I think this is a great idea! Something new people have mentioned in local meetups is that they are much more interested in learning via discussion, than by reading a massive volume of blog posts.
Perhaps the podcasts could alternate between an episode covering introductory review material, and an episode covering advanced material.
I would definitely be down with contributing to this, if no one better steps up.
...also, I noticed that I didn’t recognize your name. If you’re a new person, I most definitely recommend making an Introductory post, to let us know who you are. Welcome to LW!
I’d also contribute in some manner to this. Like (what I assume) most people, I don’t have the time to take the lead on something like this I would help in any of the following areas:
Technology. Getting the RSS working...whatever.
Moderation/hosting. I’ve not spent any time doing a podcast, but I do have a decent public speaking ability (funnily enough obtained by being raised in a religious organization that trains in that), and a good ability at helping others break their arguments and explanations down to a layperson’s level).
I’d certainly willing to help somehow, but my wording was careful on purpose—I haven’t yet gotten through all the sequences and don’t think I could contribute much to the discussion at this stage. But I’d like to help with organizing and making this work.
