RIP Edwin Payne, you would have loved the podcast "the constant"

[monstrousproductions]

Would it fuck with your licensing to put up ad-free season albums on Bandcamp or an ad-free RSS feed on the Patreon/Ko-fi? Pocket Casts skip buttons work fine, Acast just has terrible taste in ads (podcasters shilling for AirBnB and ads for cosmetic injections, to name a couple) and blast you after the more reasonable volume of Monstrous Agonies.

It's not the license that's the issue - it's the lack of hours in the day!

I don't know how an ad-free RSS feed works because I haven't looked into it - off the top of my head I think the RSS feed itself is hosted on Acast so I'm not sure how it could be ad-free? However, looking into it would take time that I'm more likely to spend on something else.

I've done my best to avoid the worst of the ads by opting out of anything military, gambling, or mental health related (just say no to Better Help!) but Acast don't make it easy to tailor what kind of ads get put on your content.

For the volume issues, that's actually a problem with how MA was originally mixed. As a baby podcaster, I made the show far quieter than industry standard.

In a dream world, I could hire someone to remaster them all (and perhaps update the credits and show-notes so they're pointing at the right website...) but that's not in our budget atm. So unfortunately, most of MA is mixed much more quietly than your average ad.

Every episode of MA is already up on Patreon, and I don't think it's even behind a paywall. However, they did all go up as separate posts rather than an RSS feed, so it might be a bit more of a faff to listen to than a podcatcher.

With regards to Bandcamp, I've never looked into it - again, just a lack of time and attention to spare! We're about to take two weeks off from Travelling Light so perhaps I'll find time to look at that then, but I'm making no promises just because there's also a bunch of other stuff that needs to be done during that time (including planning the next 8 weeks of TL, working on our marketing/promo stuff for that, and the ongoing process of transferring the MA transcripts from the old website to the new one)

I appreciate you asking, and am always glad to hear of new ways to make the listening experience better. Unfortunately I'm basically doing all the back-end podcastery stuff single-handed and there's just not enough time to get to everything - or enough money to pay someone else to get to it!

My university has a resource page for classics students, and one of them is a link to a fairly long compilation of classics related podcasts on the site rogueclassicism, which seems more generally useful as well (you can find the podcast page, classical podcastery, under the dropdown menu). I haven't had the chance to go through everything, but it seems like a really nice resource.

okay! you're anxious, but it's also only been two days since you've taken a klonopin and you don't want to burn through them all. what are some things we can do

eat something. you've had half a sandwich and some chips today. that's barely a meal. try the other half of the sandwich and a different snack.

take a klonopin anyway.

try to brute-force reading the book that is making you anxious. (what's really making you anxious is comp titles, but Cringe Brain isn't helping)'

put a podcast on and see if you can defeat Cringe Brain via podcastery.

try some writing or brainstorming in the hopes that it'll give you good brain chemicals.

open the mail. scoop the litter. take the trash out.

Podcast Bullshit

I’m sitting here listening to Chopin’s Nocturne No. 9 and I’m so fucking glad I’m done with this series GOD the cast pissed me off.

I suppose you know it’s good when the protagonists offend your sense of justice so fucking badly you just want nothing to do with it.

RELEITURA "A GUERRA DOS TRONOS"

Neste podcast de releitura a equipe da Team Daenerys Brasil recorda os principais acontecimentos que ocorrem no livro A Guerra dos Tronos, o primeiro livro da série As Crônicas de Gelo e Fogo, do autor George Martin. Neste décimo episódio, discutimos os capítulos Tyrion IV, Arya III e Eddard VIII. Após ser sequestrado por Catelyn Stark, Tyrion Lannister está rancoroso ao descobrir que foi enganado e precisa enfrentar grandes desafios ao lado de sua sequestradora, numa estrada onde as querelas do reino não importam e o trabalho em equipe pode ser a diferença entre a vida e a morte. Em Porto Real, a perseguição a um gato hostil leva Arya Stark a viver perigosas aventuras e a testemunhar uma conspiração reveladora nas entranhas sombrias da Fortaleza Vermelha. No pequeno conselho do rei, a notícia da gravidez da princesa Daenerys Targaryen colocam todos em deliberação e resulta numa grave discussão entre o rei e sua Mão, Ned Stark.

Hi! I was just wondering what softwares y’all use for the soundscaping/music/general podcastery? It sounds INCREDIBLE 10/10 and idk if this is weird or like? Industry secret? Smth? (Feel free not to answer if it is! No worries at all!) but I was just wondering what y’all use!!

Hi! I'm J. R. Steele, one of the editors for the episodes!

I use Audacity (you'll hear that often), which is a completely free program that has not let me down so far! I love it, it serves its purpose well. As for how good the actors sound, that's on them! A lot of actors have their recording setups based on some tips I give and some of their own handiwork, and with some communication we can get good audio even with minimal equipment. No such thing as an industry secret in podcasting, a lot of the information can be found on youtube and WikiHow, and I sometimes get messages asking the same thing that I'm always happy to answer!

Soundscaping happens on audacity as well (which is done by the incredibly skilled Becker Hoang!), and most of our sounds are from freesound.org! It's a really popular place to get creative commons sound effects that have some really good audio quality.

Thank you SO much for this ask!

Doing all this research for this Eliot/OC fic because of all the elements of their lives I'm unfamiliar with and still found myself going "how do I even get a feel for some of this"

Then on my podcasts the KF guys interviewed a woman with five dogs and trauma and medical problems and then Thomas interviewed a YouTube chef about some of his top tips for beginners so now I'm like. The universe knows what I'm writing! The universe provides!

There's still a lot I have to figure out, this fic is an excellent way to occupy my creative brain for a while and learn some stuff! But it's nice that I'm getting a little help with the parts that were confounding me.

So I haven't posted here in Forever, despite continuing to have So Many Thoughts about TSH, but also I'm actually finally starting toward a degree in Classics, so I figured this would be a good time to revitalize this blog. I'll probably be posting about both classics in general and TSH here, as well as expanding it to include adjacent subjects like other courses in the humanities I'm taking, literature, art, other areas of ancient history, etc.

[neednothavehappenedtobetrue]

okay! we did some successful podcastery! we also did some successful homework!

we tried to read some nonfiction and our whole brain went "nope!" so perhaps we will not read any nonfiction today.

probably you can write the scene that's next up without doing the research you need to do. (although figure out where the flashbacks go? they're something you should have soon) so do that sans research. you can always fill details in later.

also please Google the gunpowder plot to see if you can use it for stuff
