To begin with, if this is in any way breaking the self-promotion rule, I apologize and take no issue with the thread being removed if it has to be. I am posting in off-topic rather than the more heavily trafficked general discussion to avoid people thinking I am here for self promotion, but if I am still running afoul of the rules, I understand any removal.

Anyway, if it is ok, I would like to ask anyone who has about 50 minutes to kill to give the first episode of the podcast my friend and I started, Multiple Lives, a listen. It is a gaming and tech podcast where we discuss a few of the top news stories each week. This episode was a bit too light on us talking about games we have been playing, but going forward we want to do that more as well.

I already know of some issues, such as a slightly shaky first couple minutes (I attribute it to nerves a bit) and a weird slight echo effect my cohost Nathan has for about 5-10 minutes in the middle of the show (still trying to figure out why that happened). This was my first ever sound editing project, skype recording project, and Podcast publishing project, so I probably made some mistakes along the way I'm sure.

But aside from that, please, let me know what you think. If you hated it and think we are boring, say so. We need to know if that is how we are coming off. If you liked some stuff, say so, we love encouragement too lol.

Episode 1 is not yet available by search on Itunes or most Apps as it takes a couple weeks to get into their search directories. But you can find it on our podomatic page linked below, where if you click the orange symbol on the top right you can download it on your Android App of Choice via the RSS feed. If you are an Apple person, at the bottom right you will find a "Subscribe on Itunes" button as well.

Here is the Episode 1 audio page directly:

And here is our main page, where you can find the subscribe buttons:

I really appreciate anyone who gives it a listen. I admit to being slightly nervous what people will think, but I hope you like it!

EDIT: And for those who do enjoy the show and have facebook, here is our FB page where you can ask us questions to answer on the show and also give us your thoughts on each episode: https://www.facebook.com/thepodcast1

Seems interesting. I'll check this out later today.

Edit:
Just listened to it, here is some advice:

Every time you introduced a new topic you would just ask for your friends impressions, he would then rant for some time and when he finished you guys would just move on to the next topic and repeat the process, making this whole podcast more like an interview then an actual discussion.

I think that your friend is a really good speaker and that he is well informed but i would also like to know what you have to say about the topics, try giving your impressions about the news first and then ask your friend what he thinks about it.

All that said, i really like this podcast and i am looking forward to the next one.

Yes, I noticed this a bit too. My thoughts were too brief, as if I was interviewing him or something. I'll do my best to correct that for next time. I'm glad you enjoyed it overall though, we hope to give you a better and better show each week

We just did Episode 2, and I think it is a substantial improvement over Episode 1. Kinda bummed I only got one person offering feedback, so posting here in hopes more people give it a go.
