My senior capstone I was hoping to do the podcast. I have been thinking more about what my nitch is and why people would listen to it. I want to record using garage band a podcast with people from St. George. I want a 30-40 min music intro of who the guest will be, then the guest and I will talk about a story they have to share. This story is key because it is my nitch I believe. Assuming I find the right people who are good story tellers and have a story to tell. I want them to share their story with a little help from me much like a Conan o Brian. This would last 10-20 minutes. The. Guest exits with some music. Then I talk about the story. Let's say I bring you onto the podcast and you share your story of what happened on you on your mission. Or things that have happened in your life that have changed the course of your life (good or bad). Once you leave I want to sort of have this motivational podcast where people can listen to on there way to work or wherever. I will relate every guests story's to the general public. Almost like a horoscope of sorts. Telling people what others are going through or have gone through and how this may help that one person who doesn't want to wake up early for class. Or get their kids lunches ready at 5am to keep going on. I believe this is what communication is all about. Taking a stranger and communicating with him or her using things like social penetration theory to get to the story. I could even throw some communication theory's into the podcast! Also say I record a podcast on Monday. I open it up to fan questions at the end of the podcast. But the guest is already gone. I have all week to collect fan questions on the website,blog,Twitter. Then since the guest that last Monday is from St. George I have access to them through email or face to face. And ask them the fan questions. So the following Monday I can do a fan questions section and answer a few questions. This will give listeners incentive to come back. Also for them to go to my web page and blog.
I should be able to upload this to iTunes and I can direct people from my blog and website to download from there onto their listening devices.
Also I am just waiting to hit buy on Amazon for a microphone to see if you think this idea will work. Already have garage band, and my website should be 6$ a month.
Thoughts? Thank you for helping me
