Congratulations and wish you the best! I'm not a podcast guy but I'll set it up in my car if I can.

This one went pretty long, but we're aiming for more commute length episodes.

A big big thumbs up to you guys! It was quite entertaining, engaging, and energetic. I love it.

I swear I know the Chiefs tight end is Jason Kelce. I mean Mama Kelce. I mean Taylor Swift.

Kittle is just so great, I can’t stop thinking about him.

Haha

p.s- @Undisciplined missed his calling not being a late night DJ. Great radio voice and poise. He is the captain. I am just along for the ride.

I thought I was a little stilted on the open, but it got more natural as we went on.

You were right about recording on Mondays being a bad idea. If I had to open tomorrow, the whole episode would just be a profanity filled incoherent tirade.

30 sats \ 0 replies \ @grayruby fwd 13 Oct

It started slow. I should have thought more about what to say about the territory and SN. I thought you did a good job cleaning up for me and then things started to flow a bit better after that.

I didn't get a chance to give it a full listen until this morning. I honestly had no idea what to expect. I am not blowing smoke up your asses (old man expression) when I say you two were great right out of the box. I listen to a lot of podcasts, mostly bitcoin and financial. I'm not as focused on sports as I once was, but I still check in on Islanders podcasts occasionally. The two of you seemed like old pros. You had great chemistry, particularly when you got comfortable and were just shooting the shit about sports. That's what makes a good podcast, IMO. Real conversation.

I think you'll have to decide the right mix for yourself regarding sports/bitcoin/SN, but judging from episode one you had a nice balance.

I hope you stay motivated and work on keeping this going. You both have a lot of potential.

68 sats \ 0 replies \ @grayruby fwd 14 Oct

Thanks Siggy. Agreed. I think it got better when we were just having a conversation about sports like we would here on SN rather than trying to talk about something specifically.

63 sats \ 2 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 14 Oct

Thanks Siggy.

I don’t think we’re going to talk about Bitcoin much more than other sports pods talk about dollars, but it will be our unit of account.

It will be pretty much all sports, with ~Stacker_Sports being our main source for content.

Good idea. I remember listening a lot to the podcast "Linux Unplugged" on fountain about a year and a half ago. Those guys knew nothing about bitcoin, but they gradually talked more and more about getting zapped on fountain,and soon they discovered bitcoin through those zaps.

63 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 14 Oct

For the time being, I'm sure our audience knows just as much about bitcoin as we do. They don't need to hear us try to explain it to them, but they might not be aware of the sports related opportunities to earn some sats that we're going to talk about.

This is fantastic! I'm proud of you two. I just listened to snippets. I have to listen to the whole thing.

Thanks, that reminds me that we should chop up some fountain clips.

85 sats \ 2 replies \ @grayruby fwd 14 Oct

Thanks Siggy. Hopefully it gets a bit better with each episode.

84 sats \ 1 reply \ @siggy47 14 Oct

It's a great idea. As it grows as a freestanding podcast, it will also grow the territory and SN.

That’s the hope.

It sucks that I can't zap on Fountain through the browser.

103 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 13 Oct

I think the browser version is a work in progress. When I started using fountain, I don't think you could even play the episodes on a browser.

Nice, just gave it a follow and will tune in!

What a fantastic surprise I had this morning when I opened SN! I went straight to Fountain and already following you. Listened to the first episode while completing my early walk.
Congrats to both of you! It sounds great!! I hope to keep learning about football , MLB, NBA and so on

Thanks. Another winning week for you in the survivor pool. Could it be our euro football expert will win the American football pool?

Another winning week for you in the survivor pool

It's crazy, though it's becoming more difficult. Yesterday's match was a struggle, only could follow it in the red zone.

Could it be our euro football expert will win the American football pool?

Hahaha! I would consider it the beginner's luck. It's unbelievable I have not been eliminated yet. The good thing is that I am enjoying it and watching the NFL which I have never done before. Still struggling with players though, as I don't know them well.

Undisciplined is like a pro. I am just trying not to make too much of a fool of myself. Haha. Thanks for the kind words. Hopefully it gets a bit better every episode.

86 sats \ 2 replies \ @BitcoinAbhi 14 Oct

No, you are doing great in this episode. I will wait for the next one. Yes no doubt @Undisciplined is doing like a pro.

41 sats \ 1 reply \ @Undisciplined OP 14 Oct

After today, we are both seasoned professionals. I didn't expect such a nice response right out of the gate.

Yes, both of you were doing it like professionals.

Fantastic!

I think this Poadcast is gonna start a new era of more stackers doing Podcasts. I'm already thinking to start one in Hindi for general folks here. There are, I think, still many many people who'll never understand Bitcoin or Stacker News unless they get informed in local language. YouTube and podcasts are filled with price related works but something like you did is rare.

Btw, You forgot to mention the best part here, the fun you had while talking about Cricket pool.

40 sats \ 2 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 14 Oct

I look forward to the Hindi spinoff.

You’re right that we should have made it clear how much fun we had with the cricket pool.

If you do another one, I promise it will get a lot of love from us.

Thanks The Cricket pool is making a come back the next month. :)

@grayruby led the way on territories. It would be fitting for him to lead the way on SN podcasts, as well.

Enjoyed the pod! Just gotta fix the audio. Some cool intro music would be nice. But not bad for the first episode!

120 sats \ 2 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 14 Oct

Thanks!

For the time being, intro music is beyond our technical proficiency (unless @grayruby wants to play it live).

89 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby fwd 14 Oct

I was going to ask you about this. Does clean feed offer any ability to upload another audio file? We can definitely find some music to use.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 14 Oct

Not on the free version. We can start searching for other options. I know there are better ones: i.e. more advanced features.

Pretty cool, good pilot episode. Volume was too low though

50 sats \ 0 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 14 Oct

Thanks.

A little peak behind the curtain: we're recording right after putting our little kids to bed. Eventually, we'll probably want to find a time during the day to record so we can be a little louder.

Thanks. Hopefully it will improve with each episode.
