Hi Russell.
Sorry I missed this post while I was at Lostock too.
I think it's a great idea, and if you're a good, clear speaker with a science/astronomy interest i'm sure you can make it work.
In fact, if you're interested, i'm happy to work with you to promote and/or host it through IceInSpace. I think it would be a valuable addition to the site. I don't expect bandwidth and/or disk space would be a concern.
As for the subject matter, that's a tough one.. It needs to be appealing to the masses so you don't just get an audience of 5-10 people, but it needs to be specific enough to target some topics and delve deeper.
The science/astronomy chat shows on commercial and/or ABC radio are usually very popular, especially the Fred Watson show on the ABC. Something like that would be a great podcast, but without simply regurgitating what he has said - plus, his show is already available as a podcast/download from the ABC site.
Maybe some shows could target equipment related issues, or how to get into astrophotography etc. You could have guest speakers from here on the forum, that are experienced in a particular field and interview them.
Anyway just a few thoughts.
Let me know if you want to work together in this.
