So the podcast I want to do, once the legal battles over podcasting copyrighted content are through: It's like the "Pop-Up Video" approach. A group of Clubbers (more than 6-8 might be overload) are represented on-screen with avatars a la 10@10 Club forum. ("Joe McCombs in the role of Gazoo, as played today by '70s R&B artist Bobby Womack.") (I don't know if I'd prefer Clubbers to keep avatars long-term or change them from show to show.) The sound is simply the songs, not any of our comments -- so you can treat it as a background radio station on your iPod and ignore us entirely, if you wish. But if you want the value-add, watch the screen for our comments and images: the kinds of stuff we post here every day. In the name of saleability, we'd all have distinct "personalities," perhaps caricatural but not necessarily so. Each podcast would be 10 Great Songs From One Great Year, the year varying from 1965 to 1995; maybe we can go even more contempo if we feel we've been keeping up with Top 40 and other formats in the more recent years.
Has anyone else considered peeking into the brave new world of podcasting in the New Year? I honestly believe a successful program could be built on this idea.
