I agree. I liked the idea of it but hopefully there is another way that will work out. Too many problems this time. I still love hearing Gigi and the guys and I want this to work.
I heard that pink for girls and blue for boys was reveresed 100 years ago. Boys wore pink because it was a watered down version of the very masculine red. Whereas, girls wore blue just like the virgin Mary.

I think that this format was a flop. There was a 3 second delay and it was quite obvious and irritating compared to your usual stellar production. You need to find something that has a less hap-hazard conferencing setup, I’m not sure if the earlier live-cast was better or worse about letting you know who was in queue and talking but the area-code identification was not working.

Otherwise, I adore Gigi Deluxe. Thank you so much for having her back on the show, she is a delight.

OMG. You Don’t take a survey during the show! Those guys are RUDE.. but I died of laughter at the whole thing.
The delay is really annoyink dahlinks! Time for the next tech idea.

Yes, we were told that “You were getting some pretty nasty reverb which will be eliminated by making a simple pan adjustment on your mixer.”

As you know, we’re pretty good at audio so, why don’t they make this more clear?

more constructive criticism:
- Maybe just one caller at a time.
- it was a bit isolating to listen to you describe and interact with callers using video feeds. We can’t see that.
-Don’t ever answer phone calls from telemarketers during the show. (EDIT EDIT EDIT)
-Always call the police while witnessing violence.
otherwise…
- GiGi is a great guest and I loved her song at the end.
-anyone can license san rio images so basically if you have the cash you can make almost anything and slap the hello kitty name on it. (check it out)
- I think it is great that you are trying out a new format while you have an already successful show format. I love that the show changes over time.

By the way.. the pic of you three on this ep and on the home page is HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT! Did I say HOT?

Not sure I’m liking the new technology. I know this is a test but this, in it’s current format, is not something I would like all the time. I felt the callers took away from Gigi’s time. She’s a fantastic guest with a lot going on who could have shared a lot more. The delve into the Satanic religion could have been handled better between you, Marc and Gigi without any outside help. I love you guys and I love that you’re trying new things! But I don’t want the Feast of Fools to become a call-in show. I like the format the way it is, or was, you know what I mean

I was laughing hard when the telemarketer called cause I was just thinking how it would be funny if something funny and random like that happened and it did! Thanks for keeping it real Wish the guy played along.
As for the new technology, I love the idea and have been silently wishing that something like this would happen. Yes it is frustrating with the delays and everyone talking at once. Perhaps if it was only Marc and Fausto interacting with the listeners like some of the practice runs were. Those seemed to work fine. I think you should keep on trying, practice makes perfect. You have already learned a lot by trying it out. Now that the larger listener audience knows and understands what you are trying to do, maybe more can participate and also be mindful of turning their speakers off and etc.
Most importantly Marc and Fausto, thank you for staying in touch with the audience and trying to include us in on the podcast!! *muah*

Thanks for the continued effort you guys make. Have you tried emailing Keith and the Girl to see what format they use? I know they frequently have call ins on their show. I can already tell that 2008 will be a great year. With Feast of Fools it just keeps getting better and better.

The bloggies must have been fixed because you were so on top of that one.

Here’s an interesting site if you don’t already know about it: http://www.dudesnude.com

hey guys, while i still loved the show, i gotta say i’m not a big fan of this format! the nasty technical boo-boos for one thing, and for another, the fact that it’s interactive for just about everyone except me! ;-(

i’m looooving marc’s facial hair action though! i’m feeling tingly all over just imagining him… uhm… oh crap! sorry, fausto!

and one more thing… YOU SO WON THE GAY BLOGGIES!!! and we all know it!

The show sounded okay, however I didn’t view it live via the webcast, just heard the podcast.

Personally I think it might work better to eliminate the video (allows for more bandwidth for audio, not to mention video delay is the motherbitch). *Said based on feedback via forum*

Also, if you can get a “grunt” to prep the phone calls beforehand, getting people to make sure they are in a good calling environment, know who they are, etc, and have everybody in the show ready for the caller.

Fausto you kill me about the analog channels being turned off:

*** Some clarifing notes about HDTV / Analog Switch ***

If you have cable or satellite TV these convertor boxes will not provide you any benefit. They are only to be used for watching HDTV channels on an analog TV that doesn’t have an OTA (over the air) tuner installed.
Nearly every television sold in the past three years has an OTA tuner in it already, though the FCC is offering $40 coupons for tuners to offset the cost of getting one. These coupons are good only for tuners not new TVs and the tuners will not give your old TV high definition picture but rather downgrade the HDTV OTA signal to a standard signal (no ’snow’ on your screen, but same resolution, or quality, picture)

Feel free to message me if you have questions about whether or not you should get a tuner, no need to spend money you don’t have to!

totally loved the fact that i could hear the echos of your replys before you actually said it, it was fun saying the replies along with the podcast

Phil-
You didn’t miss any breakdown questions with Gigi. She did them way back in 2006.
