Long time lurker, first time poster blah blah…
OK so this isn’t your typical feature request, but I was wondering if there was appetite/interest for a Home Assistant podcast?
A lot of the home automation podcasts talk about commercial systems and not your link 1000 products together ecosystem that Home Assistant is amazing for.
I’m a podcaster so I’d be really keen to do this myself (but not alone). Community (and Paulus et al) buy in would make it much more successful!
I know Paulus does interviews. I’ve seen at least 2 different ones so he would likely be in on it. Heck, I’d help if there was something I could do.
Maybe put together an outline? List out talking points or episode ideas? I’m not sure what the next step is.
I was thinking that it’d kick off with the latest news about the latest release, which would lead into talking about components depending on what has been added/changed.
I’d definitely need someone to co-host with me (or a group of co-hosts) as I’m not very interesting on my own!
Other ideas:
I’d be willing to help with this. I have a bit of pod casting experience. Everything from producing to hosting.
I love this idea! I would be down to come and talk on the shows (but not as a permanent co-host) and we can promote it on the official blog / social media.
Awesome! I’ll get onto it 
@ericgcollyer I’m super keen to have you involved, I already host/record/produce/host 5 podcasts so one more is fine but having some help is very welcome.
@balloob do you think maybe we could get a podcast channel on Glitter for organisation purposes?
Not able to help here, but you’ve got at least one listener! 
Definitely interested into listening to such a podcast!
Yes please! That is a great idea!
I would really like this, If the podcast covered the new features in each release it would be a fine way for me to keep informed on the new cool stuff.
I’d be happy to help out however I can
The first episode of the podcast is live!
Get it over here and don’t forget to subscribe!
Just finished listening to the third episode, and I’m really enjoying it. Please continue, and don’t worry about it being too technical in places; the insight from those discussions is very interesting and valuable.
Just found the Podcast this morning while reading over past posts to the blog I had missed while focusing on my other major hobby (Aquaponics, if it matters lol) instead of automating the home. I’m now back to working on the house and LOVE the podcast. Finished the first 2 episodes and started episode 3 today during drivetime. Good job guys! I used to co-host a radio show in Houston and even the Canadian impressed me
I’m also a listener of the podcast for 2 weeks now, great podcast, keep it up
I thought the Brit on #5 sounded especially cool
I guess we just got our first hint at who that guest will be. ^^^^^
Nevermind. Just found out episode 5 is live. Lol
Hey @dangeek, great show, I enjoy listening every time!
I’m not sure if this is the right place, but I wanted to ask if you could dedicate a (part of) an episode on presence detection? It’s been quite the struggle to get that going and it seems that I’m not the only one when I browse here on the forums. On the other hand it’s a pretty essential part of Home Assistant since there are so many things you can automate once you get this going right. It would be interesting to get someone to elaborate on different techniques perhaps. Just a suggestion that I thought might be interesting for many listeners.
Anyway, keep up the good work! Looking forward to #8
