Functional programming podcast

Show of hands, who would be interested in working on a podcast weekly
or biweekly and what would you like to provide? Light banter is an
acceptable answer. Some points that might be covered on such a podcast
might be:
* Latest FP conferences/hackathons/etc
* Competitions
* Interesting papers (new, or old and dug up)
* Interesting blog posts or stackoverflow questions
* New and interesting libraries/tech released
* Developments in the communities, funding, business developments
* Interviews with prominent FP chappies
This bleeds over a little with Haskell Weekly News, but it's more like
FP weekly "interesting stuff", and therefore there would be a lot more
news to pack in. It would be something to listen to while you're
walking to work with your ipod.

We could use Gtalk or Mumble (both quite high quality audio) to conduct it and cut it up in audacity.
I for one would be an interested listener

With permission I forward that Justin has offered to help cutting it up and would also be on it.

I will enjoy listening to a podcast like that.
The community can provide interesting content (links, posts, papers, ...).
Sort of a central feed to submit your suggestion to be discussed in
subsequent podcasts.

I'd listen.
With good editing and good discussion, this could be a nice addition
to my (bi)week.

I would definitely be interested in helping out. I'm only an intermediate level with Haskell, and about 5th grade with Common Lisp, but I wouldn't mind trying out for a speaking spot on it. Assuming my voice doesn't come off as too distracting :)

I'm always at a loss for good technical podcasts. The popular ones that
come up (with a simple search) are such fluff!

We're closing in on a month since this post. Did everyone decide to
do their own thing, do nothing, or ?

Ah, I'd been traveling after posting this and then settling back in work, this remains on my TODO list in my organizer. I have no plans laid out, it's something I've wanted for some time and this post is the “Hey guys what if?” We should continue—my time zone is UTC+1, I am usually free within 19-23:00 with varying degrees of freeness. Friday and the rest of the weekend is better. We could try out G+ hangout and or I can setup a Mumble on hpaste.org. These are good for group chats, and if the quality isn't too great we can each record locally also and synchronize the audio later. Anyway, must dash.

hmm... UTC-5 here ( -4 right now with DST... or whatever excuse it is to deprive me of an hour of sleep!) fridays & the weekend are good for me too. i work til 18:00 on fri & 16:00 on sat... also, google hangouts would (should) work for me. i know skype is *really* flaky, but the google video chat has been pretty ok. lets hope my newbishness dosn't turn anybody off :P me -- * The wise man said: "Never argue with an idiot.
