Tech Corner 2.0 #2

Hello to all members! After the lengthy reboot of the Technical Corner (2.0) last month, I thought I’d keep it a little more simple. A little more loose. And, I’m sure you’ll be happy to know, a lot shorter. This time I’d like to cut right to the chase and quickly highlight a couple of places you may or may not be familiar within our facility. 
First off, I’d like to reach out to any members out there who would like to dip their toes into podcasting. BATV’s two second floor edit suites do in fact play double duty as podcasting suites. In each of these suites (with very little training necessary) up to four people can create a podcast. Some of the diverse podcasts that have already utilized our suites include: Joyful Parenting, a faith-based podcast directed at parents; What the Bones Say, a table top roll playing game podcast; and our newest edition that is currently in post-production, Billerica Radicals, a historical Billerica podcast. As you can tell from these very different formats, the sky is the limit for your podcasting ideas and BATV is here for you to bring them to fruition. As I mentioned earlier, it’s truly simple at BATV to create a podcast. It is literally a few buttons to push and a podcast recording session can be created. The polishing after the fact is all up to your imagination. With state of the art editing tools, a large library of sound effects and music and the support of dedicated staff, the only thing really ever holding you back from creating your own podcast is you. 
But maybe sitting around and talking about something isn’t your thing? Perhaps you’re more of a hands on type or shall I say, more of a kneader? Perhaps you want to let your inner baker or chef come out and share your favorite recipes with your community? Well, we’ve got a place for that too! BATV has a kitchen designed for producing beautiful looking cooking programs. In the next few weeks we’ll be adding some additional upgrades that will allow for even better close ups of your delectable dishes. Reach out to us and we can provide ways to easily create wonderful recipes and videos together. A couple of different productions that have already been done in our kitchen are Cindy’s Sweets, a seasonal baking show and Food for Thought, a Nepali cooking program, which is currently in post-production and will be airing soon. BATV would love to share more cooking and baking recipes with Billerica and who knows- you may just become the next great tv chef!
So that’s it for this addition of Technical Corner 2.0. As always, please feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] with any and all questions, comments or critiques. Thanks for spending some time with me in the Technical Corner.
