Big Damn Commentaries

One of our regular stable of commentators launches themselves headlong into one of the other "untouchable" episodes, that for which your humble webmaster feels Joss recorded one of the best audio commentaries ever. But, someone had to tackle this one eventually. And with this, BDC has commentaries for all but one remaining episode.

Description:

The stars aligned, leaving Objects In Space as the next episode I just had to commentate on. All my previous commentaries have been live and unplanned, however I always promised myself that if I tackled Objects I'd make an effort to compile some notes beforehand. I watched the episode once through, pausing extensively to jot things down, then went straight upstairs and watched it again, recording what I'd written on the fly. I contemplated attempting a fully edited commentary to squeeze everything in, but that seemed like too much work so I just went ahead and did my best to talk quickly. Not everything made it from the page to the mp3 - in my haste I missed out one or two notes and also slurred a few words here and there. You will also hear pages turning rather loudly, as well as a few seconds of pure silence (followed by furious mouse-clicking) where my phone rang and I edited it out. This may have messed up the episode sync by a second or so, I'm not sure.

The track was recorded through Goldwave with a cheap Game brand microphone. The episode was played using RealPlayer. The episode sound is almost totally inaudible due to the fact I inadvertently set my player too quiet. One day I'll get this setup right - good thing I have plenty more episodes to practice on...

Note: You will be prompted to start the episode with a countdown during the commentary's introduction.
