Wow willravel! Good job on the "example" podcast. I'm impressed.
My own thoughts on what the tfp podcast should be like:
As other have mentioned, there is no need for reading of news articles. These can be found elsewhere.
However reading a brief excerpt to set the context to a discussion would be fine. I really like the idea of getting a few of the board's member to discuss and debate some topic or other. Playing a recording of a skype chat sounds like a good way to do it. It would be interesting to see if people behave differently when talking live to a person rather than communicating through text. I wonder if people would find talking live to be more "real" and if they would be less likely to be impolite.
Original music is a great idea. Kind of an extension to Tilted Artwork/Tilted Literature/Tilted Photography for the musicians on the board.
Personally I think the intended audience for the podcast should be the current tfp community. Maybe when things get going we could consider aiming towards a wider audience.
