NEW INTRODUCTION

I hope more people listened to The Big Interview than came on this thread to give feedback!
Your founder Dick spoke about the site and himself so well. I've decided that all wikiloopers should be given the opportunity to answer some of those questions (if relevant) and a few I didn't get around to asking

GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS THREAD WHERE YOU CAN TACKLE THOSE SAME QUESTIONS AND MORE.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE ORIGINAL THREAD started here
"There's a sh**load of music on wikiloops"

A quote from a wikilooper that I think sums this place up perfectly. Find out more in a special Forum Feature coming up real soon.

Who might say
"If I go into a supermarket people are surprised"
and
"I might make giraffes to display on a hillside"

Find out at 6pm GMT today (Tuesday)

I got the feeling that people would be interested in hearing more from the wikiloops founder Richard (Dick). I followed this up by getting him to talk about his professional and personal life. I now have a two part recorded interaction that I think people will want to hear.

So I'll be leaving a link here (it's on YouTube) at 6 pm GMT today - don't miss it.

Well you were lucky Karuma, it was supposed to be private (it is now :@) No, I'm waiting until 6 pm GMT so that it's open for business in as many places in the World as possible

Be patient my dear wikiloopers <3

Here's the link at last. (a little earlier) Each audio video is around 14 - 15 mins long

Dick is very listenable and says some interesting stuff including lighthearted banter and some deeper, thought provoking things.

Let us know what you think or if you have any more questions fill up the thread below - Yours truly, Shamika <3

Thanks Dee <3

It seems that part two is lagging behind part one ... and I think this has some really good answers... anyway, to make it easier I've added the youtubes to be visible here so you don't have to go anywhere, just sit back, put your headphones on and enjoy what Mr Snuts et al has to say :)

Just as an idea, maybe we can upload it as a track on Wikiloops? And if you do another interview, why not do it with a video? That would be really cool :)

Thanks for the feedback TeeGee and you're right, it would have been more effective and memorable as a 'face to face' bells and whistles video with follow up interviews (I'm sure you'd have been one) :) The problem is me I guess - technically challenged and camera shy :o

But I do have another idea brewing which would involve lots of wikiloopers, a kind of Audio Montage... I need to think how that might go first :) Shamika <3

Well, technical problems can always be solved, if you want to do that next time then let me know. Camera shy, you could always wear a funny mask, or be darkened out - there are always solutions. I think this is a cool project :)

Haha, it's not my looks on camera that's so much the problem as I'm a gibbering idiot vocally when I'm filmed, but thanks for the suggestions!

Big interview?
Big amount of work on Shamikas end, I really only talked for some 30 minutes :)
Happy to see some seem to enjoy the format, but really stepping by here to say thanks and give a "sh**tload" of credit to Shamika for putting this together <3

:D Thanks Dick and you get credit for putting up with my hissy fits. This thing very nearly didn't happen at all so I'm glad people are listening and liking, makes it all worthwhile. You definitely have a 'radio' voice :)
