I (Eric Sherman), have decided to create a well produced and interesting podcast that tells stories about civic technology, as a movement and as a description for how people use technology to engage with other people.
Check out the Pilot Episode: #1 Pissed-Off Optimists
Areas of strength that I would be able to contribute to: planning/producing, recording and editing the audio for the podcast.
Do you happen to have experience interviewing people? Are you comfortable on a microphone, charismatic, or in possession of a voice that makes people think you are?
I'm very open to the idea of having either a co-host or someone else host the podcast entirely. I may even have no host, depending on how the content is edited together.
- Marketing
- Branding
- Publishing
Things I absolutely want input from those more 'in the know': best ways to structure the podcast, developing a better idea of the potential audience, awareness of where the content might best fit with content already generated by Chi Hack Night and the civic tech community at large.
Have an idea for a great name for the podcast?
Content for an episode?
Answers to questions about positioning and branding?
Please feel free to submit an issue. I want the production process and brain-storming to be as bottom-up and transparent as possible. After all, this is a podcast about civic tech, it can itself serve as an example of civic tech.
