I have decided that this is something that is needed, and I am going to try and make one myself.
My vision:
A weekly podcast that comes out at a regular time EVERY WEEK. I am thinking about aiming for recording in late afternoon on Thursdays and putting it online on Thursday nights, so that it will be relevant for people's Friday drive to work and also for the weekend. But I'm not set on any particular time, just that I want to be able to put out a show at exactly the same time every week.
aiming for 25-40 min podcast
Content:
35% Topics of the day. Sort of giving the Austo-libertarian take on the kinds of things that are being talked about in the MSM
25% Important topics/news that is largely ignored by the MSM
15 % General trends that aren't exactly 'news' (i.e. gang violence, the environment, education, etc.)
15% Economic and political theory/ how would x work in anarchy
10% recommended further reading/ book club (i.e. assign 'homework' to the listeners and then discuss the pages read that week)
EDIT: the aim is also to be able to appeal to new comers as well as as be interesting enough to keep the ear of people who are already familiar with the basics. Sort of like if we are covering a book that is sort of a beginner level, then that week have the theory aspect be a higher level subject or vice versa.
Talent:
I am thinking a 3 man crew, with the occasional guest, one of them being myself as the host, unless I find a better host, one person with more of a 'real world' background either in business or politics (not necessarily involved in high up or anything, but someone who reads a lot about the day to day political or business goings on, and then the third would be more of an academic, theoretical type.
I am going to be busy in the next month, moving to New Hampshire, and then I will have to read up on how to do the technical side of it, and then buy the necessary equipment (I would really only want to do it if the recording would be of high-very high quality audio).
