Should we do a regular podcast?

Just about to go to sleep – but wanted to throw out something I have been pondering on. Should we as a team create a regular weekly podcast?

The facts are:

• As a team we screencast, blog, do events etc
• As a team we do not podcast
• I work with some very smart .NET devs who can be very articulate in talking about .NET development over a beer
• Podcasts if they are done well are great for folks like me who commute long distances
• Podcasts can easily be bad, very bad
• There are very few UK .NET podcasters (At least I know of very few)

Should we give it a go? With a nice unique UK feel :-)

  Yes, absolutely! Keep it short and focused (I like .Net Rocks but the 10 minutes of waffle at the beginning is annoying). Also, don't be afraid to go deep - many podcasts don't because they fear they will lose their audience without pictures. We can follow along - go on, give it a try.

  Yes. Something to listen to while Visual Studio is closing down!

  Thanks guys - I'm thinking a "content heavy", short 20 to 30min podcast where 2 of us chat/interview each other about the latest technologies and what we think about them - the good, the bad, where we think they fit etc. So (for Joel!) a little longer than VS closing down :-) Pilot this format and then tweak based on feedback.

  Eric, I think this is a great idea - I listen to a number of .NET podcasts, but sometimes find the US-centric nature of them a bit grating sometimes... I'd like it to include a mix of both existing and emerging technologies, if possible.
