# Meta Field Trippers Podcast

RAW NOTES
---------------------

- Multi-host game review podcast recorded live from a virtual production studio.
- Episodes should be between 4 to 7 minutes.
- Recurring theme: What does it mean to be compatible w/ the metaverse?
- Each host reviews & rates the same game but using a different set of criteria.
- There is also type of "recommended / not recommended" judgement made by each host.
- If possible - there should be a recorded video session of the users exploring the program together that the hosts can talk about together during the podcast - before breaking into their individual scoring reviews.

Show Location: Virtual Studio
------------------------------------
- The two hosts are in a virtual studio together with a video screen that shows clips of the things they are discussing.
- We can just use a different location each time for now. (But should probably build a perminent one eventually.)
- The segments that occur in the virtual studio are LIVE (or at least precieved to be.)
- The segments that occur in the field trip worlds are flashbacks that may contain additional commentary & heavy editing.
- PortionsFlashbacks are sometimes shown as a video playing on a screen in the virtual studio w/ the hosts talking over it.

Show Location: Field Trip World
------------------------------------
- Gameplay recorded by the actual hosts in the games being reviewed.
- If possible, the hosts are in the same multiplayer game together in the recording.
- Objective is to have fun in the game & be positive - unless the game doesn't let us be positive. :D
- There may be additiona voice-over commentary, or even brief cut-aways back to the Virtual Studio where the hosts talk about stuff.
- If filler footage is needed, generic footage / screenshots of the game can be used while in the Virtual Studio cut-away shots.

Show Block: Intro
-----------------------------

- Generic pre-recorded intro sequence.
- Live introductions for today's show, the games to be reviewed, & the 2 hosts.

Show Block: Review - Field Trip
------------------------------

- Positive introduction to the game about to be reviewed.
- Field trip starts as a flashback video in the virtual studio, then takes over full screen. (Although there may still be additional commentary in voice-overs & cut-aways during the field trip.)

Show Block: Review - Rating Lists
---------------------------------

- Each host applies their list of metaverse criteria to the game.
- Light discussion between hosts about their scoring.
- Invite viewers to say what they think in feedback.

Show Block: Review - What If...
--------------------------------------

- The hosts discuss design changes that could alter the game's potential.
- Ask users what ideas they have in the feedback.

Show Block: Review - Chopping Block (Recommend/Don't Recommend)
----------------------------------------------------------------

- Each host must either recommend or not recommend the game.
- We call in the curator (a recurring 3rd character) to remove the game from our virtual set and take it to it's final resting place.
- If both hosts recommend a game, it goes into the hall of fame museum.
- If both hosts DON'T recommend a game, we blow it up & it respawns in the hall of shame. (We apologize for shitting on people's games before we blow them up.)
- If we are a split decision - it goes into the regular museum.

Additional Show Blocks
----------------------------------

- Having another character arrive "unexpectedly" and deliver a viewer question from last week or initiate some other small segment would be nice.
