# GM Farcaster **tl:dr:** GM Farcaster is a sufficiently decentralized morning show with your hosts @adrienne and @nounishprof bringing you 21 minutes of Farcaster news each Monday/Wednesday/Friday on Unlonely, with recordings dropped as Zora mints. --- At the end of September, Nounish Prof and Adrienne started a fun experiment in decentralized media -- a morning news show centered around the Farcaster ecosystem called GM Farcaster. We started with a soft launch and a lot of technical difficulties but found our way and now have produced 20 episodes as of this writing. All episodes can be found here on Zora: https://zora.co/collect/base:0xc678c2b1ced0f2a2666ae9b76a3be1d0ced09925 ![gmfarcaster logo.png](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SJE2MFxQa.png) ### Why 21 minutes? We wanted the episode length to be 30 minutes or less to make it bite sized, something you could enjoy with a cup of coffee. Did you know that it takes an average of 21 minutes to drink a cup of coffee? So 21 minutes seemed perfect! We also have limited time ourselves so this makes it manageable and sustainable. ### Unlonely and Zora We wanted this to be as web3/Farcaster native as possible so the show is streamed live on Unlonely and recorded. **[The recordings are dropped as NFTs on Zora](https://zora.co/collect/base:0xc678c2b1ced0f2a2666ae9b76a3be1d0ced09925)**, where you can view and/or mint (it can be viewed without minting). We include links in the show notes (NFT description) to casts we discuss, as well as anything interesting we didn't have time to get to. We will soon be adding a more traditional podcast feed as well. ### Format We are currently streaming three days a week (M/W/F) while we grow our audience. Morning works better for our schedules so we normally do the show at 8:30 am ET but do switch up times when needed. Down the road, we plan to add some interview specials and eventually, if there's enough demand, we may extend to all weekdays, possibly with additional hosts. The idea is that it will also live on different Unlonely channels (decentralized) but currently streams on Nounish Prof's channel. You can find our schedule on **[Unlonely.app](https://www.unlonely.app/)**. ### Purple shoutouts on GM Farcaster We regularly mention Purple as it naturally comes up in conversation. On October 25 we went a little extra for Purpleversary and themed it around Purple. You can see that episode here: **https://zora.co/collect/base:0xc678c2b1ced0f2a2666ae9b76a3be1d0ced09925/16** (forgive the minor sound issues in the first 3 minutes) ![purpleversary.png](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SkeIZNKgXp.png) ### What's Next? A few next steps on our roadmap: build out **[our website](https://www.gmfarcaster.com/)**; add podcast streaming/rss; interviews; a weekly newsletter with summaries/links; and a GM Farcaster shop (yes, sample merch is being evaluated now! coffee mugs up first of course). We're also building in special perks for those who mint the recordings, like discounts on merch. We may even do our own prop house to source some designs! --- **Thanks for considering our prop! And thanks to all the Purple members who've joined us on the stream and supported our fun experiment!** **[GMFarcaster.com](https://www.gmfarcaster.com/)** **Nounish Prof: https://warpcast.com/nounishprof Adrienne: https://warpcast.com/adrienne**
