Our big goal is building a Farcaster native media network. We started live streaming Farcaster news in September 2023, back when weekly active users were less than 1000 and you still needed an invite to join. We’ve been doing shows 3x a week since then, covering news, announcements and culture stories. In addition to the flag ship news show, we have 2 email newsletters, a 12 part onboarding series, helped produce several other series, and run competition game called Cast Out (next season starts Monday!) How much of the show did you watch? We’re always open to feedback, esp from the perspective of new people! 🙏 Here’s some more info about what we’re doing: https://mediakit.gmfarcaster.com

Watched the whole show It was the post farcon show — around 70 minutes long Do you find there is enough going on to make a show 3x a week? How do you think about the “in crowd” nature of the content? On one hand it plays to a niche audience and likely builds trust in them. On the other hand (as an outsider) it comes across a bit exclusionary — I understand this is a tough balance in any audience creation motion

Great point, thank you for raising it - it’s something I’ve thought about. I think you happened to pick the one show that probably sounded way more insider-y than is typical, given the nature of farcon and clanker drama. We want to be like the morning news, your high school’s announcements, good morning America - not a niche show for insiders. Something we’ll have to keep in mind as the network grows. I haven’t worried about it too much because we’ve gotten feedback that new people have found our show and said it really helped them understand how to get plugged in and understand the nuances - @maryams.eth @mikadoe.eth @yes2crypto.eth as new people once in time, any thoughts here?

I found GMFC "early on" - Jan of 2024 - and I started consuming as much as I could. Having been FC-pilled hard and believing in sufficiently decentralized social media quite a bit, having this format and outlet as something was life-saving for me. Re: "is there enough going on for 3x a week" - absolutely. There's even so much more. I applaud the girls for trying to stay within 21 mins, then 29 mins, and but mostly much longer. Since I mostly listen and not watch, I don't mind the length, and long-form content is my preference. The community is stellar and the devotion is paying off. I would agree - a more generic, top-level "here's 5 mins of farcaster" version for those who are less patient, and maybe another "only beginners" version would help new people coming on. The current episodes, from someone starting fresh, are not newbie-friendly and I would not change it.

I’m glad to hear there’s enough going on — that should give me something to really dig into as I become more familiar
