  1. Hey guys, I brought this up last tuesday night but I wanted to start a topic mostly to organize stuff for myself. 

     

    I want to start a history podcast that will focus on the Middle Ages and will deal with a number of things including talking about lesser known historical events, trying to clear up myths, and presenting historical theory in a easy to understand way. 

     

    Now I have no idea how to go about this, so I was hoping I could get some input from people who are more tech oriented and those who have podcast experience. Loren mentioned that I should use audacity for editing and I like that it is free. Are there any other options or is audacity the easiest for newb beginners and cheapest? What equipment do I need? obviously a mic, but since I will be talking alone should I look into a headset setup or look for a mic set up like you guys use in Skullandbones? Is there any other equipment that I need that Im not thinking about? And maybe the biggest question, what to I use for hosting? Should I try and create my own website like some of the more well known podcasters or is there something a little more practical for starting out? 

     

    As far as formatting the episodes I was thinking of making them between 15 and 30 minutes long, maybe a little longer for 1 off episodes. I would try and follow a series or a couple of series at a time and release an episode once a week or once every two weeks.

     

    Jim- I listened to the Hardcore history episode you suggested and really liked it. Dan has a really good presence which is understandable because of his radio experience. I like that he includes both primary and secondary quotes and that he mentions prevalent historians by name. What I dont like is how much comparative and speculative history he includes. Ive never liked either of those types of history and they are generally not used by academics for either lectures or books. 

     

    thanks guys

  2. hey guys, time for another update. I am now in my new place and almost entirely unpacked. I am also almost done with my program and am now looking for work so I might have a bunch of free time to work on projects while im looking for a job.

     

    dkieft- hopefully I will make it down to OFCC this year. It will depend on the work situation. But if I do make it down id love to throw together a little event.

     

    i finished another utility truck and buggy. Unfortunately the scale of the buggy is a bit over scaled so it looks a little funky.
