The staff of the CubeCast (Thom and I) are always trying to think of new things to put into the podcast. Thom and I both thought it'd be a good idea to get suggestions from you guys to see what kind of stuff you want on the show. If you have a suggestion for the show leave it here! Please keep it appropriate~

Suggestions can be anything ranging from
-Guests that you want
-Specific subjects
-New segments (ex. Random Catch of the Day and Quickfire Questions)

Let us know~
 
Okay I completely agree with jms_gears and Chris Hardwick! Except I want to add Stefan to the Nub Hunter episode, if those two tag teamed some of these guys oh man it'd be quite brutal!

I think some mad libs could be entertaining.

I just spent a good five minutes trying to think of miniature challenges that would be really entertaining but I failed at it, but that would be a good idea if anybody can think of some.

Have you heard of the game Chubby Bunnies? I think a good "mini challenge" could be a spin-off of that, stuff your mouth full of marshmallows and try to give the news updates (or maybe a spoonful of peanut butter).

Hmm... how about, "Phone a random cuber"?
Find some random cuber's number, and give him a call unexpectedly during the recording.

Finding a small number of people (3-4) and having them record "mini-segments" for each episode would be neat. You would provide them with a topic and they could basically give their 1-2 minute commentary on the subject.

I have seen posts here occasionally mentioning that some cubers are in bands. Perhaps you could feature the music of some of those bands occasionally... if they are interested.

"Hot items from the Forums" Pretty self explanatory... pick the hottest discussion on the forums at the time and give your opinions on it. A lot of those things would probably be discussed in the natural flow of the show anyway, just something to think about.

OOoooooh I like the quiz idea, could be asked to the guest. How about doing it in the format of the NPR show "Wait, wait, don't tell me!" Common formats they use are Rapid fire "fill in the blank" questions relating to the week's news events, news limericks where you fill in the last word, guess which story is true (three stories are given that all sound plausible, but only one is a true story), things like that.

I'll look more into their formatting, but just an idea.

A little more forum chatter...all of your listeners read the forums. You could point out anything that was especially worth reading, or rag on anything really dumb that went down. You know, community news and commentary, not just the latest WR's.
 
maybe make an episode devoted to tournaments and how to prep for them and what to expect. U could talk about how much to practice, rules, etc. Or you could try to get yu nakajima for an interview, that would be cool
