Through the recent episodes, I've come to the conclusion that 5 is the optimal number of speakers. Any more causes problems, both with crosstalk, and with connection issues.
As far as who talks, I do have ideas as to the people who should be on the episode, however, none of what I have below is set in stone. If you're on there, and you don't feel like it, then let me know. On the list below, ???s mean that the position is vacant. I should also mirror this on the first post.
The first two slots are for myself and Max, because Max is a much better host than I, and myself because the recording program that I use (Pamela, linked up to Skype) requires monies to register and become practically usable for this sort of thing. If someone knows of another way to record VoIP like this in another program or something, then by all means, let me know, and we can try it out.
I've decided that schedules should be kept, so I'm starting a schedule of episodes on the only easy calendar thing I have: my iPod.
So far, I've penciled in the following:
22 Feb: Fighting Games Episode (Kayin, Aintaer, Rygaron)
8 Mar: Game QA Episode (Romosome, Brentai, ???)
15 Mar: VG Music Episode Part 1(???, ???, ???)
5 Apr: VG Music Episode Part 2 (???, ???, ???) -- Optimally, three different people
19 Apr: Tabletop Gaming Episode (???, ???, ???)
3 May: Console RPG Podcast (???, ???, ???)
Keep the suggestions coming! This is good stuff!
Still no word back from my SECRET GUEST, but I am still very hopeful. If I do get word back from him, then the schedule will shift around a bit.
