I finished up a Tweetcast last night. It’s something I came up with (someone somewhere else may have come up with it first, but I have never heard of it, so I came up with it on my own). I polled my followers on twitter, and asked them who wanted to talk about hockey for five minutes. It was only the second time I had done it, but I doubled up from three to six respondents.
It’s almost like a reverse call in show. Everyone who wanted to do it was given a time slot, I called them (including our own Jay Kumar), and recorded our conversation for the podcast.
Six was almost a few too many people, and even though I try to limit the conversation to five minutes each, I think I may have to modify it to three or four guests with ten minutes each. That may be a little more manageable, while giving the conversation a little more room to breathe. Five minutes doesn’t seem like enough. And I really hate cutting people off.

The Tweetcast concept is a great idea. Get the word out on Twitter, get a bunch of different viewpoints and voila! You’ve got a podcast. Awesome.
