The Late Night Poll: Who Wants A Podcast?

by gallagher on Mar 9, 2010 1:40 AM CST Comment 8 comments

So, around the Nation known as SportsBlogs (but we're not really blogs, we're more professional, no we're not, yes we are, but professionals are dying, no they're not, yes and we're better anyway, no we're not, yes we kinda could be and yes we really are, um no we're not just accept what you are, I will do no such thing because I'm more important than you are and of course the main stream media, why don't you just get comfortable in your own skin and be who you are rather than worrying about the main stream, because this is what I cling to, okay I get that but really just go entertain people and everything else will follow, I don't get it), there is a movement afoot to consolidate a list of sites that also have associated podcasts.

We, of course, do not have a podcast, though we've been asked to do them before. Now that we've heard a few and know that our favorite one ever was about 90 minutes too long and has as its greatest moment the host uttering under his breath, "oh my god," we want to do one.

Which brings us to tonight's poll:

Poll

Would you listen to a GT podcast?

A. I assume you'll be drinking, so, yes.

10 votes

B. Only if you break the land speed record for swearing.

2 votes

C. Only if the topics are determined by some random generator.

5 votes

D. All of the above.

20 votes

E. No. I may be a bad speller, but podcasts are gray.

I'd listen to a podcast

Only if you use the Geto Boyz “Still” as the theme song.

You guys know my feelings on the whole podcast / multimedia issue...

…and that is, I’d love to do it.

My dream for “Game Time” has always been that we would be recognized as hockey’s version of “The Daily Show” or “The Colbert Report,” where comedy is emphasized, but everyone realizes that there’s serious news behind it.

I don’t do comedy all that well, and have always tended towards the serious reporting — legitimate, mainstream reporting, if you will — but I completely “get” the fact that this site is geared towards the, shall we say, lighter side of life.

Bottom line is: I’m completely in favor of a podcast, and would like to be a part of it with a prospect update… but I would like to propose that it be done as professionally, and with as much decorum, as we can muster.

You and I have discussed this before, Sean, in regards to doing Game Time videos, etc., and you noted that if it was just going to be two guys looking into a camera and reading copy, you weren’t interested. I hope you hold a podcast to the same standards of professionalism and presentation.

Honestly, if it’s just going to be a drunken, profane ramble, that’s not going to look good for any of us, or do us any favors in the community.

What's really hilarious . . .

is that I was going to ask you guys about this at the February 6th game. I couldn’t bring myself to say anything after seeing Brad about falling over himself drunk. Not like I was sober either, but . . . yeah. Anyway.

A podcast would rule. The folks over at Hail To The Orange (Illini) do one called Logo Night. The audio quality isn’t perfect, you can hear beer cans hitting the table, opening, drinkage, everything . . . and they act like they know what they’re talking about some of the time.
