How to make a radio show?

Monday, March 17th, 2008

As this is a blog primarily about Tristan, and written entirely by Tristan, he has decided to stop referring to himself in the third person. All other people will continue to be referred to in this manner.

This past weekend I had the pleasure of shooting and editing a short web video for the CBC Radio program Spark. It’s called How To Make a Radio Show and it has just been posted to the Spark blog. It’s also embedded below.

It’s very informative and alarmingly true. Thanks to everybody at Spark for the opportunity to help educate the masses.

Twitter vs. opera retirees.

Tristan and Dan’s time at PodCamp was quick, but fulfilling. I think it’s safe to say that we now know everything we’ll ever need to know about social media in a disaster.

Although not at all a part of the festivities in Toronto a couple of weeks back, Shane and Tom from Shane and Tom’s Squeezebox share a pretty funny story about Tristan and Dan, the opera, and PodCamp in their latest episode. The part they leave out, however, is that after being told by the man best known as Scarborough Dude that their podcast was great and that they were “legends,” Tristan and Dan were asked which of them was Shane and which was Tom.
