Whilst driving to NY today I was forced to listen to broadcast or as Howard Stern calls it “terrestrial radio”. I left my iPod at home and was forced to scan aimlessly through the dial searching for anything even remotely palatable. It was all crap I tell you, all crap.

Where does one turn to hear new music that is largely ignored by corpoarate radio?

McMacalot (Jimmay) put the bug in my ear again the other day about resurrecting a weekly Tinymeat Podcast. It got me thinking. Who, what, when where and why? Sure I’m a narcissist and would relish being a one-man-podcasting band however to produce a quality show, chock full of goodness I feel that I must assemble a reliable team of like minded individuals to do it up right.

My idea(s) for the show
1. Tinymeat presents “Thriftycuts”
2. 4-6 (thrifty) new indie tracks (cuts) per show
3. A board/panel/commentator setup of 3-4 reviewers
4. A review of the weeks tracks and a rating system based on cuts of (tiny)meat. ie, total utter crap would be rated “head cheese” and absolute brilliance would garnish a “Filet Mignon” rating
5. A chaptered Video/infographic feed would accompany the audio

The logistics for remotely bringing the panelists together is still in the planning stages and McMacalot is gettin’ the 411 on Skypecasting and iChat AV.

My shortlist of revolving panel members thus far are Brett (Dieselboi), Anna (Superinky), Cari (Motokitty), Kari Luna (HappyLittleAtom), John (Lucha Libre), Lelo (LeloNoPo), Rigo (Gravely Gay) and others who have yet to emerge.

The 411 on podcasting for the unitiated:
