I think this would be a great idea and would help showcase what people in the community are up to, and also showcase the community to the world at large and bring more exposure to coworking. Additionally, building a back-catalog of radio shows about the coworking community would give the movement more credit and momentum.
I wonder about the logistics - A weekly show is almost certainly too often to maintain, and a monthly may not be often enough to keep momentum. Could a bi-weekly show work? Maybe monthly is the way to go. Logistically, it shouldnt be too hard to find people to interview and talk about. Just brainstorming here, the show could cover the following topics: (for this list i'm assuming a monthly show) - Whats new in coworking, culled from the coworking google group for the past month - The buzz, whats being said on Twitter about coworking in the past month - The movement, whats going on at the regional/state/federal level in terms of new developments in coworking foundations and efforts - New spaces, what new space founders are up to. Also hilight any spaces that are closing. - Featured member, identify someone who is Up To Something who uses a coworking space to do it. Talk about what they're up to or interview them - Tools, technnology, tips, tricks: What Works for space owners who are managing/running a space - Interview. Interview a space owner or coworking advocate So, I think there's enough content to do a show. Looking at this after writing it, I'm starting to think monthly would be good. I'm willing to co-host an effort like this if we can record it on a weekend, preferably Saturday morning or Afternoon, but Sunday would work for me too. As a previous poster said, recording podcasts is a breeze with all the technology out there. -Jonathan On Feb 2, 12:04 pm, Mike Pihlman <m...@telbitconsulting.com> wrote: > Remote locations are hardly a barrier.
