Currently I am looking for another co-host, the details can be found below.

----

Greetings, I'm getting a podcast up and running, though I've hit a few snags along the way, the main one being is my original co-host has unfortunately had to leave the project, but my loss is your gain.

Roleplaying 101 is a weekly podcast about gaming. How to run a game, how to play a game, what makes a game special, and etc... While I only have a few episode outlines kicking around in my head, there are easily hundreds of topics that need exploring.

Im sure atleast one of you is wondering why I don't pick someone from my offline friend pool, and the answer is simple. I already know what their thoughts are on almost every subject, and same with them to me. I can't surprise them with my views on any subject. And, I've noticed another trend with gaming podcasts, the hosts share to many half stories that don't make any sense to the listener. In jokes do not make for a good podcast, unless only your friends are listening.

As such, if I can find a good partner whom Ive never gamed with our experiences will be vastly different, our thoughts and ideas will be new to each other and this will create genuine surprise and arguments.

There are a few requirements for any co-host, these are as follows.

Hardware/software Requirements:
A good Mic. Something better then what was shipped with your PC.
Skype www.skype.com
Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
Broadband
headphones/earbuds
Ability to use Google Docs http://docs.google.com
A quiet room to record in. Dogs barking, cats meowing, and women nagging are bad. Causing more work for everyone.

Personal requirements.
Committed, there everyweek to record, on an IM program several times a week to discuss future casts.
-I know reallife happens i can accept that.
Knowledge of gaming systems, I know alot of them, I'd like someone else who does too.
Entertaining. Not a dry educational only podcast, but banter and friendly arguments are needed.
Active on the cast forums, and moderate them with an iron fist.

As for when we would be recording, scheduling is always the hardest. Monday-Friday I am free from 2pm until 7pm. Tuesday nights I am completely free, otherwise I am booked. Please keep this in mind if you are considering taking the project. I am in the EST timezone.

I've invested alot of time, money and energy into this project. All I'm asking from a co-host is time and energy. Being at the recording
sessions weekly, keeping currently with google docs, or email. Checking in on the forums, aswell as keeping the creative and fresh ideas flowing into our episodes.

So, if you are interested drop me a PM here look at the following list:
MSN & Email: Horsepool@gmail.com
Skype: MsTilly (Wives account, but we have skype out on it. Smartasses.)
AIM:Threx Of Thamasa

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask here for all to see.
Thanks for your time!
