Behind the Scenes - Podquisition Episode 52

Hey all

So, because it’s Jim’s one year anniversary on Patreon we put out a second Podquisition episode in a single week. What fun.



Most of the challenge for this episode was logistical. I had to record Episode 51, edit it, get it to Jim and uploaded, seek additional questions and curate a lengthy longlist, then record this one then edit it, then get it over to Jim all in around 48 hours. It was a challenge to fit in around other work.

The episode itself was pretty easy going from a technical perspective, and an awful lot of laid back fun. Gavin’s musical moment was a particular highlight during the editing process, but did require messing around with a little in post to stay audibly in line with the volume of surrounding audio etc.

I had an episode of Oh No! Video Games! to record back to back with this, followed by the Nintendo Direct that happened Thursday night, so we were on a little bit of a tight recording schedule.

Mainly, I found this really fun from an organisational perspective. More laid back and silly than normal, and I think it turned out rather well.

Oh, and Jim’s little line at the end is completely unedited in terms of pacing etc. Jim often ends recordings with sweet little moments like that, and this seemed a nice week to give people a look at that genuine soft nature of the moments he brings as we finish weekly recordings.
