Starting a Weekly Podcast

August 16th, 2007 by Wesley

I listen to a few Mac podcasts, and I’ve always had an interest in starting one of my own, but never really had a chance to. I’d like to start a Mac and technology related podcast, with a group of about 3 to 4 other people. I’m thinking of pushing out a show every week, of about 45 minutes in length, talking about technology news and rumors.

If you’re interested in doing something like this with me or have ideas you’d like to contribute, please E-mail me, add me on MSN or AIM so we can discuss ideas and work out some stuff.

These podcasts will probably be recorded on weekends, because I’m in school on weekdays. This isn’t a paying job (unless we get sponsors. In which case, the money from that will be split evenly), and it’s to be done on our own time. I plan on editing them, but I don’t mind letting someone else edit if they wish to do so. So again, if you’re interested in joining the team, please contact me.

I hope this works out!

Update:
Our final team is as follows:
Glenn W.
Nick D.
Alex K.

I’ve gotten great feedback for this idea. Unfortunately, I have had to decline some people that wanted to be part of this. I’m glad to see so many people were interested. You can still be part of the podcast by e-mailing us ideas and questions. We’d like this to be a community podcast, so feel free to send us stuff you’d like to hear in the show. I’ve chosen 3 people that I feel will be best for the show. Unfortunately, having a podcast with 7 people just can’t be done, which made picking people hard.

More details will be posted shortly.

    Nice idea! 45 mins is a bit long though. I see you guys got the “Techteen” Trumank on board. :) Good luck, and looking forward to hearing the first installment.

    Howard, actually I was one of the ones he declined.

    WTF I saw your name uo there dude! I am familiar with Nick and Glenn at least.

    Ya, you did see his name. What happened was - a few people contacted me within the first 40 minutes of me posting the blog. Then the next day I had already have 6 people who wanted to be part of it. So, the name I posted the night before, were not the final names. I had to look through and pick who would be part of the show.

    Like I told Truman; if anything happens to one of the podcast members, he will be the first to be contacted.
