Scott Lockman – ds106

(download audio) I had completely forgotten this little podcast project over the past five weeks because of work and travel. It was only when a few kind words from The Bava floated across the transom via twitter today that I remembered that there is audio to be recorded. And now, for better or for worse, […]

(download audio) It’s getting so hot and humid here that I don’t know how much longer these 3,000 step recordings can go on. Next time out, I hope to record in air-conditioned splendor. It should be forthcoming later this week.

(download audio) If nothing else, it can at least be said that a second podcast was recorded and released within a reasonable amount of time. The next one should be forthcoming later this month.

(download audio) It looks like all of the technical components are in place. For better or for worse, the Lo is back in the game.

The idea of paying $129.99 for a pair of hand painted Converse Chuck Taylors commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Twin Peaks televisions series might seem extravagant to some. Were it not for the facts that the logistics of shipping such unique merchandise are so complicated and that I don’t have an actual postal address […]

A renaissance of podcasting indeed. Had I started this project ages ago as originally dreamt, it very well might have had a place of prominence in the article. But that’s okay. The important thing is that the wheels are now in motion. As the project picks up steam, three separate story lines will present themselves: […]

(download audio) The conscious mind is like a pond into which many people are throwing stones. Our thoughts are accidents, and if we blunder upon just the idea we need, it is indeed a blunder. Oh how I wish I’d have come up with some sentences like those above for my How I Feel When […]

(download audio) As promised in yesterday’s “teaser” post, an audio draft of my answer to the question ‘How do I feel when I think?’ is offered in the player above. For devices without Flash, the download audio link should work. And for those subscribed to the feed in iTunes, the recording should have by now […]

(download audio) This podcast was recorded in two parts. First was a drive to work this morning in which I tried to provide an update on the ongoing reclamation project. It turns out that there are nearly 200 recordings I’ve made over the past decade now available on this blog. During the drive, while trying […]

The previous post referred to Bill‘s amazing work in building a prototype version of Dr. Nakamatsu’s TDM/7300 multiplex radio tuner. It’s hard to imagine that he will likely have a fully functioning version ready before year’s end. What a treat it was to be able to play his initial recording of his first temporal bandwidth […]

The entire run of Tokyo Calling podcasts – save episodes 61-65 – along with original blog posts is once again online. Confronting the personalized memoir format of the various audio journal projects I’ve dabbled in over the years might not be the healthiest way to spend my time. But I remain committed to the deeper […]

It took several days, but jet lag from the long flight back from Virginia finally began to hit this past Thursday. Frustrated with the slow progress and the unreality of listening to 9 year old recordings of myself while trying to put together a ‘show’ for Friday led me to take a mid-afternoon nap. When […]

As mentioned here yesterday, this week marks nine years since the first episode of the Tokyo Calling podcast. In this episode, in addition to playing some old time music and a 1963 clip from Jean Shepherd, I played the first mention anywhere of Dr. Nakamatsu’s TDM/7300 from November 2004. One of the exciting developments from […]

This recording is from October 4, 2013 and aired live on ds106radio.

This recording is from September 30, 2013 and aired live on ds106radio.

This recording is from September 27, 2013 and aired live on ds106radio.

This recording is from September 23, 2013 and was heard live on ds106radio.

This recording is of a live transmission on ds106radio from September 20, 2013. Thanks to Bill, Christina and Mariana for phoning in.

Thanks to Giulia and Alan for helping to exemplify what my greatest hope for the BluePhase transmissions might be. That is bringing listeners to the ‘microphone’ to talk about matters related to ds106 in a free-form manner. This whole thing has fallen together in such a spontaneous and seemingly haphazard manner that I realize the […]

It seems I’ve been away for a while. The past months of online inactivity have provided a chance to think about what to do next. For the time being, I think it’s going to be something like this. Beginning September 16, 2013, I will try to two live ‘shows’ on ds106radio per week. These will […]

As mentioned in the recording, I will not be able to produce any more of these LoDown episodes for the remainder of the ds106zone. That means an opportunity for you to step forward and do your own course podcast. You are welcome to call it a LoDown (or whatever you wish). If you’d like, I’ll […]

Note: Below is the text from Alan’s blog post for LoDown 024. Tomorrow, I hope to return with number 25. cc licensed ( BY SA ) flickr photo shared by Bruce McKay When the clams and worcestershire get Scottlo too low to do his daily show, well, they can call in the Dog, that is […]

Note: Below is the text from Rochelle’s and Amber’s post for LoDown 23. Tomorrow, Alan Levine will be behind the mic to bring us LoDown 24. Rockylou’s (Rochelle Lockridge‘s) first foray into guest hosting the DS106 LoDown (episode 17) was a success. However, the original recorded “interview” between my daughter Amber and I, chatting about […]

Wesley’s recent commercial for the LoDown kicks of this 23rd installment. I love the way he brought in some audio from Professor Groom to set up his killer tag line: The LoDown is no joke. Brilliant and well executed, Wesley – thank you. I also spent a bit of time at the end with the […]

It’s only because of inspiring and excellent work being done by so many folks in the ds106zone that this podcast is able to continue day after day. Two cases in point are Katy’s Watch out it’s a driveby audio assignment and Rochelle’s Reflecting on ds106 recording. And by the time tomorrow comes, there will be […]

