Id like to get some comedy segments too! Anything goofy, funny or strange you guys can come up with. Even your own mini radio shows, comedy skits and prank phone calls! Id like to see something like "MC Thor - Eden Girls Party Harder". Also something for the beginning of the show that has general community discussion about things that have happened, what people have said, rumors, some general banter, etc. which may take the place of my OPU Community Discussion segment idea.
I also welcome the community to come up with "transitions" or mini (5-15 second) commercials to play periodically between songs and show segments. They can be anything you like as long as they are short and refer to OPU or the radio show and arent boring! Make something fun, cool or funny and send it to me!
The show will be broken up by music at the beginning, middle and end. If a segment runs long some music will come on to break things up and keep the show from getting tedious. Music may play ever couple of segments depending upon their length and community feedback. I may also make one of the three main music breaks (the beginning, middle or end) an extended music segment where I play requests.
I also have a theme for the show of being a general gaming community show but with a dedication and focus on OPU. If and when OPU grows into a larger site encompassing new games, it would be wise to include information other than just what out little portion is doing and doing the show like this may help our growth along. Take that into mind when making contributions, suggestions or show ideas; it doesnt have to be just about OPU - it can be about anything gaming or tech related.
Remember that Outpost Radio will not be "live" it will be a podcast that is accessed via RSS feed and may be downloaded to your computer, MP3 device or even streamed to your favorite media player. I also hear that services like satellite radio allow you to search for and stream RSS-fed podcasts. To listen to the newest episode, simply subscribe to the Outpost Radio RSS feed using your favorite RSS aggregator or browser. Past episodes should show up in a play list depending on the application youre using. You can also browse directly to the latest episode by pasting the RSS url into your browser.
Please make your suggestions!
