Well I should say that the community one has already been approved so that's already a go.

Cant believe I skipped this post. w00t! Its a go! Cant wait.

Just to point this out, Naznatips did have this idea probably two months ago now. The problem is in organizing it, getting people together, selecting interesting topics, etc.... The biggest obstacle (iirc) was that there was some hesitance to OK the project and move forward until we were sure we could deliver them regularly while keeping to a consistent length and remaining entertaining.

While I find the concept intriguing, what would be discussed exactly? The weekly numbers just aren't that entertaining. You could try to go for game discussion, but you would probably need a rather large crew to get a guaranteed spred of people with the game.

Well of course. Theres NO WAY it would just be about the numbers.



The numbers would be boring because they rarely ever change.

In every episode we'd want to discuss something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.

Think about it.

 I have thought about it and I am coming up blank. The site isn't renowned for anything other than the sales numbers. Unless we wanted to expand our game reviews section I just can't imagine what we would discuss.

Well I can't say they are easy to setup, and regular basis can almost be impossible due to you never know if someone will have a bad connection on the day or whatnot, although usually its avoidable.  AS I said your talking to someone who has done podcasts for awhile and I know every obstacle there is.  Usually the hardest part is getting people to be in it.

As for length it has never been something I've worried about when I did them before.  I've had some be only as long as 30 mins and others up to 3 hrs.  Although when I did the long ones they usually were for a select group.  Normally I try to keep them an hour to 90 minutes long.  But when I did those they were all a lot less strict and more about content than time.  Really would have set times for things.  But those are definetly easy to set.



Well I'm just going to stop commenting until I talk to Benga as all of this really is simply just talk right now.



I would love to help out. I seriously could being that I just found out we live 10 minutes away from each other.
