The Podcast Formerly Known as Weekly

A couple of shows in, and we’re starting to get our heads round what we’re doing in these live shows. Today we’ll be talking to Scott Woodwiss, amongst the other usual chatter, so it’s a good week to join in the fun.

This week we’re also doing a bit of re-branding, so tune in to find out how the various podcasts will stack up for the rest of the season.

We’re planning to go live a bit later than normal, about 6pm BST (thank goodness Top Gear has finished). You’re more than welcome to join us in the comments if you can. Just click the red logo in the corner to be directed to the Live Commenting Live… Thing. See you there.

    Few :) I’m off to play tennis at 4 (possibly in the rain) and wont be back till about 5:30. I was slightly annoyed i may miss the live show, but since it’s gonna be later all is good :)

    See you all then :D

    If the show isn’t until 6pm, then I might as well log off at this point. I’m not sure whether I’ll be able to make the 6pm slot though :(

    Enjoy yourselves with the show :)

    sorry to hear that alianora. i think this timeslot is closer to when we’ll be doing the post race live shows too.

    in theory we’re trying to be more consistent. apologies for not giving you a heads up sooner.

    I am here - sort of. I will be here by the time the six pm thing is happening.

  6. August 31st, 2008 at 4:04 pmAlex Andronov said:

    PS. Me remember that thing I was talking about that you couldn’t see which was that the live comments live… thing wasn’t lining up at the bottom. It was because of the smileys being taller than the text line height. It only happened in Firefox. You can see it happening in this thread in firefox on the mac as well (I had thought it was PC only). Just so you know…

    It isn’t cruical. I will just switch to Safari :)

    soz, it’s on me list, along with fixing the segmented image in IE. have disabled smilies for this afternoon.

    hopefully that’ll help.

    Ah cheers! You don’t need to disable it. I just hadn’t realised that you’d be able to see it. So I was just mentioning it for that reason.

    Clearly Christine needs to do another mini series and get the beer in. Otherwise you’ll never be able to make that version where you can drag things around like on the BBC homepage :P

    God, go away for two weeks and everything has changed. What’s this ‘live’ thng :)
    Love the new commenting screen thingy as well, feels like I’ve been left in the 3rd Century while everyone else is in the 21st…

    As for the six pm, going out for our dinner, but the service is usually quick so in theory I should be back in time.

    Unbelievable as it may sound they are going to tear down the old market building which were used as the pits at Valencia. They were one of the few interesting features in a mass of concrete. No doubt they will replaced with a state of the art facility. You know you are an F1 fan when every time you hear the phrase ’state of the art facility’ you want to punch Max and Bernie.

    Just thought I’d say hi. We’re not rushing around so much like last week which is a bonus. Getting there slowly but surely.

    Thanks for the linkage Steven, it’s crazy, might have to mention that in the show.

    So now you’ll have a comment from Stephen and Scott on the line. Who’s show will it be Scott or Stephen’s. There’s only one way to find out!!! FIIIIIIGGGGHHHHHHTTTTTT!!!!! ;)

  15. August 31st, 2008 at 5:27 pmChristine said:

    We’ve reduced the polling on the live comments to 15 second intervals. If anyone has any problems let us know, cos we’re just testing it out.

    Grasshoppa,

    Would it not be more appropriate to have some guy with a Chinese accent say “Steven Roy, Scott Woodwiss”

    “Round 1″

    “be-GIN!”

    a la “Morket Kombat”? throw in that crazy theme/background music from the movie and away they go!

    (My moneys on a Steven Roy => “Flawless Victory!”.)

  29. August 31st, 2008 at 5:53 pmJordan Allen said:

    It might be kinda funny to watch the hosts of Sidepodcast flounder about live trying to connect Scott via Skype or whatever they are using, just to make sure that there are no problems on their end… (hint, hint!)

  30. August 31st, 2008 at 5:53 pmScott Woodwiss said:

    any luck now?

    I wouldn’t mention Grasshoppas around here. Christine and Lou might not like it!

    Why Alex?

