The Rain: I had just bought Willennium and was sitting on the couch..putting stickers in these books listening to the album.. When The Rain came on I had to stop what I was doing, and I just sat there and listened..and I thought it was so dope I had to quickly replay it str8 after.. I couldnt believe Will had done such a dope track Boom! Shake The Room: 2 memories here.. 1 is seeing it at no. 1 on this music video show(video hits on channel 10 for those in Australia) and it was actually credited as "jazzy jeff" and i didnt realise it was the fresh prince...then I had people at school talking about it and they just though the fresh prince (TV Star) had recorded a track from TV to music not knowing their jjfp history obviously :kungfu: Live at Union Square: I'm on the bus and me and my friends are laughing at how high pitched Wills voice is not having broken ..sounding so young :haha: I'm All That: I just have this memory of never knowing what that damn chorus was for about 7 or 8 years I'm Looking For The One: okay i'd never seen this music video right..so i'd always request it.. and the request show would get so many requests I couldnt watch it all the time.. the weirdest thing happened.. like 3 or 4 times I just caught the last half of the video.. weird timing.. I never saw the full video til i got the greatest hits compilation I Wanna Rock: I organised everyone I knew to request I Wanna Rock! even my grandmother! :lolsign: yes i got her to write a letter to the station requesting it.. The hilarious moment was when the host of the show said "we've received a lot of requests for this video this week" Yes it was all masterminded by me!! and i got to see the video :2thumbs: Lovely Daze: I'm walking down the street and go into this record store I always check and their in the store is Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince's Greatest Hits.. The same week it was released in the US on import..couldnt believe it! so I rushed homeand listened to lovely daze..a JJFP track i'd never heard which was a huge thing in 98! Miami: when i think of Miami I think of Will's purple shirt :lolsign: Don't Say Nothin: When this site was online back in 97.. the quote up the top said "she asked me if its true that me and jeff broke up.. Helll Naaa!!! Potnas: hearing Jeff on the vocals for the first time in ages was a great feeling :jazzy: Nothin on My Mind: whenever i hear this track I imagine Will at his pool ..trying to swim sum..when he cant swim :rofl: Here He Comes: I'm sitting in a hotel room with Will and Jeff and Wills writing and rappin back to us.. "he can rap, he can act..." wait that was a dream right :kool:

if i told you...i'd have to kill you :4-only1ha:

Wes I think you and dave are awesome together so dont leave us :lolsign: I would however like to see maxfly and ted get mics and then debate this to the death on a future podcast :rofl:

naa i can confirm Will loves code red.. I think he was either referring to and in this corner or big willie style.. 12 years later Will remembers the lyrics to rare b-sides off code red but forgetslyrics to men in black off big willie style maybe that tells us sumthin :wiggle:

theres a difference between doin a podcast and doin a professional podcast.. some people are just good at it..Dave is one..he's funny..pretty smart and has a way with words making him a good host.. obviously in the end we will be able to include everyone in the podcast.not everyone is gonna be available to do it each week...at the moment I'm just focusing on getting the first podcast done..and for that we need to do it right.. I dont want it to become just 4 or 5 people talking..whats the point of that? why would the thousands of will smith fans who visit this site want to listen to that? anyway my initial point is still valid you need 2 or 3 people doing it regularly to become good..because you build up a history..its more than just communication on a message board.. then once we get the podcast up and running with subscribers all the people who said they wanted to participate in this post will get their opportunity....

Hey Top Dawg its Interscope that is in control of when the music is released... Will and Overbrook make all the creative decisions..the album cover the music etc etc.. but its Interscope who determine when the album is released when switch is released to radio when the switch video is released..remember Will had the switch video shot in august of 2004..he was ready and he said he wanted it out in August..and it took 8 months for interscope to release it..thats clearly on interscope not Will.. I have no doubt in my mind that Interscope is the reason for the delay of Party Starter not Will and Overbrook... Either Interscope is sleeping or they just dont put Will as a high priority compared to other artists on their roster..

