Barncast 16 — Grunt grunt, what file?

2006/05/29 in Chores, Fencing, Internet, Knitting, Podcast, Podcasting, travel by andrew | 3 comments

Well, Misty’s out of town this week so we tried to record another double ender. Except it didn’t work, so you get the audio from my end instead. Which means it sounds like Misty’s in a tin can. This weeks podcast covers:

  • Misty’s travels
  • Internet access on the road and at home
  • How not to move the portable fencing
  • Chores alone
  • Misty’s afghan. It’s done after 1.5 years!
  • Send us feed back! gfl@three-elms.com

I hope everyone enjoys the show. As Dave from Chub Creak pointed out to me, we made the top page of the podcast section at yahoo. I don’t know how long it’ll be up, but check it out. Interestingly enough it hasn’t really changed the download stats. I dunno if that says anything about us and our listeners, or more about yahoo?

I hope everyone has a good week. Next week Misty will be back and we’ll have a more normal podcast, but maybe we’ll have it outside? What did you think?

Barncast 15 — The Grumpycast

2006/05/21 in Events, Garden, Internet, Knitting, Pigs, Podcast by andrew | 3 comments

Well maybe you can tell, Misty and I recorded the podcast late Saturday night after we both had a long day so we’re a tad bit grumpy with each other. Oh well, that’s life. So no guessing about where the title came from. :)

A late arrival was the new bumper from Mark at Hoosier Geeks. I have to work in some background music, but we couldn’t stop laughing when we heard them.

In this weeks episode:

  • Hello to John
  • New Internet connection progress
  • Focus on pigs
  • Animal news
  • Misty’s afghan she’s knitting
  • Fiber festival
  • Garden update

I hope everyone enjoys it. As always we appreciate any and all feed back. Either as comments on this entry, though the contact form, or emailed to gfl@three-elms.com.

Barncast 13 — The rough cut

2006/05/07 in Events, Garden, Goats, Internet, Podcast, Podcasting by andrew | 10 comments

This weeks episode is a little different. Instead of going through the entire episode taking out 20 minutes worth of audio out I didn’t do any real editing at all. I just mixed in the audio clips and everything else is raw from the barn. In reality I ran out of time to edit it much, but I also thought it would be interesting to see what the feedback was like. If you like it, or if you don’t, let us know. Do you want more like this? More edited? Can you tell the difference? Is it too long?

There’s also a second audio file, I hope it doesn’t show up in the RSS feed. It’s a super compressed (11.025khz, mono, 16kbit/sec), aka low quality, for our listeners on dialup. It’s only 6.3megs vs 26megs for almost the entire hour long podcast. If you like it, or find it useful let us know!

This weeks show:

  • Hello to all our friends who got in touch. If we miss pronounced your name, we’re sorry.
  • Misty mixes up Ross from Zee and Zed with scary Matt
  • New Internet connection, we hope
  • Caroline asks about goats, and we spout forth much wisdom. *cough* Or we spout forth something… We review a lot of dairy goat information.
  • Poo update
  • Garden update
  • Podcasters Across Boarders

We spend 58 minutes talking about that!
