Introducing Camdencast - an Orioles podcast on CC

PrintA couple of weeks ago, Andrew and I were talking about a lack of podcasts in Birdland. Then we thought this would be a fun thing to add to the site. Before you know it, here's this post with the pilot episode of the tentatively-titled Camdencast.
It's totally work-safe in its content. Although I can't promise your boss won't get mad if you listen to podcasts at work. But neither your boss nor your kids will hear any f-bombs by accident, or at least not from us. There are also not any eardrum-destroying feedback loops. I checked myself.
Here's a little table of contents if you'd like to skip around:
0:00-5:15 Intro, talking about last Opening Day vs. this Opening Day
5:15-17:00 Community Outfield Projections
17:00-28:15 Community Pitching Projections
28:15-40:00 Community Catcher/Infield Projections
40:00-55:00 Random musings include: outfield depth, chance of reaching .500; logic of aiming for .500; chance of success in 2012; Zach Britton; health of young pitchers; Opening Night at Pickles
You can listen to the podcast through this link. It'll start playing automatically in your browser. Stacey tells me it should download to your phone if you'd like for the evening commute. Or for whatever else you'd like to have it. She also says it's "like talk radio that doesn't make you want to put a screwdriver in your ear."
So please give us a listen when you can, and especially let us know what you think, as we'd like to make a semi-regular (2x a month?) feature out of this concept. The better we can do, the better for everyone. Happy Friday, Birdland!

WHAT A FUCKING BRILLIANT IDEA
Bosses can’t see that comment, right?
Seriously, I love this. Way to join the 21st century, CC!

and one additional thought
You guys should upload to iTunes so that people can subscribe automatically. Folks who don’t yet know CC will be able to find your work as well. Details here.

Thanks for the link, zk.
Two weeks ago the amount I knew about this process was zero, and I am sure there’s a lot to learn. Doing this RSS feed seems like the trickiest part, but I’m fairly confident I can figure it out when I sit down and look at it.

Someone on Twitter asked if we'll be putting them on iTunes
So we should definitely look into that.

Please meet your new best friend camdencast. You guys are going to spend the next hour together…
Sincerely

This is so amazing
I’m totally thrilled about it. I listened to it this morning while I was getting ready for work and it was perfect. Big kudos to EME and Andrew for taking the initiative to figure out how exactly to make a podcast and for putting it together.

aw shucks
in seriousness, I’m pretty pleased with it. There are a lot of kinks to work out, but I thought it came out a lot better than I expected. I’m looking forward to giving it another go soonish.
In 1914 Charles Mulligan got drunk, wandered into a field, and punched a man to death. Well, that man turned out to be a cow, and that cow turned out to be a delicious steak.
This summer
if y’all want, I’ll have time then. If two O’s number crunchers aren’t enough, you could have three instead.

If you need a 4th…

nolan reimold movie
I’m so down on helping on this project.
Cast List
Nolan Reimold – Ideal: (Bulked up) Edward Norton, Reality: Joel McHale from Community.
NR’s Girlfriend – Ideal: Drea de Matteo, Reality: Drea de Matteo (score!)
Dave Trembley – Ideal: Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Reality: William Shatner
Peter Angeles – Ideal: Kirk Douglas, Reality: CGI Golem.
Andy MacPhail – Ideal: William Macy, Reality: Alan Thicke.
Folksy literate type.
Drea de Matteo is perfect
We also need to find that perfect hometown girl to fall in love with him for who he really is.

Hoffman is playing Art Howe in Moneyball

and i still think...
he looks more like buck.

yeah he does
Hoffman looks nothings like Howe. Hoffman is stocky while Howe is kind of lanky and old. James Cromwell works much better for Howe… not that appearance accuracy should be an important consideration.
Folksy literate type.
you had me at james cromwwell.

he would just do a heel-turn at the top of the third act
even if Howe doesn’t in the script.

Normally I don't work on Fridays, but I had to come in and catch up from Hell Week
and I logged into CC and saw this podcast thing and said, “Why not.” So I got it going and then minimized the screen as I got into my work bullshit and then an hour later, I realized I hadn’t done any work because I was totally focused on what EME and Andrew were saying. This is really friggin’ cool. Except now I’m one more day behind at work.
Having actually hung out with EME and Andrew in person
and recognizing both of their voices, I kept having to fight back the urge to jump into the conversation since they obviously wouldn’t respond to me.

haven't had the chance to listen yet, but...
good show, lads.
the future is now!

I think you guys did a fine job
And I’m a fan of the idea and format – listened to it in the light rail on the way back into the city.
I dunno about the specifics of getting it released through iTunes like mentioned above, but I’d second that suggestion selfishly, since it makes it easier to work with on the iphone.
I was hoping that Franchise would call me up halfway through
but alas.

Actually,
a live podcast with callers would be a really nice touch! I used to do it, but didn’t have the time anymore.
You Gotta Do This!
One of the best sports podcasts i discovered was called Bear Down…for the Chicago Bears. They did a cast every week after a Bears game and it was one of the funniest and best informed shows about any sport. Camden Chat is far and away the best blog I’ve discovered about baseball and life and love and tankeray…it’s a natural for a podcast. And don’t be surprised if it blows up into something big.
We need another Podcast!
I’ve listened to this one twice already.
Also, I’d be down to record a musical intro for your show if you like, would be fun.
(for free obviously!)
Keep up the great work!
