“First of all, I’m a member who’s on auto pay, so obviously I’m a huge fan. Second of all I agree with Jonathan‘s idea that if you’ve listened to a podcast more than five times you owe a review [and I don’t want to see him break his wrist on a snowboard!]
I’ve listened to a number of Gear 30 and BLISTER pods, and there is often excessive bantering at the beginning of the podcast until they get to the subject at hand. The Three Ski Buying Mistakes podcast is particularly bad where it took them about 45 minutes to get to the subject at hand! That’s ridiculous.
One of the wonderful things about blister is they respect their audience enough to do real reviews, so I think it’s fair that you respect your audience enough to edit out the 15 to 45 minutes of banter that can occur at the front end of an episode.
You all would not allow 2 pages of nonsense in your written reviews so why allow it here? I’m asking for music or anything but this is a professional operation and obviously more listeners is good for Blister’s bottom line. So take the next step and make your pods professional as well.
Like I said, I love the podcast. I love the site. I’m a huge fan boy (with the exception of Luke’s woman snowboard bangs hanging out of his helmet😋) but bring a little bit more professionalism to your podcasts. Use the editing function. We are busy people too.
Keep up the otherwise excellent outstanding work!”
