OUAT – UStream 101 for IPhones/IPods/IPads

We wanted to make this to help those who are having difficulty accesing UStream during the live chats on Saturday.

For Apple devices, you first need to make sure you have the Ustream app installed on your phone. We don’t recommend Apple users to go to the OUAT Fan Podcast website and use the widget since PC’s have different settings. It is so much better to use the free UStream app from the ITunes store.

Once you have UStream installed on your Apple device, follow these steps:

When the UStream interface opens, tap “More” at the bottom right corner of the screen. It will open a page with the following options – Alerts, Favorites, My Broadcast and Settings. Tap “Settings” and it will will bring you to the page below:

It is advisable to create a UStream account, but you prefer you can also use your Facebook or Twitter accounts if you opt to not make one for Ustream. Just Select which account you will use, and slide the tab to switch it on. It will lead you to a page where you enter your account information then tap log in.

Once you are signed in, you will see this page that will allow you to search for the OUAT Podcast page. In the search bar, just type “ouatpodcast”.

Tap on the OUAT Podcast channel, and it will direct you to the media and chat room where you can listen to the podcast and chat with other Oncers.

When the podcast is finished, tap “Done” and go back to the “Settings Page” and slide back the switch of the account you used to turn it off. That will sign you out of Ustream.

If you have any more questions, please don’t hesitate to ask the deputies. We are always on standby during Saturday shows to help anyone who needs it.

Changes are coming…

Wow, what a week. Lots of good, some not so good, but it will end up good, I promise.

After 2, 2 hour podcasts in the last week and a small amount of feedback on the large amount of content we were releasing, I will be working on ways to incorporate all the awesome feedback we receive into podcast episodes, but also not produce 2 hour shows.

Note: These will be bumpy changes, I want to say that up front. I may try one type of solution on the site, then change it, so things may disappear or be in a different place, etc. I want you to know that I will be working as hard as I can, within the small amount of free time I have to get everything up and running as fast as I can.

I wish I could hire a web designer who is a WordPress guru to do it all when I’m at work, etc, but my passion for OUAT and all the awesome listeners (with the great feedback) have come at a time when I don’t have extra money to do that. I have set up the BBPress plugin as a way to incorporate a Forum for listeners to add thoughts about a show, so people can discuss the episode anytime they want. We love emails, but this forum will give folks another avenue to incorporate thoughts, theories, etc outside of emails to the podcast. Again, we love the email feedback, but I felt like we needed to offer another way for listeners to not only share what they thought, but discuss it with other listeners as well.

I’m not happy with the way the BBPress forum looks right now on the site, and if someone anyone has a great idea how to set up so it flows better, let me know. Thanks.

With that in mind, my goal is to pare all podcast episodes back down to an hour-ish (meaning a few minutes or so over).

We will also be consolidating emails, paraphrasing emails and doing our best to get the information from the emails in a shorter show.

The same thing with the voicemails. I have some ideas how to handle it if we get an influx of them, but we will see how it goes.

To be perfectly honest, having too much feedback is something that every podcaster wishes they had. We are humbled that people take the time to respond and send us feedback, and we want to do the best we can to; share the info, discuss the information, but also shorten the shows to a more manageable time. It may bug some folks, and thrill others, but I wanted to let you know what was coming, that we care, and we will do our best.

FAM 001 OUAT Podcast – Feedback and More Episode

This is a special episode dedicated to our awesome listeners who have sent in email feedback. We have so many great emails coming in all the time, but I was trying to keep our main podcast episodes to about an hour out of respect for the listeners time. Unfortunately, the emails kept coming in, and we didn’t have time in the podcast to address them. I really felt bad about it, but I have now resolved it.

In this special Feedback and More episode Colleen and I are reading and discussing the awesome emails as well as covering points about Once Upon a Time that we may have written down but forgot to mention before. This show is more laid back and there is so much awesome information sent in by the awesome listeners. Thanks again all! Without any further ado, here it is:

Here is the youtube video with Ginnifer Goodwin explaining the Mary Margaret Blanchard character:
