Thanks to all who replied.
The easiest thing for me would be to organize a series of 28-minute
interviews to broadcast live on kkfi.org on Tuesday evenings 6-6:30 PM
Central, then post a video with a transcript to Wikiversity, and post
the audio to Audioport.org. Anyone in the world could access it from
there and broadcast it at a time most convenient to them.
I currently have a commitment only from Dean Baker AND a February 23,
6-6:30 PM Central time slot reserved. I can get many later Tuesdays at
that meeting by asking for them ;-) People elsewhere could simulcast
what I produce live -- and even participate in a live interview if
they'd like -- take the recording from Audioport later. If Baker would
prefer a different time, I can record an interview at his convenience
and broadcast it later.
Alternatively, we could try to organize live videoconference(s).
Howeer, I'd need someone else to handle promoting it to an audience.
What do you think?
FYI: I will discuss this next Sunday, January 17, with the "Radio
Active Magazine" team, which produces content for Tuesdays, 6-6:30 PM
Central on kkfi.org. I can get most later Tuesdays if I want them by
asking for them in that meeting. However, I currently only have Dean
Baker.
Thanks for your interest and support.
