I want to listen more than I do but 1 hour and 45 minutes is too damn long. Shorten them to 30 minutes. I also want to hear strong debates on controversial issues. I'd like video cameras on the guests and marquee news of Destiny updates scrolling from side to side on the bottom. Up the pace and up the aesthetics. My take.

    We usually talk anywhere from an hour and a half to three hours and I usually try to edit them down to around an hour. That said, with three forum guests today I felt it necessary to first give them all enough spotlight in their replies and second, felt everything I included was compelling. If you pause an episode, it will pick up there later.

  • That's the thing: they don't all need spotlight every time. No offense to any previous or future guests but it's not uncommon for people to be skipped on certain questions and have it come back around to them the next topic. I'm assuming you want listeners otherwise you wouldn't go through the trouble of playing fort every week with friends. These are reasons I don't listen regularly, not that I dislike your group of commentators or personalities. My brother does a podcast weekly and I don't listen to his shit either. I'm cutthroat I guess.

  • To each their own I guess

  • Do you want to increase viewership? If so, how? I think it would be wise to make a poll with things to be removed or things to be added to the podcast. You have a free focus group at the tips of your fingers. Use them. If I wanted you to fail I'd have said nothing. No need to "each their own" me. Look at it this way: that YouTuber that just posted a video about primary weapon rebalancing got and will get 20,000+ views. If that same exact script was exclusively posted on these forums it would've disintegrated before it hit trending. It's not necessarily the truth of his words (because I disagreed with plenty of the proposals) but the entertainment it's nestled in. What I've suggested are not my own ideas but rather a working recipe for decades and decades. It's a standard of operation and in this day and age requires very minimal capital. Your guests don't need cameras albeit helpful, but you should. And if they don't: [i]On the phone: Trynn[/i] is somewhere on the screen. Good luck. It's got promise.

    I appreciate your intent, but a couple things. There is no monetization. This podcast exists to give members of this community the opportunity to do something unique that they'd probably never do otherwise and to allow us to get to know each other better as we hear the voices behind the names, all while providing Bungie with a different source of feedback than typed words on a page. Here's the thing though, we have talked for a long time on here but when you write [quote]"I'm not getting paid so I won't make myself better, put in effort and learn skills in the process even though I love what I'm doing."[/quote] That doesn't come across well. Again, I get the intent to be helpful, but you're implying I don't care and don't put effort into this. We're not trying to be planet destiny or whomever else. This isn't a job for us, it's something we do because we enjoy it and it's a way to give something back to the community. I appreciate immensely everyone who listen and participate and hope more people continue to listen and I appreciate the feedback you're giving, but it's not really realistic to be video podcasting because not everyone will have that capability and it would not only completely alter the way everything has to be recorded, but it would completely change the way we're able to discuss topics and freely riff to others without being beholden to include everything. I'm not saying that I can't be better and the show can't improve, but I also am not looking at this as a second job and i spend about 6-8 hours a week on each episode between recording, editing and posting and any more than that is pushing it. Anyway, know my last response was short and hopefully this clarifies things a bit.

  • My quote was speaking to him because he was speaking for you. It was not written for you as there was no previous comment from you. I apologize for implying that. It was generically inspired and I hadn't a clue at the time if the shoe fit. I'll write more later.

  • All good, like I said, we've spoken for a long time on here so I just wanted to clarify things from my end.

    You want to much he's not being paid to do this, he can't be like the paid interviews with bungie and why brother with a Twitter feed really. I agree with making it shorter but that's it.

  • *Slaps you across the face*...you have no love, no drive, no dreams. That's what losers say. "I'm not getting paid so I won't make myself better, put in effort and learn skills in the process even though I love what I'm doing." EVERYBODY WANTS COMPENSATION AND IF A LITTLE EFFORT IS WHAT IT TAKES THEN SO BE IT. Don't speak for him.

Sols had nothing to do with bungie as a fan. I don't want compensation for taking time out to listen to his podcast it was my chioce to do so, you think you dersevre something for listening? god you must think poorly of all those teachers etc who do what they love for nothing and all they expect is the child to be thankful he is getting an education at all. And I'll speak for him it's a free country I can do what ever I like.

  • You're wrong everywhere. You're a consumer. You don't get compensated. The fact you interpreted that from my response tells me to leave. Secondly, teachers do get compensated. That's why they can feed their children and live under a roof. The conundrum is why they aren't receiving more.

  • I'm not sure I'm getting where your coming from as a consumer when And yes I do agree with you there but in some places they don't such as Africa.

  • Do you even realise how much that would cost everyone how much time that would take? now I slap you across the face for being a child and not resize sing, web cams, programming tools to make episodes cost money and time, stop being A child and ask sols how many days or hours did it take you to organ size and put that podcast together from start to finish? We are doing this over mic so it take less time and we can edit out mistakes etc, why do we need webcam footage with scrolling news feed in the first place? no on you tube does that, if you want something like that do it yourself you must have the money and resources to do it but can't be brothered if your complaining about how sols chooses to do it.
