An hour long podcast, recorded fortnightly, with a preplanned set of topics (preferably announced in advance), perhaps 1 or 2 regular guests, or multiple interchangeable guests, and then a 1-2 hour open town hall type discussion at the end, seems like a better format. A host who can actually keep the topic on point, and not go off on wild tangents, which are usually shitty, give the various guests a fair platform, moderate conflict and not make themselves the center of the universe, would be a good deal.

That's pretty much what I'm going to aim for, but with less reliance on guests.  Don't want to end up rehashing guests over and over.

Basically my format as it is right now (Still changing as I think on it):

Introduction

Thoughts on various topics (As in, any past events to recent events, and possibly future events - probably focus on an alliance or a bloc during these talks)

QnA

End

The "various topic" bit will be longwinded, as I tend to be an exceptionally longwinded speaker once I get going.  Having the topics to talk about isn't the issue for me at all, it's trimming it down where I don't come off overbearing to the listener.

I also want to try and knock it down to 1 hour in talk, but if I have guests - I'll probably bump it up to 2 hour, that way we can talk to the guest (And if there's multiple, let them have a open town hall debate).  I also want to try and get people who aren't "known" very well.  Maybe one night I'll have a micro leader who looks promising come on board and talk, promote his own gig, then another night have an experienced leader show up and give us their perspective on events or what helped make them successful in obtaining a leadership role in their respective alliance, etc.

You need a structure and you got the best - this is what we did with Thunderdome a while back, which people seemed to love. We put fresh people on, had questions hashed out, the guests knew the questions we would ask and topics we would talk about so they wouldn't be like uhhh uhhhhhh and silent. IT flowed and it had a beginning and an end.

Once it was over, it was over. Whatever/whoever wanted to do a group chat after that was fine, but a foundation/structure is needed to keep the host on track and guests on track. 

I will also say that a host needs to remember that he is in control of the direction of the show. Interrupt, put guest on track and halt digressions.

If you have one or two other folks you can rely on, you could do segments of 10 mins each when it comes to thoughts on various topics. It'd be interesting tbh. Allowing for a 5 minute introduction, 30 minutes segments, 10-15 mins on QnA's and then the last 10 to conclude lol. Moreover, another idea could be having listeners to join in during the QnA on the VC and ask questions directly kinda thing, like the call in real radio shows have.

Anyone who thinks Templar Radio is better than Kastorium is kidding themselves. 

I think you might be biased.

 

If you think you’re a good host, your kidding yourself. I saw you wanted to get into making a podcast. I hope you do and you find success, but you’ll need to actually put effort in. You need to steer the conversation on topic which is the opposite of what you’ve done with your show. You were the distraction in your show, and simply let the other people talking carry the conversation and rarely added anything of value. You can’t just show up late, leave early, and do nothing and have it magically work. You’ll need a better mic, preferably an interface where we don’t hear your thudding away on your phone or keyboard, and actually be informed on your topics. 

 

If you want to talk ideas and such let me know. I’ve learned a lot from shows I’ve done in these games and podcasts in other places as well.

I feel like it's a bit silly to do a weekly show. There's not enough to talk about, unless you're intending to just outright go down and answer questions given to you in advance. I wouldn't mind doing something monthly myself, but I'm not plugged into the game enough to do it.

I’ve taken care of the mic problem. $50 later and you can’t hear much background noise, so I’ll probably be using a room in my library for it and hope there’s no events going on.

Video killed a radio-star, the best Radio show is a dead one, why use almost stoneage tech to communicate to modern audiences which want moving pictures, you know you are competing with literally all forms of entertainment and activities. So no Orbis show will never win over game of thrones or porn, why even try it in only audio format, until someone is crazy enough to invest in atleast P&W themed podcast with video, sadly P&W radio will always be 20 to 30 nerds or people with nothing better to do.

I mean, radio still goes pretty strong as do audio only podcasts. If you want more people to listen, it really needs to be recorded and uploaded for people to listen to when it suits them.

no keegoz you don't understand.  we need to literally be more popular than pornography.  that is the only way to measure success, is to win over game of thrones or online porn.  there is no other way.
