Derek, so long as you have the people lined up, yes go for it. But another thought...
One thing I have noticed especially with the "other" train magazine, is that the focus seems to be on the extremes. There's always articles on the postwar era. Then there's reviews of mostly modern high end scale engines with layout features on similar layouts. Meanwhile the MPC and LTI eras seem to get overlooked.
I don't buy either 3-rail train magazine much anymore. The last time I bought the other one was in 2014 when they did a feature story on early MPC product. That was great!!
Of course, you could only do a podcast if you could find people who worked for Lionel during that time. Either that or people knowledgeable of that period with maybe the inside scoop.
I worked in the newspaper business for years. Current news goes on the front page. In the train business, the news is all the electronic developments and the scale trend. But on the inside pages, you have more liberty to cover other news or human interest stories.
It would be interesting to hear more about the MPC era or the LTI era up to the point where Lionel left Michigan and the real push with scale products took off.
