AH.com podcast#1 - What If : Nazis
- Thread starter LSCatilina
- Start date
It seems that naziesque architecture interesd the good people of AH.com this times. Talking about Germania would be an occasion to remind ourselves that AH isn't just political or military history.
We have only 4 people who have given their Skype usernames.
Remember that if you don't give it, you wont be able to participe the podcast. And miss the opportunity of participate in a pioneer project, for the greater cause of Alternate History.

Actually, more than that.
So far I have the skype names of (apart from myself and LSCatilina), in no particular order:
Thande
thekingsguard
Bradys2006
Yelnoc
Aristocracy
Krall
So that's 8 people. I don't know if everyone will show up, Bradys in particular said his connection wasn't working out for him right now, but we should be more than enough to do this anyway. Also I'm happy to say the majority of participants will have English as their native tongue, which is always a bonus.
About half an hour early should do it. I want to make sure everyone is audible and that the recording software works.
And in any case I'll likely be on from now until it starts.
When is this? If I can, I would like to participate.
My ID is vienna_weazle (don't ask), and this is a sample of my sound recording:

The only problems it has are plosives as well as voiceless fricatives, because they tend to pop, respectively hiss.
And yes, I realise my accent isn't German
EDIT: Ignore that earlier edit, I'm clearly a moron.

This sounds extremely interesting and I'll definitely be following these podcasts. I do not think I'll ever contribute though, because as others have indicated, I am uncomfortable sharing my name, face, location, etc with the internet. I'm also really boring to talk to and rarely know what I'm talking about.
Do you have any ideas for future topics? Are you taking suggestions?

Well, sure. It'll be a bit crowded but we'll make it work.
Suggestions are more than welcome! I was going to suggest next month's topic to be Napoleon myself, but I'm more than open to hear some ideas.
Can I join - or it is too late? Note that I'm not going to participate much, going to sleep after at most a hour or two (hey, the whole thing starts at midnight in my timezone!), and even then probably not say anything due to being a complete newbie (though might offer some suggestions as for the Soviet front, and maybe quote some Russian AH authors on that; also, anything I do say would end up with an atrocious Russian accent, and for that matter my voice isn't really good even in original Russian).
Also, how to record a short audio test? I haven't really done it before, unfortunately
...So what, how?

it's somewhere, but i don't know where, a registring list. If someone is not present to the podcast, we'll say it here, and you can register to the vacant place here.
Isn't?
Charl?
Please help me to say something logical about how the podcast would goes!

I'll put you on reserve, I think. I think one of our participants isn't coming already so you should be in it today.
I think I'll set a limit at nine people for now. Seems like a good enough arbitrary number.

Yeah, charl will send you an invitation over Skype which you'll need to accept.
Edit: I think charl said you were planning on turning up about half an hour before the talk started - if you want I could ask him to send you an invite now?
How to put the short audio test? It seems I only have 15 minutes to figure it out, and currently I have no idea
Also, can I send the ID by PM to you? This is an open forum, and I would prefer not to take such a huge breach in my (already barely-existent) privacy
