ok, so i got this idea of doing a round table discussion show.
once or twice a month myself and 2 or three other people get together and discuss various marine aquaria topics. just a structured casual convesation on different things.
what do you guys think?
would you listen?
if everyone wants to see this, i will need 2 or 3 people that would be willing to volunteer there time once or twice a month to do this.. PM me if interested, serious inquaries only, i do ask that you have a few years of experience. you dont have to be an "expert" just have some experience to back.
this of course would again supplement the regular weekly shows, not replace them just like the videos (the rest of these will be out very soon)

I'd listen too...and agree that a time to time, change in "venue" would be good. I don't however, want to get into repeated "off track" or scattered topic shows. I see this in other podcasts and not only do you not have the appropriate time to discuss a specific subject, but FINDING that information after the fact, being burried in a multi,multi,multi topic show, would be frustrating to the end user.
well, to calm your concerns my idea would be a structured open discussion.
for example, we would have 2-5 topics ready. the round table leader would initiate each topic, and go around the table looking for input or information on the topic.
because this would not be a every week thing, it would be more like as needed, or as we have topics to discuss. so we might have 1 in 2 months, or 3 in a month, as topics are available. i have enough on my plate that i don't want to make a major commitment (like a weekly show) but think it would be a great add for the the shows content.
as far as organizing, we can release the shows as enhanced podcasts, which will allow for chapter markers and stuff, so each new topic could have a chapter mark. but enhanced podcasts only work in iTunes, which is why i haven't done them yet.
this is still a half baked idea, but i didn't want to fully bake it unless there was enough interest, and some people that would be willing to participate in the conversations on a semi regular basis

Rob, I think it's a fantastic idea! Adds another dimension to the whole scheme of things. I'd absolutely listen. I think it would be a great idea for exanding on certain topics and to get more of a discussion going. Maybe you could even occassionally bring in a specialist on a particular topic (or two for that matter). Could be very interesting!
Rob,
apparently, like anything you do, people are addicted! They will listen to anything that you release! All because the information is researched and useful. And, most importantly, presented in a wonderful manner.
Kevin, thanks for the encouraging words...
i am treading lightly here, dont want to make any big commitments, especially since at this point there is only one person signed up to do the show with me..
