Dr. Gonzo 24,468 Posted April 9, 2024 Posted April 9, 2024 Best footy podcast around, it's a never miss for me. I haven't noticed the "um's" but even if there are too many remember these guys are not pros, they are doing it for the love of the club and to provide you content! One day I will get around to that 5 star review...(Sorry don't use iPhone). 1 2 Quote

Queanbeyan Demon 7,023 Posted April 9, 2024 Posted April 9, 2024 This is close to thread of the year so far. Really brilliant content peeps. As others have noted, I see the poster has not put his/her/their hand in their/him/her pocket. Immediately disqualifies she/he/them (whatever) from having an opinion. (When Parkin was coach of Carltank in the 1980's, he used to get lots of letters providing 'feedback'. He said he responded to the letters that came from paid-up members of the club only.) Quote

Queanbeyan Demon 7,023 Posted April 9, 2024 Posted April 9, 2024 And I have an opinion as well . . . for all three of the podcasters. Could you please dumb-down the pod? It's way to intellectual for me. Can you be more like that nice Mr. Robinson on Foxtel maybe? It's all very well having stats at hand Rubbish Binny (name said with affection), but can you just tell me each week if that number 36 is going to kick any goals? And for next week's pod, can George tell me if he thinks Harmes from Melbourne can win the Brownlow this year? And Andy, May is my favourite player. Do you think he can win the goal kicking this year? 1 Quote
darkhorse72 1,943 Posted April 9, 2024 Posted April 9, 2024 I haven't noticed, but I listen at 1.5 speed all my podcasts. The podcast producer could run it through Descript, really good at moving all the filler words and spaces in the final podcast version. https://get.descript.com/j1w4sz60dc09 Quote

Also I love the irony of a double post with advice on brevity. 😜 1 5 Quote

Clayton van Oliver 1,829 Posted April 9, 2024 Posted April 9, 2024 It's a baffling aspect of today's world that people get free content with hours of work behind it, yet complain as if they're a shareholder or something. You do terrific work fellas and it has really grown beautifully over the years . If the pod had a flavour it would be umami 😘👌 5 3 2 Quote

Queanbeyan Demon 7,023 Posted April 9, 2024 Posted April 9, 2024 Some posters have said that the plodders podders are not professionals. I vehemently disagree. I know of no other place I can get consistently high quality, intelligent, thoughtful and insightful analysis of the footy, not unembuggared by blokeyness, mindless product placement or just plain old imbecileness. 2 1 2 Quote

A long time ago but weren’t there proper nouns (capitalised) and common nouns though it probably now regarded as elitist or classist or colonialist or demeaning to use such differentiation. 1 Quote
Skuit 10,031 Posted April 9, 2024 Posted April 9, 2024 4 hours ago, whatwhat say what said: i thought it just required three consecutive dots? 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. Scholars like my good self insist on little ums between our dots. Unspaced ellipses are for the likes of John Ralph, twitterists, and @WalkingCivilWar after too much caffeine. 1 Quote

Dee Boys 934 Posted April 9, 2024 Posted April 9, 2024 With all due respect to the contributors, there’s absolutely zero doubt that the podcast would be twice as good if it were half as long. 2 2 Quote
