The idea is not that this my podcast, or that I will always be hosting/organising. Hopefully I’ll do a few, and then you’ll have a template to work off of.
My feeling with recording a podcast is that participants must treat it like it’s live. That will drastrically simplify the edit, which will make future podcasts more likely.
I’ll make this post a Wiki so that anyone can add their ideas. To add your name to the participants list, vote on the recording date poll and comment in this topic. Let me know if there are too many options on the poll. If it’s clear from the responses on this one that no-one can record during the day I’ll only offer evening options in future.
There can only realistically be three or four people talking in a podcast. If there is no other way to choose participants (e.g. expertise on the topics being discussed), then I’ll be going first-come, first served.

Topic ideas
Monday runner — 6:00:00 PM
“Runner” is what South Africans call the run-down, for all you Americans who might come across this one day.
Posting here seeing that it’s not a wiki yet, ideas for topics:
Games news
Games trailers
Games releases
Movie news/releases
Gaming hardware/tech news/releases
MEW gameclub
MEWME updates
MEW game challenges (Forza/Driveclub)
Sorry, I’m constantly between Internet connection this week. Mobile network coverage is surprisingly bad even at expensive accommodations just a short distance outside major towns.
Why is the Switch not that popular in South Africa
What are we playing this week
Talking about the current GameClub Game, Deus Ex Mankind Divided
Talking about the latest MEWME and possible new MEWME events
Talking about the site and where we’re headed
Discuss our feelings about the battle royale hype
Our favourite games.
Can choose any one or some of those topics. I feel like it should be the host that ultimately decides the topics of discussion for the podcast they are hosting.
If we record twice this week (tonight and Saturday) it looks like we’ll be able to do two podcasts with one change in line-up. That would allow us to cover a bunch of industry topics and spread several forum-related topics over two episodes (e.g. talk about Balls of Steel with @Wyvern! )
I do kind of feel there should be an ‘agenda’ for each episode a little before each one so we can research what to talk about before hand a bit. Just so we don’t sound like fools not knowing a thing about anything discussed
