Cubing Podcast

[Caedus]

I'm not sure if anybody would be interested, but my friend and I are starting a cubing podcast called "Cubing Weekly" all about speedsolving the rubiks cube and other puzzles. It's not professional, and neither I or my friend (Cuber95) are amazing cubers. We hope our "average joe"ness will help us relate to the audience, and hopefully topics that we are interested in, other cubers will be too.

Just go and check it out, you can find it either on iTunes when you search for "Cubing weekly", or at our website at http://www.cubingweekly.com/.If you've listened to it please post feedback, and if you like it, we are needing guests. If you are interested in being a guest, you can either post here, or email us at [email protected].

Either way, suggestions are welcome, constructive criticism only please, and please tell me if you like it.

Thanks,

Caedus

UPDATE:

You can find Cubing Weekly on iTunes here

It seems like a good idea, it's still downloading from iTunes but I'll edit this post/make a new post after I've listened to it. Have you thought of having guest's? Like talk to famous cubers & interview them? It would be a pretty good idea in my opinion.

 

[Caedus]

Yeah, I mention in the post that we want to try to get some guests on. Erik Akkersdijk would be the dream guest, but we'll have pretty much anyone who knows anything about puzzles on.

 

[Thomas09]

Yeah, I'm listening to the intro or like the first five minutes now. It's pretty good, but have you actually planned out what you're talking about? It sounds a bit improvised and with you playing the cube is a bit distracting, but if you can work off my criticism, then it should work.

Now downloading the rest of the pod cast. Good Work.

 

[Caedus]

Yeah, it was a five minutes notice episode, and we had no planning whatsoever. It was our first recording, so the sound is not very balanced, and I didn't realize how loud my cubing was. But our next episode which we're recording this weekend is kinda a redo which we've been planning all week.
So thanks for the comments, now I have another opinion.

Remember, if you want to be a guest, just ask. All you need is Skype and a free day on the weekend! (I'm REALLY desperate for guests )

Also, how is the music? It's one of the jingles from Garageband and I want to know if you guys like it.

 

[Cyrok215]

Yea, I've been watching.... errr listening to it and you guys are kind of rambling between an introduction & the type a... your audio isn't that great either.

Also sometimes you guys seem to start talking to eachother not really to us or things about stuff we wouldn't know about.

 

[Caedus]

Yeah, the plan this week should fix the rambling between topics, and I'm getting a Snowball mic soon so that should fix the audio. Thanks for the comments.

Anyone want to be a guest? (REALLY REALLY desperate for guests )

[Thomas09]

Umm, yeah I'll try download the whole thing, I'm having some errors getting it.

 

[Caedus]

Hmm... What kind of errors? I just downloaded it off the site and it worked fine. I don't think that streaming works because of limited bandwidth due to budget limitations, but if you right click and save as, it should work.

 

[Thomas09]

When, I download it, it just doesn't appear anywhere. I then try again and now it's not even starting to download.

 

[Caedus]

Try iTunes maybe? If that doesn't work, here's a direct download link: Download(Mediafire)

+1. I'd gladly do it, but I have nothing to contribute.

 

[Caedus]

That's fine really, you don't need to be an exceptional cuber or anything, as long as you don't mind talking about cubing. As they say, "The more the merrier." So if you are interested, we are probably going to record either on Monday or Tuesday, whichever is better for you. And if anyone else is interested, feel free to volunteer.

I'll be a guest, i can talk about learning F2L, I talked to some cubers at a comp once and they said that they still used LBL because F2L was to hard, but it's not, I DID IT!

I could help other discoureged cubers learn F2L and get faster

use tinychat.com
create a room called cubign weekly
And just post a schedule on yours ite

 

[Caedus]

Sure, i'll create a chat room on tinychat and when we start recording will have the chat room and video stream open for everyone to see it live. We will be starting the recording at about 6:30PM PST, 7:30PM MST for more details, go to our website at cubingweekly.com

 

[Novriil]

I'm just listening to it.. one guy is loud and other one is so quiet Also I made an account and now I saw that it does nothing. yay for you. Also you should have this chatroom, live talking and guest who can talk to you from homes.

 

[Caedus]

Yeah, like I mentioned in previous posts the audio is unbalanced, that should be fixed in future episodes. Also we use Skype to communicate so we can have guests from all over the world. As for the accounts on the website, it is still being built as I am hand coding myself so yes, accounts do not do anything as of yet. They will, eventually let you receive notices when a new episode comes out, write reviews, post comments, and access premium content.

We are now broadcasting live if anyone wants to see: http://tinychat.com/ik9mc.
