Ahem. There was a recent IRC convo about it, and some concerns were voiced about the name. Everyone, please read this:

<keitei> was thinking about making a podcast
<keitei> for our radio station
<Codeine> cool
<keitei> but I have neither the skills nor the equipment...
<Villahj_Ideeut> We have a radio station?
<Codeine> I'm gonna follow todd's lead and record some UnNews voiceovers next week
<keitei> todd's got some recordings uploaded
<keitei> could we perhaps compile them into a feed?
<Codeine> hmm
<keitei> http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Radio_Free_Euroipods/Euroipodcast
<keitei> or record other articles
<Codeine> I don't know how to set up an internet feed
<keitei> or whatever really
<Codeine> Sure, I can clean up and optimise any recordings
<DavidGerard> that's a great idea
<Codeine> and add funky sound effects as required
<DavidGerard> there will be uncyclopedians with really good radio voices
<DavidGerard> and decent microphones
<DavidGerard> a regular uncyclopedia radio show could be a fantastic thing
<Mhaille> Todd's voice is incredible
<Codeine> I thought of doing some "location" reporting using a few of the SFX CDs we have
<Villahj_Ideeut> ...
<DavidGerard> mine sounds nasally and anoraky when i'm trying to be on good behaviour
<Mhaille> Howlin' Todd Lyons
<DavidGerard> when i'm pissed off and swearing it's pretty cool
<Codeine> y'know, like car crash effects, ambient backgrounds etc.
<DavidGerard> listen to some of the subgenius.com radio shows. 'hour of slack'. they are incredibly fucking good
              and weird.
<Mhaille> play GTA 3 for a while and put the radio stations on the chat ones
<keitei> I LOVE THOSE
<Villahj_Ideeut> or Vice City
<keitei> "petsovernight.com. bringing little bundles of love, in a box, directly to your door"
<nintendorulez> You know, I don't think using Euroipods for a radio station is a good idea. If we make a podcast
                XML feed, we'll want to submit it to Apple's podcast directory to gain publicity for Uncyc. And if
                the company for Euroipods finds out we've been using their name and logo so much, and using it to
                brand our podcast with, they might sue.
<keitei> but the publicity!
<MoneySign> He's a pratt most of the times, but he has a point.
<keitei> yeah
<nintendorulez> We'll still get the publicity, we just need to take the Euroipods name off it.
<Villahj_Ideeut> Right to parody?
<keitei> no, I mean they wouldn't object because of the publicity
<MoneySign> It wouldn't be parodying to gain publicity.
<nintendorulez> Branding their name on our podcast and using their logo?
<Villahj_Ideeut> True
<nintendorulez> That could get us in trouble.
<keitei> we could name it after the volkipods
<Villahj_Ideeut> Yeah. Codeine might tear it down if we mention his name in it.
<keitei> but... it doesn't have the same ring
<DavidGerard> oh ghod.
<Codeine> ...
<DavidGerard> call it Neuroipodcast.
<MoneySign> Ooo, that might work.
<keitei> hahahaha
* MwM has joined #uncyclopedia
<DavidGerard> "Get messages from the Government beamed into your head every week! Subscribe!"
<Villahj_Ideeut> iGod
<Villahj_Ideeut> iFraud
<MwM> lo
<nintendorulez> Hell, calling it Radio Free Euroipods might make some Euroipods customers think it's from them. 
                Or execs think we're trying to make it sound like it comes from them.
<MoneySign> MmM, you filthy Mac user!!!
<Mhaille> iBall
<DavidGerard> unPod
<Codeine> hi MwM
<MoneySign> MwM*
<nintendorulez> Neuroipodcast sounds good.
<Villahj_Ideeut> unPod!
<nintendorulez> Ooh, unPod!
<nintendorulez> BRILLIANT!
<MoneySign> OOOO!!
<Mhaille> UnPod....
<DavidGerard> unPodCast
<MwM> la pod du caste
<keitei> I'm liking that
<keitei> unPodCast
<DavidGerard> the [[UnPod]] is a MP3 player in a 5-1/4"-wide circular case.
<DavidGerard> it only plays cassettes.
<nintendorulez> Yeah, unPodCast.
<nintendorulez> xD
<DavidGerard> WINNAH!
<MoneySign> Ding ding ding!!
<DavidGerard> this needs writing up on the dump
<Tompkins> ...
<keitei> oy vey... so many As...
* MoneySign would give out a $10 certificate for Amazon if he hadn't promised it elsewhere...
<nintendorulez> I'll post this convo at the dump so it isn't percieved as cabal desicion-making.
<Rangeley> katie: both were funny
<keitei> yay!
<MoneySign> Isn't???
<MoneySign> It's all cabal!!!
<keitei> yeah, the cabal runs all the cool projects
<MoneySign> It here where the whole writing comp got started too.
<MoneySign> Excluding Rc's brain, of course...
<Villahj_Ideeut> jPod. the iPod with a curly on the front!
* Tompkins strangles Villahj with the "cabal"
* Villahj_Ideeut slaps Tompkins around with an average sized unix manual
<keitei> I'm thinking about maybe recording nobody cares...

