New podcast idea, RAR Modelcast

 RAR Modelcast

I have been kicking around an idea for a couple of weeks now, and I think I have it mostly worked out. To combine two things I like, photography and podcasting. If you haven't heard of podcasting that doesn't surprise me too much. Podcasting is kind of like an internet radio or television show. But instead of going out over a cable or network like radio or tv, it is online. You can down load the episodes and watch them when ever or where ever you choose.

My idea is basically to have photographers, models, studios, MUA's, wardrobe designers spotlighted on each episode. It could be interviews like on a radio show or it can be video. Video does make more sense but there are some bandwidth issues involved with large video files and hosting. But the idea is there.

Is this a good idea?
Is it a bad idea?
Would this be something you might be interested participating in?

I have a basic frame work for the episode worked out.

1- Introduction of the show, quick explanation of what the show is about, and hopefully (eventually) a sponsor.

2- Introduction of the guest for the episode.
    Background, why/when/how questions
    Best/worst experience
    Dream project (location, person to work with, etc.)

3- Watch person working and/or show examples of their work.

4- Give contact information of guest, web sites, etc.


To be honest, the first few might not be released right away. While I am familiar with how to do this, usually the first five or so are not so good, and will likely be held back until the show gains some traction in popularity (hopefully). But I do think this is a great opportunity for people in the industry as another avenue to get their name out and get exposure.

The show can also be an introduction to modeling. Produce a series of episodes of "How to's", "How to get into modeling, photography, MUA, etc.."

There are many possibilities for this show, and suggestions, critiques and tips are always appreciated. But most of all if you are interested in participating, I want to hear from you!
