Podcasting does not equal doing a "show"

[Barefoot Radio.com]

Who out there is producing a show?


Who out there is just podcasting?


Just curious what people think of these questions.

SH*T or get off the POT!

[monkey_one]

hey whats the dif? and that dude from chicago was blasting you on his show for blasting him

[tabulator32]

I do a weekly show that I release each Sunday evening for a little over three months.

That's not much of a history but I'm here to stay.

It may not be much right now but I'm workin' on it and trying to learn as I go.

Its been a great deal of fun.

Er. Not sure what you would call mine. Show? Musical? Storytelling? Podcast?

Ummm actually isn't podcast just the medium? Like tv or radio.

[tabulator32]

Ok. I missed the part about you asking what we thought of the actual questions.

If someone is getting paid by someone else to do a specific show by specific standards and thats what constitutes a show to them, that's fine.

Otherwise, who's in charge of telling other people what there "show" should be?

I amd trying to develop a consistent format and show release time so I can be consistent with my listeners. If someone else does it another way, that's freakin' fantastic...because its THEIR "SHOW".

I hope I understood it that time.

:lol:

[Keeme]

I am podcasting... I wanna do a show... I feel ashamed... because I say I have a show... I blame radio... and my Mom.

[tipsychicks]

i ended my show - and now i'll be 'casting! and calling in to other people's live shows!

[monkey_one]

First off I am the last one that anybody should be looking for a professional opionon
(cant even spell it) on this subject
now that I got the disclaimer out of the way here is my opionon o-pin-yawn
LOL
as far as being aestecicly appealing wheither it can hold a lisnters attention and keep them coming back for more no matter if its is sloppy or proffesionally done by whoever standards wheither its the media tv radio music I dont know I meen they have been playing around with what gets raitings and what keeps ratings for years
so should we as podcasters reinvent the wheel in someways yes and mabey others no
but this beeing a brand new medium to deliver content to a hungry audience
ISNT UP TO US TO DECIDE WHAT CONSTITUES A SHOW......WE ARE THE KNEW MAVRICKS WE ARE THE NEW MAGES WE ARE THE NEW WIZARDS OF THE DIGITAL AGE.........DO NOT LET THE MAN HOLD US DOWN.........I WANT ALL YOU PODCASTERS TO GO TO YOUR DOORAS AND WINDOWS OPEN THEM AND SCREAM OUT AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS
"I AM TIRED OF THIS **** AND IM NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE"
......da bears scratch that ......da monkeys ah dats betta.....burp

[ElNacho]

i think...

well Fox is castin, but they're sure as hell not doin shows
Knox's techies are castin, but still not doin shows

Most of us are doin shows, and casting too

is there anyone left that's still doing a show, but not casting? like b4 podcasting was aboot?

[Big Mike]

Podcasting is the medium. A show is what you do with it.

[ElNacho]

true dat, but maybe der are still audio bloggers who dont know about like podcasting and stuff...itd b hard, but hey maybe somewheh

or maybe someone who doesnt get the feed, but understands the concept. so they just ahve a audio show, but no podcast feed.

so theres a show, but no cast

i have seen some pretty cool stuff outside of the podcasting vidcasting arena
fer instance both my kids are xbox halo freaks and there are certain kids who have casting calls set up maps and do full blown productions with multilple camera angles scripts and pretty extensive post production....they even do trailers sometimes for there stories its pretty f***n cool ....dont know if microsoft or the company of halo would aprove but its cool am i like totally getting off point here?

[Big Mike]

...so theres a show, but no cast
Precisely. Once it's packaged by the producer, it's almost impossible for it not to be a show, in my opinion.

[ElNacho]

well like...me and my little sister, off and on, have been making videos on my dad's camera and iMovie for years. Not much angle goodness, audio quality, etc...but they still were pretty funny. Content-wise, dey were good. They all wounded up on VHSes...now labled SiDAuS20032305 or something weird like that...basically would be too much trouble to go through all of them and find some good stuff, put it back on the computer, and reproduce...as a cast! If i knew about blogs, was a bit more techsavie, and had some kind of uploading thing...Man, we cudda done some ****...we cudda had a show b4 casts! but hey, that would take more imagination than we had to come up with somethin like that...

[Big Mike]

true, but that's one of the reasons that this medium was invented. People wanted to do that on their blogs and just couldn't get it to act like they wanted it to act. Then someone created podcasting.

I'm the same way, dude. I've got movies...fully-done short movies. 23 of them, to be exact. I'm just DYING to find someone who wants to put them out for me.

[ElNacho]

totally

[womengrow]

Podcasting is the medium. A show is what you do with it.
I think that definition hits it on the head.

You can call it a show as long as there is some form of regularity (or more than one episode), and as long as there is some form of similar aspect from one episode to the next (even if the only thing one episode has in common with the next is having the same host).

The LAST thing we need is to invite some High Judicial Council attitude into the community. My last "show" sucked (I think), but it was still a show.

When you think about it, Public Access television really helped lay some of the foundation for podcasting, at least as far as how receptive WE all were to the idea that "hey, we can produce shows ourselves." A lot of what you see on community tv sucks, but they do it every week anyway.

[Big Mike]

Exactly, Erica. In fact, I'd think it would be hard to find one that isn't considered a show in that definition.

[Big Mike]

When you think about it, Public Access television really helped lay some of the foundation for podcasting....
Public Access, College Radio, Blogging....however you got here....just makes the foundation even larger.
I did it because of Firesign Theater and Joe Frank.

A hierarchy in three simple steps:

Podcast = medium
Show (or series) = type of podcast
Episode = one of many of a series

Now, there are certain things I wouldn't call a show. For example, the company I used to work for started releasing announcements to employees in podcast form. I wouldn't call that a show, even though they release these (insert noun here) every week.

[ElNacho]

may i coin the term for the non-show podcast?
i call it...the...uh...Fart. Fake attempt rotating tallas.

Right now it's a podcast trying to be a good show.

By the end of '06 we plan for our 'cast to be a show that just happens to distribute its content over podcasting.