Anyway, the name may become a problem if we start developing this seriously. Any thoughts? Let's nominate some names, including the existing one, and vote on them. --[[User:Nintendorulez|Nintendorulez | talk]] 20:42, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

• As much as I like the name, you have a point, Nin. Perhaps "Radio Uncyc?" It's a crap name, but it's an idea. Either that, or "Radio There Is No Cabal." --—Hinoa KUN (talk) 20:48, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

• NeuroIPodcast? UnPodCast? Radio Sophia? - David Gerard 21:03, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

For Radio Sophia! / UnPod --Chronarion 19:08, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

• Hell, I'd subscribe. We should hire one of those voiceover guys.. yeah...   t o m p k i n s  blah. ﺞوﻦ וףה ՃՄ ண்ஸ ފއހ วอฏม +տ trade websites 21:06, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

• We might have problems down the road, though website doesn't use the name 'euripods' anywhere except in the domain name. They claim 'eurogiveaways' as their name. Regardless, perhaps Radio Free Europods (which would also make a good inside reference to an inside joke) would be a good option, to avoid them claiming a copyright. While I find Euroipods funny (mostly for the controversy that it has caused), I personally don't think we would want to be represented by an inside joke.--(~Sir)Nuke || Talk v MUN v Not An Admin v Completely Unimportant 22:51, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

• Just in case anyone missed it, the name is taken from a rather obvious take on "Radio Free Europe" which I liked the idea behind......there's something delightfully Big Brotherish about it. -- Sir Mhaille  (talk to me)

• I say niet to Radio Free Euroipods --Nytrospawn 14:57, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

• I have a streaming radio station hosted by people at my website, and it can be an affiliate carrying UnNews updates. ~Sir Rangeley GUN WotM UotM EGA +S (talk) 15:49, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

• Radio Free Lunch. Broadcasting at 2450MHz from a microwave oven near you. --Carlb 16:09, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

• For Radio Free Euroipods.--<<>> 22:02, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

• No more Euroipods, UnPodcast will do nicely. --Uncyclon - Do we still link to BENSON? 08:22, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

• Against Euroipods.--Rataube 11:23, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

• I propose UnCast Radio. --Sir gwax (talk) 15:20, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
• For unPod or unPodcast. --[[User:Nintendorulez|Nintendorulez | talk]] 21:55, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

• I like UnCast Radio somewhat, that and I wish people would hurry up and do, rather than talk about doing :P --Olipro 14:15, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

• Listen, listen. Have any of you ever read The Sun or any other supurious Uk newspapers? They deliberatey write libel and other crap with the purpose that they'll get sued. They want the publicity from the case. anyway, if they do have a problem, then you could just sheepisly retact your name after you've got ass much publicity out of it as you want. You never know, as in Russia, you give publicity to EUROIPODS! --The Rt. Hon. BarryC MUN (Symposium!) Sigh. Double Sigh. 15:35, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

• For something like "Radio Free Lunch" or "Business Reply Mail," but it has to overuse radio sound effects to the point of complete absurdity. And I hate to suggest the obvious, but how about Radio Free iPods? - Nonymous 23:33, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

• I like "Fuji Ipods".--Jtaylor1 23:59, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

• eyePods? or pea pods? --Carlb 03:21, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

• I really like the Radio Free thing. Radio Free Amerika, or Radio Free UnNews, or Radio Free iDolatry, or Radio Free iNterwebs, or something--Spin 00:45, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Radio Free Love? Radio Free Beer? Hmmm... --Carlb 11:36, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Radio Free Dumb??? --Carlb 03:01, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

For Radio Free Lunch--Rataube 12:36, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

I like Radio Free Lunch as well.--(~Sir)Nuke || Talk v MUN v Not An Admin v Completely Unimportant 19:03, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Radio Free Lunch is goog. --Spin 23:45, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

And by "goog," I mean good. --Spin 23:46, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

I want a Radio Free Lunch!--<<>> 03:32, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Just call it UnRadio it tell the listener that 1)It's probably humourus 2) It's not realt news. (I know that it'd be hard not to realize this, but there are some stupid people out there)

Radio Free Lunch? I'll go with it, although a new point has cropped up in my mind; the name is relatively spurious and doesn't really give a real lead to Uncyclopedia, although, so long as the site name is in each episode, then I would say it'd hold water, but, just food for thought. --Olipro (Harass) 02:04, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

I was going to suggest Radio Free AAAAAAAAA!, but you've got a point, it should be somehow representative of Uncyclopedia's name. Or maybe just call it Uncyclopedia Free Radio. --CaptainSpam MUN PUTPBAA 02:54, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

I was thinking that givent he avriouse styles, jingles, etc. of the audio stories it would be better presented as a sort of Meta news program, like the word in your ear, a sort of round up of news from the UnWorld. So maybe UnNews up your Nose or something?--The Right Honourable Maj Sir Elvis UmP KUN FIC MDA VFH Bur. CM and bars UGM F@H (Petition) 08:54, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

And, of course, the first thing I thought of when I saw that link was The World in You: Rear.--<<>> 16:56, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

No gnus is good gnus? --Carlb 13:21, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Or, tag Uncyclopedia on the beginning, so for example, either Uncyclopdia's Radio Free EuroiPods or alternatively; Uncyclopedia Presents: Radio Free EuroiPods well, you get the general idea --Olipro (Harass) 16:51, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Erm, Just for attention

I've created an RSS feed; all it does is simply syndicate the OGG files from UnNews; I figure this is a simple way of doing it, there's no need to be farting around with anything else; if you want the URL of the RSS feed, I'm on #uncyclopedia, also, you'll need this xiph plugin to play OGG files in iTunes, but if you don't use iTunes, chances are you can already play OGG! --Olipro (Harass) 17:37, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
