Will the Unseen Podcast ever be live?
Maybe. We're still toying with the idea of using Google Hangouts on Air to present a live show. The visual content would not be much - jut talking heads for the most part, but it is a way to go live. Of course, we would continue to post the audio as a podcast. The audience could potentially ask questions, using the hangout Q&A feature.
