SUGGESTION: To combat people flaking, lets reduce the workload and separate the research from the presentations. Whoever is going to be in front of the camera will have to work on his swag,charisma and delivery,etc. For each segment someone else should do the research and write the material, have it vetted and then present it to the presenter for presentation to the audience. We can have Writer-presenter teams for each segment or topic. Both writer and presenter have to comfortable with the material and passionate about the subject matter to a degree.
Coming up with material is going to be easy for a lot of topics. The material is right here on thecoli already. And i suggest all writers start research from within already started thecoli threads. Take that ''gems when dealing with women thread'' all the material is there for a great segment that will resonate with just about everybody on some level. Its now Just a matter of condensing it to sub sections and bullet points before handing it off to a charismatic host to sprinkle in jokes,personal stories and some celebrity chatty patty examples to prove points raised.
