[Charles Olsen <charles.olsen@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've been making some notes about the show, and I wanted to toss them 
around and see what you guys think.

Here are my ideas for segments that could be included in the show. Each 
episode would not necessarily have all of the segments listed below, and 
of course we can add new ones as we think of them.

Let me know what you think.


INTRO

Some opening music, host says something like "Welcome to the Linux Mint 
Podcast. This podcast features  news and help for Linux Mint users, as 
well as all Linux users. We'll help you if you're just getting started 
with Linux Mint, or looking for ways to get more out of Mint."

Host and co-hosts introduce themselves.

Host mentions major topics for this episode.


MINT NEWS

Latest news about Linux Mint.


LINUX NEWS

Other Linux news: noteworthy releases of distros, Linux adoption, 
release of new apps, etc.


OTHER TECHNOLOGY NEWS

Microsoft news/antics
Maybe even other devices: cell phones, ebook readers, etc.


STORY OF THE WEEK

The main topic of this episode. Could be reviews and how-to's of Linux 
software, or hardware that is using Linux.


WIN2LIN

Like me, I think a lot of listeners who are new to Linux will have 
questions in this format: "In Windows I did yada yada, how do I do that 
in Mint?"


WEB SITE OF THE WEEK

Mention a useful (or fun) web site and talk about what's available there.


LISTENER FEEDBACK

Emails received and our responses. Also, do we want to encourage 
listeners to record their feedback in audio files and send that in for 
us to play in the podcast? I've heard it done in other podcasts and 
actually I don't like the idea, but you guys might want to try it.


HOW TO CONTACT US
Email address for the show, email addresses for the hosts, where to find 
the Contact Us form on the podcast web site. Mention the forums on the 
podcast web site. (We will have forums, right?)


CLOSING

Repeat host names and mention their web sites/blogs, encourage listeners 
to email the show and participate in the forums, mention the major 
topics for next week.
