RealGM Suns Podcast?

So I've been discussing this with the man (bw). I'm thinking of starting a weekly Suns podcast featuring RealGM users. bw's in support of the idea, but what we lack is technical expertise and experience. So I'm asking for help.

The inspirations for this project are as follows:

(1) While authoring posts on this forum is sweet and all, oftentimes it feels as though we could cover a lot of ground quickly by doing this as an oral conversation.
(2) There are a lot of knowledgeable Suns fans here and elsewhere on the web - certainly, fans who are more knowledgeable than a lot of the commentators with a current web presence.
(3) Current Suns podcasts just... aren't that good. I've made my feelings known about the awful Empire of the Suns, and just listen to this most recent podcast on BSOTS: http://www.brightsideofthesun.com/2017/1/1/14140212/latest-phoenix-suns-pod-by-the-fans-for-the-fans. Not impressive - I admit, I couldn't even get through it. I think we can do better.
(4) I like talking Suns during the offseason, and there's just not a lot of content during the summer. I know, there's no news, but I can't be the only one who wants to talk Suns even where there's nothing new to talk about.

With all this in mind, I'm looking for volunteers who would be interested in participating as a guest on such a podcast, but more importantly, anyone with the technical expertise who could either advise on the creation of a podcast or who could actually work the technical angle. I could provide some start-up funds as necessary to get the ball rolling, but I could really use some technical help or advice.

The idea would not be to generate a huge following, to make money, or to "break in" to the industry. The idea would be to put forward the best Suns commentary on the web, so that die hards like myself could more easily satisfy that craving for Suns insight. It's all about the content.

Let myself or bw know if you'd be interested in working on this or if you have the time or skills necessary to help, especially on the technical side. Or, let me know in the comments below that you feel the same way about the current state of Suns-casting and would appreciate something like this.

Thanks,

Doing the stuff needed for a pod is a fair whack of work.

What do you think of Locked On Suns?

I think that's probably the best of the ones that are out there.

How much work we talking? It may be a bit beyond my capabilities ATM. In any case, it certainly would be nice if someone on this board could host a podcast. I'd love to be contribute if hosting is beyond me.

I think I brought this up a few years ago but no one seemed interested at all. I would be down.

I'm down as well. I would even take the paper bag off my head.
