Right then, I actually spent some time and I’ve gone through all the feedback on the podcast. I think we have a good idea of how to start. From there it can/will change and morph into something else we see works.
So, to answer my own questions, which were…
- What should the podcast focus on?
- Is there a specific structure you would like to see?
- How long of a podcast would you like to listen to?
- Can anyone assist in editing the episodes?
- How often should the podcast be posted?
- Can the podcast be posted here on MEW somewhere?
- Do you have any recommendations from a technical aspect what we need to consider?
- Do you want to be a participant in the on-air discussion?
- Do you want to host the show?
…here are the answers:
- The podcast will start out as a gaming, movie, series and geek related podcast. The main focus will start out with gaming, but we will cover interesting topics of discussion in other geek related genres
- the podcast will have different segments. There will be many different segments that will rotate in and out of the podcast. Each episode we start out with a news roundup and quick opinions on those. Then we will have 2 or 3 other segments in each show. Maybe those are reviews of games, talk about upcoming movies, discussion something that happened in a series etc. Each week the host can choose which 2-3 segments to add to the show they are hosting
- Many different opinions dancing around the time frame of 30 minutes. The podcast will start out and aim for 30 minutes. We will see how things go and if we can get Soli to not talk so much…
- We have 6 people that have put up their hand to assist with the editing of the podcast. The names are Hammer, @Blazzok, @Tom, @Talentloos, @SIGSTART and @MalicE
- Lots of views for weekly, but with good arguments that we must start out with a fortnightly (ehe) podcast. So we will start doing one show every second week
- For the start we will host if on MEW. We will also put it up on iTune, Spotify and other places once we get going.
- The technical aspects are: get good mics, have good internet, remember the mixing when editing.
- So far everyone has stated that they want to be on the podcast. And you will. Each week we will have a rotating roster of talkers, and that may depend on the host or the range of topics on for discussion. That way we’ll have everyone on the podcast at some point
- Same as with the participants, there will be a rotating roster of hosts each episode. Everyone will get a chance to host that put their name up for it.
And that’s the feedback. Now, it’s time to plan and start the actual work. Also note one thing; thinking about it, we will start out and keep things PG at first.
