HBO Specials

noreply@blogger.com (Stephy-ru) — Wed, 18 Oct 2006 17:05:00 +0900

HBO recently had a mini series that followed Dane Cook and friends around on their comedy tour called "TOUR-gasm."
It was a tour, a cd, and a televsision series, and now a Podcast! You can check out a lot of skits from the 4 comdiens at their finale sold out show at Penn State University. Also you can access interviews and behind the scenes fun. each of the podcast, for the most part are between 1 and 4 mintues long. Each one is from one specific comedian that was on the tour and one of their jokes. On iTunes you can see the comedian's name and the name of their skit, which is great if you want to look them up on your own. There are a total of 13 episodes of interviews profiles, skits, and about segments.
The cool thing that I never mentioned in my other podcast reviews is the iTunes music store podcast page, in which they suggest other podcast and "other people that listen to this podcast also listened to....." Through this I found out that Dane Cook has his private podcast, as well as other comedians that i love.
Check out TOUR-gasm

Enjoy!

I recently completed a project for the TUJ Podcast. It consists of student interviews that I conducted around the new Temple University Japan dorm that is located nearby the Ikigami line station called Ontakesan, in the town of Ootaku in the city of Tokyo in the country of Japan.

Students talk about common living space, the school commute, and what there is to do in this small town. Check it out at:

Gossiping with Podcasts

noreply@blogger.com (Stephy-ru) — Mon, 2 Oct 2006 17:06:00 +0900

Star drama and hollywood gossip is now possible to reach more ears thanks to podcasting. yes, it is true now anyone can have their own celebrity gossip show thanks to the wonders of podcast.
This podcast, entitled "WireImage", is completed with the corny mega music intro music. The reporter is completly serious with the drama of the Hilton sisters as well as screenings and P. Diddy's celebrity parties. It does sound like a one woman show, however they do have sound clips from interiews of starts and agents. It is a 3 minute and some show with one reporter covering the story and then maybe, but not always, jumping to those audio clips. There is dramatic music playing through out the entire show, as well as the begining and end. Their website (http://wireimagepodcast.blogspot.com/) is also a blog which serves as an archive of short blurbs of information for each episode. WireImage provides an external link to hear these mp4's of gossip. With the external link, you have the possibility to view the show as a video podcast which mostly consist of still photos and transitions. However, the the news reporter is a real moving image and there is also some found footage. Besides the blogger.com website, this production team also has a wireimage.com home page for more gossip.

Podcasting is Taking Over the World of Entertainment

noreply@blogger.com (Stephy-ru) — Fri, 29 Sep 2006 12:31:00 +0900

So for the past few weeks, I have surrounded my world of enterainment with podcast (almost indirectly and unaware). I have been hanging out with a friend that lives in Sakura House. Everynight I head down to his room to listen to music, watch the news, and watch an episode of on of our favorite sitcoms, as well as short entertainment bits created by our favorite television channels from home! All trhough iPodcast! Crazy! I will update more later.

Brain Food Review

noreply@blogger.com (Stephy-ru) — Mon, 25 Sep 2006 17:10:00 +0900

Today I dicovered a podcost called Brain Busters. How I found it was because on the iTunes Music Store for Podcast, there is a list of the top 1- podcasts. I choose the 3rd one called Brain busters. It was produced by Station81.com. It was a video podcast with audio. It was to learn Japanese Words and Kanji. The word is repeated twice and then the Kanji is shown and repeated twice also. It goes a little fast and I had to continue to stop the podcst and rewind to be able to repeat the word properly. It was a very short podcast, 1 minute and 54 seconds to exact. But the podcast is updated daily with a combination of about 15 words. The words that are being shown to you are more advance, such as :troublesome, vague, wisdom and ironic. The background is music with a heavy bass beat to get in a the flow of repeating. It is a creative podcast. It shows how educational podcast can be. So if you are interested in learn vocabulary from another language, check out podcasts before you go and spend a lot of money on sudio Cds! Here is the website of the people that produced the podcast that I listened to: http://www.station81.com/

Podcast Review: RICH and JOSH

noreply@blogger.com (Stephy-ru) — Wed, 13 Sep 2006 01:32:00 +0900

Tonight I listened to a recently released episode of the Rich and Josh Show. It was an interesting format of friends that have the convience of living together that have easy accessability of producing a podcast. The show is only 20 minutes long, so the format held my attention. If it was any longer I would need more structure. It was enjoyable to hear about Philly hot spots and different areas that I have been to that they are talking about.
I feel like their inside jokes are explained to the rest of us, I chuggled a couple of times aloud because I can picture my friends telling these same stories in these same locations.
I think this format only works because these indivudals seem to be new to the meteropolis, new to each other, new to being on their own, so it makes it easy to listen to. Its almost as though these two kids are telling us a story of their day in conversation form.

My friend and I are planing on making a podcast around the same format, but with interviews and event annoucements. Look out for it!

Blog Assignment #1

noreply@blogger.com (Stephy-ru) — Mon, 4 Sep 2006 15:24:00 +0900

Article Reviewed: Wired News: Beyond Porno: Free IPod Content

Website Address: http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,69910-0.html

The internet article entitled Beyond Porno: Free IPod Content was a great article for someone who knows about podcasting as well as itunes. It was a great library of sorts from available information, highlighting the best of certain topics. It was not an article to read if you wanted to obtain information regarding "What is a podcast?" The article seemed to written for the indivdual that was tired of not being able to get a great podcast with out paying for it. The article made it sound as if these free podcast were a tresured item, and in actuality I was not aware of that fact that some podcasts have a fee?
In regards to the title of the article, I think the author could have done a better job explaining themself. Was it given the name Beyond Porno because those were the only other free podcast programs that they could find? I would assume that pornography related podcast would be the ones that a user would have to purchuse to help censor accessibility from, perhaps, children.
I wonder what kind of agreements or requirments have to be meet for a free public podcast? I downloaded a Comedy Centeral podcast which was free, and the langauge and content was defiantly adult, and I did not need to click anything to say I was 18 and over. Perhaps just saying explict is enough to meet the requirments.
