One thing I really enjoyed while making the Audio Book Club Shaves podcasts was the coordinated group shaves.
It's different from Theme Thursdays in that it needs prep. In essence:
It sounds more complicated than it is, and it creates a strong group event feeling.
It would also have the spillover effect you mentioned over to Reddit in the form of @walden@sub.wetshaving.social's, @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social's, @sahenders@sub.wetshaving.social's, @whosgotthepudding@sub.wetshaving.social's and my SOTD posts (assuming they'd participate) because we still regularly post in both forums.
Thoughts?
That sounds extremely cool!
Should we give it a go in July?
The only concern I have is that quite a few of us might do AA so after one edition, there would already be a break, but that's a minor obstacle
Let's do this!
And a pause in August is not that much of an issue, IMO. Eversthing shuts down in August.
How should we procede for nominating a soap?
How about we choose a working title (wetshaving.social, maybe?) and sketch out the idea in a stand-alone post to get everyone's input?
Basically, we need to agree on
What do you think?
👍
Can I rope you into running point on this? 😇
Yes youecan!
❤️
RIP ABC

Great idea! I'm in!
Fantastic! This is going to be fun!
I think that this is an excellent idea. To show activities over here that are attractive to the typical r/wetshaving nerd.
Yay, I think this is going to be fun!
Ha, I never knew how that worked. I just heard "podcast" and assumed you all shaved together during the podcast like those fellas on YouTube sometimes.
I like this a lot more than that option!
Oh yeah, we shaved together on the podcast. I'm proposing a less involved adaptation of the concept for the lemmy 😅
