Neumannz — ATTENTION, DUELISTS! If you could all stop staring at my hair for a moment... TALK — Those child-grabbing classes were worth every penny! — 00:30, 16 July 2014 (UTC)   So, as I suggested here, I would like to expand our podcast to more than a quarterly thing. I think we have a great deal of potential to talk about KH topics, and an hour-ish every three months seems a bit underwhelming, especially considering how in our first episode the whole time was easily eaten up by us talking about KH news updates. (I'm not complaining, but if the news picks up as we approach HD2.5's release, this becomes even more true.) Since we started out with the podcast as a tie-in with the Magazine, I can understand why we might want to keep release schedules together, but I think we could do more. If we want to keep them tied together, the Round Room page could cover all new episodes since the previous issue. Plus, the "issue-bound" episode of the podcast could be on news, while the others could be discussions on KH-related topics, like the Marvel thing Byz keeps bringing up, not to mention one or two topics I have in mind. So, comments?

Although this pertains to people in/editing the podcast... The idea sounds good to me. After all, some podcasts are released every week or month. Did you have an actual release schedule in mind? Xion4ever Who am I? — 02:39, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

UnknownChaser —— Red like Roses.— 03:14, 16 July 2014 (UTC) "Editing the podcast", who you trying to imply there, huh? But, I'm find with doing more frequent podcasts, it just depends on if theres topics to talk about or not.

Neumannz — Looks like I'm gonna have to jump...! TALK — I work alone! Except when I work with Xion...which is all the time. — 03:49, 16 July 2014 (UTC)   I think finding topics would not be too hard. Even if we have trouble picking a topic ourselves (and I don't think we will), we can always farm it out to readers of the Magazine. :P As for release schedule, I think one or two discussion episodes in between the quarterly news episodes would be reasonable, at least to start. We can see if that needs to change as we go.

KeybladeSpyMaster - I do it for my family, my home, my friends! I do it for her! TALK - Welcome to Spy Force One. - 09:40 PM Wed, July 16, 2014 MST I don't think there's a problem with trying to have more than one podcast every quarter. I think the general opposition stems from our doubt on whether you guys can do it more than once a quarter, but if you guys can and want to, go right ahead. I enjoyed the last one, and would love to see one more often. I think it's that we just assume there's a whole lot more work that goes into it than we sound, and we don't want to force you guys to do anything. Again, I personally loved the first one, and I'd love to see another one sooner.

TheFifteenthMember Yes. You're creepy. I can't say we'll miss you while you're gone, so it'd be best if you did go. We all win that way. — TheFifteenthMember 18:56, 17 July 2014 (UTC) I have an idea. The podcast is no longer published alongside the magazine and has its own time structure so the schedule is completely flexible for you guys. Similar to "KHWiki:Magazine", it'd get its own exclusive "KHWiki:Podcast" page to host the episodes first-hand. Then, the "Round Room" page on the magazine will just link all the new episodes that were released in the last quarter. To keep the "Round Room" page more than a page of links, each magazine issue could include a "special episode" of the podcast. Instead of being full-length, they could be around ten minute featurettes that discuss slightly different topics. For example, one episode can be quick-fire questions to each of the members asking them questions like "Favourite Organization Member and Why"? Maybe another can be a scripted radio-styled show set in a Kingdom Hearts setting. Hopefully, that can let you guys be more creative with what you want to do (and it's probably less editing for poor UC :P). Does that sound like something you want to do or would you guys like to stick to what you're doing now?
