I've got a new idea for a segment for the podcast. I want to do a short segment on the various fans of Trek, Star Wars, Sci-Fi, collectibles, etc. I want to try do a short Skype interview with a new fan each week where they get to tell the world about what they love about (insert subject), what got them into it in the first place, how active they are in the subject, etc. I guess these would be about 5 minutes long give or take. I think it's worthwhile to show the world a bit more of fans other than yours truly that love this type of subject. I'd most likely record these on Saturday to include on the Sunday shows. What do you all think of the idea? :phone
Great idea! Sign me up!

Consider yourself on the list. :)
I'd be up for talking about SG1. ;)
Hey, neat idea
Yeah, put me down for Alien or Blade Runner or any and all Trek as I've seen them all multiple times. Or maybe a little prequel action? TPM, AOTC, ROTS? Anyone? Bueller?
Hey Rico.. love this idea.. of course you can count on me.
Sounds like fun though I might commit some fan blasphemy on the air.
That's a great idea Rico. I can't wait to hear what everyone has to say. I still need to get myself a headset and look into getting Skype...I feel like I'm missing out! :)
Looking for the first volunteer for this. Hoping to record something via Skype this coming Saturday (9/7) and include it on the podcast on Sunday. Should only take maybe 15 minutes or so of your time. Thinking sometime around noonish eastern time this Saturday - but that's very flexible. Can even do it in the evening if that's easier. Post here or shoot me an email or PM if you can do this.
Anyone up for doing a little recording today for the first segment on this? Shoot me an email or PM. This afternoon or evening will work for me on Skype.
I'm going to try to see if I can set up Skype on this computer...I'll let you know later today if I get it working, Rico
Let me know Joby. I got your voicemail too and will probably use it on tomorrow's podcast.
Now that I have my logitech headset I can re-record it and send you a wav file if that is easier or of better quality than the voicemail...this is going to be fun I think!
I just listened to the Voyager podcast with the new fan focus segment.. great job guys. Can't wait for my turn.
I'm going to rig up a much better way to record my Skype calls before the next go round. It will sound much better and more volume balanced next time.
QuoteIt will sound much better and more volume balanced next time.
Maybe for the next one you could get one of these forum members with something interesting to talk about. I was worried I was going to sound like a douche but I guess it wasn't too bad. I was glad to help out for the inaugrial segment, Rico.
Hey Joby... you sounded fine. It's cool getting to know other forum members. Can't wait for the next fan focus.
It's funny Joby's voice is very close to another friend of mine who lives in California but is from the Midwest originally. I swore I was talking to him at first! Still ironing out the bugs on this but I think it will be a great feature for the show as time goes on. It's always interesting to talk with other fans.
Sign me up, Rico.
I'd be up for talking about Atlantis, Trek, and some fantasy stuff...
I have a rather unique perspective on Trek, especially characters from both TOS and TNG, and why I like certain characters more than others.
