Hey Mike,
This is pretty much a flame. Don't take it personally, I don't even
know who you are. Your email though brings up what I think is a
really important point that I didn't want to let slide.
Personally, I think that quote above tells me your looking at this
whole thing as a means to make a buck. In my opinion this dooms you
to a life of producing complete and utter bullshit. Listen, if your
stuff hit the right demographic and was bland enough you'd be on the
radio or TV already. Since it's not, you must be looking to be a low
budget imitation of bland, mindless crap. That doesn't seem like a
very good business plan.
Here's my suggestion: you and your colleague should go get yourselves
on the radio or TV if that's what you want. If, on the other hand,
what you really want is to podcast or videoblog, I have a few places
to start: 1. Brainstorm some good ideas about content and forget
about good ideas for underwriting. 2. Better yet, fuck
brainstorming, if you're creative you probably have some stuff you're
just dying to do - do that instead. 3. Quit lurking around and just
get started. Then get better at it.
Peace
