Oman3D Podcast

(try not to look at the hand)
We had the big idea for making a podcast for more than a year, we bought some equipment and planned the thing, but never actually did it. Two days ago I woke up and decided to just go and do it, it was now or never. My Oman3D colleague Conceptoo and I got together at my place, wrote down what we wanted to say, and recorded it.
At the end, I realise that I probably made the world’s most boring podcast, I sound so dead I hate it. Conceptoo recorded an Arabic version which I think sounds so much better. Each of these podcasts is less than 5 minutes in length, we simply recited the latest headlines and articles we had published on Oman3D during the last month. We think that having a podcast is a great way for promoting our content in a new medium, we hope that it will attract visitors to our website through new ways.
We realised that nobody ever realises how he or she sounds to other people and that people might not even recognise their own voice when they hear it played unless they were told it was them. The voice inside our heads is never the same as what other people hear.
I’m sorry about the quality of my podcast, it took us 3 hours to get those 5 minutes recorded, it is so easy to start pronouncing words in the strangest ways in front of the microphone, and lets not even start with the weird accent peaks.
We’ll try not to sound more like speaking instead of reading next month!
