Poptimist Podcast Plea

[jauntyalan.livejournal.com]

As suggested by tehNipXoR (below). If anyone did a "here are the hot new poptimist sounds" i would totally get this. it is easier for me to listen to a podcast than radio. in fact i DO listen to more podcasts than radio.

i reckon something like 40-60 seconds of songs banged together (i think they call it "mixed"???) inexpertly would more than satisdy me - perhaps with a "DJ voice over of the info" if you must (tho computer generated speaking would be fine) and we could put the info in the RSS feed proper anyway (which i know on my iPod you can read while listening)

I think FT could afford to publish the mp3 files and RSS feed needed.

***update***
sod it, if there are other people out there who would at least listen to a poptimist podcast, i am hereby volunteering to put it together. Given a load of mp3s from various sources it would take me mere mins to join em together and update an RSS feed on FT. This could be great - given an audience who wants it :-(

The thing that appeals to me about a podcast would be the ability to just set it up in the background so I could d/l automatically, without reading post and deciding if I'm interested, clicking. But just another source of music alone isn't so interesting.

To jump ahead to the orgness: Maybe the feed could be published on a Friday, but the LJ thread/post started on Monday to chat about it? Because nobody scrolls down, y'know.

it's all about the "automatic" thing. set it up and collect it.

i think once a week would be probably perfect, i take yr point about a weekend to chew on, and it's nice to have a treat on a friday, but what about mid-week? this could improve a crap thursday or something?

thursdays, usually being so close to fridays, are rarely 'crap' for me :)

my initial thought was maybe publish feed on monday, thread on friday. i guess if you're going to take charge of publishing, the question should be what is likely to be most convenient for you.
