The Official AE Podcast Scripts' Writing Topic

Right - let's try and get this interesting project going somewhere. Unfortunately I'm not so hot on the technologically based side of this project but I was thinking that we could just host some space somewhere (I know loads of free hosting sites) - people write a script for a programme that they want to do, put it in the hosting space and after we've got enough, someone who actually knows how to stich together sounds files and tidy them up can put all the soundfiles into a podcast. I'm not exactly sure how to proceed with this, but let's brainstorm and do the best we can - one podcast a month along with the magazine would be quite interesting...

We can pepper the broadcast with old AE total quiz questions

AllEmpires BBC-style informatives?

Good idea - let's not go down the old "battles and empires" style that so many magazines these days have reverted to. Anyway, how do you think we should begin each episode? Music, some kind of theme?

Yes. It would be nice. And we we could manage, then each topic could have several views (religion and buildings in the same mag for example) if we manage, that is.

I'm not frightened of that with you and Aster here...

So the podcast is making some progress, thats good.  I'll be interested to see how this develops. 

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.

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.

That would be...
