Want to become a DJ and have a live show/podcast on Elements Radio?

[Azumi]

I would love to do this! I really would prefer duo radio shows but I can do solos as well I guess

Just a warning: I will probably say "lulz I'm on the radio" just once

[Scaredgirl]

Yeah I was really surprised to see there were radio plans here. Just consider the typical local radio/tv channel. They have a whole building, and still it's mostly a few news pages that keep repeating. Maybe later in the day there'll be a few short programs.

How do you get content, and is there any need for it? We all have our channel for our fav. music, so why compete with that. You can just start with a small, weekly show, say around 20 mins. Multiple people can make it, but there'd be one editor. It would be a bit like all those poker programs you see, except about elements. Record it, be it video or audio only, and put it online somewhere. Post the link here and everybody is happy.

Our chat already has an audio player. What we could do is to have that player point to our weekly radio program so that when a person enter the chat room he/she can listen to the program. Another option is to listen to it directly from Elements Radio website, or listen to it as a podcast.

As for the program itself, I would like it to be mostly talk radio, with maybe one song between different segments. Everyone has different tastes in music so it might be difficult to find something that everyone likes, but Elements is what we all like so that's where we should concentrate on.

There could be segments like..

General news
New cards
New decks
Events
etc.

I also think that there should be a different (or same) guest every week. This would make the radio sound more like real a radio. This one-on-one discussion is easy to setup using Skype or whatever.

Now that is interesting.  I thought it was music-focused, but this new news interests me.

I propose a brief weekly roundup segment. Things it might include

-Announcements
   - Any updates to the game? (new cards, new versions, new fixes etc)
   - Announcements from the forum announcement section
   - Announcement worthy items from Wiki page
   - Current forum competitions
   - Cards that have been voted to the Forge (and or armory)
   - Forum / Wiki positions

- Tourny round up - Last week's rules and the winners

- Forum Competition winners / outcomes

- Other special event roundups, (war, team pvp etc)

All done succinctly and professionally like the BBC world new round up type of thing. 5 minutes or maybe 8 minutes max.


PS I will volunteer to do this if people want. (there may be others who are more qualified or better...)

This, I like it.  I have never thought about including the tournament/competition rules/results.

As for who should do it, I am considering making a sort of test chatcast and seeing how everyone likes or dislikes it, or if I made any pronunciation errors, which will happen.

[Dragoon1140]

Alright everybody, I have decided to pick this massive project up.     I've been on the fence for a long while, but I figured I had some extra time to contribute more.

I cannot do this alone, however, so I need everybody's help to figure the show's layout.  What type of music should I play?  How often?  Who should I interview, if we do that?  How would we communicate, Skype?  Not only that, but I also need a patient chat when I start asking how to pronounce everybody's name, since I will mispronounce something, I'm sure.

We already have a rough layout right now, but let's refine it.  Please and thank you!

PS:  Does everybody wish for me to do this anyway?  It's okay if you don't want me to.

Hey, I remember talking about this in chat. I'm definitly for someone, anyone, doing the radio thing so I can see what it would be like. It would be cute, at least. Since Dragoon seems most active about this, I'm definitly for him doing this.

[wizelsnarf]

I want what I posted before done. Something short and sweet that will save me an hour of forum browsing.

Definitely would listen to it if you produce it. I can help a little if you need it but I basically already said what I thought would be good.

If you wanted to have a short weekly interview (as you just mentioned) that would be cool too. But not too long, 5 minutes or 10 minutes max.

Let me know if I can help some way...

Links to some awesome free music songs would be amazing of you.

Is music on newgrounds free to use for your programmes?
If not, I'm sure you could negotiate with the less known artists in exchange for playing their songs to everyone, and announcing their names a few times in the show, and maybe giving a link on where to find their music depending on how pushy they are.

There should be "War Wednesdays" and the DJ talks about what happened in war that week.

EDIT: Never mind, make it the day that the round is over so it makes sense. It won't be an alliteration though

I plan to record Thursdays, so I believe that is the tail-end of the dueling phase, unless I am mistaken.
