During the offseason we're looking at possibly doing 2-3 episodes per month. If we wander into NFL talk or discussions usually reserved for Yella's Record Shoppe, is that going to be a turn off or be just fine?

    No NFL. Ask @Doog_de_Jour as a weekly regular segment.

    If you can find her.

    I think off-season pods would be great. Record shop would be a good add. Recruiting of course. Doesn’t sound like you’d go there, but I’m not interest in any talk of Seattle politics. I moved away so I’d never have to hear that shit again.

    No we would avoid politics

    Meander however you’d like. I dig it. It’s all entertainment.

    Throw a bone to younger audiences and do UW history, spotlight games or seasons from the 20th century, rotating guests (keep the core but bring a +1 doogles/DDJ or equivalent when possible), if OT make it related to something on the forums like yellow's board.

    I nominate YOU to be the +1 sometime.

    It would be fun to watch you shit post about the episodes without ever listening, then see how close you get to being right about the actual content of the pods.

    No to the NFL talk unless it’s making fun of 12s.

    Yes, that is the only loophole

    Would appreciate more references to Barry McCockener and humor of similar taste

    Yes, more bits on Karen Ramming Barry McCockener

    Who cares about the dead air and technical problems. That's what makes it real. No NFL please. Maybe some recruiting news (if any). Also agree with earlier post, how about digging up some history? Maybe some pods dedicated to past teams under certain coaches, highlight a few years and some of the stories about top players during that time.

    As a young UW fan the first season I truly remember watching was 2006.. the history portion would be pretty awesome, I’ve always enjoyed Derek’s story’s about Don James

    Sounds like what you're really looking for is content advice, but I'm going to go with what the title suggests you're looking for. w/respect.

    Listened to every pod so far, enjoyed them, all three of the main players and every guest have been likeable. BUT... I don't think you guys have nailed it yet from a technical standpoint. You guys still sound like you're trying to record a podcast and are uncomfortable doing so instead of just sounding like three guys talking (terrible Husky) football. I'm guessing it's exactly what I would sound like were I trying to do what you're doing. Because I would be "trying" instead of just naturally doing.

    We talk a lot of shit about Softy and the former Honks and whatnot, but there really is a talent to come across naturally over the air. I think that was TSIO's strongest suit (being hilariously wrong about everything was a close second). I'm not a technically gifted podcaster, so I have no idea what it takes to pull that off, but it's kind of like Potter Stewart on pornography: you know it when you hear it. If I were you guysm, I'd work on eliminating the dead air and confusion about who's turn it is to talk. Maybe that's difficult because you're not in the same room, and maybe you have to establish some kind of hierarchy such that nobody's afraid of talking over each other because there's an established pecking order of who yields to who when it happens. I don't know.

    That's my feedback. w/respect.

    In earlier episodes we got a handful of complaints that we were often talking over the top of each other. There's a slight delay so when one person talks the other two don't hear it until a very slight delay has passed. So we have become self-conscious of that and always try to not talk over the top of each other.

    But in terms of three guys sitting around talking Husky football, we've become pretty comfortable with that. Though I do think there is room for improvement.

    Anyway, that's the reason why it maybe seems just slightly out of sync at times.

    We'll have something history-oriented this spring.
