“Overall I really enjoy this pod - I’ve listened to many comics podcasts and this is one of the ones that is best overall. Pros: like the contributors, like their chemistry, like the diversity of the opinions and the topics. I especially like that the main “host” of the show sounds like a professional - raises the quality of the pod above others that feel more amateurish. Plus they’ve got hands-down the best theme song (at the end) in all of pod-land (apologies if that’s lifted from another source).
Having said all this there are a number of things that annoy me. If the creators of this pod actually read these things it would be lovely if they could take any of these constructive criticisms:
- please stop hounding us every 5 mins about joining the Patreon. We get it: this stuff isn’t free, some people want to make a living at this rather than having a “real job” ... but the constant reminders to join Patreon really screws up the flow.
- related to the above: don’t hold the good content for the Patreon. I believe Patreon should be for EXTRA content, not the stuff that people really want to listen to. The bait and switch is not cool.
- why do the “wheel of destiny” (or whatever it’s called) at the beginning? Don’t get me excited about any number of news stories and then talk about something I don’t care about ... just pick one story and get into it. Is the wheel even real? If not it’s even more annoying.
- lastly (this is where the “exercise” metaphor comes in): please be better aware of the mix of “popular” and more “Indy” content. I like this show because it exposes me to stuff I wouldn’t normally get or seek out, it just seems like it’s a little slanted towards some very specific non-popular subjects (looking at you Matthew and the 10th review of a Power Rangers book over the last 6 mos). The episode I’m listening to right now is giving a significant segment time to one of the creations of one of the hosts (good to be exposed to it) while relegating a discussion of Womder Woman 750 to, you guessed it, the Patreon ...
Realize this can all sound sorta negative, but it’s said out of love. This is one of the best comic pods around and I want it to stay that way!”
