Gauging Livestream interest

So I'll have the day off work on what will be the 1st of November localtime (East coast Australia), and since apparently I know quite a bit about how it all goes, I'm giving some thought to doing my own livestream of probably going through quest "How to HQ" and some of "Commonwealth Rising", and answering people's questions about how it's "meant" to work live.
Is there enough interest in that to make it worth me figuring out how to set all that up?

EDIT with some additional details:
My planned time would work out to ~48 hours before kinggath's usual weekly stream, and would likely run for at least a couple hours.
I'd be running with my "full load order", not the minimal one.
Yes my mic audio quality is still going to be trash. I'm partly deaf (tinnitus, mostly) and it sounds fine how it is to me, so I can't tell if I'm configuring it right.

Interested? yes. Able to watch? No (partially due to time zone differences (CET time) and partially being AFC due to work trip).
 
I'd definitely be interested, but I might not be awake. I'm in Eastern Standard Time, and have never been awake to catch any of KG's streams live. I always watch them the following day(s) though! I'd be quite interested in seeing your approach to the mod.
 
Are we talking AEDST or AEST, because we're in that weird time of year where one half of Australia is on dst, the other half isn't. Even in Australia, timezones are weird.

I can never remember which is which. I'm in Victoria. The proposed time works out to almost exactly 14 days from when I am writing this post. I was going to start at about the same time of day kg does.

Here is a time zone converter. KG usually starts at around 4 in the morning my time which would be 14.00 your time.
On 1 November Europe will be on normal time (UTC +1) while the US still is on summer time (UTC -4 for NY.)..

Victoria is currently on daylight savings time. You're approximately one hour ahead of me (I'm in Qld), as we don't have daylight savings time.

Currently, as an easy way to figure it out based on a map, Australian states and territories that have land north of the Tropic of Capricorn (so Western Australia, Northern Territory, Queensland) don't do daylight saving. (All land in the state observes the no-daylight savings, not just the land north of the Tropic).
(It ain't as bad as some counties of Indiana being in a different time zone to the others...)

yaugie said he was in Victoria, so he means AEDT (UTC+11).

Well, the location wasn't mentioned in the first post., hence my question
 
Alright, hopefully I got this right, this is the date/time I was planning on it. I only have so much flexibility here, can maybe move an hour earlier at the most, and I'd be going for at least a couple hours.
 
Streams that are broadcast on Twitch are saved for replay (called video on demand, or VOD for short). If you can't watch the stream live, then that is always an option
