How did you read my mind? I've thought of most of these things and thought I was completely crazy dreaming.
I absolutely want to interview people, dig their brains, hear their stories, etc.! This reminds me of how I used to go to my profs office hours because I just loved hearing them talk passionately about their subjects.
A question, livestream of what?
- bckr 5y agoDig into intellectual / political Twitch. One guy I've paid attention to is Hal Sparks, a comedian/TV personality turned webby political analyst. He just reads a bunch of stuff and then does a livestream talking about current events and connecting them with what he's read (plus jokes). There's also a lot of reacting to YouTubers' video essays and the news. Bullet points for livestreaming subject matter: * Reacting to the news. * Reacting to YouTubers / web content. * Q&A sessions (this is key--the strength of livestreaming is audience interactivity, and that audience will be fiercely loyal). * Spitballing -- You can give a rough version of a presentation you might give in a video. * Live writing / creating -- This sounds crazy, but people actually watch people write code, create music etc. Additional considerations: * Create a ritual that people show up for. Livestreaming and video audiences love rhythm. * You don't have to be that entertaining -- people often turn to Twitch/YouTube to fill a similar need in their life that they use podcasts for -- background noise / a distraction where they can feel like they're in the room with a public figure / community.
