Fortcast was recently mentioned on the mostly-TF2 blog, 1Fort: http://www.1fort.com/blog/listen-up/#comments

Here's what they had to say:

"They’re new, and they only have one episode, so I won’t grade them. Still, it sounds like a bunch of people talking over World War II field phones. Clean up the audio and stop talking about what you’re going to be talking about, and actually talk about it! Good luck!"

lol well being noticed on the first episode is never a bad thing, no matter how you were noticed

once you have their attention they will keep tabs on how things go so give the listeners what they want I guess right?

Good to see it getting noticed though!

It's not like they're professionals, so why would you expect them to sound good? And aren't they talking over Steam?

No they're not professionals, but you can tell we they try to sound like one.

As for the audio quality, it's not that bad. Only thing is that I can things in the background like mouse clicking or tapping on a keyboard. Lastly, I doubt they're using Steam for audio chat. I think they're using Skype, I also recall them saying something about Skype as well for guest people or something.

Agreed. When I first listened to the Fortcast I wasn't even thinking about the quality. For those who are, give them a chance, they just started the Fortcast and are probably still getting things together. Maybe some will be getting new mics, you never know. If it bothers you that much how about donating to them to get a new mic.

Well...if they want a successful podcast it's got to sound professional. Honestly, I don't think it's going to reach a larger audience with the sound quality that it has.

I think it would be worth it for them to invest in higher quality mics. Heh, maybe we should set up a fund to donate and get them new mics!
