For every month there isn't a video episode, I will release a screencast/video tutorial for a concept in javascript robotics. These will be released 3 days early to backers like everything else. I'll get ideas for the tutorials from backers and viewers :D.

I run the NodeBots Live! Podcast. I work at Bocoup and wear robot clothing more often than most folks.

So we've done three impromptu NodeBots: Live! episodes: two at JSConf 2014/2015 and one at RobotsConf 2014. But I'd like to make this more regular.

I'm hoping to produce one 30-minute audio segment every month, to start. My first two goals involve equipment and professional audio editing-- I will do audio episodes each month regardless, but they'll sound so much nicer with someone editing them that knows what they're doing!

If we reach the third goal, I'd like to do an extra video episode every other month. The video segments would be for demos and discussions that are visually engaging, while the audio podcast would spread information about what's coming up in the NodeBots world. I'm also excited to interview a bunch of folks in the NodeBots community-- especially those who can't make it out to our conference tapings.

I have *nearly no* equipment for podcasting: a half-decent headset for recording audio. I have *absolutely 0* audio/video editing skills. So I'd like to raise money for equipment and to hire an editor that knows what they're doing. If we get beyond the goals, I'll think of new ones: mostly around supporting NodeBots education and creating more content.

I'm hoping to start the audio episodes in July. If we hit the video episodes stretch goal, I will start them one or two months after the goal is hit, so I will have the money to pay the video editor.