2 albums that sucked..hmm born to reign and ??? :hmm:

happy birthday Ewan!!! :2thumbs:

yeah it was definitely worth it.. I think we gotta put a lot more planning and preparation for the official 1st podcast..really work out what we are gonna talk about

Kenny Lattimore - Everyday

:lolsign:

yeah this is awesome

Could you believe it Jonny..the only time it didnt record all the skype chat was when we did it.. I think it was because we were in a conference and then exited and joined again.. In future i'll only start recording once we are in the conference.. its pretty funny hearin the 10 failed attempts its just everyone getting frustrated at the echo :lolsign:

To do a good podcast I think we need a few things.. 1. Good Hosts : Dave & Kev(hopefully) 2. Have the same people doing it regularly so they can get better at it, build repour etc. 3. 15 minutes max is plenty for 1 show. People aren't going to be listening longer than that..and you can fit plenty in in 15 minutes.. when using Skype we need to 1. make sure everyone has closed all programs other than skype 2. make sure people have headphones/earphones plugged in to cut down any interference 3. have a maximum of 4 in a conference, with 5 theres just too many problems

we can only hope

awesome..Will ..always great with the fans :2thumbs:

signature is hilarious Jonny!! that's make a great t-shirt actually.. "welcome to willywood"

Okay I think we sorted out everything that could go wrong this week.. I now have about 10 files of us talking about echos :lolsign: :lolsign: Okay I've figured out how to record it.. now we just need to schedule a time when Dave can be there.. as jonny, wes, me n julie quickly realised..we cant do this without Dave :rofl:

