Zacktorial Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Howdy, folks. You may recognize me as Zack! on the OC ReMix discord. I've been enjoying OCR since roughly 2002, and a few months ago I was reminiscing about the OCR podcast in its various incarnations and how much I missed them. I voiced this in the 25th birthday hangout, and @Liontamer encouraged me to get off my butt and just restart the pod. So I did. Check it out here: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2445308.rss Ad-free, not trying to make a single cent off of this, and I keep the language tame so that you can listen with kids if you want to. I'm very much an amateur at this, hoping to get better at it as I go. I learn a little more every recording and editing session, so fingers crossed a few more of these and thing will be half decent. If you're reading this, episode 2 is out, so go grab it if you're interested. I'm aware that a few of the voiceovers sound, well, awful. I had the wrong mic selected, didn't notice until edit time, and I have a cold now so my voice is all funny. I figure you guys can deal with a couple minutes of webcam mic. The format is roughly news, new remixes with my worthless commentary on them, some random segment that strokes my ego, and then one final Russian Remix Roulette track. I remember them rolling a die and playing a RRR track on the very first incarnation of the OCR pod, and I wanted to keep it going. Question for the powers that be: any objections to me using the OCR logo as the pod's thumbnail? colorado weeks, Eino Keskitalo and Nitwit 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisXswe Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Listened through the episodes, I liked the setup of it. is the podcast going to be a monthly happening? since it covers music released from each month. Didn't personally understand the roll of the die, but still a funny segment to roll a die, didn't sadly add much to me as a listener that didn't fully graps the reason for it.

I just finished writing February's episode and will be recording, editing, and hopefully releasing it next week. The roll of the die is just for fun. The Russian Remix Roulette has six songs, I have a six sided die, and ye olde OCR pod from over a decade ago did it, so I'm just keeping up the tradition.

ChrisXswe Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I see, then depending on how many tracks that releases each month can really vary the episode lenght, will there be any interviews set with any of the remixers for example? or just a monthly summary of the released tracks then? Ahh I see, so me as a listener don't know which tracks are going to be played anyway? just a roll that selects a song that the listener don't have any connection to? or is there any pattern to tracks related to this die roll?

I'd love to do interviews at some point, but until April I am pretty swamped at work, so I haven't been very proactive about setting something up. Yeah, it is purely random. Six random tracks on the main page, one of them randomly selected. No rhyme, reason, or pattern. It is a pretty great way to just play a song that I probably otherwise wouldn't.
