So with the season winding down and still having that itch to cast. I've been pondering the idea of doing either a weekly or bi-weekly show for practicing out-of-match commentary. But I don't know if the ideas I came up with are any good or not, so I'm open to suggestions/feedback on the two that I have so far. The names are temporary:

1. "Meet the Caster" "Meet the Player/Team
Synopsis: Each week I sit down with a TF2 caster Player/Team and interview them, covering topics ranging from how they got their start in TF and casting, where they draw inspiration from, lots of other stuff. At the end we play a silly little game with a random viewer and talk about whatever we want.

2. "The Wayback Time Machine"
Synopsis: Each cast we bring out a old STV demo and cover it with a player from that game invited to come and sit in and discuss what went on in the game from their perspective, the strategy/ingenuity behind the key plays and how the meta has evolved since the game was played. May or may not involve unrelated "On this day in history..." tidbits.

Feel free to suggest other ideas too. :)

Instead of "Meet the Caster" how about "Meet the Player" or "Meet the Team" (for teams that have been around awhile), nothing against the casters but they do get their voice out there enough as it is. It would be interesting to hear the views of certain players or teams we get to watch on a weekly basis. The only comment I have for the second idea is that I like it!

Hmm... Thought about that initially Truktruk, but I like the way you put it. So I've edited the OP to include it instead.

Ive always been super curious to see what the tf2 scene is like in other countries
Not so much EU stuff but like Australia, Russia, Asia fortress. Maybe see if you could get a "invite/premiere" player from there. Hopefully someone can speak English.

Appreciate all the feedback folks, what I think I'll do is prepare a pilot episode of both and see how it goes.
