Daisho Con

I am very very interested in doing this.. I always wanted to do a podcast.. and this is just perfect for that.

I'll be sending most of you e-mails soon, but I'm home for Easter Celebration, so I'll be not online for most of the weekend except for a little bit at night. I think that instead of a "practice" podcast, we start with a general Skype meeting. I know this week is bad for Capito, so let's get some times down so that most of us can be there. I'll be taking notes and I'll post them in this thread.

I've got quite a few ideas for the show and I want to hear your input, but we will need to make some decisions as to what show we want to make at that meeting. It doesn't need to be set in stone, but we need something at least to start us off. The big question will be: Two guys shooting the breeze style (www.diggnation.com) or a pre-produced show, heavily mixed at the endgame? (www.thecaverntoday.com) The Mixed Pre-produced style can provide a much higher quality, and we can diversify the show format a lot, while the random-panel show needs to be led well so that the show doesn't fly off the track. However, the panel discussion has a lot more interaction between staff members live, and has a faster production schedule. Or we can do a mash-up of the two. Round-table with the Pre-Produced segments added as commercials/filler, or otherwise to break up the pace. Pre-produced with a major segment being "DaishoTalk, the round table disscusion forum about all things Geekdom".


So, I'm asking you to post a day/time/whenever will work for you to be either on Skype, or in the UWSP area. On my Desktop at the dorms I have the program to record skype calls, and if we need to we can do some things there, otherwise I'll take notes for the meeting.

Also, for the meeting, I want everyone to come up with something to say about the format, segments, or topics for the show. Be creative, be unique. Nothing's a stupid idea until we try it once.

So i don't use Skype, does it cost anything?

Entirely free. Skype.com, set up an account, and voila. All you need's a mic, and a webcam if you want to make video calls, but that's optional.

My skype name is alhontirathen, so feel free to add me, although because of the hassle of using it at school, I'm not online with Skype all that often.

Just saw my name dropped for recaps and such. I got Skype for Geek.kon meetings, so I'm all for helping out with recaps, even some convention stories and tips.

Heh... just got idea #1 for closer to November...

"How to survive DaishoCon for n00bs."

Which, considering last Daisho was my first con ever, would be a very interesting one for new people and old ones alike.

Thoughts?

My skype name is capitocapito.

The best time for me would probably be wednesday evenings. If that doesn't work, I'm fine with missing out on the first show.

I'll help maybe even be in the show if you want. just give me a time and place. if its this weekend however I work till midnight tonight and 9 tomorrow.

my skype name is Battlemankiller

I think for the style of cast, I think it should be 2 guys talking with guest hosts discussing a preset list of topics, and each discussion should be timed to lets say oh, 5 to ten min max. WHat i was thinking of is First 10 min Diasho con update/promotion time, then go to a discussion of for ex. Con survival for noobs, then do a segment on this week in anime ( where we discuss upcomming anime, new releases exc. Then do a segment on video games. the show should be 30 to 45min max.

My skype name is belldandy4087 i think. Most nights are good for me just gotta let me know. But how does monday night sound. I will be in point for the Daisho con staff meeting anyway so. yeah lets go for it

I almost forgot, the discussions can and some probably should have more than the two main hosts in them. And durring daishocon we should get interviews of the guests. so, lets begin

Monday after the meeting would work for me.

If its late enough I'm good. But when I called the skype test thing it sounded really choppy, so my internets may be too slow. I can be the man with the choppy voice type host, or I can go to one of the many places around town with broadband wireless, unlike my house.

You'll have to count me out for the first few episodes, but anything I can do after the 27th, let me know.

If you're going to do one of the first shows on surviving Daisho con/tips I'd recommend working Kara Kuro, 1stAgent, and Cheesus in on it.

I'm definitely getting excited for this.
