    Me, Dr Alligator, Sly, and Reginald.

    It’s styled after a radio show.

    A tad more info: We're planning it to be a bi-weekly, if possible, and we're giving you guys the chance to option topics you want raised. We're looking to make it between 30 minutes long at most.

    Uh, I really have no experience with podcasts. Do we need to pay to get them? Because I'm broke.

    Not usually.

    No Rand, most podcasts are free. (for instance, one of my favorites)

    Naw, I’d prefer not to ask you guys for money at any point. Although a hosting upgrade is going to be expensive, so I’d have to bring ads back. I’ll keep it classy.

  5.  

    You could put in a tip jar too Sly. Or charge non regulars to be on the show.

    Just wondering, is it possible that you'd be able to make transcripts of the podcast(s)?

    I know that for my computer (I can't speak for anyone else, though) it takes a while to load. I usually have to listen to it in 2 second bursts that take about 5 minutes just to load a full 30 seconds. It's quite annoying.

    I'd understand if you didn't have the time, though. I'm sure it'd take a while, and it might not be worth it for such a small group such as myself that have SUPER. OLD. COMPUTERS. */frustration*

    Surely Sly & Co will allow you to download the podcast so you can set it to save on your computer then listen it to it later at your leisure.

    Yeah, I think that’s reasonable. If we can’t get to it I bet we’d be able to find a helpful member willing to volunteer.
