Produce SourceCred Podcast

SourceCred Podcast

Status: In progress

Champion?:

Avatar @s_ben

Initiative Description:

Discourse posts are great, but sometimes people just don’t have the time for long, thoughtful reponses. We want a place where people can discuss SoureCred in a fun, time-efficient way. Let’s create a podcast. We can interview contributors and interesting people in the space.

Benefits:

Participants will have a chance to discuss SourceCred in a fun, engaging way that is respectful of their time. The project gets exposure and more potential contributors become aware of it.

Implementation plan:

Pre-production:

  • Set up production environment (mics, recording software, etc.)
  • Find co-host that can help with logistics, audio tech

For each podcast:

  • Find guest
  • Schedule time
  • Create topics to discuss
  • Record podcast
  • Lightly edit podcast
  • Broadcast on social media channels to start (if it gets traction, we can look into distributing more widely).

Estimated Work (hours):

Highly variable, but imagining:

  • Pre-production: 3 hrs
  • Production: 5 hrs
  • Distribution: 1 hr

Total: 9 hrs

Dependencies:

Not dependent on any current initiatives that I see, but dependent on guest availability, availability of co-host.

Hi Jessie. That would be awesome! @decentralion any chance we can get PL to produce an English transcription of the pod for translation?

Sorry for dropping the ball on the transcripts @s_ben. I followed up via email.

Thanks guys! Also i drop you @decentralion a message on discord with several questions, i m very excited to know more about the real practice within the SC itself, and i d also be happy to help tell the story to Chinese DAO community ! :grin:

BTW @s_ben an idea, I could be the “guest of last resort” when we don’t have another guest to spotlight. There’s a lot of specific subjects we could deep dive into, like:

  • SourceCred planning for 2020
  • SourceCred as a post-capitalist paradigm (e.g. “EcoCred”, or SourceCred applied to ecological conservation)
  • a whole podcast episode on gaming
  • a whole podcast episode focused on understanding the cred algorithm

and so forth

Sure. Sounds like an interesting convo for me anyway :slight_smile:

I was going to ask, can you think of any just interesting people from the space that might want to be the next guest? If I have you on too, I think the convo could be much more interesting. Especially if they’re involved with or at least have checked out SC and have opinions on it.

I think @mzargham would be a natural choice, since he has plenty of context on SourceCred. We could potentially get Juan Benet too.

Both would be great. What u say @mzargham? If you can’t be the next guest, can we schedule you sometime in the coming weeks? We’ve settled on a quick 30 min format to better snag busy people like yourself (though happy to do a full hour if you’re up for it)?

I’d love to. I do apologize for being less available of late. Busy times. I should be able to make it if I plan ahead. I see Tuesday Nov 12, 7pm CET on my calendar. If that is correct, I’ll block it off.

Thanks for thinking of me! -mZ

Sweet! @decentralion does that work for you? I know dandelion is on vacation right now, so they may not get back right away. But let’s just pencil this in. I can definitely make this time.

Next Tuesday works for me – looking forward to it!

Should this be transitioned into an Artifact, and if so, how do we want to transition Initiatives to Artifacts?

Was wondering this as well. Do we want to create a template for artifacts, similar to what we do with initiatives? So far it looks like the only requirements are that it’s a wiki editable by the community and links to ‘sub artifacts’ (contributions composing it)?

So a Wiki that links to initiatives?

Created an Artifact for the Podcast

@s_ben Do you think we can then mark this Initiative as “complete” since it’s graduated to an Artifact?
