Back in January a couple buddies and I were talking about launching a sports podcast where the three of us would basically sit down together and record an X-mins long session discussing teams, players, news, etc having to do with our favorite sports teams.
That fell apart pretty quick because COVID set in about 4-6 weeks later, baseball shutdown about halfway through spring training, the NBA went on hiatus and football... well they weren't affected much but it was the offseason so there wasn't much to say then anyway.
Here we are in October and I got on the subject of podcasts again with my sister. I thought maybe I'd take a different tack, and am considering doing a podcast that evaluates media from a Catholic perspective. I don't necessarily want to be just purely critical, but maybe also discuss what's working and what isn't, discuss what's new, maybe talk about some of the major players on the scene at any given time, etc. Maybe sometimes I just take a backseat and facilitate a discussion between other individuals.
As far as formatting I think I'd just approach it the way Taylor Marshall and Tim Gordon produce theirs, I think they just record Skype sessions with their guests and then upload them to YouTube. It's cheap and accessible.
What do you guys think? Does that kind of content sound appealing or do you think it'd get old pretty quick?
Also, are there any Catholics here on OBOB who might want to join me as a guest? Folks on here have a lot to offer, it might be cool to get into some meatier discussion beyond the exchange of the forum (just a thought).
It'd be just a trial run at first but if it seems like it can hold it's own then maybe I'll keep it going!
