Let's aim for 1/2 an hour to an hour. (Wikipedia Weekly will sometimes be 1.5 hours, but that seems too long; a bit more editing can make the discussion go faster.) |
Format
Let's try to record a monthly round-table podcast that discusses Python-related events and news.
The Wikipedia Weekly podcast is a good model for us. Try listening to episode 80 or 81, which are daily wrap-ups from the Wikimania 2009 conference, or episode 78, which is a Skype-recorded episode.

Scheduling time
AMK is available weekends (pretty much any time), and weeknights 7PM-10PM US Eastern (23:00-2:00 UTC).
Technical
Wikipedia Weekly seems to record the audio from one single participant. This means that the audio quality for a remote speaker will occasionally become bad or they'll drop out. It would be better, though more effort, if *everyone* recorded their audio and sent to it to an editor. That way everyone is represented by a high-quality local recording.
