From what I've listened to, women are grossly, grossly outnumbered in the podcast culture. Like, Christina-Applegate-in-Anchorman outnumbered. The very few women I have heard on podcasts are usually one half of a "couple cast", which are hardly the most interesting and entertaining podcasts.

I was just kidding. I have just been ranting privately t he last several days about well... being who I am and doing what I do and how all of a sudden I feel the burden of being what I am. it kinda sucks. 
BUT I think any "couple cast"ing that Mac and myself would ever do would be a frickin' laugh riot. So poo poo to you.

I know.  But seriously, podcasts do need a bit more estrogen.

I don't know what the FUCK you just said, but you're special, you reached out, and you touch a brother's heart.

Oh I don't doubt it. I think it'd be the Wrestlemania of film review.  But the "couple casts" out there are all like cheek-pinchingly lame, that I've heard. |

but it has to be the right kind of estrogen, else it doesn't work.
My professor really wants me to do this, but... I don't know yet.

OK!!! So like I just came downstairs at like 3:33AM because I woke up and had this really great idea. (see.... even when I sleep I just can't get away!!!)
How about like... we do it Ebert and Roeper style and have the podcast from the whole week downloadedable or whatever, but then also offer up it sectionalized. So like this:
Whole Show
40 Year-Old Virgin
Red-Eye
Dukes of Hazzard
And we can like split the show, but keep like some sort of intro order and ending comments as well. I don't know... just a thought and now I am so going back to bed because I'm exhausted.

That's an interesting idea. It would have to be redundant files, though... There's no way to just tell a podcast feed: "Stitch these files together." So there would be a file of the full podcast, and then files for each of the segments.
What if we provide the clips ONLY for the most recent podcast? As they get archived, only the full podcasts are made available. That's the best way I can think of doing it right now without hugantic ginormic storage space.
P.S. I went back through my Search History and found the podcast host I've been looking at. Here 'tis:
https://www.libsyn.com/
Found it from this site, which lists a few other hosts too. |

yeah, like.. you record the whole thing, then chop it up later. and yeah... after that week or whatever, delete the pieces and backlog only full shows.
or like... you mean when you do a podcast... we couldn'dt say... tack on an intro and conclusion? to the chopped pieces? or like.. maybe we could like through playing the hcopped up version as a recorded mp3. Mac know what's I'm talking about...

Yes, that's what I'm talking about.

its the pain killers I swear!!!
When I d/led the thing from myspace, it d/led as an MP3. I know we can splice up MP3s, so what I'm asking is... if we splice up the show into the little sections, are we going to be able to tack on the ending and conclusions to the show to each section or should we think of something else.
Mac use to do something like this for his show, so I'm sure he could explain it better than me.

Ohh... You mean sort of encapsulating the different sections with their own lead-ins. Oh, yeah technically that would be a cinch to do. Not sure how important it would be though, except to plug the site--in which case, yeah might be kinda useful.  |

Nerves conquered. I apparently am a laugh-frickin'-riot... well... maybe. We'll see. Hopefully these will start to roll out.

Ok, now that we've got a handful of podcasts under the belt, what can we do to improve?
Personally, I'd like to hear us trim up our movie reviews a bit... I think it's fun to listen to, but at the same time it may get rather monotonous talking about two movies for 40 minutes. Ebert & Roeper are able to get six into 20 minutes... Not saying we have to be just like Ebert & Roeper, but at the same time, it works for them, so why not us?
I wonder, do we have to all see & discuss the same movies each week? maybe instead of 3-4 people talking about Movie A and 3-4 people talking about Movie B, have 2 apiece talk about Movies A, B, and C (and even D). With a little more planning, I think we could probably narrow choices down to the two people who have the opinions most interesting & complimentary of one another. Maybe not necessary, but eh.
Also, since it's so hard to find big news stories right now, talking about more, smaller stories with less time dedicated to each. I'm even fine with ditching my News in Briefs column, if nobody cares for it. With respect to the news, I'd like to keep it less structured & formal, more of a roundtable thing. (Again, I cite http://www.thisweekintech.com as an example.)
Those are just my own impressions. More important, I think, is the impressions of those who are listening & not necessarily participating. What do you all think? |

well, upon listening to ebert and roeper, how much of their show is dedicated to plot summary and how much is dedicated to actually talking about the movie? They just kinda glaze over the film, give it a rating and off they go. Is that what you really want to do?
Only improvements I see are making them more organized pre-show so the actual show will flow better.

Yes, certainly. That's exactly why I wrote...

I'm just saying, y'know, maybe there's a balance between 20-40 minutes per movie and 3-4 minutes per movie. Say, 10-15 minutes per movie?

I dunno... If we do it more roundtable, more impromptu, might that make it a better listen in its own ways? And at the same time not forcing us into a week's worth of pre-planning per episode?
But again, I'm more interested to know what listeners think & want improved. Granted, at this point "listeners" are comprised more or less of other staff members, but still. |
