The slots you mentioned tend to be dominated by classic panel shows, writer/performer led vehicles as mentioned in one of your previous blogs and the occasional sketch shows which, whilst useful for developing basic skills, aren't suitable for everyone. However, I'd love to hear your blog based thoughts on sitcom podcasts. True, there's no audience there to provide the crucial feedback and the scope for self-indulgent crash and burn vanity projects which teach the writer nothing is beyond spectacular - on a par with Viking funerals. However, for the determined writer who may actually have something to offer it’s not that hard to assemble a small troupe of passable actors. Most home computers can be rigged to record decent audio with very little investment and sound effects are widely available. Music is the only tricky part of the equation as I currently see it but I’m sure that bridge too could be crossed in some still to be thought of way. What are your blog based thoughts on the pros, cons and practicalities of sitcom podcasts? Is it a worthwhile venture for developing as a writer generally or even for developing existing comedy projects which may look good on paper but have yet to take make it much further that the printer??
