A podcast or newsletter to highlight dev teams?

I've had this growing urge to try my hand at podcasting lately. I've been struggling a little bit with what I'd focus my podcast on but recently it dawned on me that I could focus on an angle that I myself wish existed.

What is this angle?

I live in Cincinnati, OH and I enjoy networking w/ people quite a bit but I realized my view of the dev ecosystem in my town is limited to those I'm immediately connected to. There isn't a publication or news source that highlights dev. teams and the cool things they are doing but if there were I feel like I'd have a better picture of what's going on amongst devs in Cincinnati.

If this existed I'd try to cover

  • What problems they're solving
  • What kind of culture they have
  • How they are organized
  • What tech/patterns/tools they're trialing, adopting, using, or moving away from
  • What job opportunities they currently have

My questions to the group are:

  1. Would this be something you'd subscribe or listen to?
  2. Is there anything else I should include in what I cover?
  3. Which sounds more enticing - a podcast, newsletter, or both?
  4. Can you think of any hurdles I might be ignoring or overlooking?

Thanks in advance!
