Podcast format proposal

• overall: as-it-happens discussion/conversation between ~tym and ~jmiller
• maybe invite other guests sometimes?
• broadly, subject matter of these conversations would focus on "what we think works in software projects" with the philosophy of "radical incrementalism" in the background — but not be limited to these
• let's record 6 1-hour sessions
  • it would be nice if we can get together in person for these somewhere, but we could always do over a call
• following something like St. John's College seminar practice, each session begins with an Opening Question, which we take turns asking
• once underway, we should let the conversation "follow the argument" — we don't need to stick to trying to answer the opening question directly; relevant tangents and even out-and-out digression is welcome and encouraged (although we should try to circle back and close open loops where we can). The Opening Question is a way to begin the discussion, not to limit its course
• after we have 6 hours in the can, let's see what we have before deciding on format
• possible formats:
  • each hour presented straight through with minimal editing (just clean up long gaps, coughing etc)
  • divide the hours into shorter segments (like 20 or 30 minutes)
  • completely re-edit the material into more thematic blocks, which might be taken from multiple sessions
