17 OCT 2015 · This is Dave working with the new Spreaker Studio
10 JUL 2014 · The Short Time Wrestling Podcast covers the world of Wrestling (not the TV type). Jason Bryant comes on the show to see what he’s doing great, and identify items that may need some tweaking. Doing Well Doing a great job pulling stories out of guests Obvious show prep and really knowing your guest Great forum with lots of activity Content moves quickly Well produced Nice information on website Could Improve A bit of a band confusion with URLs, names and website (who is TOM). Could use a bit of white space on the website Be careful with yes no questions Avoid the obvious question, and find a new slant on those. When I am on TheOpenMat.com, the podcast is hard to find (under features) -
19 MAY 2014 · The Ministry Encouragement podcast is to help encourage Christ Followers. It is hosted by Jim Hollis. Here is what we thought.
The intro was nice. You might consider explaining a bit more what the podcast will be about.
You need a pop filter
You seemed a bit stiff (it almost sounded like you were reading the contents)
When you talk about personal stories it is more engaging. The story about witnessing on a plane really grabbed our attention. That was great. You could take it one step further and use descriptive words to really pain that picture in the theater of the mind.
Come up with a call to action, and don't be afraid to mention your service.
Use bullet points for your show notes, and just talk into the microphone as if you are talking to a friend.
Your website is clean. It needs an "about" page.

13 MAY 2014 · Fat Pitch Radio and TV is great a podcast put together by Gary Lealand. In the episode we listened to he pulled his community in by soliciting questions from his facebook group.
His website looks great, and his audio is well done. The advertisements that he inserts into his show are entertaining and brief.
When interviewing people he should just go to the next question instead of announcing that he is going to the next question. All in all a great podcast for those who love past pitch softball.

5 MAY 2014 · Today Dave and Erik review the Catholic Travel Jounral. This podcast is "The weekly audio journal about our pilgrimage preparations. We publish a new show every Monday." You can find them in iTunes
The Good Stuff
Good job of keeping things flowing, and sticking with theme (St pats).
Good audio.
Nice album artwork
The way the hosts engaged with the guest. Nice follow-up questions.
The personal, conversational style felt like we were talking at the kitchen table
Great use of vivid words with the dinner and backyard descriptions
Things That Could Be Tweaked
Define the show for the audience right in the intro every episode. Set it up. Why am I here?
Control your guest. He sometimes talked a long time. Ask questions to get him to focus.
Use more vivid descriptions and great follow-up questions. Ask what your audience is asking in their heads.
Depending on your choice, non cathloics are a bit lost (but then again, I’m not your audience).
Don’t send people to pages with nothing. Would you keep a question in your podcast if you asked a yes or no question and they answered “no”? same things for websites.
Overall, I got confused if you went on the trips or just read about it. I felt the intro could have included an explanation of the show

28 APR 2014 · Due to a family emergency the show we were going to review could not make the show this week. In its place I went back into the vault of the podcast review show. I found episode 1 from May 2009. I chose a show I really liked called Digital Flotsam from from P.W. Fenton.
This is a well produced podcast that is delivered with lots of warmth and preparation. P.W. Fenton doesn't produce on a redictable schedule, but when a new episode is out he comes with a great story. If you want to feel the power of stories, click the play button below.

Why are You Podcasting and Who is Your target Audience
One of the great things that the live format allows is we can understand the reasoning behind what you're doing.
We love to help you identify your goals, and your audience.
Identify What You Do Right
Our goal is not to just beat you down, but to identify what you're doing right (so you can do more of that).
We will point out those items that need tweaked. In some cases you think your content is coming across one way, and we heart it in a completely different light. They key to this is we provide constructive criticism.

We record at 8:30 EST on Thursday (so you will need to be available). If you're not, let us know when you're available (before ordering) and we'll see if we can get our schedules to line up.
13 APR 2014 · Description:
TWO MINDS. ONE WORLD. ZERO PATIENCE.
Marc Raco and hosts discuss what’s wrong with the world, showcase new artists, and throw around pop culture, entertainment, food, news–everything’s on the menu!
There’s curmudgeon producer Elsie, inventive games, fun, interviews, guest jokes and much more in every one-hour episode—plus there’s always the infamous End of Show Food!
With more than 535,000 worldwide downloads/streams since releasing our first co-hosted episode October, 2012—and growing every day—everyone is becoming a monkey!
Dave’s Thoughts:
The Good Parts:
They have done a good job of changing their episodes names.
I liked the dialog more than the forced funny.
You seem to do a good job of getting out of a topic once you hit it.- for the most part
Your website better, but still needs work
You have better titles than the last time.
Parts That Need Tweaked
Marc should invest in a dynamic microphone - its right at the point of annoying.
Lose the background music in the background ot get some without lyrics
Move the second intro closer to the beginning to help your momentum.
My complaints about Blog talk radio are not your fault. You are somewhat screwed, and moving away from them will be difficult if you want your audience to follow. (Blog talk radio messes up your ID3 tags, points to the wrong website, and hijacks your RSS feed).
Erik's Thoughts
The Good Parts
The details of the stories were solid. They become genuinely funny when you are mentioning cartoons you watched or describing skiers collapsing.
Know what you hope to accomplish with the story. Lead with an intriguing intro. “My girlfriend called a help desk and I totally busted they guy with his bait-and-switch move.” Then tell the story.
Parts That Could be Tweaked
Jokes tend to be predictable. Name one president that wouldn’t be included in a Presidents Day Sale? Nixon. How about Vladamir Putin? Somebody people don’t expect. Funny is when you lead people where they think you should go and then do the unexpected. Of course the sales call ended with “no”. Where else could it end?

