Streaming into the Void: Episode 3 critique by request.

Posted by Qale (aka Qale) Aug 19 '20, 10:01

As you might have suspected, one less voice definitely helped guide my ears through the conversations better. Also of note: You call one another by name every so often. That’s not something you did much of in Episode 4. That helps as well.

It’s true that Raul is a more seasoned host, and I do like that dynamic better. Kim is still your crown jewel, but in the role of an ‘expert’ instead of ‘host’ will suit you better until you deal with the diversity situation.

However! I have to once again suggest that you think you’re doing a deep dive on some of these topics, but really you’re just reiterating the same points more often than not. The discussion on Disney Plus strategies in 2020 theatrically could have used some editing.

Oppositely, I *really* appreciated the Readers Digest Version of the Paramount decree. I also liked the background on the former boss that was in charge of TruTV and why that was important to the overall story about HBO Max’s problems. I think a further short discussion on Pluto TV would have been a good aside. Especially since it has a different streaming model being completely free.

Moving forward, do you plan on having any audience interaction bits? Response messages or something? I dunno.

Continued luck and success on your budding podcast. I certainly will be staying tuned.

Grade: B-

Is there anything you'd like us to talk about? ST is always welcome to suggest (non-Bob's Burgers) topics. -- nm - David Aug 19, 10:22 37
- I want to know how the non theater releasing is effecting Disney’s merch tie ins with movies -- nm* - Epiphany-Puck Bunny Aug 19, 10:57 1
  - I stockpile merchandise revenue articles whenever I can, but they're extremely challenging to find. -- nm - David Aug 19, 11:04
- Nobody really talks about the George Floyd or Ahmad Aubrey videos as streaming phenomena. Recording police encounters during traffic stops - con_carne Aug 19, 10:39 2
  - Kim's baby sister is actually an expert at this. It would probably need to be a standalone interview episode, though, as it's impossible to slot... - David Aug 19, 10:57 1
    - Yeah, it's a hard pass in our current format. -- nm - Reagen Aug 19, 10:59
- quarantine effect on holiday shopping -- nm - Max Aug 19, 10:33 2
  - How would this relate to streaming? -- nm - David Aug 19, 10:55 1
    - oh, I've only listened to one ep, but I didn't get the sense that the podcast was strictly limited to streaming content -- (edited) - Max Aug 19, 11:03
- yeah. Let's talk about the strange things that happen when you piss off the wrong Dwarf -- nm - prayformojo Aug 19, 10:30 1
  - You should have shook his hand, Tony! -- nm - David Aug 19, 10:35
- Biffy Clyro's new album. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 19, 10:30
- We should do a "What movie did David's mom watch?" segment -- nm - Judge Bane Aug 19, 10:29 1
  - Lol awesome -- nm - Epiphany-Puck Bunny Aug 19, 10:54
- Old news: I think Euphoria likes to abuse its viewers. You get 15% good stuff in every episode and at least 50% makes me hate myself for watching. -- nm - Qale Aug 19, 10:28 3
  - Euphoria A+ -- nm Posted by mud Aug 10 '20, 11:31 -- nm - mud Aug 19, 10:51
  - That doesn't sound euphoric. -- nm - David Aug 19, 10:29 1
    - You know me. I love controversy. But even I didn’t need to see a guy stroking his micro-penis in all of it’s glory for several minutes. -- nm - Qale Aug 19, 10:32
- I definitely feel attacked! - Krusty Aug 19, 10:27 3
  - And the Yankees suck! -- nm - David Aug 19, 10:29 2
    - Jebus! I'm not complimenting your podcast again if this is how you treat your listening audience. - Krusty Aug 19, 10:33 1
      - Mom? -- nm - David Aug 19, 10:34
- A review of Ted Lasso -- nm - JD Aug 19, 10:25 6
  - That's platinum level sponsorship type stuff. -- nm - Reagen Aug 19, 10:31 3
    - Speaking of, are you guys on Patreon? -- nm - oblique Aug 19, 10:32 2
      - Yes. Yes we are. Although I don't know how comfortable I am yet receiving any donations. - Mopsy Aug 19, 10:43 1
        
        I'll just grab some merch when you start doing live road shows. -- nm - Krusty Aug 19, 10:46
  - That would require someone to watch it. -- nm - Mopsy Aug 19, 10:27
  - You and your freaky-ass porn. -- nm - David Aug 19, 10:26
- You kinda do this but having a quick "What's new on streaming this week" or "coming next week" segment could be helpful especially how much you all - oblique Aug 19, 10:24 8
  - I'm running a 1 against 4 secret war for having defined weekly segments. - David Aug 19, 10:25 7
    - I posted my idea in Qale's last review thread -- nm - Beaker Aug 19, 11:00
    - You're terrible at keeping it secret. - Krusty Aug 19, 10:38 1
      - Why do you say tha...oh. -- nm - David Aug 19, 10:39
    - I don't know that you need the entire show broken into defined segments - but having a couple that people can expect every episode - Daniel Prime Aug 19, 10:35
    - I'm pro segment, fwiw. -- nm - Reagen Aug 19, 10:34 1
      - See? Lobbying works! I only need to swing one more vote! -- nm - David Aug 19, 10:34
    - Episode 3 did a FAR better job of presenting you as having a conversation as rather giving dissertations in front of the classroom. - Qale Aug 19, 10:30
Thank you Qale. Your feedback is very much appreciated. We'll absorb it and adapt. -- nm - Mopsy Aug 19, 10:09 3
- I’m glad it’s appreciated. When I started typing out yesterday’s I was like, this is really not easy to try and critique my friends. -- nm - Qale Aug 19, 10:27 2
  - You will never fully understand how much I appreciate it. Kim will confirm that I BEG her to be harsh about my work. - David Aug 19, 10:33
  - You can't be any harder on us that we are on ourselves. I'm amused by how politely brutal we're being in our internal messages. -- nm - Mopsy Aug 19, 10:32
