The idea of an "RPG Podcast" has been tossed around quite a few times in the past, of that I'm sure - the most recent iteration being with the user Entity_Of_Sin. It lasted one episode. I don't really think anyone saw it.
What I think that the idea of a podcast is missing is the user. The past versions of it I have seen have just been one or two people talking about general roleplaying theory. There's no foothold for people to feel involved, and there's no real incentive for the community to settle in and watch.
I'm proposing an RPG Podcast that will solve that problem. It will serve as a "gateway" to the community, bridging the gaps between different circles of writers. Why not have a podcast that's all about user-created content?
"The Week in Gateway" or "The Week on Gateway" (either TWIG or TWOG; haven't decided yet) will be a weekly 5-minute video in a newscast format. Hosted by yours truly, it will attempt to cover the following things in no particular order:1. A featured Roleplayers Wanted thread that the users should check out.
2. A featured Interest Check that the users should check out.
3. Any updates made to the website (as per the "Recent Changes" page at the top of the screen)
4. "What's Hot" on Gateway in terms of genres
5. Notable user-submitted content in the Creative Realm
6. A featured Tabbed roleplay
7. Notable moments in the Multiverse/Gambit's Bar.
This, I believe, will greatly encourage more users to tune in on a weekly basis. Links to content will be provided in the description of each YouTube video.
This is obviously content that will be for existing users, but so long as we are continuing the idea of chasing down multiple tracts for the RolePlayGateway YouTube channel to have .. this is as good of a place to start. When users are tuning in on a weekly basis, that cements the existence of the channel in their minds. Then, a month later or so, when we submit the "JOIN GATEWAY NOW!" content, the users will have a familiarity with the channel, and can share the videos with friends both IRL or on the internet.
Without this, users won't be as inclined to share a YouTube channel they had no idea existed. With this proposed idea in the works, they'll have an investment to it - their name, their own roleplay, etc.

But, I do like the idea. It would most certainly allow for people to know/understand what's going on at the moment instead of the usual, "Wait what?"
This will only work with strict deadlines though I think.
