I would really like to help out with this.

Heh, people from all over the site could contribute bites and we could add them to the broadcast. More news, more people.

[Pilot_51]

That's a good idea, user submitted news and whatnot. I'll get it in the checklist.

Live chat with members asking us questions (personal, gaming, or otherwise... :P)

[ShadowMarth]

Not the way podcasts work...

Might as well make it a full-on broadcast...

[ShadowMarth]

No, podcast is better. We could just have people mail in bites or simple text that we read.

Meh, good enough.

I know, double post. I'm too cool for the rules anyway... >_>

Is the podcast going to be "family-friendly" (as professional as possible?)? Or are we just going to talk as though we would normally converse (foul language and all)?
