I'm definitely interested in helping you develop this idea. Frankly, I think that the coverage DIYBio gets from the mainstream media is shallow and skewed. Having a little more media from "the inside", so to speak, would be great, not only for bringing the community together, but for letting ourselves become more visible and clear to the public at large.
I'm interested in the format you have in mind for the show. I've watched a few episodes of Brainstorm and I like what you're up to now, but I'm wondering if you have something different planned for the BioHaX project?
While I'm all for the idea of you setting up your own lab and documenting experiments you do personally and with your friends, I wonder if you'd also be willing and able to document some of the work being done elsewhere throughout DIYBio. That's a somewhat daunting task, given our being scattered across the globe, but interviews with active independent scientists would be great.
As for stuff to include in the show, I think it might break down into two general categories:
- Practical Stuff: tutorials, experimental updates, links and resources relevant to DIYBio
- Conceptual Stuff: insights, commentary and news both from within the community, as well as anything that would be relevant to DIYBio.
Oh, I also think Kickstarter would be a fabulous way to get it funded and to spread the word, but before considering putting together a project pitch, we should hash out a lot of details. =)
All the best!

Hello, as some of you may know i recently joined the group and am completely new to this. However finding this community has given me inspiration for a big summer project. I've been making videos on youtube about 4 years, currently i write and edit a science news show called Brainstorm every monday and friday. This summer i would like to start another series called BiohaX. Essentially myself and my friends delving into the world of biohacking. Some episodes would be concise tutorials of standard experiments, hopefully the occasional interview, and updates on original research i'd eventually like to start.So i'd like 4 bits of input from you guys.1. do you think it's a good idea? anything i'm missing?2. how much would it cost? i'm wanting to fund this through Kickstarter and setup a decent lab in my home. would you help fund it?3. is anybody interested in volunteering? mainly research and advisory positions4. anybody more in charge of DIYbio interested in officially promoting the project?I'm extremely passionate about this idea, and hope it could become a real community effort. looking forward to your comments.Q
