if its after say 5 or 6 pm i MIGHT be able to do it but i might also be going and getting super drunk after work so i'm 50/50 atm

mmm nope, sunday is gonna be no good. i have an essay due on monday morning and i'm going to want to spend the night before working on it.
 
sorry, i'm fudging around here, i know, but i gotta make sure that essay is trim and slim when i hand it in. thing is after monday i'm pretty free again, at least in terms of deadlines.

i'm writing a proper outline for this right now including any conversation questions and topics to help direct the conversation. dada suggested people who will be involved in the talk should come with a couple little things to say ready like a show and tell, too.
 
if you are around hop on IRC just now cos i'm on and gearing up to record some stuff tonight. if it happens that people are available for a group talk in a few hours, then that can happen. we may do a couple of sessions, to cover as many members and as much ground as possible. i'll be editing the thing down while trying to maintain a natural conversation flow later.
 
outline (in progress, i'm writing it now)

just pure curiosity, what's the status on this?

Any news?

 
was difficult to get much interest in actual participants/find a time when people were available. i'll probably do this, because i've been making most things i take an inclination to lately, but not right now. next few weeks are a busy uni period for me so on top of all my own stuff i don't have the spare time. over summer though i cannot imagine me not doing at least a couple of podcasts.
 
so basically the bus driver is on a smoke break

if getting people is an issue, you could always just do an open call thing, and just say be here at X time and who shows up can contribute to a given subject (this is assumming that answers aren't supposed to be prepared before hand of course)

Well I'm here,  just say the word also I got an even better mic now,

doodle it using GMT (+ 4 hours from EDT), choose a 15-minute starting window for stragglers, & have a couple ringers

i don't know if your outline shows the finished product or if it will be that way 'live,' but IMO people like to talk and you can get far more than 45m of conversation about any decent topic. i would edit after the fact rather than hold people to 10-15m sessions but... again it's MO.

well yeah, i was gonna chop it up later, not have 2 regimented sessions or anything, just talk for however long and then later i'd listen to it and pick out the hot chats.. that was the plan at the time.

let me know if you need brainless filler from somebody with nothing of merit to talk about

Isn't that the point? If not, I am horribly under-prepared.

Hi. It is summer for me now, and I still want to do this. I have recorded an intro what will be the first episode, to help give people a sense of it and make it more tangible. This will probably be used in the final episode, and from here I will add things on to the podcast piecemeal as I am able to get people to help. I'll do as much of it alone as I can, but I want it to primarily consist of live conversations because those are always more interesting to listen to than one person.
 
Anyway, here is the link. I'm going to make a doodle for scheduling over the next say, two weeks, and you can fill in any time slot when you know you'd be available for an 'interview' style thing about a specific story relating to the theme, or if there are multiple people available at a given time we can do a group chat thing. If you have a good mic and internet connection, that'd be a big plus, but don't feel that because you don't it isn't possible to do. It's best to have as much material as possible and we'll see what is what.

Here is the intro:

You can use this doodle to mark down your interest and availability. It's in UK time - I'm usually free most evenings, or I can be, so pick a date and a time within the next two weeks as I've set out here and I'll get the notification so I'll know to get in touch with you! Use a name I'll recognise, if I don't know your real name!

this is a really awesome concept
 
i would take part but i do not wish to confront the reality that i am a SOCIAL UNDESIRABLE and am incapable of making meaningful contributions to the universe

Yeah, the concept is excellent but I may not have a whole lot to say. We will see.

who signed up as fuck
 
i told you fucks to sign up as a name i knew! who is fuck!!!

i'll message you both in the morning but looks like esiann, me and dada are gonna be available on thursday 9th 10pm UTC. that sounds like a good slot to me - does anyone else want to join in on a group chat for that slot?
 
i'll prepare some questions and stuff so don't worry about having to generate conversation by yourself. Host Sime will steer things, hypothetically!!!
