This is a fantastic Idea!

Should it be strictly spoken in Lojban?
Probably not.
Or mostly English?
Probably not.
Or repeating every statement in both languages? Or something in
between?
Something like that. Maybe full text in Lojban and a summary in
english so that you are motivated to understand more Lojban but you
still know what's going on if you don't. What do other people think
here?
Would you like beginner lessons?
Maybe. This doesn't have to be every week either. Even if just at the
end of each show you have. "This show was brought to you by the words:
..." and give some definitions. (this can be amusing too. especially
if you can keep a straight face)
Would you like world news headlines in Lojban?
Yes Please.
Would you like to hear the adventures of a xenoarcheologist exploring
the advanced language inscribed on the walls of a subaquatic deathtrap
built by an extinct alien civilization, which turns out to be Lojban?
Probably not. but I'm not opposed to this either. it's more of a "meh"
Would you like readings from Alice in Wonderland, The Prophet, or
other texts?
Yes. A good idea.
What would get you to subscribe?
I'm there already.
Another thing that would be really neat. Is if I could just download
an mp3 or ogg of the entire show and listen to it in my own time. Say
on the train into work. I'm really bored on the train. Most people
read but my eyesight isn't good enough to read news-print style things
without a lamp or aids.
Anyway. This is a fantastic idea. I'm happy to lend skills to this
cause but my spare time is nonexistent.
