I think podcasts are probably a good idea, especially if game demos in audio can become part of the deal.

Re: [Audyssey] Audyssey format discussion -Re: Audyssey Magazine Now Online
Hi Valient, That may be, but I still don't think it should replace the magazine. A person can do more with the written word than with an hour or two hour long podcast. Plus the issue still remains where to store all those podcasts. It could take a lot of space not to mention require increase bandwidth costs to host any number of podcasts. So I'm not really sure it is practical unless we begin charging for that service, or begin taking donations for it.

Re: [Audyssey] Audyssey format discussion -Re: Audyssey Magazine Now Online
Hi Charles, It was my understanding that the podcast, assuming we did one, would be in addition to and not a replacement for the Audyssey Magazine. Like you I feel a magazine should be read and not listened to. Besides that it would get pretty darn expensive paying for extra hard drive space and bandwidth for a podcast compared to the price of a few MB to store the magazine. Big difference in cost there, and one I don't think certain members of our community fully appreciates. In any case I don't expect the magazine will be switching to a podcast for those and other practical reasons. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Audyssey format discussion -Re: Audyssey Magazine Now Online
One other problem with podcasts is that they're not considered 'real' by sites like wikipedia, wheras if it's written down and has an editor that checks articles, it can be used as a reference. I don't know that it's that important, but giving the magazine legitimacy like that may help get it out to more people.

Re: [Audyssey] Audyssey format discussion -Re: Audyssey Magazine Now Online
Hi Dennis, Good point. Wikipedia and a number of encyclopedia type sites like it will not accept quotes or references from podcasts which could be counter productive if we want to write an article on Wikipedia about audio games, accessible games, or refer someone like Popular Mechanics to back issues of the magazine for research. Its easier to research audio games if it is written down than it is to download dozens of podcasts and listen to them. Cheers!
