I'd like to vote for all three options!
I think it is a great idea, and I have a lot of experience starting and funding companies, so drop me an IM if you get serious. Some friends an I, who are from all over the political map, have considered starting such a politically incorrect podcast where we all wear full single color body suits that cover the face as well, to avoid getting cancelled. Like this one: Bodysuits on Amazon. EDIT: Always have the host wear one of the grey body suits, and call it the Gray Man Show. Gray has historically been associated with "the middle", and has even shown up in various sci-fi and fiction books and shows - see the Gray Council on Babylon 5 as one of many examples. Guests can pick a color, anything other than gray. Tack on a number to their color, or a greek letter, so the first guest who chooses blue is Blue1 or Blue Alpha, and so on for each color, that lets you have repeat guests. The marketing plan is unfolding between my ears as I type....... |

@Quiganomics 10000% will listen, but you need @Aimless as the first guest. I want to hear about penguin breeding habits in NY.

I'm thinking that 1 hour to 1.5 hours is the sweet spot for length. Thinking 2 guests, one for a serious discussion, the other would be the equivalent to shitposting. So for format, have the serious gues and discussion on for the first half of the show, then bring in the shitposter for the other half for a more laid back comedic ending.

I think over an hour is pretty long. Imho 30-40 mins would be max most people would be willing or able to spend.
Unless the host/interviewer is very talented and well prepared (which would take lots of behind the scenes time) two, or more, opposing viewpoints having a discussion with some reasonable and balanced moderation would make for good, on the spot entertainment. You could toss in an auxiliary, neutral, fact checker, using the net to throw out tidbits, as a conversation develops. Something sorely lacking in many talk shows. So, if someone thinks they can pull out a stat or fact out of their ass, they can expect an interjection 5 minutes later, " Ackshually, that isn't true at all according to blah blah blah. That Stat seems to have originated with XYZ biased group". |

Just a heads up for those that said they would be a guest, I updated the op, so if you're interested pm me and I'll start a spreadsheet of potential guests for those wanting to participate.

Great idea, as long as it's socially, sexually, and racially sensitive.

What happens when someone wants to chime in and disagree/agree with differences/, etc, just like an arfcom thread? Gonna have a call in line, or Livestream chat that you can pick and choose from?
You KNOW that many episodes will devolve into good natured chaos, a boring "we all agree thread", outright anger, etc, from the peanut gallery. Possibly in the same episode... |

I like "LIVE GD" a lot.
I also kinda like "Beans or No Beans", that would be the first question every guest is asked and keep an all time running tally and the bottom. |

Blading at 45 Fo Time 87 Degrees of Seperation The Curse Those would be great episode subtitles/topics. When I was den leader, I had my Tiger cubs make a news paper, each boy doing a short article. We handed them out at the pack meeting. I named it "The Tiger Din". One mom pulled me off to the side to point out my embarrassing misspelling of "den". I had to explain the play on words since "din" can mean a sort of low rumbling of discontent discussions. If you're too far ahead of your crowd, you're just out for a lonely walk. |

Like now. Fell off a ladder cleaning the gutters out this afternoon and I'm loopy as hell from back pain meds. I'm sitting here by myself watching TV because everyone went to bed and got to thinking, I wanna start a late night talk show livestream with arfcom members as guests. I think it would be funny as fuck having random GD'ers on live to discuss anything relevant, funny stories, firearms, politics, food, business, and womenz. It would be like a retarded Tonight Show: GD Edition. I have a ton of equipment to make this work and look halfway professional so it COULD be done. Is OP a genius, or did OP maybe smack his head as well when he fell? UPDATE #1: Being that over 100 of you fuckers voted that this could be a good idea, I'm going to try to make it happen. Not sure how soon as I have a few things to do, such as design a virtual set, arrange for some folks that are willing to participate, get OBS set up for a conference style broadcast, etc. Also, got to think of a good name for this. Hoping to maybe start by Dec. 1 if everything works out. UPDATE #2: Ok, seriously looking to get this going and make it happen as this seems like it could be a lot of fun. I'm off work today so I just started designing a virtual set that is reminiscent of older late night talk shows. I want to get a list of folks that would be willing to be guests, so if you are interested, shoot me a PM. Looking for a name for this project as well, so if you have any ideas post it in this thread. View Quote |
