Podcasts and other plaster.

Posted by Archnomad

Ok, so folks. Criticism on the first 2 podcasts well received, thank you all. However, this does raise some issues. One, do I talk too quickly? Personally I think I talk at a fairly medium rate, however I understand this isn't the same for all of my listeners, and as I hate the language barrier, am fine with compromising here.

Second, thanks for all the feedback on these 2 episodes. This is very much going to be a learning experience and I do plan on taking all/almost all (not stupid) ideas on board. And for you folks who winced at my jokes, I'll take a comedy class, I swear.

Third, I'm starting a second podcast. Very much an audio blog in its own right as it were. The current podcast is just a substitute for articles (despite taking much, much longer) but this is going to be far more whimsical. It's going to be a lot more personal, and reflect my own opinions and outlooks. Hopefully you folks will find it interesting, but I hope you guys are ok with me deviating off topic, and probably swearing.

But mostly thanks for the feedback guys.

Save the non-PG one for Skavenblight.

It's going to be personal, etc? Yeah, it's gotta be personal blog domain then.

Obviously, if Kirby disagrees that's his call, this is his house...but it would feel out of place otherwise, y'know?

Sorry dude.

Already ok'd it with him.

But the main reason I post a lot more here is more people read it. It makes my own blog obsolete for the most part. (;

I'm sure it's not going to be 'today i stubbed my toe. My toe hurts. owie.' but more 40k relating to Archnomad and him not being censored. There will be ahuge pink BE AWARE OF SCOTSMAN (aka non-G rated) LANGUAGE disclaimer :P.

You do talk a little fast, but nothing ridiculous. Someone suggested enunciating a lot to slow down the tempo, and I have to say this helped me a lot doing presentations. Perhaps it's worth considering.

I have to say that u talk too fast as I needed to pay 100% attention to fully understand your points, though I believe it was partly due to ur accent also.

It would be nice to hear someone talking about 40k like an adult, like almost any adult (and to be honest, anyone over 12) does. Love the style, and wouldn't mind hearing your more relaxed thoughts. Quite a lot of value comes out of things like that, I wager.

As I said before, I felt it was too fast. It sounded as if you were just reading from script (which you were). You ought to be delivering a speech. Not only are we trying to listen and understand what you are saying (Scottish FTL :P), but some people are trying to grasp new concepts and learn about new toys. The content is fine, it just needs to be significantly slower.

Another consideration would be to add pictures to the podcast so you can demonstrate concepts with more ease. Somewhere between an audio-only podcast and a videocast.
