To a point. It depends what success is. Ultimately, in music, everyone would be Ed Sheeran if they applied the 'give the audience what they ask for' maxim.

To make something a bit different, then to some degree you have to do your thing. I agree 1000% that respect for your audience is important - but I don't think that has to be just giving them what they want. It should show in the quality/effort apparent in the work and it certainly did in the Third Tier that Tom did. It might not have been that regular but it was in depth, informed and well put together. I didn't know that I wanted to listen to Tom chatting to a Gillingham and Fleetwood fan, but it turned out, I did!

Anyway, the main point is, whatever and whoever and whysoever, I wish Tom loads of luck and I'm sure it'll be grand cos I've liked his other stuff and I liked doing the pod with him and ultimately, all fan media is is people talking shite so I look forward to more shite in the great toilet bowl of BFC fan media.

Well success from a ‘personal perspective’ is completely self-defined. So that’s down to Tom himself…👍

So on that basis, I wish him every success too (whatever that means) and yep, something different would be good.

I'd rather put my bollocks through a meat grinder than watch LCTV but we all have our foibles

I was only highlighting LCTV with it representing the upper echelons of the ‘online content’ game, to highlight the difference in professionalism really. Though I do think there’s an element of “I’m too ‘cool’ to watch Lee Charles” that goes on… Personally, I respect the way he conducts himself and the hard work and effort he puts it.

I’d say the Seasiders Podcast is miles better from an entertainment perspective, but they are kind of ‘not that arsed’. Whereas Lee (at least for me) isn’t so interesting, but it’s miles more professional and polished and in fairness to him, he’s genuinely passionate about what he does and puts a lot of time and effort into it and that comes across.

In footballing terms, the podcast lads are a bit like Ian Poveda, whereas Lee is more of a Jerry Yates.

I'd say Seasiders podcast is more Old Grey Whistle Test whereas LCTV is more Cheggars plays pop!!
 
There's a lot to be said for doing something audio only. A lot of people only really get chance to listen to stuff while driving and, let's face it, very few Seasiders are likely to have a good face for Zoom 😗

I think I'll launch a rival one called Chizzballs. House rules being that guests may only communicate using the idioms, maxims and epithets of Radio Blackburn's finest. A grizzled veteran of this parish who has built up a wealth of knowledge and rapier sharp insights from his years sucking on the Oyston teat 🍞🤸‍♀️🤸‍♂️🏝️⛪👍

PLEASE make them shorter! I’ve yet to finish a Seasiders Podcast - 15 mins in the car and I’m done - really doesn’t need to be longer!

The best podcasts like this have timings on so ...
00.00 Intro
02.00 Match Summary
07.20 Jerry's goal
12.30 Sending off
17.20 Crowd reaction

Etc etc .. then at least you can listen to reaction to certain incidents - means if, like most of us, you don't get an hour to spare, you can still listen to bits that interest you.

No, no...it will be 8 players you want to take with you to the desert island.

Hmm. Could be something there. Could be a pot pourri - a smorgasbord of BFC and personal ephemera. Favourite tunes, favourite pre/post match drink, favourite pre match food, favourite players. The possibilities are ... limited but not endless. Unless of course common sense is the Victor here and the Chizzballs concept receives the audience it deserves 🏝⛪️🍞👍
 
Really enjoyed it actually, it's made me really look forward to the new season. I have a Wedding at Ribby Hall on the Burton game, nothing happens at weddings between 2.30 and 5.30 anyway bar drinking?

Episode one is live mate.

Some constructive criticism for you mate:

1. You say 'erm' a LOT. Try and cut the 'erm's out of your vocabulary.
2. You need a better mic. It sounds like you recorded it using the mic built into your laptop and it felt like I was in a work call on Microsoft teams.

Other than that I thought the discussion was decent and you kept it well on topic 🍊

Appreciate that mate. I’ve got a mic. New stand and protector for it on order.. my son broke the stand.

Will take the feedback and make next one better. Im not very well either, had to happen day of recording so my head was a bit blurry.
