A little over a year ago I got the bug about doing a tech podcast. I had been watching/listening to a bunch of them on Revision3, Twit.tv and GFQ for a while and thought it'd be fun to give it a shot. I talked to a bunch of tech folks I know to see if anyone was interested in giving it a go and ended up doing about 4 months worth of weekly 'beta tests'. We recorded full audio shows using Skype and went through all the motions to work out all the kinks, but never released anything publicly. We were hoping to have things relatively polished before we went live.
Unfortunately, the biggest challenge was getting a partner that would commit to a regular schedule and help me out with some of the administrative stuff. After about a dozen shows with a handful of other co-hosts I just shelved the idea and chalked it up to a fun learning experience.
Well, I've got the bug again and would love to give it another shot, but the key to me is finding a good partner that's as interested in doing it as I am. I'd like to find a partner (or two) I can rely on to help get stuff done, and actually show up every week. :) Honestly I think it's about chemistry though. Anyone can do a podcast and just read the news, but it's the chemistry between hosts that I think bring people back to the show week after week.
I've got some beta test recordings available if anyone is interested in listening, just let me know. I'm not really stuck on the formats or anything, though the only topic I'd likely be able to talk somewhat intelligently on is probably tech. If anyone out there is interested in teaming up, drop me a PM or post here and let me know!
