I’ve Started a Spider-Man Podcast!
Hey everyone.
Now that Trouble is okay and I’m making some progress with paying down her medical debt, I’ve been able to turn my time and energy back to content creation. While I’ll never claim to be the world’s best blogger, YouTuber, or podcaster, I can at least add that latter term to my content creation resume again! I’ve started a podcast focused on one of the few subjects I can nerd out about ad nauseum–the amazing Spider-Man, of course–and have, as of this writing, streamed, edited, and uploaded THREE episodes!
Introducing: The Web Line, a Podcast About Spider-Man and His Amazing World! It’s the ideal place for Spider-Fans to discuss all aspects of our favorite webslinger in a fun, informal–but informative!–forum. Join me, the laughably loquacious Spidey Librarian, and my garrulous guests to hear about the timely topics related to the wondrous webslinger! Spidey news, analysis, reviews, and discussion, all in one perfectly imperfect podcast!
I mentioned earlier that I’ve already gotten THREE episodes out. Below you’ll see what they are, and when they originally streamed:
- Episode 1 – Timeline to Spider-Verse: Video Games to Comics to Film (Really!) / May 28
- Episode 2 – Reaction and Review of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (non-spoiler) / June 4
- Episode 3 – Character Deep Dive: Peter Parker / June 11
Below is a playlist of the original live streams of The Web Line on my YouTube channel. If you love Spider-Man and his amazing world as much as I do, you’ll want to tune in! As time goes on, this playlist will grow larger and larger, since I’m currently averaging an episode per week. And that’s not even talking about the bonus episodes I’ll be putting out on a semi-regular basis!
The podcast is also available in audio formats, on many of the podcast providers out there, such as Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, and Stitcher. I’ll create a link for The Web Line that has links to your preferred podcast service in the near future.
In the meantime, here’s a list of upcoming episodes, the date of they’re intended live stream, and any information I have about guests for them:
- Episode 2.5 – Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse SPOILER Talk / June 16 / Diane Maenad and Chuck Schiel (BONUS Episode!)
- Episode 4 – Tier List: Rating Spider-Man’s Rogues Gallery / June 18 / no guest
- Episode 5 – Spider-Reads: What Are the Most Iconic Spider-Man Stories? / June 25 / Dan Gvozden of the Amazing Spider-Talk podcast
- Episode 6 – Film Review: 2002’s Spider-Man / July 2 / no guest
I hope you’ll check it out and enjoy! I know it’s a good time to be a Spider-Man fan, and hopefully this little podcast will add a little fan-fueled flavor to all the Spider-Man content that’s out there.
Adventures In Podcasting, part I: Review Your Orders Carefully
I’ve decided to try my hand at putting together a podcast, and after reading a few websites and books on the subject, I put a script together, came up with a format and some co-hosts, and even recorded an initial testcast. Feel free to check it out here.
I was feeling pretty good about this so far. The next part was to work on recording with more than one person.
I’d also ordered some starter podcasting equipment, including a couple of cheap headset mics, a mixer, and some adapters for the mics to plug into the mixer. When they came in today, I quickly discovered I’d made a mistake and ordered the non-USB version of the mixer I wanted.
This was kind of a problem, given that I wanted to record this podcast… you know… on my computer.
My colleagues did what they could to salvage my colossal screwup, as we wanted to try recording tomorrow–the next episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was going to be on, after all. After discussing suggestions with them about how we might jury-rig an interface with an RCA to USB adapter and try recording that way, I decided to go ahead and just purchase another mixer, this one a USB one, and hold off on returning the current one until we actually try to record tomorrow. If it turns out we can make it work tomorrow, then we’ll record with the current mixer the one time before I return it while we wait for the proper, USB mixer.
Moral of the story: review your orders carefully, particularly where hardware is concerned.
Sadly enough, I can recall a time when I knew that once.
