The Metal Observer Forums

TMO as now ventured into the world of podcasting.

Last thursday (July 27), after wondering for a few weeks on what could TMO do to improve and be more out there, I had the idea of podcasting!
After 16-18 hours straight on the internet, and a major brain fried, we have our first podcast done and it will be online tomorrow (Aug. 1)!!!

Don't forget to check this out!

Excellent! Can't wait to hear it!

I'm tuned in!

Yes, "The Metal Observer" is introducing a brandnew feature - our very own podcast! Click on the RSS button to subscribe!

The first ever edition is featuring an exclusive audio interview with Calgary-based VERBAL DECEPTION as well as two tracks off their brand new album "Aurum Aetus Piraticus"! Listen in for more details on future podcasts!

Any comments on the podcast guys?

Ok no comment I guess... But we did get over 2000 download in one week so I think we are doing good.

We have a new podcast available with music only on the main age of the site so go ahead and download!

It's interesting to try this out. I have installed the "juice" podcatcher software. The other programs I looked at, had many features I didn't want. The download of the interview somehow failed. Probably a problem on my side.
Now I'm listening to the show. The first song was great and now I'm hearing the second song.

With the earlier streaming, I could tune in and didn't have to wait until completion of the download. However, this way I can listen at convenient times, which isn't bad either.

Is that Alex talking ?

Thanks for providing this nice service. In the long run I can imagine, that this will become an established and popular feature. I was just a little confused, because you named the feed "VerbalDeception" like the interview instead of TMO podcast or something.

Wow, that is a huge number.

Now, I've listened to the whole transmission and it was very entertaining. :headbangdevil:

Do I have to change the name of the feed everytime now, when you come up with a new episode? I saw on the TMO mainpage, that you have used a different url, than before with the interview. I thought the idea was, that the feed url remains the same for each episode, so i don't have to reenter it every time in the newsreader.

Yeah we haven't figured that much out yet (how to kee it to the same link), but if you have a podcastcatcher it should find it through the first subscription

Yes, it is me babbling along there and if you have any info as to how to keep the same link with still keeping the older casts alive, feel free to let us know!

I gotta do this on my Ipod, TMO never ceases to amaze me. Keep on mettalin! :headbangdevil:

I REALLY enjoy the TMO podcast. I've always been a big fan of Alex's interviews, since he has such interesting questions. I also enjoy the variety that the music only podcasts bring to the table. I can't wait for the next interview!

Good job, both Val and Alex!

Cheers

Mark

How did the Deicide interview turn out? This one is for Val, or any other who might have heard it.

Due to delayed emails we missed it but we re-scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. So it still will happen at least.

Here it is! The new podcast is on the main page ready to download.
