In an effort to validate the concepts proposed in #18 and #19 this PR would add a proposal for a future episode. In reality, this episode is going to be episode 2, but I think going through this exercise will be helpful.

There are some open roles so please leave a comment if you want to fill one of them.

If you want to participate in the Q&A section, leave a comment with your question on this PR.

I think at the very least the Review Manager would ensure that the topic meets some guideline. What does a Swift Evolution Review Manager do?

## Source compatibility

This episode fits with the overall theme of the podcast in the following ways:
- sheds light on another Swift community project

perhaps "highlights" instead of "sheds light"?


Brief description of your motivation behind this episode

The Swift Community Podcast is an experiment and is in its infancy and one of the biggest challenges is how to effectively scale the project through adequate community engagement. A codeless open source community may present challenges that are distant from code centric ones and so Bas maybe have some valuable insight into this given his experience with shepherding the Swift Weekly Brief.

I think it is also part of the motivation to increase collaboration and drive contributors to the Brief as well.

So it seems like these URLs work regardless, but both this one and Chris' (in the review manager line) have two forward slashes; I think that should just be one?

Is it too late to volunteer for the editor role? I'm a little bit confused now because the recording date happened before the PR is merged 😅
