Someone on VC tried to get one going, but I'm not sure how far along it came. They're fun to listen to and fun to make. Would any of you be into submitting a music-based podcast? 45 minutes to an hour is my preferred length, but as long as it's less than an hour it's manageable for most.

If it is the same theme, member submitted playlists, why not just use the other one?
If you do move forward my two cents.
The lack of continuity in musical tastes makes it hard to get traction amongst returning visitors. Plus, you're essentially dealing with a bunch of varied tastes who are, on some level, trying to bring their most esoteric selections to the party.
I think a better model would be to have a set host or hosts with guest contributors spaced a few episodes out. That way thematic content has a place, but there isn't so much variety. It also gives a bit of a starting ground for contributors.
I'm open to other ideas but I personally think having a POV is important if you want to appeal to anyone outside the boards. There are a bunch of ways to construct a theme or recurring narrative, and folks can and should suggest more, but I think without it you can't establish and audience.

the VC podcast has 9 episodes in the feed...i only have the link handy for the episode i did (http://www.cyberears.com/index.php/Browse/playaudio/15995), but it's on iTunes (it's called For the Record).
i don't think the variety has been a bad thing...but that is what it was created for. and i have always had a pretty crazily eclectic music collection, so that doesn't really bother me.

For The Record never went away. I post a new show every Saturday. www.cyberears.com/index.php/Show/audio/6005 Maybe once I run out of premade shows I'll host it with music news and whatnot. I dunno. Do your own and let's have podcast beef. |
