We've been counting down the days... Tomorrow, September 2nd is the big day! We're going to be live with TechSmith's new web show, The Forge. We've been calling it... "The Forge Day"!
We're hoping that tomorrows episode will provide you with great information all about screencasting. Specifically we're going to be talking with Jon Udell. Did you know that Jon has been screencasting for a long time. He created a now famous screencast (and one of my favorites) about the Heavy Metal Umlaut?
One of our instructional designers, Chris McQueen, is also going to be reviewing the Blue Yeti microphone. You remember Chris, right? He put together this video with his tips for getting great audio for voiceovers. Blue Microphone was kind enough to loan us a Yeti for the review.
Matt Pierce and I are also going to be talking about some things that make for great screencasts, and show a few examples from screencasts that we like.
This will be a live show. Tune in here to watch us live on September 2nd, 2010 at 2:00 PM Eastern, 1:00 PM Central. And, since this is a live show, Matt, Kelly (our marketing video producer) and I will hang around and answer some questions and chat with the audience. We'll also be listening to tweets throughout the show (we'll be using #tscForge on Twitter).
Oh, you can't watch The Forge live tomorrow? Really? That's too bad! Don't worry we're recording it and will make it available on the TechSmith YouTube Channel for everyone to watch on their own time.
So wish us luck... we're excited and nervous (well, Matt is nervous. OK, maybe I am too.). ;-) Oh, and have a great 'Forge Day' tomorrow!

Looking forward to it, though I'd really like to be able to subscribe as a podcast via iTunes - any chance of that?

How exciting for you guys, I am really interested in learning more about screen casting and I hope it all goes well. I am sure that if it works as great as your products then you will be just fine. Good luck and I will be tuning in for sure, I just found your blog and have been going back and reading previous articles.

I'm sure Betsy will be posting this up soon, but since we had troubles with the stream today, I wanted to get this out as soon as possible.
This is the downloadable version of "The Forge - Episode 01". It is 720p quality, and weighs in around 1GB in size and 35 minutes in length. Hopefully in the next few days, we'll get some more options available (the videos are currently available on the YouTube channel as well, in three parts).
