Pipercub Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 You polled your listeners and they told you "more of the same" because they are the ones who stuck with you. Missing from those results are the people who quit because it's too. damn. long. I have tried many long podcasts, and always abandon them, RGR included, in favor of tightly planned, more concise episodes or publishers who break things up. Unlike some of your listeners, my listening time is finite, and I don't give it out indiscriminately -- there's too much good stuff out there for me to waste time on formats I don't enjoy. This is just my opinion, I'm not trying to be mean or single you out particularly. When I see a massively long podcast, it's a sign to me that it hasn't been edited thoughtfully and probably won't respect my time. So keeping it topical with this thread, we did a long form interview with Eli from Pico and BTB where they were to tell the whole story which answered so much and continues to give Ah-ha moments and also, there were a ton of quick concise talking head youtube episodes and main stream press articles that guessed and speculated almost always incorrectly and provided a ton of false info. Some people enjoy a multi course meal at a upscale restaurant, others want McDonald's drive through, were not serving the junkfood market, we made our choice and stand by it. The majority of the shows I listen to, Penn's Sunday School, Game Escape, Super Podcast Brothers, StopDropandRetro, etc. all take the time needed to tell the story so there is certainly a community for that content. There is some quality short form content too, don't get me wrong, #CUpodcast is very good at entertaining in a concise way. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you're already recording timestamps of each topic, there's probably a program / script that would enable you to split the MP3 into chunks. Then you can provide a .zip of the whole thing for people to throw in a media player. There are ways to do it but we always end up at the same point: The pause button. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I resisted taking the time for the longform Eli tell-all, but I am glad I listened to it. For me, that's the exception to the rule though. You can call yourself "upscale" all you want, but it's simply not for me. No worries, it's not like we need each other! I was just pointing out that you and UKMike seem to be working from a self-selected sample. Of course your listeners like your show the way it is, because they're you're listeners. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 For me, for the most part,I tend to shy away from podcasts that are over three hours long. I make an exception for Super Podcast Bros, as the show is entertaining. The reason being is that I just don't have the attention span that I had when I was younger. Anyone that listens to Pie Factory can pick up my short attention span. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GoldLeader Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 My attention span is right up there with a goldfish...So I've never got through a long podcast either, but those that make them have some pretty valid points...Maybe I'll throw a couple of them on the MP3 player, and give them a shot while I mow some lawns, once the weather gets nice... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybercylon Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I can't stick through long podcasts or videos. I'd rather just simply read, and with some of the videos, reading the summary is enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leathco Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I prefer the extra info the longer podcasts give. The shorter ones tend to either leave out details or seen kinda bland in my opinion.

How can you have a train wreck if the train never came? How can you have a shitshow if the shit didn't show? - There never was a horse involved. If there was, I'd rather not know. - No planes, trains, and automobiles were harmed in the making of this show. - You have to rely on your virtual sense to smell virtual shit, but virtual shit doesn't spatter like real shit unless it hits the virtual fan. Does that help? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raticon Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) I have now spent so much time in this thread looking at bastardized Jaguar shells that i went out and bought the real deal. Came with Dino Dudes, Syndicate and, of course, Cybermorph.Sadly it doesn't play SNES games but i guess that's what my SNES is for.

Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Why do we ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Why do feet smell and noses run? How can a SLIM CHANCE and a FAT CHANCE be the same, while a WISE MAN and a WISE GUY are opposites? Why is it called a HAMBURGER, when it’s made out of BEEF? Why doesn’t GLUE stick to the inside of the bottle? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
