I can't tell you how much I love podcasts. They fit my day job to be able to listen to music and shows all day while I work. I really enjoyed the J-Play podcast and I hope Playism gets their next one up soon. I was brainstorming about maybe it would be useful for us to make our own show that focused on the forums. Threads get buried over time and it would be cool to voice chat with members who might want to give a weekly highlight of what interesting things are going on.
Does anyone see any benefit to this idea, and how many people would actually listen or participate as guests?

I think is a good idea, theres a lot of things going on with Bloodstained that can be used as material, I would listen to the podcast.

I would be interested in listening to a podcast. It would be good to hear about some of the topics that get buried. The benefit would be to give more people options since as for me I don't have time to continuously browse the form and it would allow me to to learn more about what goes on the forum. Personally I wouldn't be able to be a guest though.

Pardon my ignorance, and I'll probably feel very dumb for asking this but, what is a podcast, exactly? This could probably be remedied with a simple Google search but I figured it might be better to ask here. Also I'm too busy reading a novel. And I'm lazy. I mean, I've heard the term before but never bothered checking what it was really.

Pardon my ignorance, and I'll probably feel very dumb for asking this but, what is a podcast, exactly? Buncha peeps providing commentary about stuff. No cams, only voices, not the fun ones inside your head that tell you to kill people though. Unless you're wearing headphones or have a transmitter in your skull or something.
Anyhow, why didn't I get a formal invitation yet? It's like you don't want someone telling dirty jokes while impersonating a Russian speaking English with a heavy accent in your podcast.

You're formally invited. Leon, podcasts are internet radio shows. There are web interfaces and phone apps that you use to play them, or just download an mp3. The aps are nore for subscription to automatically get them when they come out. For this one, I would probably just point to an mp3 for download and possibly put it on SoundCloud and Stitcher.

Oh, so it's basically a radio show, that's what I had gathered but better make sure. I pretty much never listen to radio of any kind but I wouldn't mind trying this out. Thanks.

You're formally invited. Pfft, you guys can't afford me. Unless there will be someone I can bully, in which case I'm in. Oh, so it's basically a radio show, that's what I had gathered but better make sure. I pretty much never listen to radio of any kind but I wouldn't mind trying this out. Thanks. It can be pretty cool beans if the people involved have a sense of humor and give a decent commentary. Most of them, however, boil down to a bunch of cretins presenting their uninformed opinions as facts and vice versa, often spiced with poor jokes (and not tasteful, obscene ones). Can't expect much more from the average podcast though, because they really are just conversations between a couple of people regarding a handful of topics.

A community podcast seems like a good idea though I'm not so sure there is a ton to talk about right now aside from speculation, brainstorming and wishlists (though I guess that has value in itself from a game design perspective?). Perhaps once a month or once every other month to coincide with the monthly updates from the campaign? But yeah if this happens I'll definitely give it a listen Oh, so it's basically a radio show, that's what I had gathered but better make sure. I pretty much never listen to radio of any kind but I wouldn't mind trying this out. Thanks. Just a heads up but every Friday update of the Bloodstained campaign had an associated podcast by the Playism crew with Ben Judd as a guest. They also had interviews with IGA, Belgrade, Yamane, etc. Some of the info in those podcasts are of course old news now but if you haven't heard them yet they are a good listen.

Cool. Maybe I should make this happen. But seriously, it sounds fun. It'd help build the community, people from Fangamer could get involved, it could recap update info, and speculate about stuff.

Podstained: Cast of the Night? Sounds good! I would definitely be interested in giving it the occasional listen as we get closer to the release date. Especially since each new update will hopefully bring a surge of new life and new information to the forum.

Hmm... I have a headset microphone, but I should probably get a snoball or yetti. I can't afford either at the moment, so I suppose headset will be the way to start. As for distribution, there's no telling what I'll do. Something free if possible. I'm already paying for a WordPress for the dear wife's blog, but I can't hijack that.

I've never done a podcast before, but there's a first time for everything, I guess. If you need a commentator, I'd be up for it

Well, I have some good news. I ran the podcast idea across Playism and Ben Judd, and it's been approved. It is independent from anything official, but it's primary goal will be to highlight things going on in the Bloodstained community. Also, you might remember a certain amazing chiptune artist called Jredd that whipped up a beat called Bloodstained Bump at my request. I asked Jredd if it would be cool if I could use his track and he had no problem with that! If you like video game music, check out what he's got blowing up right now in this Mega Man 2 collab song:
https%3A//soundcloud.com/relaybros/dr-willy
Also, here is his Bloodstained Bump in case you missed it over in the music board:
https%3A//soundcloud.com/jredd/bloodstained-bumpmp3
Follow him on SoundCloud and you will surely find some great music.
Alright, so I don't have a proper microphone and I've never recorded a broadcast like this, so it might take a while to get the first episode going. I haven't defined a format yet, so I'm open to your suggestions. I would like to release the show in between updates, and cover those as well as what goes on here. There are other Bloodstained communities out there too, and as always connecting fans will always be an interest of mine. Catching up on Reddit, Tumblr, CV Dungeon, Facebook Groups, etc. will all be part of the show.
I guess it's time to name the broadcast. I'm pretty straight forward, so The Bloodstained Community Broadcast is the first thing running through my mind. Podstained: Cast of the Night was suggested. Something with the Army of the Night would also be cool.

Well, if the name "Bloodstained Bump" wasn't taken for the music piece, I would've gone with that since it's short and alliterative. Would Jredd be okay with having a podcast that shared the same name as one of his tracks?
As for the format... -Try and aim for 30 minutes or less when starting out, then move towards longer episodes as the hosts and whoever is editing audio gets more experienced. -Open with a brief summary of what's on the agenda for the episode -Play the theme music for 30 seconds, then fade to... -Host and/or guest intros! Each host says their name or one sentence so the audience will know who they are -If there is a guest, ask them how they got into Castlevania and Bloodstained -Talk about the most recent Kickstarter update -Various talk about Bloodstained. Try and focus on subjects that are planned in advance, but if the conversation goes in a certain direction and there's good chemistry going on with the hosts, just run with it. -Closing remarks -End by playing the full version of the theme music.
I'd also recommend to avoid talking about the hosts/guests personal lives unless it relates to Bloodstained or Castlevania (e.g. how they got into/discovered the games, making cosplay/fanart).

Bloodstained Bump... I like it. I'm sure Jredd wouldn't mind. As for 30 second intros, I don't think that would be a good idea. Imagine trying to catch up and there are 6 episodes to listen to all at once. That would get a bit repetitive at that length.

Still, it'd be nice to ask Jredd. I'm sure he'd appreciate being asked. Even if he says no, nobody wants to be known as "that game community that stole the podcast name" or anything like that.
30 second music intros never bothered me, but that's a fair point. Would 10-15 seconds be a better length?
