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.
