All:
Well, I switched it up a bit for number 5, cut the single player review in half, added a quick interview with a forum member, and got away from all the audio clips.

I'd like to hear which format you liked more. The older format? Should I be doing more community interviews? That is a reasonable work around for the whole "You-need-a-host" argument.

Hey, this thing is as fluid as you can get. Let me know your thoughts! Thanks!

The older format seemed more appropriate considering the name of the podcast, yet I preferred SPP Ep. 5 more, cause the interview definitely worked, and was both humorous and interesting. We still had plenty of information on the gaming side, as well as your personal opinion, and much of the humour was still there from the previous shows.

All in all, I preferred the new format, the old humour in a more fluid style that sounds more like you've got what you're doing nailed, rather than looking for a few things to say out of nothing, which it seemed like you were doing at times in previous shows

Like the addition of the interview, works well with the rest of your show, was interesting and went well. I would like to see a new theme tune to go with you new name - although you might want to worry about getting the name on the podcast thread first :grin:

Meh, don't know if I'm going to ACTUALLY change it. Might just shorten it to the Single Player podcast. I might informally call it the Grinder. Already got five episodes under my belt, a little early for some rebranding. We'll see.

Thanks guys, keep 'em coming.

Hey, I ain't scared to get in the middle of some futbol rivalries.

But yeah, apparently I'm going to have to put out a call for future interviews. This apparently really was well liked.

Lol, actually I think he could do with someone from down south, like me!

Those people up north eat their babies :huh:

EDIT: Just listened to the show, it was really well put together and a pleasure to listen to. I feel that your show will gradually evolve and change but still have the humour and good quality of the first four.
Loved the inlusion of a community interview, very clever and hope I get to be on there and have a laugh!

Thanks for the shout-out, that was an unexpected but pleasant surprise and although I'm hard at work editing episode 4 of the RBP, I'll have to give you a nod or something.

Downloaded the damn update for Burnout Paradise shortly after you left as well! Glad that I was in the party though.

Oh and my name is pronounced like the "Ji" in "Jive" :D

Wait a tic. Why are other podcasters wanting to be...on a podcast?
:)
I'll have to figure out a way to decide. Contest, anyone?

First of all, I edited my comment, and gave a bit more feedback other than "PICK ME SHANGHAI I LOVE YOU MAN!!!"

Second of all, you know you say you're a media whore? Well, I be one of them!

If the contest is on pure podcasting expertise and excellence...then surely I've already won? :tongue:

You make a compelling argument. :)

I would like to be the voice of the voiceless, as it were. There are people on here who don't have the time, energy or patience to put together a podcast, but they wouldn't mind taking 20 minutes to chat on Skype about video games.

If I can't get anyone who's really interested or people start dropping out, consider yourself on the short list.

Lol, okay, thanks :D

By the way the RBP would love to have you on!

Hey Jai, lemme know next time you need a filler host and I can probably fake my way through it! We media whores need to stick together.

Thanks for the plug, but now you're never getting on. I had totally had put that whole nasty Warhawk experience behind me, and then you go and dredge it up. :)

why are you against getting a second host?

sorry if this has been repeated

Shanghai Six
08-20-2009, 06:37 PM
Holy shit, welcome back strika? Are you back now?
Anyway, figured i'd try something different; everyone has a bunch of hosts, it's the "single player" podcast, much easier to coordinate, etc.
