New Pineapple Radio Forum

Hey, there is no actual forum/message board for this podcast. We have a twitter and now a facebook page for now, so, 1 thing at a time. But our friends over at Pineapple Radio have set up a forum Here to chat about Psych, their podcast and other things.

There is the Psych USA Network forum of course, but their forum seems maybe a bit more in-depth? I dunno. But I certainly am going to go there off and on to chat about Psych as well as on the USA Network one.

Season 5 Episode 4 Chivalry Is Not Dead...But Someone Is

Okay, I want to just mention that I state this is the 3rd episode of the season, when obviously it is not, being the 4th. I guess whose counting? In catchup-mode as we are, the numbers slip my mind at times.

Also the faint microphone signal of course at times, especially for a few minutes early on is a problem, that I've decided to at least try and alleviate. Either we'll be passing 1 microphone back and forth, I'll be purchasing another identical mic to the 1 that has a stronger signal, or possibly 2 more "pro-audio" mics that the external soundcard I have has as inputs for that I've never used. How spendy those are? I'm not sure, but hopefully not outrageously.

Also 1 note that I just posted on twitter. Given the obvious similarities with names and things with "Psych Podcast" with Pineapple Radio, we have decided to try and change at least part-of our name to "Psychic Crapfest" or maybe "Psychic Crapfest (A Psych Fans Podcast)" (or "Psychic Crapcast" perhaps). "Psychic Crapfest" of course coined by Lassiter in the Season 4 10th Episode titled You Can't Handle This Episode, and in fact in re-listening to it, John actually mentions that being a cool/funny phrase, so it kind of fits our podcast in a lot of ways.

The actual name/url/registered already, may change if it makes sense, especially if it doesn't require much with this blog, facebook, twitter, etc.

In recounting:
-37 podcasts (for 39 episodes) have been recorded
-21 uploaded
-16 still need to be
-21 podcasts (presumably) for 21 episodes (from every season) are still in the works

I also shouldn't forget, on PineappleRadio's next podcast, you should hear me as a guest in part of it. Hopefully it comes out well, as I'm rather excited and curious to hear it. And hopefully the same will work for this podcast at some point. I wasn't even aware Skype had a recording option until they explained that to me, lol.

A few notes

Okay 1st off, especially seeing the success Pineapple Radio it appears has had with their facebook activity, I finally got around to setting up a page for this podcast on Facebook.

PsychFanPodcast Page on Facebook

and to add to that, I have been trading messages on twitter and email with Claudia from Pineapple Radio and it sounds like the crossover/guest appearance thing may happen, pretty soon as well. I still need to check my pc's status with Skype of course.

And speaking of Skype, I believe the last and maybe only time I used it was with that Kyle XY podcast I was on. It might be worth sharing that (I hope the folks who made it don't mind) here sometime soon.

A Sticky/soundbyte may be put up on this blog, and perhaps multiple clips at some point. At this point, there is 1 in particular that I think kind of needs to (even though it doesn't involve Psych only, specifically).

Of course the new episode is tonight, and catchup for me is imminent. But with soundcloud being a breeze, I don't see how putting up an assortment of finished-but-never-shared (or shared a few years ago but not available now), older recordings should happen here, any day or hour now.

Season 5 Episode 2 "Feet Don't Kill Me Now"

Okay, this episode, I must warn, co-host John has his microphone capture his breathing more than that may be desired. That is why I have hesitated to even share this. But not everyone cares/notices/ and listens through headphones like I do.

Also a couple of notes.

1) Well it has come to my attention that, as we once suspected, there is now another Fan-Made Psych Podcast.
Pineapple Radio
Pineapple Radio on twitter

The Psych_USA twitter posted something about a podcast not being an *official* podcast and no affiliation with the USA Network, and so silly me, I figured they were referring to this one. But, in the process, they became aware of Ours as well, which I thought they knew about it, especially since I have posted under the screen-name "PsychPodcast" on the Psych Message Board. But these things can get confusing I suppose.

But welcome to Pineapple Radio. I listened to just a few minutes of their 1st podcast and liked what I heard. One big difference, it appears they are all female. And it also appears they have a bit more of a following already. They use Skype and are presumably all located in various parts of the globe (1 of the people talking is from Amsterdam I thought she said).

But, I guess 1 thought that crossed my mind. If they use Skype, perhaps we could do some kind of cross-over or guest spots on eachothers podcasts. Of course that kind of traces back to how this whole thing started. I was a guest on a podcast for the tv show "Kyle XY" the Spring of 2007 (May I recall) and it got me motivated to create one for this show.


The other thing to include here is the lack of podcasts. I've had more (seemingly constant) issues with the software. And time. Miranda and John can't always come over and truth be, I'm still 2 soon to be 3 episodes behind sadly. But the last attempt to do one with Miranda, the Audacity software, in an attempt to be able to rip audio, had it's settings change on me. And I couldn't get them back. I eventually did, and WROTE DOWN i believe how they are required to be set up to work.

Using the "Mobile Pre" on all Mic Input and Speaker Outputs on 3 different places with Audacity and my Soundcard itself.

Plus we've had some nastily hot weather the past few weeks with little desire to commute anywhere. But with the cooling upon us and the other issues hopefully not returning, over the next month or 2 the rest of Season 5.0 should be made and made available.

And the fact is, many older episodes I promise to share rather soon, especially given it seems between fileserve and this soundcloud sites, both seem like good options in streaming and downloading.
