What Drives Us and PriusChat Podcasts

I like both podcasts as is...

 

I agree with Steve. I've tried to listen to these casts, but I just can't get into it. Discussions do not hold my attention as I sense they're ill-prepared, and seem to loose topic focus and discussion direction.

 

This is good feedback.

I thoroughly enjoy the shows but it can always be better. Keep the input coming.

 

Nah, you were not in them so they were lacking in sarcasm and humor. I like it with you on the panel.

 

Thanks for the feedback and when I say that, I mean it. I'm glad some people were engaged enough to be listening and posting about the show.

To steve's comment:

-I'd be lying if I said that same thought has been echoing a little bit in my head lately (that we should be more prepped).
-Excuse: All of us on the show do other things during the day. While I prep the news (so I really have no excuse) some of them don't see the topics until not long before the show. Which doesn't mean better prep isn't a good point. It is.
-It's russell


To bob:

-Thanks dude!


To twittel:

-I'll admit to this, we don't really try to be the show for everyone. Part of the payoff for all of us who do the show without getting paid (and that's everyone) is that we do the show we would like. And yes, that means that "style" (or lack thereof) may not connect with everyone. It would be great to be everyone's favorite show but we don't try to be. Which isn't to say we aren't always looking for ways to be better or more appealing, we are. We just want to do it our way. Who knows? In a year we may come simpering back begging for listeners and be very stoic. I doubt it but it could happen.
-Thank you for at least trying to listen. Seriously, I appreciate it.


To f8l:

-You are a huge asset to show. I think you've shown that in your first appearance. We don't even miss Schaefer...


To Tony:

-Tony, you know I'm kidding. You know I love you like a brother. You know the show wouldn't be anything without your involvement. Take a break dude but do come back to us. The only reason we had that justin guy on is we all got tired of shouting out to him every week.


Thanks again, everyone, for taking to the time to post a thought or two.

 

Russell and Gang,

I am many weeks behind on both podcasts. I enjoy some episodes and feel rather ho hum about others but that is to be expected.

Russell you tossed this thread out a few months ago and it did not go very far but since it is somewhat related to this one I will put the link up here.

Thanks, Russell! And thank you to everyone providing input. As Danny's replacement and new co-host of the show I plan on ending world hunger and the polarization of political parties. With my hand at the helm, global warming will cool off and Charlie Sheen will no longer be "winning"! I plan to rejuvenate our economy with innovative measures to control trade tariffs and I will save polar bears and burrowing owls in the process.

Ok, I'm kidding. Now back to work!

 

Thanks for talking about the show Russell!

I guess I like the little bit of "off the cuff" way about it, kind of like any real discussion would be amongst knowledgeable participants.

A more rigid, scripted, prepared for show, would feel more like an advertisement to me.

Roundtable versus news story...

 

I love both shows. What Drives Us does seem more developed and prepared. It also has double the input for discussion, in that there are usually 4 panelist instead of PriusChat's 2. I love them both, and look forward to them each week. Where's that Kenwood Low-Profile Sub contest?
