Podcast Info

It's going to debut this Sunday night, Sep. 1 at 10P Central.  Here's the show page:

That first show will be our NFC preview, and then Tuesday night Sep. 3 at 10P Central will be our AFC preview.  We'll also reveal our Super Bowl picks on that show unless we slip and reveal them during the NFC show.  Yeah, we've never done this before, so who knows what we're going to say or when.

To answer the obvious questions:  That late at night because Blog Talk Radio blocks off "prime time" between 6P and 10P for its premium members, and we're not paying $39 per month to be a premium member.  We're doing this for shits and giggles, not for profit.  Also, being a free member means each podcast can last a half-hour at its longest, thus splitting up our season preview by conference.  So why go with Blog Talk Radio?  It was my choice because I'm a lazy bastard and I was instantly persuaded by the ease of the site.  We're not buying any new equipment at all.  We're calling in and doing it live by phone.  And I've done several test runs, and the sound is just fine considering it's a free site.  Jason hasn't joined me for these test runs, so it will be a mystery how he sounds.  But we're full speed ahead.  The plan is to do the picks regularly live Saturday nights at 10P Central.  There are buttons to push to make each episode into an iTunes feed after it ends, allowing anyone to download the show and listen at their leisure.  But I'm the furthest thing from a computer nerd, so we'll see how that works out.

Deep breaths, everyone.  Thanks for your views on the blog thus far, even though none of you cowards have ever commented (lol), and patience through the train wreck that will be our first attempts at a radio show.  But we'll be having fun, we promise, and hopefully that makes it fun to listen.
