Radio Show Retooling

[Jim]

I just spoke to Greenie and we decided to actually retool the radio show. We want to set it up so we can take as many calls as we would like. So, at least for the next 2 weeks, no radio show.

And no, it's not just an excuse. We would just blow it off if we want to :)

[Greenguy]

Yeah - I was thinking of doing the show with Jim thru Skype (sp) so that anyone else that has it could "call" in.

So if anyone has any advice, we'd appreciate it :)

Frrrrrrrrunkis!

I have no real input, as usual, but I think that's a pretty nifty idea. |thumb

I can't wait to make my first RAMONE! call. :D

Clothing optional?

[Fonz]

I just bought myself a skype headset. Coincidence? I think not :D

[MrYum]

Greenie and Jim are getting new tools...cool :D

[Preacher]

Mmmm Skype. My newest addiction. Communication takes on a whole new meaning when you video conference. :D

[JackDaniel's]

I just love Skype :D I'm using it since the very first release

You're much more brave than I am, then. :)

Strange, I seem to recall having a picture of you licking my face, not hers. :D

Will you be keeping the zippo clicking sound effects? I think I'd miss those if they were eliminated.

I used Skype to conference in CJ all the way from Australia. When it worked it worked flawlessly. But we did have several times when the connection was choppy.

Make sure the box you have it on and the one you are connecting to are clean of all the spyware bullshit and you might as well do a virus scan. At least the earlier versions of skype seemed to be pretty picky about this.

If you have 2 machines with 2 connections this will work the best. Depending on how "Fat" you have the winamp connection as far as the size the stream combined with a fat skype connection can overrun your connection.

I ended up streaming on the DSL connection as I skyped thru cable and ran it all thru a mixer. As you both know it childs play to have one person on the mic but when you add in the phone component is where you run into the pitfalls.

Oh man, Greenie has the choppiest connection I have ever seen. :)
