We're considering doing a podcast (or 'netcast', as Leo Laporte would have it -- divorcing the idea from the product, as you can listen to these radio-like shows on things other than iPods), and we'd like to know what you would like our podcast to include. We'll likely do interviews and news, but if there's something you think that other shows don't include that you'd like to hear, drop us a comment!Give Us Your Podcast Ideas!

3. I've got an idea - Listen to SecondCast at SecondCast.com, or the Second Life Podcast at SLPodcast.com. :-)
They rock :)
If you do start one, welcome!

1. Given the (not entirely unwarranted) jab you recently took at secondcast, I wasn't surprised to read that you are considering giving them a bit of competition....
If I were to put together a show on SL, I would put out two 30-minute shows per week rather than a single 60 minute show once per week. I would publish them on Monday and Thursdays, with a format something like:
Monday show
(1) 5 minute recap of the weekend's events
(2) 5 minute "tech talk" on some aspect of SL hardware or software (such as server class, how to rebake textures, etc)
(3) 5 minute on SL economy during previous week (like a farm report: # of users, # of sims, current $-to-L exchange rate, etc)
(4) 10 minute interview of someone SL related
(5) 5 minute feature on live music in SL focused on a different performer each week
Thursday show
(1) 5 minute "SL Timeout" summary of different events which are set for the weekend (i.e. what's coming up)
(2) 5 minute interview related to one such pending event
(3) 5 minute spot on scripting/building news
(4) 5 minute on the recent "update" to SL or what to expect with the next update
(5) 5 minute "noobie news" for new users on "what is" or "how to do" type stuff
(6) 5 minutes on SL to RL and RL to SL issues (media coverage of SL, cool new SL products that interact with RL, etc)
Why twice per week rather than once? Simple: better coverage of what's going on in SL as it or just shortly after it happens.

PS. Oh, one more thing, I'd also offer Prokofy Neva the chance to editorialize in some way, like Andy Rooney on 60 minutes. That would guarantee an immediate listenership and lots of fan & hate mail!
