I kept thinking this was electrical conductors, then train conductors
ME TOO! lol
Me too! Even when they talked about them waiving their arms around, I thought, "Train conductors wave their arms around?" 😂😂😅
@mollyglenn116
Right I'm following along like okay, waving arms around sounds pretty low tech for this kinda thing
I literally never respond to comments but this had me in absolute stitches laughing hahahaha thank you for that
Thanks Guys for podcasts. I am a beginner in learning English; therefore I am trying to listen a lot. In this case your work is very helpful for me.🙏
Great to hear!
Thought this one was gonna be about trains. I’d like to hear that one! What the heck do they do?
Right they go straight then stop haha
I know there's way more but don't know what
Expecting electrical capacitors because I read the title too fast. Then saw my mistake as I clicked. Now expecting electrical conductors
Edit: I was wrong again. Haha
Same, I'm more than a little disappointed 😅
I thought rube meant that they don't even know they are being rubish.

I've played in an orchestra all my life. Most of this was funny, but around 30:00 it really becomes far too clear that you guys have no actual practical knowledge of the topic you are talking about. Conducting isn't a magical, impossible talent that nearly no one has. Universities teach it to many thousands of music students every year. Keeping the beat isn't complicated, the orchestra mostly keeps the beat on its own. We players aren't idiots, we can hear everyone else, we can keep time and we know the piece! Mostly, the conductor just has to slow us down if we play to fast (or speed us up).
Players learn during rehearsals what the other instruments are doing and when we need to start or stop playing. As long as any instrument is playing, all other instruments' players are perfectly capable of counting on their own and knowing when to start up again. Mostly, we don't even need to count, we know the piece and can hear that the right time is coming up.
It's during the rehearsals that the conductor is really important. There they tell the players which parts they want to be louder (quieter, faster, happier, more emotional, less perky, ... ... you get the drift). That way they shape the piece into their own piece of art. Very much like the director for a movie or a theater piece. :) During the performance their job is mostly just helping with the exact timing whenever that's difficult, giving reminders ("hey you, not so loud!"), and giving motivation for more emotive performance.
I don't understand what a podcaster does can anyone just upload what they mumble into a microphone?!
