Future Podcast Idea?
Posted May 18, 2008 - 8:08pm by Jen B.
After last night's Georgia Politics Podcast, I was thinking that what the world needed is discussion in a more argumentative style ala Chris Matthews and Kevin James. But, maybe not that one-sided. So an idea was born: BlogHate. Get two people who disagree quite frequently in the blogosphere and have them debate the issues in a podcast. Just think of the guests:
DecaturGuy v. Andre
SpaceyG v. Andisheh
GriftDrift v. Erick
Dave Mastio v. Everyone?
This could be quality stuff, people. Think about it and let me know.

There's also Duane Moody vs. ATL Malcontent.
It could be debating something, or it could be they're given a task to complete. DG and Andre trying to cooperate to accomplish anything would make for some high comedy.
I'm not, however, sure the world needs more Chris Matthews. Maybe it needs more Most Extreme Elimination Challenge.
Why did you link to HTML Purifier for Duane?
Also, if it's a debate format, I think there def. needs to be a moderator.
Umm, because it was like 6:30 in the morning when I wrote that and I pasted the wrong link in. Corrected.
And I agree there should be a host/moderator. But it can't be me or Amber because half the people on that list have beefs with us as well.
I'm in. As long as we get to wear evening gowns, and if good martinis are served. And some moonlight and magnolias in a 30305 formal garden would be a lovely setting. I duel best in my natural habitat.
I love this idea, but I would recommend the extra effort of going video. I want to SEE nostrils flaring and chairs flying.
I'd be interested in moderating. I consider myself capable of pretty fair, objective moderation of a debate. Plus, I want to see some THROWDOWNS. I'm also happy to help come up with a format.
That's right, Garrett - you are an arbiter, after all! /old inside joke
I'd love to duel Erick. In fact I've almost suggested the concept to Wilson.
But we'd need to agree on the topics otherwise we might start agreeing and that would be boring.
griftdrift,
The topics can be evolution, and Jesus. That should work, right?
Much obliged for the plug, and while I appreciate the tantalizing possibilities, what topics would we debate?
Is Guitar Hero the most amazing product ever? Is Carrie Underwood the most fabulously amazing Idol winner ever? Maybe I could respond to his assertion that the city of Atlanta is using the drought as an excuse to cripple Gay Pride (it's not like the city needs money). Perhaps we could engage on the victim mentality?
Or would I have to prove my "self-love" to someone who whines incessantly about perceived slights and perceived slights that may come?
I'm sure this makes me sound quite "assholish" (quoting Doyle Hargraves) ... so I'll end here, except to say I'd welcome an invitation to a more substantial debate on gay issues and issues that are not gay.
best,
ATLMalcontent,
Save it for the podcast. I don't want your weird obsession spread all over this web site in text.
And thus you see why Amber or I won't be moderating. ;)
I agree with Shelby this should be video.
Gosh, Amber, way to recite Duane's talking points. So criticize someone and you're obsssesed? Interesting.
ATLMalcontent,
This is the only time I will repeat myself. Save the snark for the podcast, or have future comments of yours along these lines deleted.
This would clearly be a waste of both of our times; he would spend the whole time demeaning anything and everything he feels is "inferior" about me or anything that I like/write about/"obsess" over/etc, while I wonder why in the hell I agreed to participate in the first place. as I THOUGHT this hatchet had been long since buried and forgotten.
There's absolutely no point whatsoever in doing this. If ATLmalcontent still holds onto the grudge, that's his bag, but I couldn't care any less about it than I already do.
Jeez, no offense, but I can't believe you guys brought this lameness up, seriously.
Duane,
Didn't mean to offend, was just throwing ideas around. I apologize if I did. Obviously if either party isn't willing then it won't happen.
It didn't offend me, I just think it is ridiculous to think that we have this "feud". That's all.
We'd need a really awful moderator, just to increase the entertainment value. Kind of like McLaughlin.
"John... your thoughts on this important issue..."
John responds... then halfway through the response, moderator chimes in:
"WRONG! Jessica, you have something to say about that, don't you?"
Jessica starts to chime in... then...
"WRONG!! Well, we've run out of time, and these blowhards need to get the hell out of my studio."
