Topic: The Daily Bitcoin Show is now Let's Talk Bitcoin! Released Saturday & Tuesday (Read 7585 times)

Didn't read all the replies. Downloaded all 5 (right now available) episodes and am listening to the first one. I already can say: Great job guys. Very professional and objective. Great show for newbies and also for advanced 'coiners'. To take this further on I think you guys might have to be a guest on shows like 'Coast To Coast AM' from time to time to help people step by step understand a little bit more about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies at all.

I like it a lot.
But the intro/outro/bumpers... I think you could just say "Ok, and now in today's news"
Also I find the editing a bit unsettling.
Are you editing between sentences, or are you all just talking very very fast?
Anyhow, those are very minor issues.
Waiting for today's episode!

I don't like listening to audio where normal speech pauses have been removed, just to shave one or two seconds off at each point.
It's ok to remove excessive um's, ahhs, coughs etc and redundant sentences, that's polished professional editing, but closing up normal speech gaps makes it sound plastic and stilted. It's like kind of GM genetically modified audio or something. They're messing with the food in the 21st century. Please don't mess with the audio as well.
You might as well speed it up and have the interviewer and interviewee talk like chipmunks, that would enable even more to be crammed into the available space.
If you want to save space, cut down the intro and remove the shouting/screeching bumpers as well. They jar on the nerves!
Space saving has never been the problem, the reason why sometimes the audio sounds clipped is because some hosts use quite a lot of "filler" speech. I generically refer to this as the "umms and ahhs" but it's actually quite a bit more, and it's not only a lot of time but it adds nothing to the listener experience. When there is no gap between filler and content as is often the case, I err on the side of slightly clipping rather than allowing a little bit of the prior word.
But all that aside, the editing should get less frequent and better moving to a non-daily. Update coming today, show returns beginning of the week.
Was episode 6 cancelled? I believed it was already recorded.
It is, half the content was requested pulled by the interview subject after he got cold feet, the other half requires editing but could be released. April 19, 2013, 02:28:00 AM
Quality, not quantity
How about a brief top ten news items, then some indepth discussion to follow.
Can't wait.

To maintain the daily nature of the show you could do brief news and update shows and a longer weekly discussion segment.

After we recorded episode 6 it became obvious that the schedule I've set for us is not sustainable with the amount of staff we have working on the project.
I think a weekly show is ideal, it means there aren't too many shows people have to download for a short space of time in order to keep up with the subject theme. Also each individual show will get more exposure being a weekly.
Weekly also makes more sense from the production side.
I think it's a great opportunity and plenty of demand for this, so it should be a real hit.
re the point someone made about wanting the show to be longer,
it's always better to get down from the table still a little hungry.
ps. was interesting listening to the market commentary on the day just before the crash and then comparing with the day after the crash and hearing the different views. Hindsight is everything...

Glad to hear you guys will be able to catch up on some rest.
If the shows are less frequent it would be a nice treat if each episode was a little longer. After 30 minutes I'm always left craving more
Can't wait to hear the next show.

So... can I haz episode 6? 
April 16, 2013, 06:01:20 PM
Yes just once or twice a week is fine. Just make sure the shows are longer so we have enough content to last us through the week.
April 16, 2013, 05:39:38 PM
My suggestion is to start out with a weekly show, and as your efficiency and man-power increase, increase the frequency.

After we recorded episode 6 it became obvious that the schedule I've set for us is not sustainable with the amount of staff we have working on the project.
I'm catching up on my sleep (which I have not been doing much of with the daily schedule) and we're discussing internally what release frequency we will return with.
We should have an answer by the end of the week, we're taking our time on this as some of my decisions leading up to this point have been made in such a rush as to be detrimental.
Sorry for the disruption in service, I want to be able to do the show for a long time and because of that it needs to be sustainable.

When episode 6 will be out?
April 15, 2013, 10:15:36 PM
Tonights should should be out by midnight PST
Would it be possible, in your next announcements, to use UTC?
Using local time on the Internet is just weird.

OK!
Two days later, RSS Feed is up and correctly populating.... I'm not sure why our album art isn't showing up, but the daily show will download appropriately

Thanks for the feedback guys, that was basically my take on the situation as well and I wanted confirmation I wasn't totally crazy.
Prepping for the show now, huge load of my shoulders not having the editing responsibility - Tonights should should be out by midnight PST, and HOPEFULLY the RSS feed will be up by that point. Soundcloud has enabled us, but it's STILL NOT WORKING and so I'm going back and forth with them.

Nothing wrong with sponsors. I don't think a few minutes with that will hurt
April 15, 2013, 09:36:13 AM
Sure add sponsors why not?! You are doing great work here so of course u should get something back. However, make sure that you dont get "bought" so you can keep an objective stance.
