Podcast Feeds!

I’ll keep this post updated as necessary, but here are some links you can add to your podcast app to keep updated on my various podcasts!

First is Super Awesome Fun Time With Rand, my sound collage series.

Second is the main Radio Free Caemlyn feed. This is where all the live shows, such as Friday Night Trivial and Radio Free Caemlyn Project, are done.

Third is Friday Night Trivial. As I type this there’s nothing there, but I plan on posting archives of the old Friday Night Trivia as well as the current Friday Night Trivial shows there.

Next is Marble Operator, the podcast I did covering the YouTube series Marble Hornets, Dark Harvest, TribeTwelve, and MLAndersen.

Radio Free Caemlyn’s Friday Night Trivia L: The Return

Last night, the first night of June 2018, I restarted my Friday Night Trivia series under a slightly new banner. My original title was Friday Night Trivial, but during last night’s love show, Ian the6thDoctor suggested the name you see in the blog title; I think I’ll go with that.

Just like I have a post compiling links to my sound collages, here I’ll collect episode links.

Update: As of Friday, 8 May, 2020, Friday Night Trivial is officially concluding. The show ended last year on an uncertain note, and I brought it back during the Great Quarantine of April 2020, but the show is again returning to the shadows of the archives. Thank you to everyone who made it to the live shows.

Another sound collage created back in mid-July of 2022. I remember thinking, “where are the brakes on this thing?” as I was making this, as this collage goes for two hours; I just couldn’t find a good stopping point at the one-hour mark and just kept going.

Playlist:

“Never Say Goodbye” — Rave Channel

“Little Fluffy Clouds” — The Orb

“Turn Down Day” — The Cyrkle

“Right Back” — Yuri Kane

Super Awesome Fun Time With Rand 131: Scenes From a Rainy Window

Please subscribe to theshow’s RSS feedvia your preferred podcast app/client.

This was a sound collage I created back in mid-July, during a rather persistent thunderstorm one Sunday afternoon. I placed my microphone in my window, pointed outward, and just recorded. I then layered on distorted audio clips into the mix. This is rather different from practically any other sound collage I’ve made so far. I hope you enjoy it.

This episode combines:

Ambient thunderstorm recording

“Scenes From an Italian Restaurant” — Billy Joel

Clip from a Coast to Coast AM episode w/Art Bell

Some Joe Frank episode. Maybe Lost Souls?…

I’ll add more when I listen back.

As always, please enjoy and thank you for listening.

Sound collage created the morning of Saturday, June 25, 2022. Ambient sounds from the BBC Sound Effects library, with some samples from Quiet American field recordings. Episode subtitle is a reference to Vancouver’s KISS-FM changing format, firing one of their hosts, and that host protesting by playing Rage Against the Machine’s “Killing in the Name” on loop for hours and hours.

Please enjoy and thank you for listening.

I’ve been meaning to make a new sound collage for a while. The other night, I was watching StereotoneTim edit some Beach Boys tracks from their unreleased album “Smile”. She does her audio editing in Audacity, but watching that made me want to do some audio editing, so I opened Audition, started playing with some archived sound loops, and off I went.

Let’s get to the playlist:

Super Awesome Fun Time With Rand 126: There Must Be More

I’ve had this one sitting in Audition for over a week. It started off as just me playing around with a prank call from a recentSnow Plow Show episode. I happened to be listening to Alan Parsons Project’s “Mr. Time” at the same time. You see, I have an automated weekly tweet that posts a link to that song on YouTube and I found myself listening to that song again. Anyway, I edited something together, posted it to Mastodon, then linked that tweet on the Twitter machine. The multitrack session still sat open in Audition, but I forgot about it.

Around a week later, I remember I have that just sitting there, and I had edited together about 14 minutes of stuff, so I went ahead and started adding to it, making a full sound collage. I recorded myself reading something I had typed up in Notepad++ a while ago, and added that to the mix.

Let’s get to the playlist:
