Wil and Gavin have been having some frustrating times trying to get Skype and Discord to work for recording TIDU. In an effort to find some alternatives we try them LIVE while recording the show, tune in to hear us see how Zencastr and Trycast sound, as well as showing what makes Discord and Skype suck so very hard for podcasting.

S1E16 - Keeping it Simple

Tue, 28 Aug 2018 20:31:44 -0000

Seeking to take a break from heavy topics and feeling the feelings, this time around Wil and Gavin talk about three podcasts with simple premises that are fantastic because of the simplicity (and one mega-popular simple podcast that misses the mark).

Gavin tried recording this episode standing up in his living room, turns out his pop filter SUCKS, so PLOSIVES AHOY.

S1E15 - Perilously Parasocial Podcasting

Tue, 14 Aug 2018 16:33:59 -0000

This week we talk about how fandoms can sometimes cross the line from passionate support of content into entitlement, and how fans in the podcasting community can take steps to check themselves before the wrecking of themselves happens.

Also, yes, Gavin sounds like he's in a garbage can ("where I belong" he says) and yes, he is planning on re-recording his side of the conversation later this week. Consider this version of the episode a rare special edition that is objectively worse than the one history will remember!

S1E14 - Spoilers Ahoy! | The Adventure Zone: Amnesty Episode 12

Wed, 08 Aug 2018 03:00:50 -0000

Set sail for the spoiler seas as Wil and Gavin do something with ropes and a wooden wheel is involved to, like, fulfil the sailing theme of the series. This time around the two intrepid podcast nerds discuss the newest interlude episode of The Adventure Zone.

Well, they intend to, but get distracted. I promise it all comes back around in the end.

Tue, 17 Jul 2018 19:19:54 -0000

Dive beneath the covers, Wil and Gavin are here to bring you some spooky social media horror stories.

S1E11 - Audiobooks =\= Audio Drama

Fri, 06 Jul 2018 04:46:49 -0000

Sorry! Life happened, an episode got eated by whack coding. To make up for the delay, Wil and Gavin bust out a hearty discussion of audiobooks, audio drama, and why we have beef with books pretending to be podcasts.

This is a VERY lightly edited version of Tuned In Dialed Up, Gavin will have about 7 hours to sleep before heading out for a 4 hour road trip very early tomorrow morning. There are far more ums and ahs and several tangents that probably would've been cut if time allowed. Consider this TIDU: Unplugged.
