I'm just starting to get into podcasts and I was looking around for a lojban one. Didn't find one so you'd be the first. The esperento-ists have at least one and we can let them win :^). As to the format I'd suggest, theme music with lojban lyrics. Beginners guide. Ever heard the Pimsluer foreign language courses? Something like that may be suitable. Although a single lesson tends to run about half an hour in length. articles or short readings in lojban preferable with some of the vocabulary from the beginners section. news and up comming events in lojban. closing. The idea is to move from intro/beginner to the more advance stuff to drag the listener deeper into an understanding of the language. As such, words introduced in earlier section should be echoed in later sections. I've place news last in the line up as reading newspapers is usually considered an advance topic in most language courses I've seen due to the large number of shortenings, uncommon words, and colloquialisms the media tend to use.
