The F4 Show - Brand new Student based weekly webshow

[Sperkowsky]

Hello all,

This post was meant to be posted yesterday and put on the user announcements tab but, it has not been approved yet so, this will be good for the time being so I am going to keep it short.

The idea - This show will be based around students opinions unlike the other shows where it is primarily mentor run and hosted.

The time - Every Sunday at 8PM est

The way to get involved - If you would like to be a co-host for future episodes please apply with this form.

If you would like to be on today's episode please PM me.

The layout - 1hr long main show, 30 - 45 minute post show
First 5 mins - Co-host intro
Next 45 mins - Main topic
Last 10 minutes - Viewer questions

Up to 3 co-hosts per episode along with myself.

Today's topic - Should Stop Build Day go away?
Next weeks topic - Effective Strategies

Here is the logo for now. This is NOT the final logo. If you are good with graphic design or animation please contact me. (I do not know why BBcode is not working right now)

What value does this show offer over the mentor run shows?

We talked about it a bit on stream but essentially it is just a different Point of view. It is also a lot more relaxed and we are going to use terms that appeal to students more. I also think the inter-activeness of the show with having the option to be on the show is a feature no other FRC show is offering.

Anyway thanks everyone for watching the show. I consider is a sucess. I can not wait for the weeks to come!

What does F4 stand for?

Do you expected that the level of knowledge will be lower, just because students are younger? That said, I love the idea of a student-run FRC show. It would be able to focus on students' unique perspective, like being on drive team, interactions with other students both younger and older, or packing for regionals.

Well I can tell you I personally belive that the students on the show today know more then probably about 50% of mentors and are more engaged in the community then 80% of them.

When I talk about using less sophisticated language I am comparing our show to likes of First Updates Now or Gamesense with extremely good and experienced mentors.

I am glad there is some interest! I personally think today went very well and was very different then the other shows. The archived version will go up Tuesday.

It's really nice to see the perspectives of students on other teams in a talk show/podcast kind of format. I really like it, and hope to see this continue onward successfully

I watched the entire show and I enjoyed it a lot. They did eventually jump off of the planned topic, but imo that's been beaten to death anyway so I didn't mind. I think the best part was the student perspective, and the fact that the hosts were very good about addressing questions and comments, and I did leave a few of my own.
