The Dad Zone Podcast

Post by Botman »

Logged on and I had 11 podcasts downloading for tomorrow

So I've listened to Ep 3, now as the wife watches Masterchef

One of my big things with pods is the voices can't be grating, you both have good "radio" voices so that's a big tick

You guys seem to have a good rapport and play off each other nicely

My biggest critic would be you guys sound like you're trying not to over do the laughs and be some what serious

For me, pods need to be teaching me something or making me laugh, and this one makes me laugh but just when it feels like you guys are on a role is wound it back, but I think that's just a lack of reps?

The best part was the condom chat, that had me laughing proper.
Also big laughs when you guys were talking about rocking the kid to sleep and doing giant rocks out of frustration. I've lived that life haha

I don't know what ability you've got to do this, but I think some drops to spice up the production values and brain storm some segments to mix in (I've got some ideas on stuff I like to talk to people about) and you've got a winner here

The skeleton of a great show is there, and I think with more reps you'll be on to a winner

Thanks for awesome feedback we are going to definitely come up with segments and I really appreciate the other feedback, it's nice to know our voices don't grate as well that was a concern of mine. Would love any further critiques you have moving forward Ep 4 went up a day early tonight, also if you want to submit a question for the Pod I'd love that as well. Thanks again Pigman!

I've got a question for you boys, what kids tv show/movie is the worst you've been forced to watch?

I humbly submit Morphle
This guy can turn into anything! Anything! The world problems this creature could solve is incredible, and instead of dealing with the real ills of the world, his selfish little friend has him turning into dumb **** like a pet shark

How about you morph into something worthwhile, like someone who can solve the Syrian crisis, a machine which solves climate change, or a time machine so we can go back and shoot Hitler when he's on the can

**** Morphle, I hate him with ever fibre of my being.

The Dad Zone Podcast

Post by gangrenous »

Listened to episodes 1 and 2 today.

My first comment goes to show you can't please everyone because I have the opposite opinion to pigman. I thought you could have been a bit more serious, or at least funny about more serious topics. Few too many silly questions for me (though that may be less of an issue as you move on from yahoo!).

Treatment of child abuse was a bit too blasé for my taste too, and I'm usually not a fuddy-duddy on that sort of stuff.

I think the segments and production suggestions from piggles are good. Intro and outtro music differed too greatly from speaking level for mine. I sometimes listen to "This Glorious Mess" with my wife. It's one of the Mama Mia ones, so target audience admittedly very different. They have a nailed/failed segment where they discuss the parenting successes and screw ups for the week. That's usually a good one. While on the topic, Andrew Daddo just seems to be a boss at life.

Aside from my old man concerns you've got potential with more eps and more serious questions I think.

Just caught the first episode, good job. Can I suggest finding some better microphones.... I personally find better quality audio makes what's being said significantly more engaging, not sure why, but I'm instantly less interested if it feels kind one mic in the corner of a room.

I love podcasts and have one myself. Keep up the great work!
