Hey, I know a guy in Radio Saltire which is basically exactly what you're describing with starting as a podcast based platform and turning it into more. Granted, they're in Europe but it's the same kind of thing. I totally gave you way more information than you probably wanted, so my apologies for that. I think you'd be surprised at how many people would be interested in such a thing. Even with 13,000 students (we have 18,000 which isn't out of your league, and at one point there was a streaming only group on top of our station). The podcast thing is getting bigger too, people have started reaching out to us about syndication and stuff like that of shows they do on their own. Would love to hear more about where you end up going with this.
It's never too much info. And it's still very applicable advice. It's not because it's a smaller operation that I should not be thinking of branding and targeting. And the technical part is some useful stuff to know in case I want to grow that project out in the future. Y'all got me pumped for this idea. I was just mildly thinking of mentioning it in my interview to show off I have ideas and could contribute nicely to the association but now I actually believe it could work out. I'll let everyone know if it ever works out.
