Anyone out there want to take a stab at doing a podcast for GaragePunk Pirate Radio? Get Drunk & Play Records will no longer be part of the network/station, so I'd like someone new to replace it in the lineup. I'm specifically looking for a show that isn't stuck in the '50s/'60s rut, too. Nothing wrong with playing some stuff from that era, but I'd like a show that really mixes up the genres, and, especially, the ERAS, and isn't afraid to feature a good chunk of CURRENT bands from the Hideout as well as those making waves around the world. The show should be high-energy and fun to listen to. If you think you've got what it takes, read over the guidelines, put together a short pilot (test) show and shoot me message with a link so I can check it out.

Thanks!

Hey Drew, have you checked out the official GPPR Guidelines?  http://garagepunk.ning.com/group/garagepunk-pirate-radio-fans/page/podcast-guidelines

Good luck.

I have been contemplating starting a music podcast for years.  The plus side is I have 2 decades and 1000s upon 1000s of webpages / sites etc... to promote it on.  The not so plus side is I maintain and market 30 - 40 band websites and stay crazy busy. Just adding gigs on a constant basis is enough to make you scream at times.

I think it would be a blast.

I could look it all up on the net but since I joined this group I might as well use it.  What is the bare minimum you need to start your own podcast. Mic etc... Suggestions.  And where so you legally get the music to play. I read above you have an MP3 archive available. Is that correct? Just double checking.

I am going to do it soon. Just a matter of when. Lately I have been thinking about passing my workload on to someone else new in the music industry here in Austin.  Take some time off for travel, fun, or maybe starting a podcast.

Any good info / help / guidance would be appreciated.

I was just asking in the group what happened to the Get Drunk and play records show...what a pity, I loved it :-(

No, we'd prefer them to be an hour. Two hours is too long for a podcast.

Hello is it necessary that podcast have one hour long ? Two hours is possible ?

Thanks Divaluxe!  Much Appreciated.

Once you become an official podcaster on GP Pirate Radio, you get access to a treasure trove of music, including station ID MP3s. Fake it for now, or make your own!

I'll have it on your desk first thing Monday Morning! :)  Already a member at Music Alley, read the T.O.S. and understand exactly how to do this.   One thing though, that station I.D. thing. - how can I get that as an mp3?
