Live Show

Next Scheduled Live Show:

None – keep an eye on the website as well as our Twitter for an announcement as to when the next live show will be!

To Listen In:

Use the Flash player (requires the free Adobe Flash Player plugin)

If the player doesn’t work for you, you can listen in using your computer’s MP3 player software. This will require an MP3 player capable of receiving Shoutcast audio streams. (iTunes and Winamp are two popular free ones.)

Joining the chat room:

Click here to open the chat window. If you like you can change the “nickname” field to a name of your own choosing. You don’t need to change any of the other options shown. Click the “login” button when you’re ready to join the chat.

If you have an IRC chat program installed on your computer and you’d rather use that, just connect to irc.borgchat.net port 6667 and join the channel #otakunopodcast.

Participating in the live call using Skype:

• If you have Skype installed on your computer, in most cases, clicking this handy link will launch Skype and automatically dial in for you.
• If that doesn’t work, just open Skype’s “dial pad” and dial in this number: +9900827047586112 This is a free Skype call and you don’t need to be subscribed to SkypeOut for it to work.

Participating in the live call using the telephone:

• (201) 793-9022 (long distance)
• (888) 350-0075 (toll free)

Please use the long distance number if possible. This shouldn’t be a problem for most people — most cell phone plans these days have free weekend calling as well as free long distance, and for those using landline phones, reasonably priced “phone cards” (MCI, Sprint, etc.) can be purchased at many grocery/drug stores as well as Costco. If this is not doable for you, then you can use the toll-free number, but since this service costs us extra, we’d prefer it if you didn’t.

Once you’ve joined the conference:

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are asked for the Conference Room Number, it is 7586112.

You will be asked to speak your name. It doesn’t have to be your real name – feel free to use whatever you go by when on the Internets.

If, once you join, all you hear is cheesy elevator muzak, that means you are the only person in the call. Congratulations. You can either wait around for someone to join you, or better yet, keep an eye on our Twitter; we will tweet when we start and stop the live call.

If all you hear is silence, then either we are all off doing something else, or we’ve all passed out, or there is something wrong with the conference call. Be patient, and again, keep an eye on our twitter to find out what’s going on.
