Opinion

The introduction did a nice job of setting up who the show is for as did your description. The opening segment had the words "defund" and "Police" and under normal circumstances, I would've pressed stop right there. I get enough of that discussion in the mainstream news, and I personally turn to podcasts to niche down and get away from things that I get in the mainstream. It just filled my heart and brain with "oh no... here it comes..."

Knowing Rhonda, I understand she is reading the opening introduction, but for me, this seemed unnatural. The other thing (and this may be me listening through the ears of a podcaster) the audio seem over-compressed that made it a tad "boomy" and her breathes were somewhat exaggerated. Her guests had a somewhat hissy connection, and the two side bu side only made the differences more obvious. There isn't much you can do when it comes to guests.

The other thing that sent my brain wondering is Rhonda asked the guest to explain his green zone, and in my opinion, his elevator pitch needs some work. The other issue I had happening goes back to the opening clip. I'm waiting for this guy to bring up the police, and I'm just dreading it. So my own internal thoughts are competing with a not so great elevator pitch. When he started to talk about cyberbullying it got a bit more interesting. I'm not sure why, but this just didn't hold my attention. It might be that I'm just not your target audience (a female student or their Mom).

I might find some of my target audience and ask them to spell bullybuster and see if they spell with or without a space. My knee jerk reaction is bully buster.

Description

here are over a million podcasts out there, and only Zack Robidas has listened to every last one of them. Every Monday, he’ll highlight a great new or lesser-known pod. He’ll talk to the host, play the best clips, and bring you a one of a kind conversation you won't get anywhere else.

Website

http://www.thepodspotter.com

Opinion

There was a weird double-intro that included not one, but two segments of "Music for the sake of nothing." You have over 1 million podcasts to listen to and you are going to lead with "What happened to McDonald's Pizza?" While I appreciate picking a not-so-known podcast, I'm not sure I care what happened to McDonald's pizza. You had me intrigued, but when you started play clips with pretty bad audio, you lost me.

Comments on Yes And Murder?

888-563-3228

Description

When a series of murders happen at the comedy theatre, Improv Connecticut, eternal slacker Brenda must step up to find justice, and clear her good name. Narrative podcast.

Website

https://www.yesandmurderpodcast.com/

Opinion

For me most Audio dramas have too slow a pace. They have great production, and take advantage of the stereo space more than other podcasts. Yes and Murder is no exception to this trend. While you somewhat hooked me in with Brenda basically being caught on film doing a murder I thought, "so how is she going to get out of this." The next scene is a flashback to one of the murders, and it was OK, but the "scree" thing had me confused, and when you started rolling around on the floor in his blood, I just got confused and it pulled me out of the theater in my head in my own brain asking, "Why would anyone do that?" The production is good, the story moves a bit slow to me. Think of your story without the sound effects. Then make the sound effects icing on the cake.

Comments on The Gaming Outsider?

888-563-3228

Description

The Gaming Outsider Podcast is a show dedicated to video gaming of all kinds with a focus on the community. Here at The GO, we don't subscribe to just one platform, and we realize that we don't have the ability to play every game that's out there. Our goal is to discuss ours and our listener's perspectives on current and former games that we have played while keeping a positive environment.

Website

https://thegamingoutsider.com/

Opinion

I loved that you had a Patron open the show with a great table of contents. That was a great start. Then we had a boatload of music for the sake of nothing. Then you did a nice intro of the show. So you had two great intros. One for the episode, and the other for the show. Just lose the 30 seconds of music. Then you did a good job of introducing people and keeping moving (no weird tangents or people trying way to hard to be funny), then you wanted to do some shout outs to people. The bottom line is people just need to hear their name ( I know because I still get giddy when someone says "Dave Jackson" on a show). You went into a fair amount of detail and then took a turn into how to make toast, jam, etc. Had you just got into the gaming talk this (minus the extended dance version of your music) would've been great. But you not only went into "Toast Talk" but you went deep and started talking lemon juice, etc. I don't remember seeing that as one of the things the show was about.

So, tidy up your intro and shorten the music, and get to the game talk quicker (and put the toast talk at the end for the super fans).

Special thanks to Tory Heinritz of the Blacklist Exposed for gifting this review.

Opinion

You need to work on your description. It does not make me want to listen. Who is this for? What can I expect? The music at the beginning needs to go or put some voice over it explaining what the show is about. I felt like I was walking into the middle of a slow-moving conversation. Why not do a recap of the last episode to bring me up to speed. If I need to listen from episode 1, you should let me know. I felt the story moved painfully slow, and I had no idea what anyone was talking about. The narrator let me know someone was in a prison, but other than that I was lost. Don't assume everyone has listened to the previous episodes, and if they need to, be sure to let the audience know. Also, make sure you have plenty of story. The story should be able to stand on its own without the sound effects. The sound effects should enhance the story. The sound effects should not be the story. It was well-produced, but I was confused storywise.

Comments on The Retrozest Podcast?

