Intro

News

The members of the West Coast Podcast Alliance are doing a live show and recording at the Las Vegas Open. Come hang out with and watch The Independent Characters, The Imperial Vox Cast, and Life After the Cover Save make podcast magic! There will be banter, topics, guests, a game show, and prizes. All this in front of a live audience – you!

* * *

Crew:

LAtCS – Blake and Ed

IC’s – Carl

IVC – Bill and Dawson.

Logistics:

We will be bringing all our recording gear to Vegas – we got it covered.

Carl will only be able to do this on Saturday. Hopefully, that will work in your schedule for the painting room and not get wiped out by the 40k event. Let me know what you are looking at.

I don’t know what you have planned for entry fees on this. All of us are fine with entry fees, especially if we will be giving out prizes. My most important goal is that Frontline covers it overhead on this.

Plan:

Show shouldn’t be more than 2 hours.

A topic for group discussion.

Bring in a guest or two and talk with them.

Run a few game shows – 40k inspired. Provide prizes for the winners.

Depending on the size of the prize support that we have (it shouldn’t be small), we may do audience swag as well.
