Nah. I'd leave that up to you. You write a script and then have some cool person read it out loud.

I can just imagine the covering of Roman sports in that fashion.......it would be truly hilarious, speaking of which the Nika riots would be interesting to cover. Regards, Praetor.

Hhhaha - with you all the way! Great - "Well Koit, I'm standing here on the plains of Ipsus... and I can just see the antigonid phalanx moving into position and yes! Here come the Ptolemaic, Lyscahmid, Selecuid and Macedonian scounting forces - well this is going to be one heated battle between these superpowers -javelin whirls past - yes as we can see journalistic standards and ethic weren't that highly developed in 301BC"
Okay so now for ideas we've got -
>total quiz questions
>Historical events from the first person

Sometimes I think were all these ideas come from. And then I understand - we, who have gathered here, are simply the best. |
haha nice compliment but obviously a BBC team and the cream of the world's historian community could do a wee bit better! LOL!

I mentioned something similar (kind of) on AE a long time ago. It was a news program that relayed historic events as if it was on the Eye witness news... This would not only be fun to research and do (for our own benefit) but it would perk the interests of the GP.
Imagine covering a historic battle as it is unfolding, or describing a horrific plague in real time (with cited sources of course).
Just a thought..

Well we could always do what I've heard on a lot of games and just put music on what we think sounds like the culture of the time

I think that period music would be good in theory. But think about some areas of history...namely ancient history where we don't have any. A theme tune for the Akkadian empire, Dynastic Egypt, the Diadochi, the cyclaidic culture? I like that idea for interviews, but if we don't do it carefully enough it could seem like we are being pretentious.

Yes, I was referring to you Alex. I saw your both before as the one just before mine so I used 'you'. Something has changed though... It's no longer there...

If possible when having music it would be cool to have sort of 'period' music to fit the theme and I'm all up for picking a certain place in time and basing each podcast on that era.
as for another suggestion we should try and do an interview with someone(s) on the topic, I'm not sure how you would do it but there is probably a program that would allow you to record voice conversations.

So, what is the tone of the podcast going to be like? Casual? Serious? Eager? Peppered with trivia? Dramatic? I rather have quality over quantity.
