Vinecast return in the near future?

Sun Aug 12, 2007 6:27 PM EDT
vinecast

Advertise | AdChoices

I've been thinking lately that I really want to see the vine cast return, whether I'm part of the organizing force or just a panelist, or whatever, and was wondering if anyone wanting to join in the fun and/or help in some way.

I'm willing to take on the brunt of the work (and potential cost) to put it together if that is what it takes, but of course panelists will be needed...and although I do consider myself pretty "fair", given that I'm probably not the most unbiased person when it comes to certain things, and definitely don't fit into the majority opinion on much of the news, at least some balancing force would be cool to give an even handed approach.

Any and all ideas are very very welcome, and while I'll be working on ways to do it with or without much help, all feedback and volunteers to be panelists or help some other way would be showered with gifts of praise and...um.....the joy of being part of the project and such :P

If I can't drum up enough support to pull the vinecast together after a couple weeks, I may just do another sort of newsvine related podcast under a different name...but I would love to get this back off the ground and keep it flying.

***UPDATES***

Looks like I finally have full control of www.thevinecast.com, and it even looks like I have a permanent co-host. The vinecast WILL be returning in the very very near future, with a set shedule and consistent episodes once a week once it starts. The lineup for guest hosts starts down in the comments, so if you are interested in taking part from time to time, let me know. There are some that already have and you'll be getting an email with details as soon as they are available or I have time to make them up ;)

And don't forget to hop over to www.thevinecast.com and subscribe to the feed...you won't regret it...at the very least listening to me try not to go insane if everything falls apart will be hilarious :)

I'd be interested in any NV podcast you put together. If you need help, email me. Though I won't guarantee I can be on every podcast.

No worries. If you have a mic, and an internet connection (I know you have at least one of those :P) then you can podcast. I'm sure you'll get right into it :D

Sure, I would be willing to help out as I can. I think there was a lot to be said for hearing 'viners talk and realizing that they are real people.

Sounds like a cool idea, something I'd love to do, but I am not exactly sure what it entails. Is it a political discussion made as a podcast?

Check out the original vinecast to see what it's all about. Basically a few viners getting together to discuss some news and other stuff from the vine, and hopefully not making it too boring :D. I'm partial to episode 5...but I think that's probably just cause it's the one I'm part of, and I got to talk about sex, drugs, and safe words....some of my favourite things! :P

I'd be interested in possibly participating as a panelist. Hosting it was definitely fun, but with schoolwork it'd be a little too much. But anyways, if you manage to pull something together do let me know.

Hey guys-- sadly, I won't be able to participate in any new Vinecasts, but you guys certainly have my blessing to do with it what you want. I think that Rukh knows the ins and outs well enough from when I ran in, and Andrew hosted one himself, so I think you guys could certainly bring the Vinecast back in its glory :)

Andrew hosted one himself

And did a really crappy job, which is why I'm not volunteering to host it now :-). Anyway, hope you'll star as a guest or something!

Rukh, hope on Skype sometime and I'll give you all the details... but yes, the domain is still active, I just renewed it a few months ago, and the FeedBurner feed is also still active, so picking it back up shouldn't be very difficult.

Rukh, one suggestion is to set a schedule that we can actually follow. The main problem before was that we really didn't have a set time (Dom was also kinda busy, so it wasn't really his fault). Maybe we could set something every other week or so.

Ok, newsvine doesn't seem to want to let me use the "contact this author" feature. So if you want details on the who/what/where/when/why of the vinecast, and/or want to take part as a panelist in the near future, then drop me an email (brad@zombiejesus.ca) or add me on skype (account: brad.leclerc). So a schedule can be worked up and things can move forward towards the fun and insanity :D

No you haven't! Work exploded a bit for me, and then I had to do some serious travelling, got back a few days ago. I'll send out an email to everyone I have on my list as interested/bribeable/etc and work out a time for some recording, and work out details without whoever can make it.

So if anyone who hasn't already let me know happens to want in on the fun, let me know very soon! :D

Don't have the schedule worked out yet, so I'm not sure when the first ep will go live, but unless the last time I actually have everything I need to get it going, so I can promise that it will be VERY soon, everything is in place but the actual recording, so I don't have any more excuses for delays ;)
