I know it's been a while since the last podcast. The co-hosts and I have just had life getting in the way, having to unfortunately be adults. So for all of us it is either work, or our personal lives at the moment that is keeping us from putting out the show in a timely manner. So I wanted to give everyone an update.
What we need from the community
- 2 more hosts that can fill in when someone can not make it
- Someone willing to take on the responsibility of editing the show
The first one is pretty straight forward. The second one can be pretty labour intensive. So just to give an example of the amount of stuff that gets cut. Episode 4 which has currently not been edited is 4 hours in length. We try cutting that down to around 1.5 hours or so. As there tends to be tangents onto side topics, who doesn't enjoy a good debate about desktop environments! We try to edit out cursing to keep that to a minimum, and other things.
As you can see the most labour intensive part of the process is the audio editing, which essentially is an all day task. This responsibility would be shared between myself, and the other editor. As the format for the show is twice a month. I would edit one, and the other person would edit the others.
All you need is a decent microphone, fluent English, and a willingness to use Google Hangouts as it's how we record. So if you would like to be a co-host or an editor for the show comment below!

Though I don't know if I'd be up for a 4 hour session, 2-3 hours would probably be my limit ^^;
Does everyone record their audio seperately?

So midnight in summer and 11pm in winter (Austria). As you said it lasts for something about 4 hours which is then really quite late ^^ but I actually could make it work for me. :)
