Show 068 Quick-Guide
  • Elsie’s new obsession - Downton Abbey - and so of course we go off an a tangent!
  • Advertising, sponsors and media kits people! That’s our next webinar!!!
  • Elsie was doing some testing people - and Jessica wonders - hmmmm.
  • Give us some feedback on the quality of our audio! We’re doing something awesome :)
  • Skype alternatives begin!
    • Zoom
      • There is a free account
      • It provides a recording - nice quality
      • You can take the video off and only use audio
      • They have a smartphone app
      • You download the client software
      • Fuze
        • It supports and amazing amount of people in a room with video!
        • There is a free account BUT does not provide a recording through Fuze
        • You can choose to do the conversation audio only
        • You need to record on your own, but a great way to connect with your people
        • They have a smartphone app
        • You download the client software
        • Go To Meeting
          • It is paid, no free account
          • You get the recording
          • You can just do audio if you want
          • They have a smartphone app
          • You download the client software
          • Uberconference
            • There is a free account
            • Surprising good quality from Uberconference
            • If both people are using a microphone, it sounds awesome, if your guest is on the telephone the levels are drastically off
            • It is browser based - no downloaded
            • Blab/Podclear
              • The conversation will not be private - it is a public conversation
              • There is no way to do audio only
              • They provide the recording for you, which is decent
              • It’s free!
              • Google Hangouts
                • You can do a private hangout
                • You do have the option of doing audio (I was wrong)
                • Other free conferencing services
                  • not the best - use Uberconference
                  • Double-enders
                    • Work best when you are dealing with another podcaster or someone that has a microphone and knows how to record themselves.
                    • Ringr
                      • Both guests NEED to have the app downloaded
                      • Both people need to be on the phone
                      • Post uploading to the Ringr service might be an issue
                      • RECAP
                        • NOT software - this is a hardware solution
                        • There might be a learning curve and workflow to make this work
                        • Blue Microphones and their controversial giant poster with woman + fallic Yeti
                        • Responses from the community about the Blue Microphones marketing at TwitchCon
