A quick tour of the Studio room.

Managed to purchase and collect a choice of three chairs for the Santa Personal Video Messages and personal Zoom calls for this season, just a little bit of work to do on them.

Will be painting the wood with metallic gold paint and covering the cushion with red material.

Just got to steam iron the white backdrop for the podcast background to get the creases out, then we are ready to start (Y)

I have had two radio stations for quite a few years now.

The Search & Rescue for Dogs station,'Woof Radio', was very popular and has quite a few followers. My other station, 'Mr DJ Radio', never really got off the ground properly as I couldn't spend much time on it.

This new podcast venture will take advantage of the radio station, Mr DJ' and I have now changed it's station name to 'CD Pod Radio', so now our podcasts will be available LIVE! on the Radio Station and we are working on making FaceBook LIVE! if that's still possible?

You will be able to listen to every Podcast on FaceBook, YouTube and on the Radio Station.

Once I have fully set it all up I will post all the relevant links so you can choose how you want to watch/listen to them (Y)

Have today managed to put up the white backdrop for the podcasts and a Christmas themed backdrop on the other side for the Santa Zoom calls and Video messages and photo's of course.

The initial launch of the podcasts has been delayed due to the wet weather halting the construction of the new building.

The building is now in place and is currently being wired up to the electricity supply.

Once all the equipment such as heating, lighting, sound equipment, video equipment, carpeting, podcast desk & chairs are installed we will start the podcasts.

We expect to start by the end of March so keep an eye out for them on here and Youtube.

We would like to invite you to either message or email us, [email protected] , with any subjects you would like to hear (Y)

Our podcasts will be starting sometime this month, probably nearer the end, as the garden room/studio is very close to being completed.

The groundwork levelling has been done, the ground base is complete, the wood building base is ready to be put into position, then it's the building itself, and as it was built by the supply company and then carefully flat packed and delivered.

Construction of the studio will be in the next week or so depending on weather and the hired help.

All the electrical outlets can then be put in, plug sockets, light switches, lighting, heating and alarm system.

The contents can then be put together and put inside, we have everything ready to be put together, chairs, desk, camera equipment, sound equipment, recording equipment.

We will then test it all out for picture and sound quality and if required ready to purchase sound proofing to get rid of any echo effects and outside noise.

Apart from these podcasts being on Facebook we also already have a YouTube channel which has had 1.3k views of the experiment video of my dog playing in the park, and actually has 19 likes?? so I think that once the real podcasts start to get posted these numbers will increase, it's a good positive start.

We will start to add a list of subjects, a few already posted here. It's very exciting

AI.....Good or Bad?

From a simple picture to a short 5 second video, made in no time at all with just the basic picture and instructions, Step Right/Step Left/Step Forward/Wave.

We will be experimenting with this and will post the results.
