# 3A. Podcast Meet the R engineers

## Participants

- Mike Smith
- John Blishak 
- Matt Bannert
- Craig Bleile

## Challenges

finding the niche, concept that distinguishes from existing formats. 
Does it make sense to start a new thing or rather appear in existing formats and 
support existing podcasts, telefonconferences and project. 

## General Thoughts and Ideas

One possible perspective
- more interested in Research, not the software
- what packages people are using

=> distinguish from WhyR Webinar


## Resources (other podcasts)

- https://us-rse.org/rse-stories/posts/ (podcast, Vanessa)
- Bioconductor Developers' Forum (monthly teleconference) /w RSE content (Mike Smith)
    examples from Luke Tierney

### Video on People and Stories of RSE (short format)

- introduce people's story 
- use the reach of Youtube



### Podcast (long format)

- advantage: people be hooked for a long time once they joined
- more details, but not too technical
- interview
- probably not suited for hardcore technical stuff w/o visual aid. 


### Collabs

- RSE
- Vanessa's podcast
- Bioconductor Telefonconference
