Hi guys.

At some stage, we hope to launch our own Amigans shoutcast server/Service.

We need two things.

1: Should it be Amigans Radio or Radio Amigans? Vote here

2: Can anyone out there do us some jingles please? (Once we have decided on a name)

Cheers

Mikey C

Are you going to make it different and have talk spots? Maybe allow site members to interact with the DJs not via IRC but the site or to skype you online. Or is it just music?

It would be interesting to tune into something that was actually going to talk about the products, have the developers being interviewed and maybe users reviewing games. Even one show a week would be worth listening to if it contained that.

Something relevant, something like LBC or Radio 5 in England.

By having wholly original content you wouldn't have copyright problems.

Thats a good idea.

Maybe do that on skype. It will have to wait for a good few months for that though. Maybe from April, but yes, great idea.

...this way the show doesn't have to be live, or at least not all of it.

Yeah great idea.

Will require some planning though (quite a bit of it).

Only problem with that is I couldn't even get anyone to post "Their Playlist" on AwR so getting people to participate in a skype phone in might prove a tad difficult.


What do other people think ?

Would YOU phone in ?

How much planning is needed?

52 shows a year, lasting an hour.

The show goes out at 8pm, GMT every Friday and is repeated at 4am GMT every Saturday for the Aussies and Zealers.

The show format:

1. Recorded: Recap, news items of the week - record and tack onto the front at 5pm GMT every Friday. Announce at the start that users can call in while the news items are on and they will be in the next part of the show ( live ). Lasting 5 minutes in total, maybe two people discussing the news ( Outcast? Mikey_C? ) and inviting opinions on a specific item.

2. If callers have called in by 8.05pm then (a) cue live section of discussion and debate with the caller(s). If not, cue prerecorded alternative (b)

(a) Live: Divide up time equally, maybe allow them to conference call.

(b) Recorded: Precorded item, maybe reviews, maybe music. This bit is disposable.

3. Recorded: 8.15-8.25 - Interview recorded earlier in the week with a developer, figure, personality. Or if no interview a workshop talking about something ( Mac on Amiga? Samba? ).

4. Recorded: 8.25-8.30 Repeat of the news recap, announce at the start that while the news items are on callers can call in on a topic for the second live segment of the show. Maybe the second part is a workshop, or inviting comments in the interview.

5. 8.30-8.45 If callers have called in by 8.30pm then (a) live section if not (b) prerecorded alternative.

(a) Live: Divide up time equally

(b) Recorded: Some prerecorded item, disposable if you get live chat.

6. 8.45-9.00 Recorded: More prerecorded content, maybe some music, regular spot ( os4depot game reviews? items from the internet? Look at other platforms, the industry, general items ).

The repeat would just be a record of the live show.

The court case is like a thunderstorm after a long humid summer.

wow Mitch, you carry on like that and you'll be talking yourself into being show producer

In all honesty, for those who have ever tuned into my shows previously, will testify, that they are normally "thrown together"

Nice one Mitch

This is what we need. People putting some thought into it.

If peeps are prepared to participate then it becomes worth the effort to make it happen.


Make it So peeps !!

(So say we all ?)

On shows with live call in bits show producers are more on hand to filter out nutballs and to move the show on if the presenter is getting bogged down.

Sometimes it is good to let the nutballs go on a bit before cutting them off.

A final thought, always record the content a week in advance ( apart from topical items ) to give you a chance to do a run through with the interviewee, recut it, and do a dummy run of the show. So do interviews on the weekend, Monday or Tuesday at latest, aim to get a version out for the Weds/Thurs ready for play on the Friday.

No, I won't be helping out, but I thought you could do with a bit of input.

One step at a time though.

We need to sort a name. i.e. Radio Amigans or Amigans Radio.

Then we need someone to knock up some jingles. Is there anyone on here who can help?

Cheers

Which name to choose will come from how the jingle sounds; how easy it is to say in a phrase.
