My, how Gator fan Spencer Hall sounds intimidating when he's talking twice

by Joel Hollingsworth on Sep 17, 2008 12:00 PM EDT in Tennessee Volunteer Football

We had the pleasure of talking with Spencer Hall of EDSBS.com, EDSBS Live, The Sporting News, and The Sporting Blog last night on an experimental TalkShoe internet broadcast. It was actually a moderate success, I think, with several participants. Spencer was fantastically entertaining as always, so much so that we decided to add an echo effect to his voice for the entire show just show you could hear everything he said twice.

Seriously, if anybody with podcasting/internet-casting experience knows how to fix that, let me know, because I'd like to do more of these but without the echo. Anyway, have a listen here. As I said, Spencer's always a lot of fun:

It sounds like somebody was monitoring through a speaker when they should have been listening with headphones. But I’d expect weird feedback and other unpleasant side effects if that was the case.

I guess it’s possible Talkshoe was just jacked up. I’ve done half a dozen or so live podcasts on there and it’s never been a problem.

The odd thing is that TalkShoe automatically disables the computer speaker output when you’re on the phone. So you should never have a case where somebody has audio input to TalkShoe coupled to a potential feedback output. If I understand correctly, all three of us who tried phones were on land lines, so the cell service bounce shouldn’t have been a problem.

What really makes it odd to me is that (if I understand things correctly) the echo didn’t come through on Joel’s end. I think he heard everything fine, and it was the rest of us who were having problems.

It sounds like I

was the only one connected by computer . Of course, Orson was, initially, too, and then by phone, and we had the same problem both times. So maybe it was just the fact that I was connected by computer. I was using headphones, though, and I never heard the echo live.

Huh.

Go Vols!
