What sort of 'radio' shows should I make next?

in #mspwaves5 years ago

Next week I will have been on Steem for 2 years.

For over two thirds of that time I have making 'radio' shows on MSP Waves at least once every week.

The last 3 or 4 weeks I have been taking a break for various domestic reasons.

I am now thinking about what sort of show listeners would like me to do when I return...



I have made a quite a variety of shows over the past 18 months.

The almost 100 shows have included...

  • The Alternative Lifestyle Show which later became ALT.Life

  • My Life In 8 Songs

  • Here Comes The News

  • The Steem &... series - including Food, Film etc

  • The GAME Show

  • The SOS Forums

  • 60 Minutes of Steem

  • DO

And also a variety of one-off specials such as SteemTank with @theycallmedan.


I have totally enjoyed making all the shows and they have all had their strengths and weaknesses.

Audiences have varied wildly from half a dozen to almost 200.

Unsurprisingly the shows focusing on Steem have always been the most popular - especially the SOS Forums which I hope contributed just a little to the 'rejuvenation' of Steem earlier in the year.


But Steem is changing.

Users, and listeners, are ever more fragmented across many more apps and offshoots of Steem, both Steem-based and beyond with the likes of Whaleshares and Smoke.io

With the coming of SCOTBot and Steem-Engine spawning the likes of WEEDCash and Palnet.io the trend will only continue and intensify.


So I am wondering what sort of show should I do next.

Should I just continue with the talk show / interview style of show discussing Steem and all its manifestations?

That would most likely get the largest audience numbers.

Or should I move back to more topic targeted shows like The GAME Show or ALT.Life?

Or revisit My Life In Songs?

Or should I look to invent something new and fresh again and attract different audiences?

Should we look to make shows that can be promoted beyond Steem and appeal to a wider audience.

This would be a great way to subtly push the blockchain into the wider world. But would that require resources, both technical and promotional, that we don't have?


Tell me what you would like to hear next?

Or if you would prefer me to stay off the airwaves tell me as well - I won't be too offended 😃

I think there's a lot of value to be had in a top-level overview show which discusses Steem, development etc and interviews/showcases this evolution. This would be useful for experienced as well as new users. Additionally, the entire Steemniverse is becoming more diverse and complex to grasp at a conceptual level. A (monthly? fortnightly?) show which perhaps combines the features of your daily news posts with the SOS-style interviewing and discussing would be very welcome and useful.

Perhaps key to something like this would be for you to have assistance in gathering the materials as I know that the daily news reports were a lot of work.

The above is the kind of stuff of yours that I have most been exposed to, and which I have found very useful in terms of my evolving overview of the Steemniverse. It is of very high quality and I would love to see it continue in some form.

Thanks for your comments on this. I'm looking at the best options at the moment.

Go back to STEEM universe overviews. We miss your amazing reporting there. :(

Do you mean the Daily News posts? Or the weekly State of Steem Forums?

Both, but the daily news posts was my steem newspaper!

I would enjoy shows with updates on Steem, with Steemit, Inc. and other actively contributing people and companies as guests. Thank you!

Thank you for your input.

The Steem &... series - including Food, Film etc & Do 🙏

Thank you.

Come play with #theramble and #theinnerblocks

I have checked out a few of their shows and it reminded me I haven’t tuned into yours in a bit.
