We need to hear it first
For sure, we'll have that option soon!
People have said they want it to be over an hour. We dont care if they only listen to part of it or skip ahead. Everybody wants a different pace so its never possible to satisfy everyone, therefore we move at a pace were comfortable with. Were going to go in-depth and cover nuances of the game, salary cap, etc. Some people will like it, some will want something that glosses over things more and has a faster pace, which is why we have other podcasts.
The younger demographics love videos though. I feel like videos help it feel more personal. Also, doing it on video helps us reach more of an audience on a different platform than all the other Blazers related podcasts out there right now.
I figured that so I added the info about a library venue.....the rooms they have are awesome and the lighting is great...tables have usb ports...flat screen tvs...the works...they even have a video projector with a giant screen you could use....to do your podcast right....this might be the ticket. In our venue you can book it for a few months at a time then you have to book it again but once you're on the calendar.....it's yours on a schedule.
If I had the money, I'd have an awesome, top notch setup. Rollout optional green screen, professional lighting, a fancy, suitable backdrop.
I watch youtube and listen to podcasts on youtube without video a lot....I like WTF with Marc Maron.quite a few podcasts..listening allows me to do stuff while listening without staring at the screen....that's the advantage to me. I can still do that with video as well so it's no big deal. I'm sure you'll build a brand however you lay it out. First thing you should become aware of though is not using descriptors like "more opinionated" when people comment. The idea is to draw fans who don't watch youtube as well as those who do....youtube watchers comment all the time on videos ...some guitar teachers I study with online disable comments altogether. I actually listen to podcast while hiking every morning on the radio with an old school Sony Walkman or my Iphone. Radio rules for me over TV...my wife can watch Taiwanese TV and news daily on youtube which is pretty amazing this day and age.
That's the cool thing about the library....we all have already paid for it...you don't need the money...cleaning deposit here is 15 dollars
Well this is essentially going to be a livestream as well so its a bit different, but we will have audio versions available. It should cover every niche and people can choose to watch it live and engage with us, they can watch it afterwards at any time and scroll through, or they can listen to the mp3.
Its also very impractical. Postgame live streams? Overnight recordings when we have to pre-record? Guesting other podcast hosts? Me and HoopsJock live 45 minutes a part and have busy lives. Streamers dont stream from libraries. They stream from their house.
It's actually not if you have the discipline to keep a schedule....I can book the room and stay there from 5pm to 10am the next day if I want...and I have a key they check out to me that allows me to come and go during that time...Woj doesn't broadcast from his home....you can't beat it for free…..I've rented music studios to record in and at that price you can't fuck around....need to be prepared to work within the time you buy or you're going to pay a fortune for a click track. Union scale for lets say a bass player goes for about 70 bucks an hour. That adds up quickly
Library adds nothing to our broadcast. Nobody who already watches and supports us will stop watching us because were going with Blazer-themed backgrounds instead of a library. Its a Blazer podcast livestreamed on YouTube. I guarantee people would be like "Why does it look like youre in a library? What happened to the Blazer background?".
John Clayton used to do all of his NFL segments on ESPN from his house with similar backgrounds. Adam Schefter still does too. Woj used to do this kind of stuff when he started off too.