6 APR 2014 · The Engaging Life and Leadership podcast is Discussing relevant answers for Christian men AND women in leadership positions. Easy to remember – Simple to apply. It is hosted by Darren Dake and Anita Brooks. You can find their website at www.engaginglifeandleadership.com. Today episode features Erik K Johnson better known as the Podcast Talent Coach.
16 FEB 2014 · This show will stick in my mind for a long time. It took a LOT of effort to get through this. I am not a prude. I laugh at comedians like Louie CK, Chris Rock, and Eddie Murphy (back in the day). I loved Sam Kinison. I laugh at South Park and the Family Guy. I love to laugh. This show is billed as a comedy. I didn't hear any sarcasm. I didn't hear an commentary on life that pointed out ironic behavior. There is (under neath it all) formulas that work in comedy and in opinion (and that's all this is) this show doesn't follow any of them. If you think the phrase "Who doesn't masterbate at funerals" is funny then this show is for you. For me, it's stupid.
I watched Saturday night Fever. I watched the Wold of Wall Street (which set a record for the number of times "The F Word" was used in a movie). There was a story. There was CONTENT. This podcasts seems to swear because they want to be edgy. They have icing, but no cake.
The premise of the show is they take words that have been submitted by the audience and make a show out of that one word. This is something similar that improv groups do where they pull multiple words from a group and try to fit them all into a sketch. I've seen Second City in Chicago (a group that was supplied much of the cast for the first season of Saturday Night Live), and even that group had 30% of their content bomb. In general, good content does not happen by winging it.
In today's show the highlights are:
A girl sings I'm a little teapot out the window
One of the hosts is leaving
They do a prank call
They talk about the co-hosts surfing for porn on his phone.
I typically say content should move your audience. It should inspire them. My question is, "What do the crew and One Word Go Show want us to do with this?" OK it's a comedy show. They expect us to laugh. I get that. For me (being in my late 40's) I didn't find it funny. Maybe if you're between the ages of 15-22, you will.
The Lightning Bolt That Is Breanne
If you are a offensive enough person on reality TV, you will get your own show (see Honey Boo Boo, see Ambrosia, etc). On their website she is described as "She’s very open about her life, and doesn’t give a crap what you think. " She reminds me of Cartman's "Whatever I do what I want, only Breana would say "I do whatever I F#*king want Bitch."
http://youtu.be/BLPM-P7mNQw
For me, they lost me in the first 3 minutes with the endless unnecessary swearing. I do thank Mat for giving us a heads up that what was coming was immature, "dirty", and at times violent.
How to Swear Properly
The F word is a word to accent a level of intensity. If you you broke up with me, I might say you broke my heart. If you broke up with me after I bought you a leather Jacket for Valentines day and you're now dating my brother, I might say you F#*king broke my heart. If I use the word without respect for its power, you drain it of all it's power. It loses it's effect. Please respect the F word. It's one of the best words we have.
http://youtu.be/55pfcmUzGhw
You might look at a post that I did a while ago that talks about Howard Stern had more than just dirty word. When he was on regular radio that required him to be creative.
I have a sneaking suspicion that heavy drinking occurs before this show starts recording (as some of these topics are - in my opinion - are not as funny as the laugh they inspire).
What This Show Does Well
They provide a disclaimer at the beginning of the show
They have easy to find subscribe buttons
They made sure to have proper ID3 tags
They put together some production music to introduce segments etc.
Nice Mickey Mouse imitation
What This Show Could Do Better
Get to the word first. I didn't know who Breanne is, so I didn't care that she was leaving.
Start well and end well. Come up with something funny at the beginning of the show (you may think your disclaimer is funny).
Add some treble to Dan's voice,
