Stay ConnectedConstantly Calibrating is a weekly topical podcast that focuses on the wide world of nerd/geek culture; Delving into both recent news stories, as well as discussions, debates and interviews related to what’s happening in our assorted fields (Gaming/Tech/Life).
A little bit of things, a fair amount of words, and a whole lot of stuff!
What is the future of personality-based streamer? What even is the present nature of the industry? These questions and more were the topics at hand when Josh talked to Sam Neal, the founder of The Streamer Squad.
Starting out as a Mixer stream team, The Streamer Squad has grown across all platforms as a place for content creators to grow and learn together. Sam Neal is at the head of this community & offers his own insight into the path this industry is currently on.
Join us this week for a look at the streaming industry & also what it's like when two podcast hosts are on a show together.
Here we have the last of our PAX West 2018 interviews. For our final foray onto the PAX floor we have Josh's chat with Eve Crevoshay, Executive Director of 'Take this'. To learn more about what Take this does for event attendees or to learn what resources are available, check out this episode. If you're looking to see what bad lighting can do to Josh's already shiny head, you'll want to swing by the YouTube video.
At the start of October Josh & Justin embarked on the wonderful opportunity of visiting San Francisco. The reason for the trip: a chance to co-host Kinda Funny Games Daily with Greg Miller. During that trip another opportunity arose: our wonderful duo was invited into the home of Jared Petty to record an episode of the Constantly Calibrating Podcast!
The chat with Jared was delightful, ranging from discussions on visiting San Francisco, co-hosting Kinda Funny Games Daily, and into chats about our favorite words and a look at the effect of mental illness on our society. This podcast goes deep and pretty much all around, and it's an absolute delight. Oh, and Jared's wife makes a very brief appearance, so what's not to like?
Oh, and for those watching the video...sorry. The quality of conversation was so high this week that all of our cameras started acting up in the weirdest ways possible. It's part of the fun!
Watch the show recorded live on Mixer.
Before the start of PAX West Josh has the opportunity to sit down with Chris Michelotti, creator of the upcoming tabletop game, Escape the Fest. Escape the Fest is a card-based game meant to simulate the music festival experience. The original plan for our interview was for Josh and Chris Michelotti to do a play session, but like all good Constantly Calibrating plans, things went awry.
Join us for this exploration the upcoming tabletop game, and what goes into making a game such as this.
At PAX West 2018 Josh & Justin sat down with Sean Baptiste, Influencer Manager for Bethesda. The conversation took many different turns, but was one that you definitely do not want to miss.
Simply put, if you are a content creator, streamer, or broadcaster online, there is one person you should know: Sean Baptiste. Sean has been a part of the game industry for many years, coming up through Harmonix, Adult Swim Games, and now Bethesda.
What Sean does better than most is engage with people online in a way that both nurtures and educates them. From atop his platform on Twitter, Sean will regularly question his followers on many things related to streaming & content creation. From there he curates the best advice and launches discussions on them.
Without a doubt, whether you're an amateur, aspiring professional, or even at the top of your game, you'd be mistaken to overlook his presence.
PAX West 2018 came to a close at the beginning of this month. Right after the closing of the event, Josh & Justin sat down with Dan Nichols (Raidhyn) of Adult Swim Games to talk about the games played & experiences lived at PAX West 2018.
From enjoyable and odd games -- looking at you Quiet Man -- to the debut of the GLORIOUS ONE, Justin Glorious, there was much to discuss!
So sit back and listen to the tales from one of Constantly Calibrating's favorite events of 2018!
Back at Dreamhack Austin Josh, Blake, Chris, & Jenn (LoZelda) took to the stage to talk about the process of running a live podcast. This of course was a live podcast, on doing a live podcast, done live. That may have been one to many uses of the word live, but we wanted to clarify the meta nature of things.
The panel itself was an exercise on just how much of a cluster running a podcast can be, and then how insane adding an audience can make it.
Back in the days of yore (June 2018) our team of intrepid podcasters talked to a man of mystery; the retired Dab-Master General™️. That's right, we had Arizona streamer PrettyRob on the show to talk about his experiences with both Twitch and Mixer, and his journey into the wide world of broadcasting.
While some things have changed in the months since he was on the show, one thing hasn't. He's still streaming, he's still Rob, and he is certainly still very pretty.
Learn the tale of PrettyRob on this edition of the Constantly Calibrating Podcast!
Once upon a time Josh happened across a podcast that helped refocus his thoughts on podcasting. That show, The 1099 Podcast, featured friend of Constantly Calibrating Vanessa Marie of Gaming Access Weekly talking to Josiah Renaudin. At that moment Josh realized he needed to have both Vanessa and Josiah on podcasts at some point. Vanessa made her guest debut earlier this year, and finally as the summer closes out we were able to chat with Josiah Renaudin.
Josiah is an Associate Producer over at Tangent Games, as well as a former freelance journalist. Over the last few years he has taken The 1099 Podcast from semi-educational tool on breaking into games media and turned it into one of the best one on one guest shows there is online.
On this week's Constantly Calibrating Podcast Josh talked to Josiah Renaudin about everything he does, and took a look at both of their journeys through the world of podcasting and games media.
Here we have the final piece of our RTX Austin 2018 coverage. Finally, for the first time ever, Constantly Calibrating gathered around a table for an in-person recorded a podcast. It was rushed, there were tech issues, but it was glorious!
Come join us and our special guests Dan Nichols (Raidhyn), SnowBikeMike, & Jenn VanGemert (LoZelda) as we talk about our experiences at RTX Austin 2018. Topics ranged from getting the show together, to sights seen, to the greatest explanation of an event of all time.
Thank you everyone for listening and watching this year's coverage. We look forward to doing more content like this moving forward!
