G’day Roarers, to put it bluntly, we’re pretty bloody excited to announce our latest venture: Roar Live.
As The Roar continues to grow, thanks chiefly to our incredible community of readers, contributors and experts (ie. you), we get the opportunity to expand the site into a whole bunch of really cool places.
This week we dipped our toes into the brave new world of live production with the pilot episode of Roar Live.
» Check out Roar Live, our brand new weekly show
It will be a panel show streamed live from our offices every Wednesday afternoon on Facebook, but also available on RoarTV the next day, and finally as a podcast on Soundcloud.
(Or to translate that into corporate-jargon nonsense: a cross-platform, vertically-integrated, hyper-synergised, multi-media native product.)
Each week a rotating panel made up of Roar staffers, experts and sports personalities will answer the big questions facing a particular sport, and finish off with some light-hearted segments that should be a whole lot of fun.
As it’s filmed live, we’d also love for the show to be as interactive as possible – answering your questions and bantering with your opinions, so keep an eye out on the website and on our social media pages to get involved.
We’ll keep you posted with more specific information closer to the date, but things will normally kick off around 5:30pm on a Wednesday on our Facebook page, and if you miss it you can check back on our website, Soundcloud or Facebook after the fact for the whole episode and highlights.
