Thanks for the response guys - there is no point just trying to set it up by myself without know what people think / want.

I'd quite like to hear some of these for Net Epic as I think it would be great for explaining what is happening with the various projects that are not long underway; hopefully people may find it informative and potentially it could draw more people into contributing.
I think that that would be one of the main points of it - drawing out those people quietly working away on rules revisions / expansions and giving them a platform to draw other people in and explain why it is they are doing what they are doing.

I think the effort required may be high enough that a regular stream could be hard to maintain, but most importantly I think it'd be good to consider the audience - existing players, general wargamers? For the existing crowd there are some topics that might lend themselves well to the format IMO. In particular a suite of tactics episodes (with guest players of course) would be good - most other stuff I think is better on the forum.
Yeah, I agree that audience is important. Given the kind of content that seems feasible, existing specialist gamers seems to be core, with a focus on both experienced vets of each game but also trying to interest people in the other ones / providing intros to them.

A specialist games podcast focused on the old GW ips could go over very well. The problem of course is that there is never any news from the company, so you'd want to cover a lot of the rules development stuff, and the alternative models stuff.
I think this is true - the content is static form the point of view of GW not releasing anything. However there are two things that I think could keep it fresh - one is the current rules development going on across all of the games systems, whether its updating or creating new expansions etc, and the second is that there is a LOT of old content that people are likely to be unfamiliar with (think Ash Wastes for Necromunda...)
