I'm amazed at how far voice synthesiser technology has come along. It sounds very life-like. Are you using a Mac-only app to read the forums, or is it available for Windows too?

Yeah, it sounds pretty good. I think he uses AT&T Labs-Research Text To Speech and uses the voice called Mike US English.

I just received a very negative PM from a member about how he hates my bashing of solidstalin. He thinks its real.

Ill have to think about releasing the next podcast. Seems like people think this is a serious cast.

It's all in good fun, and an overwhelming majority of the members here love the podcasts, so why degrade the humor. The members here provide content for what the podcast is; that's what great about the podcast.

i personally love to hear what the podcast has to say about me or others...maybe you should add a disclaimer at the end?

A disclaimer would hardcore take away from the humor. Though I will consider it.

If people cannot distinguish my incoherant portrayal of members from fact, then it only makes it that much more humorous to the people who do get it.

I encourage you to do a search of any member who is mentioned to be banned. You will find most the users are superb members and are assets to the forums (also not banned). The others who are actually banned I suggested doing a background check on them and reading some of their posts that we didn't delete yet. You will find those members are banned for a reason.

I will be accepting PMs of names who do not want to be mentioned in the podcast and I will no longer report directly about you. PM me, tell me you do not want to be mentioned in the podcast it will be kept a secret from the general population.

I picked on members who i thought could take it and had enough of a reputation that people would know its not real.

Also, I was not under the influence of any substance when I was creating the podcasts.

Graphite, you can pick on me whenever you want. Your "secondhand filth" comment has gotten even more amusing, as I contact every local university I can think of to buy more used macs. I've caught a bug.

#8 is pretty good; I like the voice impressions. One note to the forum-goers: My iTunes was set to update subscribed 'casts 1/day. But I had to manually update to episode #8, even after iTunes launched and updated other podcasts.
