On Wednesday May 2, at 8pm EST I’m going try my hand at broadcasting live.
The show in a nutshell:
- A panel of 5 discusses 3 topics of interest
- These topics will be interesting to each panelist
- People can chat. People can tweet at us. We will try to respond
- The show will be uncensored (hide yo kids, hide yo wife)
- There is no set. We’ll be broadcasting from our bedrooms
Seriously, there's no set and I'll probably be wearing that.
When: Wednesday May 2, at 8pm EST
Where: Join us at http://www.justin.tv/conradmuan as we make a fool of ourselves.
Why?
I don’t watch any television at all. My media consumption consists mostly of YouTube subscriptions and Podcasts.
There are a couple of shows in particular that inspired me to try this little experiment: Twit.tv is where I get most of my tech news. Watching the GSL (Global Starcraft League) and the Day[9] Daily is where I get my e-Sports / competitive StarCraft II fix.
The cool thing about those shows are that they are live and engage their audience. Panelist in the Twit network interact with a live chat who give them feedback on what they’re talking about. Same thing for Day[9].
When a GSL Finals is broadcast, #GSL is usually an international trending topic on Twitter (hilariously at 4am EST).
Now, those of you who know me are aware of my experiments in content creation. I’ve run a blog or two, made a couple of lame videos here and there, but this will be my first attempt at a live show.
Wednesday’s show is a pilot. If it’s well received, I may do this weekly for a month. If that month of content is well received, I may do it for two and so on and so forth. We’ll see!
