After Trek

[Starbreaker]

I don't like Matt Mira at all. I don't even like him when The Nerdist does recordings with him. He's obviously a super Trek need, but he needs a good script to work with if he's going to be doing these.

Reading tweets out loud is so boring. Please make it stop. They can scroll across the screen or something.

He is doing a fine job imho. Nothing wrong with him at all.

=) I dont think that would make it anymore exciting.

I'll take Matt Mira any day of the week over Chris Hardwick. Hardwick's Doctor Who specials, back when Capaldi took the role, were the baseline definition of cringe-worthy.

^ Maybe that's where Lorca's Tribble disappeared to!

I've also noticed Mira has toned it down a bit, though I still shake my head when he laughs at his own "funny" remarks.

He has a funny laugh though. People who laugh like that must have some kind of wierd vocal chord make up because try as I might, I can't laugh like that. Gretchen Berg laughs the same way.

I'll keep watching. I like the guests and the inside info.

We've actually been trying to brainstorm on some fan interaction for our podcast, we've thought about the tweets thing but seeing it in practice makes it kinda boring.

Since we don't do our show live, fan interaction is extra difficult, we've been trying to brainstorm on fan interaction using a forum, but I gotta tell ya, fan interaction on a podcast is way more difficult than TV or radio.

What's the name of your podcast?

Geek USA,

in the fan productions part of this forum I have links to our most recent episode on soundcloud and iTunes, we just did an interview with a "red shirt" from Discovery its at the end of our most recent episode ( for episode 6 )

we have another interview scheduled with a speaking non-red shirt,

We do the discovery cast weekly, but also do other topics weekly surrounding other tv film and music, so we do two a week.

I tried fan interaction once, but the fan blades hurt my hand.

Maybe post something in local bookstores and student unions, and get a live studio audience for your recording sessions? Or if there isn't space for that, walk around wearing something that identifies your podcast in such places and pre-record questions and comments for use?

Me, too - it's surprising how much more powerful an industrial cooling fan of similar size is than the cooling fans typically found inside a PC (which is what I work with). Or at least, it was to me. Can't stop them with your finger, that's for sure - nearly took the end of my left index finger off, had to have stitches. Finished the job I was doing before I left to go to the hospital, though. Cause in some contexts, I'm a badass*.

We do the podcast from different ends of the USA, there is no high fidelity way of doing it live. I'm in Arizona, other host is in Ohio, we record it, we don't really edit it, but I have to record my end into a mic, he has to record his, and then one is emailed to the other and smashed together.

Otherwise your suggestions are top notch.
