Prototype Benheck.com Podcast

Post by benheck »

Later today Jason Jones and I are going to record a prototype podcast to be available on my site.

The basic theme is that it's 30 minutes long and we'll cover 3 topics. For the prototype the topics are:

Next-gen graphics - Why are they so shiny?

HD DVD vs Blu-Ray vs Who gives a rat's ass?

Nintendo Wii - The "Snakes on a Plane" of Consoles?

Granted I've never produced a podcast before but I've been on several so I should be OK. Mostly I have to figure out how to record one by 4 PM... heh heh heh.

It might be a bit rough (quality-wise and language-wise) but should be pretty entertaining. It seems every time I talk to Jones we go on about subjects such as these anyways, so why not record them?

Look for it to be released around the middle of this week!

I was thinking of doing a podcast for the site, but I'm a small portion of the entire sight.

Please tell me what you think, Jones and I are interested.

We do talk about the Wii and why we're not convinced, so be warned! ;)

Listening, haven't gotten to the Wii part yet, though.

I want another one. Lookin' foward to it.

I used to roll this Idea around in my head, I'd make a kinda weekly newscap and throw in my thoughts...

I'd like an Mp3 of it instead of Mp4 though, I can just do more with Mp3.
