"An idea that will probably fail"

I'm interested in doing a gaming centric podcast for the Freeola forums, mainly to improve my knowledge of gaming in general and in the hope that I might get a job out it (although with my health problems, I'm lucky to get out of bed each day :) )

So, basically, I'm interested in knowing what you would want to listen to as it is for you. What sort of things should I cover? What segments would you interested in? How long would be too long?

Give it some thought and get back to me. If you feel it is a bad idea and no one will listen to it, you are probably right, so tell me.

1 minute clips? I don't think I'm fully understanding what you are saying.

He means make the things last one minute. I think.

However that is extremely unlikely to produce any sort of decent content. Not a lot you can do in 60 seconds.

BBC3 have a news report called 60 seconds though that always suprises me how much they fit in so..........

It's unlikely to initiate any sort of debate and I am covering a weeks worth of stuff, not just a day like the 60 seconds BBC programme

61 seconds enough?

I actually like your idea GP and look forward to seeing it develop. Do it how you feel you should - after all, you are the one providing the content. If you make it easy enough for yourself, it is more likely to develop into a regular thing, whereas if you find it hard work, as stipulated in the thread title, it will start to fail (like my blog...). Keep it realistic and I belive you are onto a good thing :D

Okay, I've finished the first one. It is 73mb (1 hour 20) though, which means I have no way of distributing it. :D

If anyone has any ideas (without me having to pay for anything), let me know.

I thought it went okay, was a bit nervous and I'm not sure if it will take off but hopefully some people will listen to it. :)

1 hour 20 minutes is a long time mate. I wouldn't even spend that long listening to WOW news :D

But still, I would like to hear it if we can think of some way of getting it to me.

Do you have any web hosting you can upload it to?

Any places I have are 10mb limits on files and I think I can only store up to 40mb.

1 hour 20 isn't that much. I listen to one every Wednesday that is over 2 hours. ::D

There are plenty of filesharing sites that'll host a file of that size. Try rapidshare, mediafire or megaupload.

Send us a quick email GP and we can discuss. I could get you to upload to my webspace, which would be the easiest solution.

This is a good idea and could work well.

Another idea for something to put in: A quick run down of the demos releases on Xbox or PSN. You don't need to have played them, but just list them out or something.
