Customer Reviews
Has potential but style needs a bit of work
When I think of this podcast I think of an old Elvis song. I little less conversation a little more action boys. I won awards for broadcasting before and know the difference between bad and good broadcasting. When these guys hit on a point they do it extremely well and really are good and give some really great advice, I found myself winding forward in the podcast to try and get over all the fluff and padding. I found myself a little frustrated at the end, because although they talked about the Google chrome book and the chromium operating system They didn’t really give anything practical like how to install it how to make it start talking etc so although there’s a bit of laughing at their own jokes, and giggling, which is frustrating, when they really hit on topics they do it extremely well, but they probably need to go into a little more detail about the practicalities so if you are a vision impaired person and want to try chrome kinda know how to get off first base. I think it’s one of those lessons that people relatively new to broadcasting have to learn about know your audience. People who listen to podcast like this aren’t listening or looking for comedy looking for information so information is the key to what they actually want to find out about so bit of comedy, fine but not too much so I probably won’t subscribe just yet, I might wait six months to a year to save the podcast Gets a bit more maturity balances comedy and information and practicality a little bit more but certainly worth keeping an ear out for.
