New Show! Part 2 | In Depth look

One thing everyone around the world now shares is common, is the universal truth that a giant industry exists to filter out our lives make sure we only hear and see what they want us to.

For many of us there have been watershed events that force us to really see this in it’s entire scope.

Once faced with this hard truth, I was left with only one thing to do. To start a new show, and unfilter our lives. And I’m going to tell you all about it – In this week’s episode of an In Depth Look!

Metalfreak, from the JBLIVE chatroom and an active member in our subreddits will join me, and frequent JB hosts will stop by to share something from their corner of the world.

And maybe a few surprises!

When?

When it’s ready! After we get TORked launched, its the next show out of the gate. We’re still putting some of the final bits in place, but expect to hear more soon!

    My 2 cents: this is going to be really terrible if:
    1) It’s all conspiracy theories.2) It’s overly-speculative, under-researched, unjournalistic.3) It’s pure regurgitation of other bloggers / news sources.Maybe a mini-show… maybe. Any more and you’d need to hire a full-time researcher (or several). Do it yourself on top of research for the other shows? No way. You might find an audience, but it won’t be the audience you want to attract. It’s going to be the Bill O’Reilly crowd at best.

    the worries are many. But the whole thing is promising.
    I don’t think chris is a conspiracy nut, his opinions are always balanced.

    As for the under-researched problems , that’s a possibility, because chris does like 7 shows now.
    Here are a couple of ideas to avoid that:

    Set up a private wiki/forum or something and enroll voluntary contributors.
    It’s shouldn’t be public , because you need to remove the noise of public  discussion / useless comments and s and jokes .  In Other words , only have qualified contribution.

    Should limit access to:

    1.people above 16yrs age.
    2.people with some real knowledge in some field (ask for a cv, do an interview)
    3.people committed in giving you a couple of hours a week for no pay. Perhaps a little recognition in the show, and the warm feeling of being part of something.
     
    to chris:
    This said,you need to control the editorial line and keep it tight. You are a great host, and can deliver  a good show (the mispronounced words are nothing… :-) ), just don’t think you can get all the content and all the editorials on your own. THat would be impossible ,and even if you pulled it off, it would be less than what it could be.

    Conspiracy comes from the latin “Con-spirare” which means, “to breathe together”. :-)

  • Giocapalbo

     btw, the “special contributors” should be making, the “concentrated show” that should had been obvious.

  • Hanshotfirst

    Definitely diggin’ the new show idea. Just look out for the 9/11 Truthers and NWO crazies.

    P.S.: watching you film yourself while driving made me nervous… don’t do that bro!

    All good feedback. We’re going to be careful, and keep tweaking the show based on what you guys think!

    I’m liking it Chris. I really hope this show is not based in any particular perspective right or left but just based in freedom. I think right and left are dinosaurs, its all about freedom and diversity of thoughts and opinions. The more voices the better the chance as a society we come to the right conclusions. Welcome to the fight!!!

    Excited about this one!!!

    If you are centering a show around conspiracy theories, be prepared to be called an extremist. Some people will never have enough courage or resistance to believe that governments can do bad things. If you go against the main stream ideas in America, people generally don’t like it and won’t forget this. 

    Financially it could be a bad mistake. What if you say the wrong thing about someone’s favorite congressman who wants to reinstate the draft or the city council member who wants to keep fluoride in the drinking water? Any possible donor to your show may be insulted by what you report/say. On the other hand, if this is marketed right, it may work out quite well for you and you may increase donations and listenership to your network.

    Dan Douglas,

    Do you really think the billo crowd are young people who use linux or play STO? Most of the viewers I know who watch las, techsnap, faux are,  young and like linux. Most of the people who watch billo are old, feel as if they know everything, feel sophisticated (but are not), want to be told what to think instead of thinking, feel the republicans do everything correctly and democrats are terrible people. 

    good luck!

    “techsnapp” you are using red herrings throughout your comment. People who are skeptical of a given conspiracy theory do not do so simply because they believe a government can do no wrong. Let’s not oversimplify the subject here.

    Another red herring is with the current Jupiter Broadcasting audience. “Most of the viewers I know who watch las, techsnap, faux are young and like linux.” Just because there is a current demographic reached by Chris now does not mean that can’t change in the future, or how this new show can’t have a new core audience who are disinterested in the other shows offered. Again, this is oversimplifying the subject here.

    Plus, that last red herring was just you basing the argument on a strawman you concocted for Dan Douglas. Dan Douglas didn’t say it would only be “people who watch billo”. He only used that as an example, but  obviously was speaking on a larger group of people as a whole.Chris never said anything about “centering a show around conspiracy theories”, although it might not be out of line if they do show up just by covering all positions of a given news story. This even happens on normal television news. Even if he does make something like Jupiter Files, but extends it outside the alien/cryptozoo genre your argument doesn’t counter anything Dan brought up.

    Fluoride? Really? I can think up of an argument against that conspiracy without reverting to: But our government is our fairy godmother that we shall trust without falter!

  • techsnapp

    you’re right.

  • BenvonH

    Chris, you are a great host and you know how to put together a good show, but this is a massive commitment.  I love the concept, don’t get me wrong, but it will take a ton of work, especially since it is different from anything else you air at the moment and because the scope is so huge.  The goal as presented, to “un-filter” all corporate media, is an enormous challenge.  If you think you can pull it off that’s great, but I would suggest trying to narrow the focus down just a little.

    Un-filter is a very general name and you could spin it in many different ways.  You can be un-filtering reporting bias, as in bringing to light things that the media is not reporting on at all.  Yet this would be extremely hard, since you would have to actually go out and do original hands on research, which is something that I don’t think you have that much experience with and would require a HUGE budget and tons of time.  Personally, I think a better type of un-filtering would be critical analysis of the spin the media puts on stories, and discussion about which facts they emphasize and which facts they seem to neglect or consider unimportant.  Also, since you guys already do it so well, it might be could to incorporate a bit of a focus on technology and related stories.  The main thing though is that I think you should stay away from trying to do your own base level reporting.  It would take too much time and money, and if you screw up something you just end up looking like an ass.

    Anyway, do what you want to do and good luck!

    I’ve given this a lot of thought, you’ve basically got it. I plan to talk about this a bit in the first episode.

    Chris I like to see you branch out into new shows, and I will definitively tune in. 

    However, What I like Jupiter Broadcasting is that it fun and friendly. Please be careful not to let it get too heavy and serious. It’s not your style.

    Outstanding! Just be aware that Big Sis will be watching you!  More importantly,  take care that GoDaddy doesn’t abandon you!  Also, I’ve lost several friends and made even more uncomfortable talking about such issues.  Many people do not like to be reminded that there is a world outside their comfort zone.  Despite the risks, you and the Misses produce great shows and if it fails to do what you need it too or if it becomes burdensome you can always discontinue it and make a few episodes of “Beer is Tasty, but Whiskey Removes All Worries!”
