    Hmm... a different female moderator impersonated every week with the voice provided by one of monkeyfudge's nipples?

    I can see that working, yeah... :)

    Glad to see you're thinking outside the box!

    I think it's fair to say they won't...

    No need. My nipple has a comedy voice and can chat away as well.
    Ohh, which one? My left one sings show tunes.

    Ok, just noticed the link in the previous page about stats :)

    Here's my suggestions(probably already mentioned)

    A set length, how about 45-60mins

    Intro
    Who's on the boardscast, are they a mod, where do they hang out (more relevant if it's a guest.

    A quick run down of what's coming up in the boardscast

    Regular Sections
    • A review of any new forums, with information behind their approval, who the mods are, where to find it etc.
    • Quick focus on a random forum, where it is, typical content, what it's good for.
    • Around boards in 60 seconds, a quick review of what happened during the week, this can lead into a short discussion from the panel
    • Recent / Upcoming Boards Events
    • The top rated thread in Humour that week, optional voice impersonation of the poster
    • Music Showcase, either have someone play live, or grab a music clip from a band on boards, a bit of blurb about the band, upcoming gigs etc.
    • Maybe a quick update on boards stats once a month, how many new posters/threads etc.
    • Questions from boards members, a bit like the Agony Aunt/PI idea

    Idea's from The Scientist were good too!

    I think the whole is great, and there's a lot of feedback on this thread to put a little more structure.

    Some constructive feedback would be to explain a little more if a topic comes from a slightly clique forums like Thunderdome / AH / BGRH / Mods.

    Just to also get something moving on the awareness of the podcast, I think adding the podcast/mic icon to the homepage link would really help it standout.

    As well as asking Vexorg to allow some banner ads run across the website (I can design these, or open it to forum members)

    I knew there was something else I was to add.

    In the podcast thread/blog - include full links etc. to items discuss.

    e.g link to Dudess's post etc.

    I think it would help those listening to go and read up on what was being discussed.

    I was away last weekend and have been busy most weeknights.

    We should be recording one this weekend though.

    We've also taken on board a lot of the suggestions that have been made so hopefully the next one will be a good one.
