that could certainly be a part of it. could vote for the featured monthly, bi-weekly, or weekly member or just have the hosts pick one so it's not always a popularity contest.
I would, in all sincerity, welcome any of those ideas and anyone who'd like to volunteer to help out. I'd love to do it more often.
i listen to a few podcasts that we could emulate - at least partially - pretty easily and they do not at all depend upon industry events to put out great content. not to mention they do it weekly. i'll brainstorm a little bit and PM you about it. i think there's a few people here, myself included, whose careers in the industry could benefit from putting out some quality podcast content. could drive a lot of traffic here, too, giving you the necessary kick in the bum to finally get all these database errors sorted out

It was definitely considered, but I find podcasts really difficult if you don't have an event to orient them around with a natural structure, like the Oscars. Otherwise you just have to talk about specific movies, which usually means new releases, which means you have to do them pretty often for them to be interesting to people. It's pretty all-or-nothing.
it would be cool to have a MoFo monthly podcast
da bears
That said, since there's a fair amount of prep work for them with the podcast and everything, it's not unusual for me to do some little mental check a few times a year to remind myself of how many months I have until the next one.
I think the Oscars were on my mind before I went to bed, but it's possible what I thought of just before sleeping and what I dreamed of are blurring together a little.
Yoda is dreaming of winning that Best Original Screenplay award.
That part might not be weird. I'm pretty sure I was thinking about the Oscars last night. Though at this point it's difficult to say for sure whether or not that was before I went to sleep or after.
