I'd like a running tally. I'm also open to rotating hosts, and I think that might be preferable for a lot of people.

 

So, the podcast as of right now would be weekly, approximately 1 hour per session. I may need editors (John_Havok and Bendera thanks for your interest). I'll also take those tips on a good, affordable microphone.

 

You'll obviously need a way to record your beautiful voice in a way that doesn't sound like absolute crap.

 

DP messaged me about ways to monetize the podcast since he's a hungry capitalist shark so that's a thing that may happen in the future.

 

 

Ok, so, indicate here if you're interested in being a permanent host or a rotating host. Don't worry if you think you suck, we probably all do. There might be some growing pains. You can also indicate if you're interested in helping in a different way, editing, cleaning the sound, doing writeups, etc. Mind you, all of this work is going to be pro-bono, at least for now.

 

Fire away!

Don’t think I have the voice for it, but it sounds like a fun project. I would gladly be on board to help in anyway if there’s room.

Wish I had the time. I probably have the most charisma and brains and the least audible lisp of anyone on this board.

 

I've always thought a simulcast with the games would be a good idea. Just let people mute their TV and listen to actual decent commentary. Could do it through Twitch or something and pull up Fangraphs etc. during the games for viewers.

Also clearly the most humble.

You mean the facebook feed doesn't do it for you?

If you needed a host out of nothing but desperation I'd do it but I'd rather be a listener rather than an active contributor.

You don't have one hour per week? Living the life.

Well putting together something of worthwhile quality would take significantly longer, presumably. Research, prep, editing, etc.

A charismatic man of such intellect should need little to no time to prep for this.

 

Seriously though, you're probably the most ideal person for the job. Pendleton4life19 will even work pro bono on the DDL draft prep for you to free up time/commitments.

I'd just need you to be a talking head.

That's a really good idea.

Just my opinion, but I think the weekly podcast should be in conjunction with a live Jays game. It naturally provides more content and will help fill periodic silent spots.

I might be interested. If not a host I could help be a "producer" and come up with segments and stuff. I'd like to know more about what the commitment would be. I'd also like to be highly offensive so I'd prefer to use my Terminator moniker if that's ok.

I think the panel should be Boxy, Terminator and Jim. And also that it shouldn't be a baseball podcast.

Lesson #1 of capitalism: Never tip your hand to the other guys on a public message board where they can read it.

 

Also, get on that request I sent you, you lazy bum.

I'm pretty sure a simulcast commentary would certainly be something you would need written consent from the Jays to do

Of course you can't, that would be neat though.:(

NJH you don’t have to do s***. Just dial in and spout off some diatribes on Boxy’s talking points. And if they’re lame we can troll Boxy, it’s perfect. I’m going to start assembling a sound board now.

It would probably be a good idea to start a new blog with a better title (same as the podcast). At the very least it would be a place to dump written content related to the podcast.

No to a blog. That was tried and flopped.

 

It only flopped because all the writers got hired

Yes, I'd assemble the talking points and whatnot. You guys can chip in if you want but I honestly just want people to talk. If you and Laika are on board I can have a 4 man panel with me, you two dolts and P2F. I think that would be pretty good. And, like you said, if my talking points suck just try to piss me off, I've been told I'm funny when I'm mad.
