OK,

I have 7 months off work (long service leave) and I have been toying with the idea of doing a podcast series on Astronomy Research for the Amateur. A combination of audio and video casts on the subject. (Have the audio equipment and video plus software care of another long term project I am working on).

I would be covering the rationale (trying to convince people to do it), what can be done, how to set up an observatory, robotics (off the shelf, plug and play approach), astrometry, photometry, period analysis, participation in professional programs etc etc etc. All of it from a dummies guide approach rather that a scientific approach - an insiders guide so to speak.

Thoughts?
