RuneScape Podcast

Alright, at the recent TS meeting I brought up the idea for making a RuneScape related podcast.

This is something that I've been thinking about doing for a while and I think that it could bring a lot of positive attention to WG if done right.

The reason for this is, there are no real good runescape podcasts out right now, and the podcasting community is quite large.

Most of the RS podcasts out right now are either horrible quality or very unorganized.

If this gets done there are some things that need to be sorted out:

First of all I would need a permanent co-host, maybe two. This co-host would need to be available a set time, for about 2 hour most likely on the weekend. You would need to have a good quality mic, and you would need skype, as that will most likely be the program that we would use to record on. I would also have guest hosts on the show occasionally.

You also need to have a decent knowledge of runescape. Most of the hosts of other podcasts don't do their research, so as long as you do your homework and research it before hand, you'll be fine.

As far as the actual podcast goes, I would like to cover mostly rs news, new quests, old quests, skills, mini games, pking, and the clan world. I would like to use the podcast as a chance to advertise the clan in a discrete way, as the podcast wont be about WG, we will talk about it.

If this podcast is succesful, it could bring in a lot of members. Just as an example, I listen to a WoW podcast called The Instance, and they have the largest guild in the US. They have 5,537 members currently , and they grow every month.Alea Iacta Est - WoW Armory

Now obviously there are huge differences in the size of the wow community and the rs community. But the principle is still there.

This is something that would take a team effort, I would need a site to host an RSS feed, I need someone who might be able to make a good quality theme song, going to need to come up with a name, something one worded, and catchy. Possibly something WG related. The Guardian? Heh idk, this is the brainstorming stage. Like I said before, if I'm going to spend time and resources on this, I want it to be done right.

So to wrap it up, I'd like to hear some feedback from you guys:

Is this something you would listen to?
What do you want to hear in a podcast?
Do you already listen to podcasts? If so which ones.
Do you think the general RS community would want an RS podcast?
Is this something you could help advertise? Via word of mouth, forums, etc.

Alright that's all for now, what do you think?

Idk about a cohost but I'll definantely do some guest segments lol. It would be cool if we had raid leaders talk about some of our fights and event leaders talk about events (as well as invite the community).

Is this something you would listen to? :
Yeah, if it had information worth listening too.

What do you want to hear in a podcast? :
Information that will either be entertaining or relevant.

Do you already listen to podcasts? If so which ones.
No I don't.

Do you think the general RS community would want an RS podcast?
Yes, I think it would actually be pretty popular.

Is this something you could help advertise? Via word of mouth, forums, etc.
Yes.

I can't wait to hear some of the guests lol This should be fun to listen to.

that is so dope, with podcasts maybe the wg community can grow much larger. this is a great advancement for the clan!

Get Lordy to make the theme song.

I think that if we were able to get it advertised and you found something that would be pleasant for everyone to listen to, then yeah. It would be great.

Give opportunities for other people to participate in it. Make it something to where people (outside of WG) want to be in it. This will make them listen to it.

Include information about clans and you'll get them all to listen because they want to hear what you saying about em

I'd be willing to help out or guest n stuff. Just pm me on forums or irc anytime.

You know what I think...
"Im goin in, im goin in, im goin in, im goin in
and imma go hard, and imma go hard, and imma go hard, and imma go hard"

Yeeeah

I like it. I would be happy to if you need it.

if you want a good wow podcast, listen to "Outlandish" I dont even okay wow anymore and listen to those guys just to lol.

ex- What happens to the other half of the kids umbilical cord? does that mean octomom has 8 umbilical cords hanging out of the **********

this sounds cool im in XD

I'd listen to this for sure. Sounds like a great idea.

I'd like to help aswell.. I could do some advertising.. Just give me a buzz and I'll be there

A pod cast would be great. What is a pod cast? I think Joe talking about clans would be great. He shares his clan insights with me but I think that he should share with a more informed audience.
