Higher Learning Podcast #6, Sunday (8/19) 7PM EST.

and the reasons the topics dry up so quick is because we are not strategic enough when we discuss things. realistically the difference between us and a successful, profitable radio show with dedicated listeners is that the former puts in more work prior to the show.

topics should be picked way in advance.

specific questions in relation to the topic should be talked about and laid out way in advance to guide the discussion.

ideally we as participants should be researching the chosen topics beforehand and coming prepared with our information

formats and segments should also be put in place to help the facilitation of the information.




bottom line if we want to be better then we have to put more collective effort into the podcast, thats it.

right now we're half-assing it, so we have a half-assed podcast... input=output all day long

and the funny thing is, even tho we're half-assing it we are still putting out better shyt than 75% of the competition imo.

btw tmrw is wednesday lets stop waiting til the last minute to do everything

Not by you. I agree with your sentiment.

you dudes are awful in preparation and the technical side. You need to pick who are the TWO people locked in to do this show. Those two people need to always be on and coordinate on THEIR schedule. Whoever wants to participate should plan accordingly to the shows designated time.

i think zero, vic, and myself are committed to being "locked in" for the show. hiphop is still in the circle but he drops off the map sometimes. 88m3 shows up on a consistent basis too.

but i agree i think we have a lot of indians and no chief right now, so a lot of shyt is disorganized... so either one person needs to take the lead in managing and coordinating the podcast, or we need to do it as a group. i vote we do it as a group.

but either way we gotta start putting more effort and prep time in.

The thing is, I don't know if I'm allowed to give input, am I?

I can certainly help with planning it all out in coming weeks and newark's the homie so I'm sure I can talk to him for pointers. But it's your baby, so I'll be involved as much as you guys want me to be.

I dont think anyone would be opposed to you taking on the role of the show's admin if you do a good job + show up

Thats really all thats needed

As far as sound quality we might have to do a little sound check before the show starts... and have a "mute if youre not talking" policy. Thats all you can really do

Well, I won't be talking. But I can help administrate the whole thing. The problem with that is Sunday Night is when these things usually happen and I'm not particularly keen on Sunday Nights. I mean think about it guys, when the NFL starts, do you think people will be tuning into a Sunday Night podcast? That's what I've said from day one. The show's biggest weakness the fact that it's at a time where people are preparing for the work week or are watching HBO blockbusters. For all the disorganization, you guys put on a good show. The show should probably try to fill a void and a time during the week where there isn't as much going on. Further, I think being so late (or early depending on how you look at it) in the week is why things don't get done promptly. People have this, "we'll figure it out on Friday" mentality.

But I'm talking about in the future, I'm not reliable to this stuff this month. I've been posting from cell phone all week.

i vote we do it as a group.

Nah breh that sh*t never works. Anyone who follows politics should know this. The only way to get sh*t done is to have one designated a$$hole leader, who primarily has everyone's best interest at heart or self (cheney), otherwise this'll turn into some non-bipartisanship congress where nothing but bickering gets done.....

imo i think youre down by law as mod of the forum in which we operate.

now that doesnt mean you take all the reigns and start ordering people around like mr. burns, but i definitely think you should be present for the planning meetings, and also use your resources as mod to help us with the technology and 'marketing' aspect

i agree with this. but vic is a valued member of the inner podcast circle and his schedule is tight during the week, so weekends work best. but weekend doesnt necessarily have to equate to sunday at 9pm because you're right, when NFL season kicks up into full gear, sunday at 9pm is NOT going to work

i think we can organize this in a number of ways and still be successful.

but one model i know for sure wont work, is the model where the one a$$hole tells everybody what to do

 

[zerozero]

so to get into specifics, what are the ways we can shake up the topics this week?

like on economics, we get the general idea of what most of us think.. how can we attack it differently?

we can touch on the pres race in the regular way

what else is going on or what do people wanna touch on?

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

For topics I think questions are good

Like for the economy I think a simple open ended question could be "where do we go from here"

Some people might wanna zig, some people might wanna zag, the differences in opinion will help generate dialogue
