I know we attempted a podcast like 2 years ago, and it was a fun time, but it never really took off.

So here I am proposing a second attempt at the GT podcast.

This time with a somewhat different format, and concept.

The podcast would be more of a roundtable discussion this time around. It would feature a singular host (and right now, and he has agreed I'm leaning towards KeatonMr) who would have a panel of "Experts" each week depending on the topic.

On that subject, the topic would also change from week to week. Since GT isn't primarily a gaming forum anymore, I think it would be best for the podcast to reflect that. So one week could be games, another movies, and then comics or we could have one focused on any events going on at the forums.

So this is a general interest thread. To see who would want to partake, if they have any suggestions for topics, who has experience with producing a podcast.

~Edit
Just to keep better track of scheduling

June 27th- Toy Story 3
July4th- The Last Airbender?
July 11th- FMA: Brotherhood
July 18th- TBD
July 25th- TBD
Aug 1st- TBD
August 8th- StarCraft 2 (?)
August 15th/22nd- Scott Pilgrim vs The World (don't know how many people will see opening weekend)
August 29th- Summer Movie Review/Wrap-Up
Sept 3rd- Fall Movie Preview
Sept 10th- Metroid: Other M
Sept- Resident Evil: Afterlife
Sept- Halo Reach

Feel free to drop any ideas for those slots.

Episode on movie bad-asses.

An episode focused on toys. The type of toys you grew up playing with. If you still buy em and the likes.
An episode on computers, like what was your first PC and all that fun stuff.
Cartoons (Well several episodes, wanna do one focused on comic book cartoons, video game cartoons, and general cartoons)
Gadgets and gizmos, devices that have caught your eye or that you own or want.

I'm in. I'm definitely in.

uber_paddler · 04-05-2010, 05:38 PM

Yeah, I'm totally down to participate. I tried to get a podcast off the ground once over at the IGN boards, but it crashed and burned pretty hard. The hardest part is getting everyone together. If we can manage that we'll be fine.

The only thing is I probably need to get a better headset or something. The only thing I have with a microphone is my netbook and a far inferior beta version of Skype 2.0 for Linux.

It needs to die a little bit.

Hey everyone. Thought I'd post here since I'm the potential host. I plan on starting my own podcast, potentially as soon as Wednesday, on my blog. So anyone hesitant can check that out. Just a warning, it will pretty much be a video I record with my webcam and not much more haha. That's kind of what I came here to say though. For this to work we need someone who is good at video editing. At least, if we want to make it seem a little more legitimate.

I thought this was a Skype voice conference thing?

BreakABone · 04-05-2010, 07:37 PM

I'm under the impression that this will be an audio podcast as well. Since it is simpler to get going and the likes.

Haha, wait, I think we all have different interpretations of what is going to happen here. I was thinking a group Skype chat that would be recorded, edited, and turned into a podcast

Yeah that is what I had in mind, but a Skype audio chat, not a video chat, not even sure how that would work. The work alone would be a pain in the arse.

Professor S · 04-05-2010, 10:02 PM

I will contribute.

Swan · 04-05-2010, 11:58 PM

If I could get my mic working I would be down

Jason1 · 04-06-2010, 07:45 PM

I would be interested, although I work strange hours now so my availability might be limited. I feel now that I have a PS3 AND a WII I might be able to contribute more to the conversations

magus113 · 04-06-2010, 09:05 PM

Well it's not like the podcasts stuck to one simple form of discussion. But we should get started on this soon! I'm excited.

Teuthida · 04-06-2010, 09:28 PM

From how Babs described it to me it appears there will be rotating guests depending on their field of expertise/interest with Keatonmr as the stationary host.

BreakABone · 04-07-2010, 01:23 AM

Yeah that's how it sounded to me as well.

Anyhow, I guess for the first round, we can try...

Well guess we need a topic for the first podcast. Any takers?

~Edit~

It doesn't have to follow this format, but it could be a three part podcast

Part 1: On the Rocks
Basically the Whatcha been Playing/Reading/Watching Segment of the show
It could be topical or just what's going on with the guest of the week.

Part 2: Survey Says
Would be the Segment of the Week. So a roundtable discussion on a singular subject. A game, a comic series, a movie, TV show

PArt 3: What's On Tap
A look ahead at next week. What movies are coming out u wanna see, if there's any big events like a Con or e3, games/dvds/blu-rays /comics coming out. Etc

I mean it doesn't need to follow this format, just an idea
