Welcome to the WinCustomize SkinCast!

Now we can torture you with audio as well as text!

Published on April 21, 2008 By Zoomba In WinCustomize News

Hey, remember that poll about whether or not you ever listened to the PowerUser.TV or Under The Skin? Well, that was a bit of a prelude to a project Island Dog and I have been working on. After some technical glitches, a lot of slip-ups and other complications we're finally ready to unveil the WinCustomize Skincast!

Where PU.TV was a longer podcast that covered a lot of topics, and UTS was a very infrequent podcast that came up with a new episode every few months, SkinCast aims to be a short, weekly podcast covering misc topics from the skinning community.

Today, I bring you our first episode. Remember this is our first podcast so please excuse our flubs, stutters, or other audio issues, we're still learning the ropes here. Please leave any feedback you have on our first effort on the comments below.

We just passed the 200th download (listener). Not too bad for a first effort. Lets see what the numbers come in at in the morning.

Skinhit is the only one to volunteer for the show so far? Oh come on folks, help us out here a bit!

Well besides being mentioned in a podcast for the first time,I enjoyed putting voices to nicks(and names to the nicks)

...the intro tune was very cool. Looking forward to seeing who you pick on next.(beefcake,beefcake!)(SouthPark reference)

I was in good company to be sure.

Nicely done guys. And from a person who spends way to much time working from the pc and listening to the tv or music all day long it makes for a nice break from that.

Great podcast! Can you have it in another format along with the usual mp3? (Some of us aren't allowed to download .mp3 files at places like school or at work...) Also, the 30-minute length is perfect! Any shorter, and it would be too quick. Any longer, and it would then get pretty boring. Maybe 1-2 times a week... We also neeed to hear about more than just wallpapers and WindowBlinds. How about some of the lesser-talked-about things, like DesktopX widgets, SoundPackager packs, Firefox & Maxathon skins, ect. ---------- P.S. Where did you get that awesome rock & roll intro? Did you guys make it yourselves?

I'll be waiting for that one!

Congrats to my girl Xiandi. You deserve it love!

Thank you!
I was startled to see my name up there, and the really flattered at the nice things they had to say!

Vlad, last I checked, doesn't hand scale those wallpapers down. On his site it's a php-based script he wrote that does it when he uploads it. Believe it or not.
