As I said during the last podcast episode, I’ve spent half of my life working in medical education and communications. Doing the math, I’m 50, and I started working in medicine when I was 25. Some of you know that before that, though, I was a sportswriter. My degree focus at Iona was in journalism, and in fact I was writing about high school sports for what is now the Journal News in Westchester before I even got out of college. Of course, some of those skills come into play with the podcast, in terms of planning content and developing questions for my interviewees.
But let’s not forget, first and foremost, when it comes to Iona hoops, I’m a fan. I’m a fan who developed a podcast. And while it’s nice that I’ve lined up good guests in order to bring you quality opinions about Iona and MAAC hoops, every now and then it'll be nice to hear from YOU, too.
With that said, I would like to put together a Zoom conference call (no video needed) of fans interested in joining in as sort of an IonaHoops.com roundtable. This would be a two-way convo for sure; I would ask you guys your thoughts on certain topics and you guys could also ask me questions that you haven’t seen me talk about publicly. I’m thinking of maybe 3-5 guests tops, as more than that would get cluttered and become difficult to moderate.
Some other considerations:
- Although I doubt someone who’s not a regular poster or someone I “know” would jump up to do this, if I don’t know you at least somewhat well, I won’t pick you to be on.
- This is not a LIVE event. The call gets recorded and then the final audio file is inserted into the rest of my podcast. I will edit you as needed, if you say something I deem over the top.
- Unlike chat sessions, this is not something anyone can “crash”. You have to have a link that I provide you to get into the Zoom.
- I know some of you prefer anonymity, and that’s fine and totally doable. We can discuss this if you want to do it but you have that concern.
- In terms of how long our call will be, Zoom limits you to 40 minutes of recording time. So we would all connect in, we can BS for a couple minutes, and then I’d tell you I’m hitting record and we'd be on for real.
- I am hoping to have a new podcast up in about 2 weeks, so our call would be within that time frame. Once we have our pool of guests sorted, I’ll work with each of you to set a time that works for everyone.
I am not putting this request for Iona fans onto Twitter, as I’d rather have 3-5 of you all, since I know the vast majority of regulars out here well enough to do this. If you have questions about it before agreeing to do it, you can use the private message function on this board, or you can connect with me privately via other avenues if we’re connected in that way (Twitter, Facebook, email, cell/text). I am purposely going to lock this thread as I think it may be better if people DON’T know who’s coming on, and I would respect that if you are chosen to come on you don’t tell the whole world nor share the Zoom link with anyone else.
So, hit me with if you’re interested or if you have questions!
