Snap, Crackle, Pop! An OPFOR Podcast
By Charlie
Hey folks. John and I have finished another podcast, about the current situation between the Israelis and the Palestinians.
John and I have disagreed in the past over the nature of Israeli/Palestinian engagement, and I think we actually arrive at a consensus during our discussion.
Moving on, John and I are trying to sync our schedules to put up a weekly podcast. Our largest barrier is technology. So, as usual, we need to reach out to the audience for help.
How can we fix our podcasts, get rid of the pops, and improve our sound quality?
OPFOR Radio Returns
By Charlie
Our third installment of OPFOR radio is up. John and I discuss the Arab/Israeli conflict, Some views about Israel from different perspectives, What’s going on today in Gaza, Israel’s future plans and implications, Iran, Israel’s neighbors, and America’s role in all of this.
Check it out! Feedback is appreciated, and we're gradually working up the technology curve to get guests. By the way, if we could do some interviews, who would you be interested in listening to?
But listen to the Podcast, first!
**John Says** And the sound quality doesn't suck this time around! Well okay, it still sucks a little bit, but big improvement from Podcasts 1 & 2.
Op-For Radio Strikes Back
By Charlie
It's the MOAP: The mother of all podcasts! Click here for the second installment of Op-for Radio!
In our second podcast, recorded from the 2006 Milblog Conference, John and I interview an all-star cast of milbloggers.... Matt and Uncle Jimbo from Blackfive, LT Smash, and Chuck from TC Overide.
We discuss where Milblogging is going, combat in Iraq, and OPSEC for bloggers. Then we move on to a roundtable on topics such as immigration, and the current hot-button issue: Iran.
**John** MOAP is long, but guys this is podcasting at its absolute flippin' best. We started with a two-on-one format, with Chuck from tcoverride up first. Chuck was so good that Charlie and I were like "hell, just stay for SMASH's interview." And then there was three. SMASH was so damn good that we had him stay too. Enter Uncle Jimbo and Blackfive. By that time all Charlie and I had to do was say one word (e.g. immigration, or Iran) and let the group carry it away.
I dare any of the big-time radio gurus to match the expertise we had sitting around that table. An army armor officer who was wounded in Iraq leading his men, a naval surface warfare officer who ran security watches in the Persian Gulf, two former Army special forces soldiers, an Army intelligence officer, and one dumb zoomie (this guy, heh).
It's some 45 minutes long and a little fuzzy, but you guys are absolutely freakin' nuts if you ignore this one....
