From what I've seen in all of my podcasting viewing years...this doesn't work out in the long run. typically meaning the ending of a show :( Doing 5 episodes a week instead of one/two a week has ruined/killed a few shows. In fact most have moved from the 1 a day to 1 a week to allow for real life to occur. Granted many of them tried shooting 5 daily's in one day and that typically failed.

 

Being that this isn't a daily news show I don't see the need for daily episodes.

 

Maybe you can release on youtube as five episodes and do RSS feeds of either one full length episode, or two half episodes. With the one episode containing 5 ads and the two episodes containing 2 ads each. This gives people three options of how to view. (5) 10 minute episodes roughly, (2) 25 minute episodes roughly. or (1) 50 minute episode roughly.

I prefer longer format shows but also think breaking it up would be easier to find specific projects and information after the fact as well as raise engagement and discoverability on youtube to increase viewership and the community. Hopefully if it does go daily the shows end up not being too short or rushed. Even with the current format sometimes i feel it seems rushed for some projects. An example that comes to mind for me would be the avoidance collision sensor segment. It would have been nice to see a working model using a whole string of lights. The limit to how many leds can be run before requiring external power. A way too have it activated by motion or maybe from the garage door opening and shutting off when it closes. Run 2 sensors off 1 Arduino and lights. Make your own multi pixel stick animation of some sort. Like a blinking stop sign. Maybe a followup will be done with what you ended up doing for your parents but may be a while down the road. Followups are nice but sometimes if the show is watched after the fact or is found on youtube they may never find or see followup episodes. I think I will take on this project myself and add on some of these features and share with the community which im sure if what your going for. Learning on our own is great and geeking out on it for weeks will be a blast but sometimes its nice to see a project from beg to end product in use.
