Livestream processing?
-
Something Austin PatrickB and I have been discussing recently is livestreaming any time we process. The idea would be that we would just hit the go-live button any time we are planning on making anything in the studio kitchen. We would then have a large screen hung up with the chats showing so I could occasionally look up and see if there are questions. We figure this might be a good chance for people to ask questions on what/why we are doing things. It wouldn’t take anything other than buying a large tv/monitor to hang and maybe 10 minutes of setup each time.
The problem would be that we often make last-minute decisions on when/what to make so it wouldn’t always be planned.
Interest or no? It really wouldn’t make things more difficult for me and eventually @JohnG5 so if people would get any benefit from it we would do it.

Jonathon I like the idea. Even if we couldn’t see it live, I guess you could add it to the library.
Would it be possible to put either a text or email as part of the setup? And if not a general message, maybe from a signup list for those interested.

Chef Yeah, an email would be possible for sure. I would want to create a list of people from the Meatgistics Community who would want to watch this so I could email them and not just send out a huge email blast to everyone on our list. Most of those people don’t open emails from us even WHEN THEY WIN THE PRIZE! I tried HARD to contact the knife package winner cause he tried hard to enter but he never responded. I even expanded the time alotted for a response…okay I am rambling!
So, an email to a targetted list, they would live on our youtube page for further viewing and if we have the Meatgistics Ap a push notification as well as a link to the page on the top right of waltonsinc.com. Maybe some social media stuff as well? I might go ahead and do this for Thursdays Livestream. It will have to start earlier than normal to be able to get all the way through processing what I am thinking of making. It wouldn’t be every week, it would be more of an as we go thing BUT if this works we could setup some processing days so I can make specific things people are looking for information on.

There are so many nuances to processing I feel like these “processing day” reality streams might be just as beneficial as a traditional how to video. Just watching the magic as it happens without listening to someone read a script and enjoying the casual Walton’s team banter all the while.

Honestly, little interest, you already have many videos showing the processes for many different types of products which have written instruction to accompany them, which I think would have more value than you just live streaming making sausage, jerky, etc. Now if you were doing some new technique or something, it might have some value.

This
Especially addressing a lot of questions that constantly come up here:
I forgot to add this or that, is it still safe?
I forgot to add this or that, should I change the cook schedule, or what will the outcome be?
I forgot to add this or that, can I still correct it?
My casings look or smell funny
Etc.
Don’t be shy about constant repeating the processes and solutions as there is someone new watching every time
Edit to add: these are just suggestions, they may not fit your vision -
Really interested. Would love to get some kind of notification (push,text). Since I am at work during most livestreams, I don’t check my personal email during the day, and miss most of them.
Yes there are already videos and instructions, but it is heavily edited. There are sometimes simple things that we think are common knowledge, but may not be for someone trying something new. Example: me filling bag of jerky meat with water. Would be nice to see the whole process to pick up on the nuances that are common knowledge to most but not everyone.

Not sure if its feasible, but these would be more widely viewed and valuable if they were archived somewhere so they could be replayed on demand. I guess we are talking Youtube again.
