Archival note. This document preserves the invitation templates, guest proposals, and production process documentation for the Baseworks Transmission podcast. It predates the current voice conventions and is preserved as a reference. Do not reuse this copy for tone or framing — all new outreach should follow the voice guides at 03-resources/voice-guides/.

Overview

Section titled “Overview”

Baseworks Transmission Conversations is the Baseworks podcast exploring concrete and abstract realizations that emerge from a commitment to practice or pursuit. Episodes feature specialists from various disciplines — athletes, performance artists, educators, scientists, and people who have dedicated extended periods to working in nature.

Production platform: Riverside FM (not Zoom — for separate channel recording and higher quality) Episode length: 60–90 minutes Hosts: Patrick Oancia (EN), Asia Ksenia Shcherbakova (EN/research), Satoko Horie (JP)

Invitation Email Templates

Section titled “Invitation Email Templates”

Three versions exist, each tailored to different hosts and contexts.

Template — EN by Patrick

Section titled “Template — EN by Patrick”

Informal, personal tone. Emphasizes the experiential and reflective nature of the project. Suggests recording in non-studio environments (bike shop, workshop, outdoors). References the Transmission launch with the Yuval Ayalon episode.

Key framing: “the concrete and abstract realizations that emerge from a commitment to any kind of practice or pursuit to achieve life goals.” Production described as “carefully curated roster of collaborators from different, not always so obvious backgrounds.”

Template — JP by Satoko

Section titled “Template — JP by Satoko”

Japanese translation of the core template, adapted for Satoko Horie as host for the Japanese-language Transmission series. Same structure: who we are, proposal, format, tech, outcome. Mentions that English episodes are already being produced by Patrick and that Satoko will host the Japanese conversations.

Template — EN by Asia (Academic Focus)

Section titled “Template — EN by Asia (Academic Focus)”

More formal, research-oriented version for academic contacts. Includes detailed research context (Asia’s neuroscience background, Baseworks as a research platform). Structured topic proposals with space for guest input. References specific papers and research areas to establish credibility. Technical requirements section emphasizes quality standards.

Key addition: “We see this podcast as a form of collaboration with the final goal of making important topics which may be a little too abstract (requiring too many unique categories for understanding) more accessible for the general audience.”

Topics covered: Balancing structure and chaos in movement practices, the concept of structure as a foundation with room for exploration, references to Steven Kotler (flow state) and Alan Watts, and embracing multiple methods and perspectives in movement practices.
