Potential Exist
The email about this podcast produced an excited shriek. After a listen, it's more of a casual "Meh." I expected more. The idea is great. Learn more & gain insight but it needs to be formatted more has a podcast. First off, most of the episodes are repeats for New Yorkers. They're simply pre-performance lectures shipped into the podcast. That would be fine if they were more of a variety of ideas going into the series. The format of a successful podcast is not the same has a lecture or old radio. It should be thought out while producing new episodes. Also, if you're attempting to gain a new youthful crowd, this is not doing you any favours. I'm not sure anyone producing this show is young or listens to many podcast. (Maybe I should clarify non-NPR podcast. Haha!) It's a starting point but there is certainly room to grow. That being said. The beginning announcer needs to get the nervousness out of her voice. And the audio/mic for the interviewer in lectures MUST be modified. He's muffled and can barely be heard. I would love to know whose in charge of this podcast and chat some time. I'll still be listening and hoping for improvement!Read full review »

But now I have a new level of understanding musically what is happening in each opera. The lecture on...Read full review »

This is a valuable podcast that goes beyond the basics. It includes new material and interviews from the Guild's archives on a variety of operas and topics. However, OperaNow podcast has, over 10 years, covered the same ground and much more with warmth, affection, humor, and vulgarity....Read full review »