Week three of ds106zone is soon to be a distant memory. Everyone is scrambling to pull the radio plays together. And the LoDown keeps chugging along. The effort was greatly aided today by audio contributions from John and Brian as well a thought provoking series of emails back and forth with RockyLou. The Levelator from […]

It’s great to be back with another LoDown installment. This recording features a few tips for dealing with your volume levels in Audacity. Even though we are nearly done with Audio week, these principals will still apply when we turn to video next week and beyond. And they might even be of use to those […]

Note: Below is the text from Jim’s guest post for LoDown 018. I’ll be back for 019 tomorrow and Rochelle and Amber are slated to wrap up their awesome segment from yesterday on Tuesday for LoDown 023. Once again, I’d … Continue reading →

Hello… This is Rockylou standing in for scottlo today. Giving him a much needed break from producing these daily episodes of the LoDown. I can’t imagine trying to do this daily for 35 days straight. Making one of these is … Continue reading →

Big thanks to Grant, Christina and Brian for creating the brilliant Twilight Zone inspired ds106 radio bumpers that made this episode possible. I’m also grateful to Rochelle and Jim who will be guest hosting the LoDown on June 5 and … Continue reading →

This recording was done live on ds106 radio. The mix level between music and narration at the beginning is less than ideal. The music is a bit louder than it should which might make listening on a loudspeaker challenging. But … Continue reading →

I forgot to mention in the recording that the featured Arch Oboler excerpt, entitled The Freak from the Devil and Mr. O series in 1970-71, originally aired in 1939 as The Ugliest Man in the World. The lead role was … Continue reading →

The big news today in terms of the ds106zone class is in Jim’s Week 3 Preparation: The Radio Show blog post. If you’re a UMW taking this course for credit, you really must read it now. And after reading it, … Continue reading →

As mentioned yesterday, based on Thursday’s office hours hangout with Jim, the radio play status for UMW students is Game On. A post from Jim is forthcoming that will spell out the intricacies of week three and the assignment of … Continue reading →

The prayer call heard in the background was not Asr as I said but the final prayer time of the day: Isha’a. Everyday, similar sounds punctuate the day five times and can be heard nearly wherever one finds oneself around … Continue reading →

I need to begin this post with a bit thank you to open-online participants Mike and Rochelle. Were it not for Mike’s awesome blog post about his initial impressions from listening to some Arch Oboler radio horror, and Rochelle’s evocative … Continue reading →

The Create a ds106radio Bumper is another of the popular audio assignments you can choose from for week three. It’s a relatively easy two stars. But more than that, it gives you a chance to combine your own voice with … Continue reading →

It’s a little embarrassing to admit how long it took to pull this 8th installment of the LoDown together. When editing audio, things have the tendency to go wrong. You will all experience when week 3 comes around. Featured in … Continue reading →

Kudos to everyone who’s made it through week 1 intact. As much as I tried, I still wasn’t able to keep this one within the 5-7 minute zone. Sorry guys. As mentioned in the recording, I’m sending out an invitation … Continue reading →

For a long time, I’d dreamed of doing a daily podcast or radio type show. Seemed there was never enough to talk about. Also, the discipline to make such a project work for an extended period of time was always … Continue reading →

For the sake of having these recordings present themselves as proper podcasts that can be downloaded through subscription, I’ll forgo using mobile apps for the time being. The two previous installments can only be listened to by visiting the site. … Continue reading →

Judging by the traffic on twitter, it seems that ds106zone has hit the ground running. It just so happens that the start of this amazing course coincided with the busiest part of my week so I’ve not been able to … Continue reading →

The next five weeks here will be devoted to the ds106zone class. While reflecting on how to help out with the audio portion of the class, the idea to do a short daily live radio segment on ds106 radio seemed … Continue reading →

This 45 minute recording from my early morning set on ds106 radio focus less on Arch Oboler’s Neanderthal radio play than I’d originally intended. That’s because the whole game changed as the result of a skype conversation with Jim Groom … Continue reading →

All available energy is being directed toward this coming Friday’s opening session of Scottlo Radio School on ds106 radio. As mentioned in yesterday’s post, that’s when I’ll be presenting the results of the three step process of contextualization, transcription and … Continue reading →

Catching Up This Arch Oboler project that began a month ago has been a trip down the rabbit hole on several levels. In the first instance, listening to performed tales of the supernatural and supernormal from more than seventy years … Continue reading →

I realize most people will never hear this podcast. That’s totally fine and as it should be. But as I had such a good time putting it together, I’d like to know what those who did take the time to … Continue reading →

This podcast is a recording of a live transmission over ds106radio from a Toyota Yaris driving on the Dammam-Khobar Highway. The monolog was transmitted using the soon to be discontinued Papaya application on an iPhone 5. An iPhone 3 using … Continue reading →

I always wonder if anyone is really interested in listening to some dude in the desert talk to himself in the form of a podcast before releasing one of these. Recent efforts here at the Scottlo Radio Blog are progressing … Continue reading →

Syllabus Draft It turns out that the task I set for myself to come up with a syllabus for the Scottlo Radio School (SRS) dovetails nicely with the Toastmasters speech I’m supposed to be preparing to give on April Fool’s … Continue reading →
