swingset Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 I've started a podcast devoted to dual sport and adventure riding, noticed there were none that really focused on it so I remedied that! The show will focus on all things dual sport and adventure, bikes, trips, gear, interviews with riders, reviews, news, etc.Anyway, it's my first epi. so consider this a test flight but more shows are on the way, with interesting content on the line. It's for sure a collaborative medium, so feel free to throw ideas, comments and questions my way. It can't be too bad, it's free!The Dual Sport PodcastYou can listen online or download it there, and it will be available on Itunes in a day or so (just search for Dual Sport Podcast).You can find the show on Facebook too.

Big Green Valley Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 I didn't listen to the entire podcast, but I did save the site and I'll be back. I'm interested, for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buildit Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 So when you expanding to PBS? There's an idea I've had for a long time about getting PBS into doing a show on Ohio motorcycling of all types. Viewers could sent in clips and do interviews of riders and the different areas of Ohio they enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean would believe a big ugly guy like me telling you a bike is powerful or a 20 yo hottie in a short skirt and low cut top who doesn't look like she can even ride?Okay, yeah, I'd forget the bike was there too.

Casper Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 FYI: It still isn't showing up on iTunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swingset Posted December 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 FYI: It still isn't showing up on iTunes.I'm torn on this. One one hand, I hate Itunes with the burning white passion of a thousand suns so fuck them. On the other, people want it on Itunes.I'll double-triple-super-check my RSS. Other than that, from what I've learned, I can't do anything to expedite it. Lots of people submit their casts and Itunes inexplicably just sends it to the dark corner of Steve Jobs' (also known as Master Control Program) collection of lost software.I ran the .xml through a checker, verified just fine, but if they don't approve it (and there's no earthly reason they shouldn't), it just never shows up.

swingset Posted December 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 I'm kind of screwed on Itunes. I submitted it, but it's in limbo. No confirmation, no rejection, nothing. You can't really change or even access a page or "account" to check the status, reject, retry or anything. Much like Apple's myriad of other "so simple it doesn't work" solutions, you will have to pray that it shows up on your apple device.The easiest solution is just to download the .mp3 from my page, and add it to your itunes program locally. Beyond that, my hands are tied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buildit Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Sounded good Swing, trouble is, as you said, so many of the things you are discussing are a matter of personal opinion or preferance. It is still good to hear the voice of DS growing and look forward to the evolution of your podcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still good to hear the voice of DS growing and look forward to the evolution of your podcast.It's true of every motorcycle podcast, so much of what we do is subjective. But, if people expound on their experience it helps to put in context. If I suggest gear, and can detail how I ride, the conditions and my expectations it's a good review. If I say "I didn't like this" with no qualifier, it's a worthless review.But hopefully that's a small part of the show, more of what I plan on doing is talking about the tangible things, rides, destinations, experiences, what works, what doesn't.We'll see how it shakes out.

buildit Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Wasn't trying to be critical, just stating the obvious maybe. As I said the evolution should be interesting and hopefully we can all find a way to help or become involved?I also think some dual sport humor would fit your program perfectly. Nothing like a good do-hicky joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
