Barbershop Post Game Show to go live, beta test

This weeks game against ULL will either be on TV or the radio, so after the last breath of George or Hank and before Dave Brubeck starts in with the Piano solo, we will have a one hour live Radio post game show. It will be streaming and will be available straight to your PC or at least to those who agree to help us on this test run. If all goes well we hope to make this a weekly show after away games, where the majority of the fans cannot make the game. The equipment we use for the podcast will be utilized and we will be able to take live phone calls and put them on the air. There is a about a 30 second lag, but I don't think it will be a major issue. We will be limited in the first show to 25 users, but the quality should be pretty good. Once the 25 is filled up, then it won't allow anyone else to log in.

If you are interested in taking part in this test, There are a few things you will need to know and do.

1. WinAmp media player

This is the small mediaplayer that has to be used for the streaming broadcast. This isn't some fly by night software, and it is used by lots of internet streaming broadcasters. If you don't want to download it, then I'm sorry but we are not capable of utlizing Windows media player...yet

www.winamp.com   yes it's free



2. Before the game, we will list the web address that you enter into winamp and that will connect you to the stream. It's pretty straight forward..... Saturday beofre the game and during halftime, I will stream the latest podcast at that address, so you can at least see if you can connect and hear something. The live broadcast will start immediately after George and Hank finish

3. During the show if you wold like to call in, you will have to pm me with your number and we can call you as the show progresses. We have to do it that way right now, and don't PM me with the phone number to the local Wienerschnitzel, we will screen before we put you on the air.

We are not professionals and are far from it, but Harry and I feel that this is something that fans would like to hear and participate in. There could be some issues, but we are going for it anyway. Please post if you have downloaded it and plan to participate, so we can get a rough headcount.

If anyone has any questions or suggestions....fire away
Evan
