So this is an idea I've been toying around with for some time, and I wanted to gauge interest/ask for some assistance. I've this nice mic I bought when I was casting and playing a lot more and it is sitting on my desk gathering dust. It has been a long, long time since we as a community had an audio only, State of the Game type situation.

There is loads and loads of content out there, I would go so far as to say shit loads. There are more games and tournaments now that there were for a fair shake of HOTS during that oh so depressing 2013. Ostensibly, you should be going to Team Liquid for these updates, and you've done that now, congratulations; but sometimes, those of us burdened with commutes, work days, and for most of you distracting yourself during lectures/studyhall, are some times tasked with the trouble of amusing ourselves while maintaining the semblance of productivity. I've found podcasts a good way to do that.

Super hip Square Space preliminary stuff, because if I want podcast money I need to suckle from the Square Space tit some.


I don't think it needs to be anything fancy to start with, I've asked our own CreatorGX for some thoughts on logos and the like, for which I'll see what shakes loose and compensate accordingly. What I would love input on is formatting. You'll infer, I hope, from my little 5 minutes on the free Square Space Editor, that I am thinking about covering some of the best of the week in terms of games, events in the community, and this of that nature.

As I said, I am wont to podcast. Frequently. The best podcasts, or at least the ones I frequently follow expected formulas in terms of their schedules.

What I've come up with for formatting is approximated below:

    1. That week's (every other?) games.
    2. Community goings ons.
    3. Guests?
    4. Listener Input (eventually?)
    5. Close, say goodbye to you bad, motherfuckin' nerds (Think Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction Bad), Up and coming events.



I am shooting to have a solo bit out, once I sort out some audio transitions to make the sound of my cat mewing and the dog downstairs barking seem slightly less prevalent, with the bare bones, for which I will post a blog. What do you think though? Do you think there is space for this format, would you be interested in such a thing? Co-host, no co-host, guests?

I would love your input, I don't have the time to play that I used to, but SC2 is my game, and to use the Brokeback Mountain parlance:

I won't though.

Let me know, I am going to be pulling together league results for a couple weeks, and covering what I think is the most interesting things from the scene to try and give a good picture with my solo job. It will lamentably cover Prime, lucky you Lorning. Anyway, looking forward to what you all have to put forward.

I'd be willing to spew my objective opinions on your show if you need a cohost.

With so much SC2 going on, I think a podcast that recaps the week's events and matches would be awesome. The challenge would be to find talking points that will engage the audience. To that end, I think just having lively discussions would go a long way to achieving that goal so finding one or two others to do the podcast with you is a good idea.

TL-LR podcasts, where SGTK and The_Templar fight to the death with words! :D

All jokes aside, I would definitely listen, and if you ever needed any help with the project I would be happy to oblige.
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

You should take call-ins so I can berate you mid podcast.

I've been wanting this to become a thing for so long. There are so many times I'm ready to consume more StarCraft content but can't watch anything (like long drives), and thought that it would be amazing if I could just listen to some stuff.

I would 100% tune in to the podcast, plus call in when I could. Also I'd be super interested in cohosting of you ever want to do auditions or something.

Can't wait to hear what comes of this. Go for it!

To increase content and interest, (some if this would need to wait until there was a little momentum probably), you could add player interviews maybe, meta discussions, advertise community tournaments and projects, match/tournament bracket prediction contests.

IMO a community show that discusses the community and it's members would be really refreshing, rather than just relisting and discussing top news from Screddit and TL for the week like SotG etc tended to do on the slow weeks.