888-563-3228

Description

This is podcast wherein we have a ZEST for all things RETRO! Join your host Curtis Lanclos as he picks a subject about anything RETRO-related (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Video Games, Toys, Pop Culture, etc.) and provides commentary which is interesting and entertaining. Enjoy the nostalgia!

Website

http://www.retrozest.com/

Opinion

The show starts off well (although there is some low-end hum/noise at the beginning but I'm being picky). You had a little "Music for the sake of nothing..." and then get into a very well researched, and well-produced history of AC/DC. That is great except for one thing. The title isn't "The history of AC/DC" it is supposed the be the history/behind the scenes of Back in Black. If you think about the audience, they are either younger people doing research or (probably more likely) older people reliving their youth.

For me, an avid AC/DC fan, I was bored with the history as I already knew it. I was four minutes in and instead of finding out cool facts about Back in Black I'm learning about the housing of Bon Scott. Do I need to know where Bon grew up to appreciate Back in Black (I don't think so)? The album sold 50 million copies, I think we can jump right to "The band had hit new heights with Highway to Hell and then the singer choked on vomit. They weren't sure what to do. Would they accept a new singer? And then get to the "behind the scenes" of Back in Black.

So it may be that I'm not the target audience (as I know too much about AC/DC) and someone who has a more general "radio only" knowledge of AC/DC might've been more sucked in with the history lesson.

Mentioned in this episode Secrets of Dynamic Communications: Prepare with Focus, Deliver with Clarity, Speak with Power by Ken Davis, and Storyworthy ( a MUST READ for all storytellers) by Matthew Dicks.

Website

Opinion

I liked the way the show starts with a nice tease. Your intro sounded very different to me and I would consider re-recording your intro as your first recording was great, and the intro you sound a bit muffled and a bit of room reverb. You do a great job of asking a great first question to get the guest going in the right direction. She really likes talking about moving. I liked the stats she had to share. Myself (not being in OT) was getting a little bored with the "Moving is good" discussion, but you made some great points going from age group to age group.

My other worry is your title and the "cute" spelling. I would find someone who doesn't know your show. Tell them the name, and ask them what they would type into an app to find it. My guess is its not OT 4 Lyfe, but OT for life. You might consider a more "normal" spelling, and also consider buying a domain (www.coolerwebsites.com) to point at the website so that no matter what people type in for the website they end up on your website.

All in all, a good first impression especially for OT professionals.

Opinion

I like your passion, and when you came on mic, you sounded great. Your intro is pretty much unusable. I can't hear you. Your audio sounds like you're in a cave. then yo started your show with an apology. I love that you care so much for your audience, but this is a horrible way to start an episode. Put this at the end where your super loyal listeners are still listening (and who will be interested in your apology, and your awesome business update). The new person tuned in to hear what a tribe is. Once you got to that, you had some good content. I just had to sit through an apology, and a humble brag for five minutes to get to it. There are many other little things that need tweaking on this show that could really boost its growth and he could benefit from a Full Podcast Review.

Description

A podcast where we talk about one software bug each episode!

Website

https://thatsabug.podbean.com/

Opinion

For a new show, you're headed in the right direction and got right to the good stuff. The only thing I would fix is you introduced the episode (Google Maps issue) but you didn't introduce the show "Welcome to That's a Bug where we talk about one software bug each episode." Also it sounds like you're both using the same mic. This makes it somewhat sound like you're recording in a tunnel and your volume is a little low (this leaves the door open for hiss). Try to record where -12 is a fairly normal level to be hitting on the meters. You can buy a domain (as well as WordPress hosting) at www.coolerwebsites.com or just put your podbean feed into PodPage

Website

https://laist.com/podcasts/servant-of-pod.php

Opinion

If this wasn't a Hank Green interview, I'm not sure I would give it the thumbs-up. This is a case where I'm assuming Hank Green is going to bring great content because everything that guy does turns to gold. The intro music at the beginning, get it out of here as it serves no purpose. Then you did an introduction of Hank. Then you did the two promos.

I really expected the interview to start there and you came back and gave us the backstory of Hank. All of this is super well produced. I was kind of like, let's get to the interview. Enough with the soft jazz. Let's listen to what Hank had to say.

Also is this whole thing going to be soundscape with music and, you know, 15 seconds of nothing?. I did want to hear the rest of this. Realize that Nick is a writer. So he is somewhat out of his element here, not so much telling stories, but he's probably not used to being behind the mic. And I see where he did an episode on Stitcher being sold and making music for podcast. Some of these episodes are explicit.

I will go ahead and start the clock now to see how long it takes before Nick is opening up some sort of educational wing to teach people how to podcast so that's my thoughts on Servant of Pod with Nic quad if you would like your show, right here on the podcast rodeo show super simple. Go over to podcast rodeo show calm want a full review, podcast review show don't have a podcast School of podcasting calm. Thanks so much for tuning in until we meet again, this is Dave Jackson from the School of podcasting comm reminding you to always enjoy your ride
