This thread is for discussion and feedback about SC2NewSCast. Please feel free to contact me with ideas. Thanks!

[image loading]

What is this?
This is your SC2NewSCast and it is a 2-5 minute daily podcast/blog post recapping the day in StarCraft 2. We have been live since May now and I think it is finally to a place where I am ready to show people and get feedback.

Where can I find this?
You can currently find the posts at sc2newscast.com. I am hosting the podcast on Podbean, but posting everything at sc2newscast.com. Click the title of each post to reach the podcast. We are also listed on iTunes. See below where I will post all important links.

When are posts made?
New posts are made Wed-Sun (The morning after), usually by 5AM PST for the morning warriors. On Tuesdays I am doing a show called "The Weekly Edit" which will be 15-30 minutes. Those can be found on blip.tv/sc2newscast.

Any fees or subscription costs?
Heck no! It is free and I hope to always keep it that way as the overhead is very minimal and I just love the chance to reach out to the community. If you want to help, click my ad links or purchase stuff through my A-Store.

Who are you?
+ Show Spoiler +
I am TheAmazombie. I am a low level player, but huge fan of the community and tournament scene. I was trying to think of a way to give something back and this is what I came up with. I was getting annoyed flipping through tons of posts just to just find the scores and bracket info as well as player news for all of the content that is out there. So the idea came to me, being a baseball fan, that I wished there was something like sports radio where at the top of the hour they give a 5 minute recap of all of the scores. So yes, there are spoilers here, so if you do not want to know the results, don't tune in.
I am currently a Silver league player, but I play mostly custom games with friends who are plat/diam level. I play mostly Zerg, some Terran, and once in awhile you will find me playing Protoss. Ping me if you are interested in a game! Email sc2newscast.com for feedback.

Updates for 21-Jan-12:

Hey guys, the NewSCast is coming along nicely, we are slowly growing and expanding. The next two Weekly Edits are both booked with guests. On Monday, the 23rd we will have a couple ESV Map Makers on the show for a bit of a mapping roundtable discusion and to talk the state of maps in SC2 today.

On Tuesday, the 31st we will have Mary Ratliff back on the show to discuss Korea and the state of her movie Good Game.

Thanks guys!

I think this is a great idea and I can see it taking it off.

It is such a pain, even with TeamLiquid, to find the scores, especially after a few days when the threads get buried.

I think what would be great is to have a section for each major tournament, or tag each post with the relevant tournament name tag, so a post on today's GSL results would get a tag labelled GSL June or whatever.

If you're strictly sticking to scores, then I feel 3-5 minutes is pretty neat, but if you're also mentioning things like who so and so's next match is up against or how a certain result affects the competition or pool play, a podcast of up to 10 minutes will work also.

I guess if i was going to embark on what you're doing, I'd try to keep it as short and sweet as possible so you hold peoples attention for duration of the show.

Yeah, that was the entire base of the idea. The only issue now that I am running into is that there is SOOOO much news and content that I have to be picky and skim stuff that I think may be important. Oh well, you are never going to be able to please everyone and get everything you want.

I am also toying with the idea of casting and maybe posting a weekly cast as well, but I want to do something different instead of normal casting, I just can not decide on what to do with that.

Thanks everyone for the support. I have just started playing with casting to add some more content. I just casted a small game game between the trolls Deezer and SCDPride. I am still playing with the levels and everything so it is kind of raw.

Thanks to the community for all of the support on this project.

I just listened your latest one. Good voice (but most of Americans do have good casting voice), but try to be more "optimistic" because it sounds rather boring? I hope you don't get me wrong, just try to listen to those guys over CNN, BBC - they are more "passionate" or at least try to sounds like that.

Other than that podcasts like that are useful. If you make daily podcasts besides news, you can add more about the tournament results, live Internet shows etc. Just couple of ideas.

I def. will be listening Keep up the good job.

Thanks man. Yeah, I have been working on the voice some, playing with a few things, but it is always hard to change the way you talk. I appreciate you checking things out though. I do the Weekly Edit cast on Tuesdays where I editorialize and talk about other stuff, don't know if anyone cares about my opinions, but whatever. I do this for fun and out of love for the scene. Thanks again!

EDIT: Also, I wish that I could get more excited as a whole, but I record this early morning while my 2 year old son is sleeping on the other side of the wall, and if you have a 2 year old son you know that every second they are asleep is something to cherish. =)

Oh... so i'll be waiting till Thursday to check it out. I believe it's always good to have some kind of an impact on any esports scene. Coz you never know... with hard work you can go big one day.

Yeah I mean I don't have a kid myself, but I think I understand :D

Not yet. I am doing it as a VOD on blip, but I want to start streaming live sometime in the near future. Because of the way that my house is set up currently, I am running wirelessly and my upload speed is reduced. The only way to fix this is to either run a long cable across my house or redo the cat5 in my walls. I am planning on doing this soon though. I am a network tech at work, so it is not hard to do for me at all. I am just a tall ogre and getting under my house is not an easy task for a guy my size. =) I will try though soon.

If you would like to. I have a facebook for it, but I rarely update it. There is a twitter feed that I use occasionally. Do whatever you would like. I appreciate the support a ton. Thanks!
