Questions for Viewers of Coffee With Kish

[Kishkumen]

Interval of Episodes - My favorite series is Little Chinese Everywhere. That is more of a travel adventure/geography educational program and features the best cinematography and editing on YouTube, so it only comes out once a week on Fridays.

Talk programs can come out more often. Once you get your audience established viewers from around the world can tune in whenever convenient.

Length of Episodes - It would depend on the guest and topic. At least 10 minutes and no more than two hours.

Guests - Don't think you could find someone more well-spoken than Dr. Scratch. I think you would really hit it off with Steven Pynakker of Mormon Book Reviews. He is kind and thoughtful like you. Sort of the opposite of Cardon Ellis.

These are all great ideas, Moksha. I will check out the series you recommend. I agree with you when you praise Dr. Scratch's mastery of the English language. He is a fascinating and engaging read every time. I also agree with your praise of Steven. He is one of my favorite YouTubers of the non-LDS Christians who study Mormonism, along with MsJack, who is such a wonderful and super-smart person.

I tried to tackle a former Deputy Prime Minister who has a blog and sometimes engages with a Biblical scholar on issues of the Bible I have been reading as much as I can the books by Bart Ehrman and some by Peter Enns. Misquoting Jesus, Forged and Lost Christianities.

Is there really a revival of God? Millennials have been leaving religion in droves. Would love to have a discussion one day about Song of Solomon which a Old Testament lect told me was an erotic Hebrew love poem. I think in the Inspired Version (Smith) it was considered pornographic?

In the resurrection accounts of the IV Smith inserts TWO angels sitting on the rock.

I am especially intrigued by your last bit about the two angels, Noel. What are your thoughts on that?

In one early episode it went a bit long, and when you went to take a sip of your coffee it had gone cold, and you expressed disappointment. I was happy in a later long episode that it seemed to still be warm enough for it to be enjoyable. I pay for YouTube Premium and often listen as a podcast while walking the dog as that is when I have the most time.

Digressions can be good, and it feels like you are trying to be accessible to a wide audience, but agree that it can pay off to keep focus and know that you don't have to cover everything about something in one episode. 1-2 times a week would work for me, but it would depend on the length of the episode. I think aiming for 30-45 minutes seems like it would suit what you are doing so far.

Yeah, sometimes my moods impact my perception. In a good mood, I can enjoy it regardless of the temperature. I still prefer it in the first 10 minutes best.

I pay for that too, but, oddly, not on the account that I have the channel on. I go on a morning walk, and that is when I do much of my podcast listening.

Thank you, Dwight! I am definitely trying to appeal to as wide an audience as I can. My hope is that anyone who is interested in Mormonism, curious about it, not just as a pro- or anti-LDS person, will find it enjoyable and informative. Thank you for these suggestions. They are right in the zone of what I am looking to do. I may switch up 15-minute ones and 30-45-minute ones. I will try to not go on too many tangents, or at least do a better job of explaining why I am going on what seems to be a tangent, but I am happy that you are OK with some digressions.

Yes. Some topics need only 15 minutes or less. Others need two hours - literally - because the claims are bold, and therfore it is always wise to present the justifications, regardless of how long it takes. A half hour is the sweet spot however. I try to make my BYP Responds about 1/2 hour. Lately I have taken on some BIG guns, Rabbi Tovia Singer, President Russell M. Nelson, Ward Radio (so much of their claims are just plain KOOKIE!!! But Cardon is actually fun and funny) and CWIC Media (Greg is an all right guy however) and have had to stretch it in order to air my justification for my own claims. But, 1/2 hour is premium.
I want you on my show again and we can talk about your channel also. When we can help you get 1000 subscribers and you get monetized, only videos of 8 minutes or longer are eligible for monetization. Anything less than 8 minutes doesn't get ad revenue. So practice making things at least 8 minutes and you won't have any transition to worry about.

If you started with Vietnamese iced coffee, it could only get warmer. So tasty that you would probably drink all of it and then let the ice melt.

Going on a few other programs, like Kerry suggested, to help drum up a steady audience sounds like a good idea.



How does Midnight Mead with Moksha sound for a podcast?
I like Coffee with Kish much better.

Thanks for these tips and for all of your help, BYP! You are a master in this arena. You and RFM are very talented at what you guys do on your respective channels. I have a lot to learn from you both. Thank you for all of your work to bring these great videos to us all.
