Skypecast or Radio-show?

I don't like the idea of playing SP-lectures during skypecasts - That's not what the medium is meant for. It's a bit like cheating: a Skypecast is a live-discussion where all participants are alive, now, at this time, on this planet. What you are suggesting is an online radio show. That's fine, but why produce a radio-show under the guise of a skypecast? Better find a live-person who can promote such radio-shows or SP lectures for download during a skypecast. If we don't have such a person, let's find one.

The idea to promote KC by all means, by hook or by crook, backfired already: it didn't help ISKCON's image in the public, and neither will such fake skypecasts, I'm afraid.

I think it's ok to talk about topics not directly related to KC, without mentioning up front that we are devotees. That should be done by devotees who have a genuine interest in the topic (yoga, vegetarianism, new-age, etc.). They should be able to sustain a discussion, even without referring to SP books & sastra in every 2nd sentence, though. That eventually such discussion will lead to vaisnava philosophy is unavoidable - it's the logical conclusion of every topic. But again, that should be done in a way that doesn't leave people with the impression they have been tricked into talking to someone they didn't want to talk to.

ys phani.
