 Relevant excerpts from some of our earliest chats Context: Mimi had posted in some places looking for people to start the podcast with. She organized one recording session that failed a day or two before this (the file didn't record or had audio problems or something). I was actually planning to make my own ASOIAF podcast at that time (more details on that 'what if' will be revealed in our upcoming episode with Podcast historian Brynden) but I decided to see if I could join up with Mimi's project instead.Session Start (Amin:[Mimi]): Mon Mar 03 15:41:40 2008
[15:41] Amin: hey
[15:42] [Mimi]: hi.
[15:42] Amin: I read your asoiaf podcast post
[15:42] [Mimi]: oh yeah?
[15:42] Amin: hows that going
[15:42] [Mimi]: not bad, we've had one recorded discussion thus far.
[15:43] [Mimi]: we're breaking down each episode into separate parts.
[15:43] [Mimi]: focusing on various topics.
[15:44] Amin: ok
[15:44] Amin: yeah I would be interested in that. I like talking about the books:-D
[15:44] Amin: plus I play all of the board games a lot, that actually gives you an insight on the families, even tho theres not much background
[15:44] [Mimi]: cool, do you have skype?
[15:44] Amin: you start to even sympathize with greyjoy or lannister at times:-P
[15:44] Amin: yes
[15:45] [Mimi]: what's your username?
[15:45] Amin: lemme check
[15:45] Amin: i use it all the time but just with one or two friends
[15:49] [Mimi]: so are you from myspace, facebook, SA forums, westeros forums, or livejournal?
[15:49] Amin: livejournal although I hvae facebook and westeros forums
[15:49] [Mimi]: gotcha.
[15:49] [Mimi]: and added.
[15:50] Amin: send me a txt
[15:50] Amin: didnt notice anywy
[15:50] Amin: anything
Session Close ([Mimi]): Mon Mar 03 16:07:53 2008 Context: The next night, episode 1 recording. I think this recording might has failed or been cancelled at the last minute but I'm not sure (see later chat and the dates.. it doesn't add up). The audacity question is relation the original plan of all of us recording using audacity, separately. The idea in theory might have been to have separate audio tracks for each person, allowing us to edit out overlaps. That didn't last long. Session Start (Amin:[Mimi]): Tue Mar 04 18:59:55 2008
[18:59] Amin: hey
[19:00] [Mimi]: hi
[19:00] Amin: are we still on for tonight?
[19:00] [Mimi]: yeah
[19:00] [Mimi]: waiting on the conference from chris
Session Close ([Mimi]): Tue Mar 04 19:00:55 2008
Session Start (Amin:[Mimi]): Tue Mar 04 19:01:05 2008
[19:01] [Mimi]: got audacity?
Session Close ([Mimi]): Tue Mar 04 19:01:32 2008 Context: This was definitely after the first episode was recorded successfully. Session Start (Amin:[Mimi]): Thu Mar 13 22:33:15 2008 [22:33] [Mimi]: so i'm listening to this again [22:33] [Mimi]: god i am a goon [22:33] Amin: i wanna hear it lol [22:33] Amin: can you upload to the mega site [22:33] [Mimi]: also, while i'm working on the update, how old are you? [22:33] Amin: you dont have google talk? [22:33] [Mimi]: and where are you located [22:33] [Mimi]: and gimme some likes and dislikes [22:33] [Mimi]: either within the series or not, doesn't matter [22:33] Amin: what is this a dating site [22:33] Amin: lol [22:33] [Mimi]: just doing little mini-profiles on us [22:33] [Mimi]: haha yes [22:34] [Mimi]: i'm trying to snag a man via podcast! [22:34] Amin: ok sure every podcast needs its sex symbols [22:34] [Mimi]: okay hold up [22:34] Amin: we can probably handle that part [22:34] Amin: you for the guys, me for the ladies [22:34] Amin:  [22:34] [Mimi]: dude, i can just send it to you over skype [22:34] [Mimi]: i'm sure it won't take super long [22:34] Amin: ok lets try Session Close ([Mimi]): Thu Mar 13 22:42:02 2008 Context: The idea of starting episodes with a short best of/funny moment is first discussed (in a slightly different form) [00:00] Amin: i would also cut the intros into an intro file
[00:00] Amin: or something
[00:00] Amin: i think the best way to get an audience is to start with that good chat right away
[00:01] Amin: if they like it they will go back and listen to intro file
[00:01] [Mimi]: that doesn't really make sense
[00:01] [Mimi]: i think that if anyone was interested enough in the series to download a podcast of it
[00:01] [Mimi]: they wouldn't just stop it after three or four minutes and discard it
[00:01] Amin: i dont know, just from my own way i would do it. When I start listening i barely listen to intros, i just skip ahead. i guess they can do it too
[00:02] Amin: skip ahead if they want
Session Close ([Mimi]): Fri Mar 14 00:02:26 2008
Session Start (Amin:[Mimi]): Fri Mar 14 00:02:54 2008
[00:02] Amin: i see your point
[00:03] Amin: i guess some people are more into it than me tho
[00:03] Amin: if i didnt like it after a few minute i probably would stop
[00:03] [Mimi]: yeah, i don't know, i listen to some podcasts
[00:03] Amin: at least for the first time i tried it
[00:03] [Mimi]: and it's very jarring when someone just jumps right into a topic without any sort of introduction
[00:03] Amin: once i know a podcast crew is good i have more patience
[00:03] [Mimi]: it's like walking in halfway through a conversation
[00:03] Amin: yeah what i meant was have the intro file and podcast file relesaed side by side
[00:04] Amin: they can listen to intro if they want
Session Close ([Mimi]): Fri Mar 14 00:06:27 2008 Context: Podcast Names are discussed Session Start (Amin:[Mimi]): Fri Mar 14 20:28:24 2008
[20:28] [Mimi]: so chris and i are brainstorming names
[20:28] [Mimi]: he likes the idea of "the brave companions"
[22:34] Amin: ok
[22:34] *** Auto-response from [Mimi]: I'm not here right now
[23:04] Amin: not a bad one
[23:04] Amin: whats the other names
[23:05] Amin: sorrowfull podcasters?
[23:05] Amin: lol
Session Close ([Mimi]): Fri Mar 14 23:07:48 2008 Context: 40 subscribers - 100 in the future? Session Start (Amin:[Mimi]): Fri Apr 04 23:06:58 2008
[23:06] Amin: hey

hahaha everyone is so shy, i think this ppg cracks me up the most Quote: the conference calls would take place via skype, so they would be free and available to anyone living anywhere. it wouldn't be a constant, demanding project as we're both busy people and don't expect the project to become an immediate weekly task or anything.
shiiiit. anyone living anywhere ?? as opposed to anyone living nowhere? NOT a constant, demanding project?? DONT expect it to be come an immediate weekly task or anything?? not if it was up to house manwoody, keep chugging out the episodes.....weekly if possible, cmon hosts........if you need to revert to illicit drugs to keep up the pace do whatcha gotta do!!
