Podcast update
Added 2018-01-31 17:13:37 +0000 UTCHi guys, Evan here! So a little known thing about me is that a little bit ago I started suffering from benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, which is basically where I get dizzy every now and then but to a degree that it's hard to move around and do stuff. Today is one of those days, so instead of going into work or working on a video we're going to try and make some progress on the podcast wooo!! Here is basically how far we've gotten:
Potential structure
- Intro music
- Introduce what the episode is gonna cover
- Hello and what we've been up to
- Topic/questions
- Game/other special segments (see below)
- Cool things this week
- Wrap up/thank you/plugs
- Outro music
Other segment ideas
- Learn something new/fun fact/tidbit: some kind of interesting fact or tidbit or tip we picked up that week. IE how YouTube tags your video with demonetization codes or how corian is sandable
- New toys: we talk about some new tool or product we got
- Game idea - EKhashtag: some kinda of interactive game we use a hashtag for. Like rename a Christmas song/Christmas lyrics using maker terms and we will read them. People would submit the song, IE βOh Christmas Treeβ and we would come up with something on the spot, IE "Oh table saw oh table saw, why must you be so rickety."
- Game idea - E vs K: like a couple's game type thing (what is the other person's least favorite thing to do in the shop)
- Going out in the field: hunting for the right piece of wood or going out to test something we built
- βListsβ: top five most satisfying maker videos right now, top 3 tools for attaching things, top 10 fave materials
- Hot topic: something kinda controversial (sponsorship, etc)
Oh wait, are you a newer Patron that didn't know we really want to make a podcast? Here's a preview of a really early attempt we posted here months ago!

Our general idea is to make a podcast that is a little more edited and structured than most the maker podcasts out there, but also spontaneous. I think that the list above is enough of a structure to start working on the outlines of actual episodes so we'll see how far we get today!
If you have any ideas for segments or the structure please let us know!

Thanks! And thankfully my vertigo goes a while between episodes and I mostly know what motion triggers it. Knowing it's something I'll have to deal with going forward was weird but thankfully the human mind seems to be pretty good at adjusting and continuing forward so that's what I'll do πͺπ

2018-02-01 03:40:15 +0000 UTCThank you for the feedback! Yeah I think it will continue to evolve even after (well, especially after) we record a few episodes. Haha our secret society would just be a society of weirdos to the outside world!!! ...which we are totally cool with ππ Yeah vertigo is scary, it can put you totally out of commission for a long time π -K

2018-02-01 03:36:51 +0000 UTCI think you are on the right track. I think it will evolve as you get closer to a launch. I appreciate you asking us for the feedback, I will enjoy this journey. I like E&K hashtag idea, something that your listener will know and understand, but wonβt make sense to anybody else. Like a secret E&K society. HA HA HA.... :) Just be safe with vertigo, that could get you seriously hurt. Nobody wants that.
