Used To be a great Podcast
Have been a loyal listener for years. In my opinion, since Doug left the pod, some loyal BuckeyeTalk listeners probably wish for the ‘good ‘ol days when Bill Landis and Tim (and Ari) were all contributing. I always enjoyed the friendly and sometimes sarcastic banter and rabbit trails the three happened upon along with very insightful and inspired analysis- I listen while driving and probably made other drivers wonder what I was laughing at. So change has come and I have still been a loyal listener and “five-star fan” but want to share some honest feedback. I don’t laugh much anymore while listening. It may have been the familiarity the three had with each other but some of the spontaneity and light-hearted banter is gone. This group is speaking to die hard Buckeye fans many of whom are Alum like me, and the negativity is palpable. The keen analysis all but disappeared and there is very little lightheartedness. Sometimes it is downright painful to listen to the endless hypothetical scenarios of potential Buckeye self-destruction. Lately, it seems that no one pays attention to the task of editing the broadcast. Almost every episode has repeated portions. I hate to say it, but I am beginning to think of it as a waste of time to listen. Sorry gentlemen, I’m sure you are fine, intelligent people with bright futures in journalism but your podcast skills need some honing and you need to listen and learn your audience’s perspective. I’m not asking for homers who say what fans want to hear, but Doug was not that! I miss Doug’s quick wit, his insights on this and other teams along with the historical perspective he brought. Maybe what this podcast needs is another smart, contentious, and self-deprecating robophob like Doug Lesmerises. Sorry guys, I think it’s time for this fan to take my fandom to another broadcast. I’ll check in from time to time hoping you will get more ‘ruthless’ in fine-tuning and returning to the hilarious and friendly exchanges that made me a loyal follower. I Know you are working hard to inform and entertain Buckeye Nation but I suggest cutting the pod back to one or two each week and returning to excellence in reporting and in-depth analysis with some lighthearted banter. You can do it!