  34. August 31st, 2008 at 5:55 pmChristine said:

    Perfect, thanks Scott. We’ll do a test in a second, if that’s okay.

    lol i’ve seen my fair share of insects in the past few days :s Grasshoppers are ok… it’s spiders i hate! Unluckily for me there was a massive spider in my room late last night :s needless to say i screamed lol

  37. August 31st, 2008 at 5:56 pmAlex Andronov said:

    Why Alex?

    I believe there was some conversation about Crickets and Grasshoppers at the Sidepodcast HQ

  38. August 31st, 2008 at 5:57 pmAlex Andronov said:

    So would anyone like to take a punt at go live time?

    RG, there’s a check box to untick if you want to say where you are in the comments.

    Christine can control the run time for the editted version of the live shows but Ollie always wins

  63. August 31st, 2008 at 6:02 pmAlex Andronov said:

    That’s because Ollie has hypnotized them into using his running time - FACT!

    Aye, was quite relaxing. Though I did miss the rain, got that today though :)

  68. August 31st, 2008 at 6:03 pmScott Woodwiss said:

    just a question - do your voices come through different speakers (like christine’s through the left and me’s through the right) or will it come through both because my left speaker on my laptop doesn’t work.

  69. August 31st, 2008 at 6:03 pmme said:

    be there in 1 min.

  70. August 31st, 2008 at 6:03 pmOllie said:

    right one is perfect though :)

  72. August 31st, 2008 at 6:04 pmSteven Roy said:

    I think Christine is waiting until 2 minutes after everyone’s guess has passed then she will be certain to be right

  73. August 31st, 2008 at 6:04 pmAlex Andronov said:

    Are you all looking into my eyes…?

    There is only one i in that sentence…

  74. August 31st, 2008 at 6:04 pmAlianora La Canta said:

    Ollie, I can’t see your eyes, so how am I supposed to look into them?

    Ali, you already are.

    Sorry that was a terrible joke.

  77. August 31st, 2008 at 6:05 pmScott Woodwiss said:

    6:05pm is my guess since “me” just said be there in 1 minute. :P

  78. August 31st, 2008 at 6:05 pmme said:

    sorry yeah scott, we might be sending you stereo. i see if i can do anything about that.

    thing is, when i’ve listened to you guys live before, both voices have come through the speaker fine. i was just wondering since i wasn’t sure if christine had said anything over our test call.

  86. August 31st, 2008 at 6:06 pmme said:

    if needed scott can pan all hard right.

    Is it like the live broadcasting they do with the inside track where they show a video, or is it just a mumbling of rustling papers and speech?

  98. August 31st, 2008 at 6:08 pmAlianora La Canta said:

    A little hissy.

  100. August 31st, 2008 at 6:09 pmScott Woodwiss said:

    if needed scott can pan all hard right.

    hmm, could we test both and see if there is any problem with stereo beforehand? because like i said, now listening to the sound from the live feed, i can hear both you guys ok. not sure if that will be the same for skype.

  101. August 31st, 2008 at 6:09 pmOllie said:

    Picture is great though.

  106. August 31st, 2008 at 6:10 pmOllie said:

  155. August 31st, 2008 at 6:20 pmAlianora La Canta said:

    Ollie, Max probably would remove more circuits were they not negotiating directly with Bernie for their places on the calender. Short of throwing out the ASN in control of the circuit, Max cannot overrule the contract (in effect, removing the ASN makes the contract invalid).

    I do not think they are allowed to test on the circuit of the race for the week up the race Ali. Spa is used as it pretty close to Monza and tehy need the data for the upcoming race at Spa anyway.

    The thing is that the point of the engine freeze is to reduce engine costs. So these cracks mean that the spending argument will completely fall over because teams will be spending the same amount as before on the smaller cracks for an ever-smaller return.

    I was planning to tune in live but we’ve had a bit of emergency today – the dishwasher has broken!

    Hope it’s going/went okay.

    Just to add my tuppence worth about the pronoun business from the other day, what really gets my goat is the abuse of the reflexive personal pronoun. Politicians and sportspeople do it all the time: saying “myself” when what they actually mean is “me” or even “I”.
