | vorbiscomment -w in.ogg LetzHack_epX_[date]_podcast.ogg
Importing
If you have shell access and the necessary amount of time (otherwise ask somebody else), upload the podcast.
- Uploading files:
~ # for file in LetzHack_epX_yyyymmdd_podcast.{mp3,ogg}; do scp $file user@hackerspace.lu:/var/spool/radioshows/; done
- Those two files will be automatically imported into the wiki during the next hour. You can then proceed with the following step.
- Go to the imported files and add the following properties (mind the filetype!) in order for the files to appear in our podcast feeds:
[[Is PodcastFile::true| ]] [[Is FileType::ogg| ]] [[Has Topic::<topic of the show>]]
- Then, add the podcast filenames and release date to the wiki page semantic info of the episode you've just worked on. (use a previous show as your guide for the correct syntax).
- Finally, clear the cache for the Lët'z Hack page: Clear NOW
