I think it's clear that HPR needs a couple of regular shows -- that is, tech podcasts released through HPR instead of on the producer's own on a regular basis. I, personally, don't feel qualified to produce a tech-based program, and I don't have a buttload of time, anyway, but I'd be willing to get together on Mumble or something with anyone who would like to brainstorm ideas for regular podcasts to be released through the HPR label. A few ideas off the top of my head:
1.) Science and Technology in Film and Television -- the host(s) pick a different movie or show each episode, and then talk/complain about what the producers of said film or show got right, and what they got wrong -- and maybe what Hollywood ALWAYS gets wrong. 2.) Makerspace Update -- Someone with a local maker movement does regular interviews with the people working there. It could even be interviews with the same people over and over, because we would get to hear about their progress, and become invested in their projects. I, personally, do not have a Makerspace near me that I know of, but a lot of people seem to these days. 3.) An A-toZ project of some kind, by someone who narrates every step along the way (for example, "I'm building a computer. I've purchased THIS case, for THIS reason; I've purchased THIS power supply for THIS reason. Now, the power supply doesn't seem to fit. I'll have to drill out some new screw holes. Okay, now I've drilled the holes,and the power supply fits in with some fiddling. Next episode, I'll be putting in the motherboard and the graphics card..." These are just idle ideas, of course. If anybody is interested in talking about taking on a regular commitment like this, I'd be willing to as well.
