I think this is a great idea and commend you for considering it. FWIW:
- The PW content will have to have a different approach than the existing Notch 6 episodes. While Notch 6 typically talks about product launches, new developments, and the like, clearly there’s not much of that happening in this arena anymore.
The focus will have to be more on history, repair & servicing, current pricing, etc. You shouldn’t feel constrained to have the same types of episodes for PW as you would with current production. On a related topic… - …a few of the other comments have suggested some fairly detailed topics and seem to be implying that the content should be based around those with “first hand” knowledge from back in the day. While I would find all of this interesting, too, I don’t think you need to limit the scope of what’s covered so narrowly. Personally, I’d listen to virtually anything about PW as long as the person is interesting and knowledgeable about the subject at hand.
- Finally, I too would suggest not creating a separately-branded podcast (at least, as someone else mentioned, not at the beginning). It’s hard enough to build one audience – let alone a second. I think there is a significant amount of interest overlap anyway, and if someone isn’t interested in a particular episode’s topic they can just skip listening to it.
I anxiously await whatever comes from your idea.
