It previews the April monthly newsletter, which will also discuss Maine. The "Weekly(?)" in "ElectoramaNews Weekly(?)" is because I don't imagine I'll publish it weekly if I don't find a co-host. I'm okay with rotating co-hosts, but if I rely on that, I want to build up a queue of volunteers. Since the monthly ElectoramaNews newsletter is due out this week, I plan to focus on that rather than recording another weekly videocast. Tom Cavin volunteered to join me as co-host for the first version, and that worked out really well, but Tom only volunteered to join me for the first week week (and he's done his tour of duty). The first edition took longer than I had hoped to produce, but I think I know how to streamline the process a bit. My hope is that my co-host and I can coordinate asynchronously over the course of a week (agreeing on an outline for our conversation, including a few scripted portions). We can then have a 90-minute video call to record one or two 20-minute takes. After the call, I lightly edit the raw recording and publish it. If you want to volunteer, send me an email saying so! Regardless if you want to co-host, I would love you to join a special ElectoramaCall happening on Wednesday, April 29 at 2pm Pacific Time. Depending on who shows up, we'll either be discussing videocast plans, electoral news generally, or something random. You can the call join by visiting https://electorama.com/videocall and follow the instructions there. I'd appreciate it if you RSVP'd, either by email or Discord (see https://electorama.com/discord for Discord instructions). But an RSVP isn't fully necessary, at least this week.
