FIRSTcast coming soon!

[Matt Krass]

Alright everyone get ready, for FIRSTcast!

That's right, an internet radio show just about FIRST.

Hosted by Me, Adam Richards and Conor Ryan, we'll go in depth in to FIRST and explore all aspects of the competition. We'll have special guests, tips of the week and other cool features.

We'll be launching September 5th so better get ready to listen!

well Ventrilo has been working best for us, we tried Skype but quality wasn't so good. And sadly google talk doesn't have a confrence call feature yet. Keep watching for our episodes.

Don't forget to email your questions that we'll answer on the show for you to Firstpodcast@gmail.com

what about teamspeak... that has built in recording and its usually pretty good (if you have it on high quality.... lol)

Well Ventrilo was what everyone was using last night, Matt had a server handy. Its open source, and happened to work with my recording computer last night. So we're happy with it.

(last point of page 16 in the Guidelines PDF)

We thought we had a violation, were fixing it ASAP

[Greg Marra]

I'll be sure to listen to your guys cast! Good luck!

[Matt Krass]

Calling in from actual phones is something we're working on, maybe in the future. Our current priority is getting the basics done and getting the show off the ground.

[Adam Richards]

If anyone wishes to be a guest star on a future show, please drop a line to firstpodcast@gmail.com, with "Guest Star" in the subject line.

Thanks!

We've corrected the error with a temporary image until we can design a proper logo
