The Chicago Open, Cancel Bowl, and Science Monstrosity recordings are now all up on the feed. At some point in the near future I'll link to them all specifically here.
I also recently recorded a lot of the matches from the Maryland Fall Classic High School Tournament, but those episodes won't be posted until I hear back from potential mirrors of the event.
Tomorrow I'll be recording the William & Mary mirror of the Early Fall Tournament. I got a brand new recording device, which will hopefully provide much better sound quality than you've heard in the past, so look forward to that.
And one of these days I'll post another "studio" episode where I talk about stuff.
Also, feel free to record your own matches and send them to me. I'll put anything you have up on the feed.

Sorry for the delay in getting the Chicago Open episodes up. I've been busy writing for Maryland's Fall High School Tournament, which will also be recorded and posted in some form (although it's likely that only the playoffs will be posted).

Delays
Sorry for the delays in getting the various tournaments up. I've been pretty busy with finals so I haven't had a chance to format and upload the files. I foolishly didn't bring the files home with me, so the earliest that I will be able to get them online will be next Monday.
Again, sorry for the delay.

Feed Problems
I realize there are some problems with the feed right now, mainly due to me having some problems with my web server. These issues should hopefully be fixed in a few days.
I will also have some new episodes up soon, including the Boston College College Bowl Jam Trash Tournament, some theme rounds from Trashionals X, and most of the Maryland Spring Classic High School Tournament.

More Episodes Coming Soon
Sorry for the delay in episodes. They are coming soon, I promise.
The VCU Open episodes are almost finished, I just need to figure out how I skipped one of them.
After that will be recordings of this year's ACF Nationals tournament, and later I hope to post some episodes from some trash tournaments and some high shcool tournaments.
When I have some more time I will list out the episodes on this blog in detail.

More ACF Regionals Episodes Up
More episodes of ACF Regionals have been posted throughout the week. Here's a short run down.
Episode 2E - Round 5 between Maryland House B and High School Team. Packet by Chicago B and Harvard C.
Episode 2F - Round 6 between Maryland House B and VCU. Packet by Harvard A and Brown B.
Episode 2G - Singles Round 1 (all teams). Packet by Harvard B.

There are still about 3 more rounds to go from ACF Regionals. Later this week I'm going to post an episode with me reading a high school level packet from last year's Maryland Spring High School Tournament. After that I may read some trash packets from the Atlantic Seaboard Skirmish, and possibly some packets from some other college level tournaments (pending permission). Remember that subscribing to the RSS Feed for the podcast is the easiest way to stay up to date with new episodes.

The Quizbowl Cast is now on iTunes. You can automatically subscribe the podcast using this link. If you prefer to use another RSS service (such as Firefox's built in service), simply click on the feed link on the right.
Also, since the last post I have added episode 2C and 2D, which are more matches from this year's ACF Regionals.

Episode 2 - ACF Regionals
Episodes 2A and 2B are now up. These are recordings I made of today's 2007 ACF Regionals tournament at the University of Maryland. More episodes will trickle out throughout the week. I suggest you subscribe to the feed (see the link on the right) if you want to stay constantly updated.
By the way, if you e-mailed me before now (Saturday around 10 PM eastern standard time), I did not get your message. I accidentally misspelled "quizbowl" in my e-mail address, so it wasn't registered until a few minutes ago. Whoops.

First Episode Posted
The first episode of the Quizbowl Cast has been posted. You can also subscribe to the RSS feed on the right, and in a few days you should be able to subscribe through iTunes soon. If you want to manually subscribe through iTunes, just right click that feed link, and then paste into the box that shows up when you go to Advanced -> Subscribe to Podcast in iTunes.
In this episode, I discuss the format of the show and read 5 tossups from the Spring 2006 Maryland High School Classic and 5 tossups from the 2007 Atlantic Seaboard Skirmish.

Welcome
Hello everyone. My name is Mike Bentley and I made this little blog to host information regarding the Quizbowl Cast, a series of podcasts I plan to start recording of various quizbowl matches.
If you've ever heard the NAQT High School National Championship and ICT podcasts, you know what to expect. The raw audio for the matches will be recorded, assuming that the people in these matches agree to have their voices recorded, and through the magic of the Internet uploaded to my webspace and made available for download for anyone interested through an RSS feed. Once I actualy have the address to that feed ready, I will have a link to it on the sidebar of the site. I will also submit it to the iTunes Podcast Directory for those of you who like to subscribe through there.
In general, this podcast is going to cover tournaments that I happen to go to where the tournament directors let me record matches. The first one will probably be up early next week and will cover the ACF Regionals tournament to be held at the University of Maryland. Future podcasts will probably also cover the Spring High School Classic that we're holding at Maryland, and maybe even a few trash tournaments.
The audio will be recorded on my iRiver t30 MP3 player, which does a decent job of capturing people speaking in a room. Depending on how it comes out, I may also try to do a few audio tricks to balance out the levels of the different people speaking.
One other thing to mention is that these podcasts will likely contain the occassional profane and off-color remark. It will probably be nothing crazy, but if you are faint of ear, you might want to avoid the non-high school podcasts.
