Why is John Shelburne putting together a podcast -

He wants to learn how to record a podcast and distribute it to an audience.

He wants an opportunity to catch up with classmates and learn about their businesses/careers and any news that they want to share.

This has NO affiliation with Highland Park High School or Highland Park Alumni Association.

The concept of the podcast -

A phone call chat with me that will be recorded with a classmate of 1995 and will be distributed on apple, Spotify and the website.

I have setup an easy online scheduling tool that will allow class members to sign up without emailing me or calling me.

The link is on the podcast webpage and CatFIX.biz

Possibility of a Tiered Content Model, Walled Access or Ads -

Let’s say this takes off and I have to dedicate more time to this project than I originally intended then I am going to have to figure how to monetize the content.

In that case you might hear a few sponsor pitches or even ads.

I am also looking at private podcasts for class members that want to share their story but do not want to promote it to the general public.

It is all up to the person that is being interviewed.

Patreon is a service that allows content creators to setup tiered access to content.

I am trying to set this up where HPHS class of 95 members will have free access.

Friends and Family of the podcast interviewee would have another rate and Highland Park alumni another rate.

At the end of the day this is about catching up with class members and giving them a chance to tell their story to an audience. The reunions are so far apart that we don’t have time in one weekend to catchup with everyone.

Opening tune - Clocks (Coldplay & Bueno Vista Social Club)
