Thanks to all who watched this epis­ode. Just like Stilgher­rian Live in its alpha broad­casts, I am start­ing to get some cent­ral themes and sec­tions for the show sor­ted out.

Largely ignor­ing the chat this time was easy thanks to the won­der­ful @dekrazee1; the meta-backchannel pro­du­cer. Her role was to watch the chat, and for­ward on any ques­tions, points or where tech­nical glitches occurred through a spe­cial backchan­nel IM session.

My hobby is the study of his­tory, so research­ing and talk­ing his­tory is fun. An intel­lec­tual chal­lenge, keep­ing my non-geek syn­apses firing.

The flow of Epis­ode 3

• An hour of them­atic music (ie: related to show’s topic) from the 1980s
• Lead in video clip, again them­atic and from the 1980s
• Let­ters from the Pre­vi­ous Show
• Lud­dites vs. Lollards
• Main Topic of the Show, with a them­atic video/advertisement in the middle
• Close about 5 minutes before Stilgher­rian Live’s plinky’s appear

There is a need for a call-to-action some­where; and deeper ques­tions dur­ing the show. Or it might be just cool to leave it as-is so people can ran­domly chat about ran­dom stuff.

For next time:

• Get the record­ing correct!
• Ensure video play­back works, even when cued correctly
• Up the video qual­ity on the broad­cast strean when my face is on the camera
