For starters, an ellipsis requires a space between each dot . . .

Really?!  I didn’t r realise that.

That is much more informative and interesting than the OP!

i thought it just required three consecutive dots?

obviously op got it all wrong with four, either way...

from first gogol search result (and thus, the only one that anyone will pay attention to):

An ellipsis ( ... ) consists of three evenly spaced periods and is used to indicate the omission of words or suggest an incomplete thought. In general, an ellipsis should be treated as a three-letter word, with a space, three periods and a space.

Funnily enough I listen to the Pod for the bits between the ums.

My son is in advertising and he watches TV programs for the ads.

I was taught to put a space following the ellipsis, before the next word, but no space between the ellipsis and the preceding word 🤷‍♀️

Also, no space between the periods. Soz, @Skuit 😬

Except not soz because you of all peeps know how pedantic I am, oh and that I’m never wrong 😝

Ummmmm. . . Imagine starting a thread on this. 

I suspect DeeBlood is actually dermie.

Took umbrage at me calling him a clown and joking about his inability to string words together (a joke i rather embarrassingly mangled).

binman, given your hippiness, try replacing the the 'um' with an 'ooommmm'

would be much more smoothing and meditative to the listener

Incorrect. While a space between each dot is acceptable, it is not required.

I haven’t noticed the umms but I am glad that @binman has a new mic and doesn’t sound like he’s calling in from inside the stats file filing cabinet anymore 

He actually doesn't have a new mic. He is using his old mic which has a broken stand so he has to use it the old fashioned way by holding it up to his mouth like he's commentating the cricket.

To anyone listening live whenever Binman's voice goes in and out that is him moving the mic away from his mouth. If you listen to the podcast on one of the apps after the fact you won't hear that as the levels are fixed in post.

The mic he used for a couple of weeks which sounded like he was broadcasting from a filing cabinet was an even older mic but I have a sneaking suspicion that that mic wasn't being used to capture the audio and the audio was being captured by his computer's built in mic.

Having said all that even the most expensive mic will not fix all those worrisome ums.

Appreciate the clarification and insight into the glamorous world of footy podcasting

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
