Episode 20: The [Un]Sanctioned Citizen Podcast

[Un]Sanctioned Citizen

We are making preparations for the budding of the [Un]Sanctioned Citizen podcast at Callin.com.

3/13 UPDATE: To no real surprise to anyone your Host admits to oversecuritized microphone settings. I liken it to hiding a safe key code so well even you cannot find it. So until the microphone and other hyper-private settings are managed, I am moving forward with old school guest-talk interview formatting, to post right here at Podomatic.
We really like Callin because you can have a panel of guests and issue commmentators on for a discuss and then open the phone partition to take caller questions and frame the discussion.
Callin is going to be awesome because you can produce Town Halls and side bar public input comments on issues where say, Zoom locks you out of US City Hall meetings. Meetings where no one is admitting the public in-person to deliver comments and everyone is still wearing masks. This models as an excuse to not serve and not answer the public, yet still tax us for those services. [If this is you, Callin.com.]
We needed a port in a storm of phone applications hang ups. So we are posting the flagship content here. It's going to require a visit to the phone service to unlock some of the microphone applications options. You cannot yet upload static mp3 files to Callin, yet! While it would be cool to drop in cutaways from prior recordings, I think the point is to have an open dialogue. It's not just for you to talk but for others to talk as well.
There is currently no Callin phone schedule to date. I will be updating this post with some air-times. We may have to experiment with air-times that are going to work for other people to listen in and participate. So what may happen is we have one Callin with a Guest for a good while, semi-longform. Think midi vs maxi in airtime length. The reason is we want other people to get on and talk. From there, I will just have the Guest call back in. Then we can take some calls.
So here is an example of what it might look like:
ROOM TITLE: "GOOGLE SHOOTS DOWN SPACEX SATELLITE, COMMENTARY BY #1 NERD EVER".
It lasts for approximately 30 minutes. We announce a move to the "Green Room Discussion". We end this room and start another room, titled "[Un]Sanctioned Green Room with #1 NERD EVER".
WHAT YOU WOULD DO:
1) Get a Callin profile using a phone number of choice. If you want to use a burner number you can. There are ways to do it with the Burner app, but just choose a phone you can use that Callin will like and accept for either single or multiple uses.
2) Enable your phone and your settings to allow access to your microphone. You can revoke access for privacy later. This is so if you want to call in on Callin, you can actually talk.
3) I'll do my best to screen for people I know vs. complete strangers. Developed relations with my show increases your chances dramatically that you can speak. I am still learning content moderation policies and options as a Callin talker.
4) Invite me to your show so I can drop in and thank you for stopping by at a later time AND HAVE FUN!
