Yup, I've now joined the ranks of the podcastin' community and just uploaded my first adventure. You can check it out at www.coconutwired.com. Let me tell you this, after trying to put together one episode, I have to give major props to Vegas Vic and Piko. You guys make it sound so easy. Jeez, it took me months to get this first episode up and running wild over the internet. Piko was a big help getting me started in the right direction. Thanks Brah! This first episode features the artwork of Sam Gambino and the musical stylins of fellow TC members Pablus and the Haole Cats, The Mai Kai Gents, and the Big Tiki Dude. Thanks to all of you for letting mne use your tunes. If you like what you hear go ahead subscribe to the podcast. Of course any input or suggestions are totally welcome, but hey go easy on me I a total newbz at this and a few more things to figure out. The next adventure is on the map table as I type. If you are interested in having me play your band or feature your art or a link or promo exchange, Give me eHoller! Enjoy,

Mahalo guys! Let me know if you have any suggestions or comments. I have already started putting the next show together and have some incredible talent on board for the next adventure. For you folks who haven't hipped to Podcasts yet, Most cost nothing to listen or subscribe to. You don't need a iPod, all you need is a browser, iTunes or an application that plays mp3's. I would suggest iTunes because they make it real easy to listen, subscribe and watch enhanced podcasts which are no more than podcast with images and/or video included. My shows are enhanced podcast. To play my show go to Coconutwired.com and click on the little icon that says "pod" by the episode name and it will play in your browser as a quicktime file. Most browsers have the quicktime plug-in already installed. Of course a slow internet connection is going to have you waiting because the files can get hefty. Give it a try, but beware podcasts can get addicting. They are all I listen to at work these days. Much better than listening to stuff that means zilch to me. Here is the wikipedia definition of a podcast: Podcasting is the distribution of audio or video files, such as radio programs or music videos, over the Internet using either RSS or Atom syndication for listening on mobile devices and personal computers. A podcast is a web feed of audio or video files placed on the Internet for anyone to download or subscribe. Podcasters' websites also may offer direct download of their files, but the subscription feed of automatically delivered new content is what distinguishes a podcast from a simple download or real-time streaming (see below). Usually, the podcast features one type of "show" with new episodes either sporadically or at planned intervals such as daily, weekly, etc. Besides that there are podcast networks that feature multiple shows on the same feed. Podcasting's essence is about creating content (audio or video) for an audience that wants to listen when they want, where they want, and how they want. |

Spermy BTD, Did you guys try the link posted above? I am not all that bright with a lot of this stuff particularily on the PC side of it. I kinda just jumped in using my Mac laptop and went. I am using Libsyn as a host and they have been doing a lot of upgrades and moving of files. That may be the problem. As with all new techery the bug and workaround are plenty. So my advice is try it again. MM- Mahalo man. How did you access the show? itunes, quicktime, PC Mac?? Next show is shaping up Stay tuned |

Did a podcast search through I-Tunes and it worked flawlessly Although I am on a MAC I would guess that the same functionality would exist through the pc version of I Tunes. |

Big Tiki Dude- I looked into removing the pics and resaving as an mp3 and I wasn't able to do it. I am only able to save as a .m4a file. You might try heading over to apple.com and getting the latest quicktime plug-in. im starting to think the m4a format is unplayable using out of date browsers and plug-ins. Can any PC people shed some light? What are you other PC people using for Podcasts? Chongolio |

Well, this may be a little self serving, but I need radio! If you're not listening to Brogdon's Retro Cocktail Hour on KANU or Irwin from WFMU, or the Flaming Ukulele Radio Hour on WNTI, or Vic's 365 broadcasts for that matter, then you're missing out on a LOT, brother!!! Sure, its in real time streams, but jeez, its not that hard to click a link and listen. Its not like I need to have everything stored on my hardrive. |

Hey hey Thanks for the feedback Travelin' J. Good to hear the signal made it your way. I pulled this info regarding the enhanced podcast files off of Piko's Hawaiian Concert Guide: "This show has been posted in an "Enhanced" format AAC (M4A) formatted file instead of the older MP3 format. While this format allows for richer content including imagery and web links, it is only compatible with QuickTime and/or iTunes both of which are simultaneously Macintosh and Windows compatible." So there you have it, for you poor souls who aren't running iTunes or the latest version of Quicktime. You are just going to have to be content reading about the exciting world or enhanced podcasting. Well 'ol Monkeypod and I have all the music together and putting the final touches on adventure # 2. The equipment is still sparkin' and the weather is still wet but the Coconut Wired Clan is going for it anyway and hope to have adventure #2 uploaded this weekend. Watch this thread for subscribe so you are sure not to miss it! |

Input and feedback is always nice and there are several placces you can do it. You can leave comments on the Coconut Wired blog, at the iTunes store, or here at good ol TC. Please leave it anywhere you feel inclined. Thanks again to everybody who has shown there support! Your the ones that make this a fun adventure! Hey I, Zombie you don't sound like a grump. I like listening to GOOD radio too. I am taking much inspiration from the dj's of old. There is a really interesting documentry about the original Dj's from the fifities on Netflix called Rock and Roll Invaders. Dig!

Why thank you very very much Surftiki and Rum balls. I am really having a ton-0-fun doing these podcast. I have recieved emails from all over the state and a few from overseas! Absolutely amazin'!!! I have also gotten the oppurtunity to chat with some of the folks in some of my favorite bands and everybody has been really cool about letting me use their tunes. If you like the tunes your hearing, please support the bands and buy their CD's! Tell them Chongo sent you! Mahalo Nui Loa my freinds, |

Alas, this will be the first Oasis I will have missed since starting at Tiki Oasis 3.........it is a combo of having to attend a wedding and honestly really having to consider the expenses as a vendor. I was barely covering the costs before, so I wouldn't be able to do it this time. But! Hopefully, many more art shows at the Lucky Tiki as well as other events I will be able to hang! Thankfully, I got your killer show to pul me through! |

Hey! I'm currently downloading episode #4 and I'll bet it's fantastic! Seeing as I couldn't make the oasis this year, I'm sure it will be a bittersweet experience but at least I can catch a little bit o' the flava! Once again, great show Chongolio! Great exposure to the current music as Vegas Vic is to the classic era! |

I have uploaded the episode #4 Tiki Oasis special and it is now available for a listen at Coconutwired.com. Just click the "pod" icon left of the title and you should be able to watch and listen if you have a recent version of Quicktime. iTune users CLICK HERE. Or better yet subscribe, it's free! Many thanks Suburban P!!! Sorry you couldn't make it. Feel good knowin' there are more events on the near horizon that are going to a lot of fun too. So now with heavy heart, I am getting ready to burn gears back up north. Thanks for tuning in! Chongolio |

I used Haulin' Hearse from the Ghastly Ones. It's a cool song and it was one of the few songs available online so I didn't have to hassle The Ghastly Ones to send me an mp3 use. By the Way...The Ghastly ones will be playing at The Tiki Invasion on Saturday August 5th. Hope to see a bunch of you there!! Chongolio |

Thanks Ken! It was my pleasure to have your art featured on Coconut Wired. I wish I had the time to do larger and more in depth episodes, but keepin up with one 20 minute show a month has been challenging. I have started on the 7th episode and will be featuring another TC artist, So keep your ears and eyes peeled. Musicians!!!! I am always searching for new exotica, surf, instro and tropical inspired tunes to send out over teh coconut wire. If interested zap me a PM or email. Mahalo for all the support! Chongolio |