Podcasting FAQ Note: This FAQ is published under a Creative Commons license. This means that you're free to reproduce it or publish information from it at your site, if you'd rather not reinvent the wheel. See details at the end of the FAQ. If you have questions you'd like to see added, or other comments, please contact us. Q: What's podcasting? A: According to Wikipedia, "Podcasting is the practice of making audio files available online in a way that allows software to automatically detect new files and download them." Technically, this is accomplished using RSS 2.0 news feeds to provide information about a collection of audio files in MP3 format. In common use, podcasting is often used to refer to independent audio shows that can be downloaded from the Internet. Q: What's cool about podcasting? A: Podcasting lets anybody with a microphone, a computer and an Internet connection publish audio shows that can be listened to by people anywhere in the world. Because the barriers to entry are very low, podcasting is rapidly becoming a popular way for people share audio shows. Podcasts are free and can be automatically downloaded to portable media players, so you can listen to them whenever it's convenient. Coolest of all is that if you've got a great idea for a podcast, you can probably do it! Q: What sort of shows are available as podcasts? A: There are already many types of podcasts, including audio books, music shows, news, humor and sports. Most podcasts are created by amateurs, but there are also commercial podcasts and independently produced podcasts. There are podcasts in Dutch, French, German, Icelandic, Italian, Mohawk, Spanish, and many other languages. Q: Do I need to have an iPod to listen to podcasts? A: No. The first podcast clients were designed to subscribe to audio shows, automatically download them and sync them to iPods. As podcasting has evolved, podcast clients have become available that work with most portable digital audio players. Many podcast sites support downloading shows directly from the site, and many directories support playing podcasts directly. Q: Do I need special software to listen to podcasts? A: No. Many podcasters and directories let you listen to podcasts as streaming media, directly from the site. Podcasting clients are used to streamline downloading podcasts and copying them to portable media players. Q: Where can I find podcasts? A: The most popular places for finding podcasts are the directories at iPodder.org, PodcastAlley and Podcasting News. There are many other podcast directory sites. Many podcast applications also include a list or directory of podcasts. Q: Who invented podcasting? A: Podcasting is based on capabilities built into the RSS 2.0 specification, which was developed by Dave Winer. Adam Curry catalyzed the podcasting concept in September of 2004, when he released a script that automatically downloaded audio files referenced in RSS files. While there are many precedents for Curry and Winer's work, they put the pieces together and popularized the idea of podcasting. Because of this, they are generally considered the "podfathers" of the podcasting community. Q: Do I need to use a Mac? A: No. You can create and listen to podcasts using Windows, Mac OS X and Linux podcasting software. Q: What are some of the top podcasts? A: There are several ways to rank podcasts, and depending on how you rank them, different podcasts come out on top. Measuring activity: One way to rank podcasts is by the amount of click activity that they receive at popular podcast directories. Podcasting News' Top 25 Podcasts are ranked in this way. This is an effective way to look at what podcast listeners are interested in, to the extent that site visitors reflect the podcasting community as a whole. It doesn't measure actual downloads of a podcast. Measuring downloads: Another approach is to compare the number of downloads that various podcasts get. Because accurate data on downloads is not available for all podcasts, it's not currently possible to rank podcasts in terms of actual downloads or listens. Voting/ranking - Another approach is to have users vote on or rate podcasts. This approach provides a measure of a podcast's ability to motivate listeners to vote, but doesn't measure interest in podcasts or actual downloads. Examples of this approach are Podcasting News' Top 25 Rated Podcasts and Podcast Alley's Top 10 list. Reviews: There are also several sites that review podcasts. As reviewers become established, they may become an effective way to learn about new podcasts. What is RSS? RSS files are text files that contain information about things available on the Internet. For podcasting, RSS files are used to syndicate information about a podcast "channel" (the show as a whole), and also individual podcast episodes. The article Understanding RSS News Feeds discusses how to use them for podcasting. Q: What can you do with a podcast? A: A browse through a podcast directory shows the variety of podcasts that are available. Here are just a few things podcasting can be used for: On-demand versions of radio shows Personal audio blogs Audio books Music shows Audio tour guides Educational content that depends on audio (language, music, etc) Marketing for musicians Distributing sermons and other religious content Storytelling Sports coverage Distributing/synchronizing audio and video files for business. Q: I've got a show that features top 40 hits. Do I need to worry about copyrights and stuff like that? A: Yes. The best advice, for now, is to feature independent or Creative Commons licensed music in your podcast. Podcasts are downloads. When people access your podcast, they are copying an audio file from your server to their computer. If your podcast has traditionally copyrighted music in it, you're probably infringing on somebody's copyright. So check out some independent or Creative Commons music. It's a little more work, but a lot more rewarding for everybody involved! Q: I'm planning on podcasting some audio books. What software and microphone will I need? A: Two of the most important things for this are the quality of your microphone and the acoustics of the room you record in. At a minimum, you'll want to have a good mic that you can plug into your computer's input & a pair of headphones. You can record directly onto the computer with Audacity on Windows & Mac, and Garageband is a popular choice on the Mac. Podcasting News has a list of podcasting software. For more advanced setups, check out the Podcasting News article on setting up a home podcasting studio. No matter what your setup, the environment you record in can have a big effect on the sound. In general, you'll want a quiet location that is relatively "dead", meaning that it absorbs sound instead of bouncing it back at you. A room with a sofa & a carpet will be a lot less "live" than a room with tile. Experiment with how close you speak to your microphone, too. If you place the mic further away, you'll get more room noise/sound. If you place the mic closer, you'll get less room sound. If you get very close, though, you may notice that the mic overemphasizes the bass in the speaker's voice. Q: I want to listen to the my favorite radio show on my iPod. How do I get this as a podcast? A: Podcasts are published by show creators. If they are not publishing the show as a podcast, there may be legal issues that prevent them from doing so, or they may not see a need for it. You may want to give them feedback via their website, so that they know that there is interest in a podcast version of the show. You may also want to look into time-shifting radio recording software. An example is Replay Radio. This type of software is designed to let users record radio shows and put them on portable media players. http://www.podcastingnews.com/topics/Podcasting_FAQ.html
