Right now I’m trying to figure out what to do with two ideas I have floating around my mind. The first, and most likely to happen, is to try and become a syndicated columnist mainly here in Kansas or even nationally. The other, is far more ambitious. I have thought about creating at the very least a podcast/videocast of a 5 minute or longer “hard” newscast.
The columnist part will hopefully go through with at least one or two columns for sure. I plan to write about Kansas and national politics and the occassional article about technology, sports, culture, or life. I’m not sure if anyone would want to pick me up, but who knows.
The bigger idea, and in many ways prohibitive, is the newscast. What my initial idea is to create a short 5 maybe even 10 minute newscast that would basically be reguritating the day’s news. Now the hard part for this would be finding legal to use pics or video to help better illustrate the stories. I have a place in mind for the pics, the video would be far more difficult to find.
Now down the road, I can see this becoming something much bigger. What would be some of the ways it would be bigger?
- Have correspondts to actually cover the news.
- Create more than one newscast a day.
- Actually have a real news bureau somewhere.
- Maybe even become one of the main names in news.
Sure some of these ideas are pretty damned pie in the sky, well for right now. I’m not sure if I will follow through with this, but I might give it a go for an episode or two and hope that someone sees it and let’s me know if I should go forward with more or not.
So who knows what the future will hold, but at least I have a few options to consider.
Will it get to that point, I really can’t say.
