In my many years of being a spammer in these fine halls of FKL, I have seen quite a few different ways to approach the FKL way of life. But I think there is one frontier that we have yet to conquer, the Podcast. Here is what I am suggesting.
I want to gather a few FKLers together in a Skype chatroom, and record a 15 minute conversation about FKL lore, or new topics or even us trying to do things like the poetry thread, in audio form. I think this could be kind of entertaining and would certainly be a conversation piece if it ever came up on a random playlist on iTunes.
One thing that will be tricky is giving everyone a chance to be on the show, which shall be hosted by myself and a panel of say, 3 more FKLites each episode. These 3 others will be exchanged each episode to keep things fresh. It will be a mixture of "Whos Line is it Anyway?" and the podcast "You Look Nice Today". But I think if we work at it, we can get some times set up to record an episode a week.
What do you think, FKL? Are you up for this?

About the Show
The show's format is probably going to change based on what gets recorded and who is there. Some may be more chopped up and sketch like, while others may be FKL history and culture lessons and may be set up to play without music breaks.
How do I get in?
Simple! The Podcast will release an episode a week. The podcast will have 2 to 3 guests with myself as host. The time for recording is not on a solid schedule, to accomodate for those who live on the further edges of the landfill than others. The recording time will be set by the group of guests and myself. The guests will come on a volunteer basis, and those who were not on the episode before the episode being volunteered for will be given first dibs on slots. Simply post in the topic mentioning that you are interested in joining for the next episode, and the details will be worked out from there!
You will also need to use the program Skype and a microphone. The program Skype is free for Skype-to-Skype conversations, so the only thing you may need to aquire is a microphone. Once you have a skype account and the program installed, you will be ready to go.
Add CheesecakeRecipe to your friendslist on skype, that's me. I may create a list of other FKLites' skype names if they OK it with me.
Though, I suppose you'll have to wait 'till tomorrow for more responses.

Fuck no, let's just keep posting youtubes and making feeble attempts at fads.
Another reason to get a microphone

I keep saying I have no microphone, but this is a lie.
However: For some reason recording on this computer does not work for fuck and there is always massive static. Also, I don't want people hearing my voice.

I don't really care if anyone hears my voice, sounds like every other 16 year old male. -_-
Shlig's the only one who's heard my voice, IIRC.

I'm not a 16 year old male, though.
