John - Video and Community

We released The Radical Show last week, and got a ton of feedback. My conclusion is that the show had some merit, but still needs quite a bit of work. We will try again in the future.

We've been thinking about what video to do in the meantime. (We're taking a break from video during the holidays, but it will return in January.)

One idea that has been floating around for quite some time is doing some kind of collaborative effort with the ChinesePod community. There's so much creativity and passion out there that it just makes sense. So the question is: how do we work with you to create helpful video content?

Below is just one possibility of how user-created video might be augmented by the ChinesePod team and then returned to the community.

Please note that our primary mission is still producing excellent audio podcasts. Video takes much more time than audio to do properly, and for that reason we can't be out on the streets every day taking footage, combing through it, and then editing it. Please understand that.

Anyway, we'd love to hear your ideas. The best ideas should:

• have educational value
• require a realistic time investment
• be FUN!
