CSC's Attempt at a Podcast

I might have used Rip It Up or something, if it had to be the Stones. Other than that, I loved it. Nice effects. Can’t wait to call in and blow up your little show, Dave! I listened twice.

If this is in any way easier than typing cutting and pasting you should do it, absolutely.

Tech note: No plug in available for Firefox, had to switch to IE8 (also known as Slow Fat POS8). (I refuse to use QuickTime, it’s buggy and malware prone, but that wasn’t even an option as a plug-in)

NO voters need to say why. Is Dave’s neutral Long Island accent off-putting?
Does he speak too fast for the average listener to follow? (As opposed to Ralph, who tends to belabor the point, I think)

I think you are going to have do to it a few times with actual Saints related content to get a feel for whether or not it is something to continue doing. And if not, at least we tried.

My question is how is the content on the podcast going to be different enough from the typed posts to make people click and listen? Is it going to be even more opinionated? Podcast exclusive content?

Stu: there is a Quicktime plug-in for Firefox, mine worked fine with the podcast.

You have a good voice and good rate of speech for this, and for having not much content, it didn’t seem like you were reaching or filling, or anything like that, and you didn’t stammer too much or repeat yourself. Having an Okie/Kansan like Stu on would make a nice contrast (like Jim Hendersen with Hokie on wwl), or maybe a cajun with a Y’at accent.

And the format of recapping the “week that was” for the Saints/CSC, then talking about what’s coming up on CSC makes good sense to me. Adding listener call-ins to expound or further question would make for a nice little 15-20-30 minute show, I think.

I cringe at hearing the sound of my own voice on tape, so I’d be a bit hesitant to actually call in…but if there was a way to email or IM questions in to the show in real time, I’d definitely do that. And if it ran once a week or every other week, or whatever, I’d also definitely listen to it every time.

How exactly would the co-host deal work? Would said co-host have to be “in studio” with you?

Great work and a fine production, overall. The effects were well-timed, humorous, and didn’t overwhelm your voice at all.

After I click on POST, I’m going to vote for abso-freakin-lutely on your poll.

Well done, little grasshopper.

i liked it. you did a good job and i’d listen into it. i like the idea of adding a cohost, i think it will help things if you’re not just discussing things in 1 POV but 2, sorta like mike and mike just more centered on the saints. call ins would be cool. I think it will be better when the season actually starts or just the draft and training camp also. there will be more to talk about then. also think they will be great for right after the game or the day after the game and for special events such as signings, draft, arrests. I hope we do it more in training camp because there will be more to talk about and you/we can get a feel for how we like it. also, i agree that it needs to be different than just the posts that are on here, like podcast only coverage. last thing, maybe you could do halftime podcasts somehow or at the end of each quarter, like a live reporter. idk if you could be there but i think it’d be cool

Not evil, like, I dunno, dissing the Falcons. That would be bad.

I would love to right a long “Pat on the Back” paragraph about how eliquient your voice is or how insightful the message was, or whatever, but that sounds, let’s say…….. GirlyMan. Let’s just do the pod cast and ……move on.
