I for one Liked Buffy!
Anyway, congrats guys that was surprisingly listenable. After that rocky start I was sure I was going to be in for an awful hour. After you guys hit your stride it was actually pretty good.
A few things I noted:
1. 1 Hour is too long. Perhaps a 30 or 45 minute cap would keep things moving along better. I'd rather leave feeling that there were more things to talk about than listen to topics being beat to death
2. The show flowed most smoothly when que played "host" and shot a direct topic at one person, then everyone discussed the topic. For example, when que asked Idol about photography. This also seemed to eliminate the ugly pregnant pauses.
Given that there's a bit of a learning curve for this, and given that not everybody is well suited to "radio" (I was happy to hear that Dan and Cools both handled themselves with grace and were very listenable), I don't know that it's a great idea to constantly be shifting people around and trying to get a new cast every time. But of course I don't really want to leave people out if they want to participate... so it sort of leaves me in a bind. We haven't discussed this kind of thing in great detail yet, so we'll have to get some kind of official consensus as to how we want to do things going forward.
It seems to me the show would be best with a few regular hosts and 1-2 "guests" each podcast., Similar to what TWiT does, with a regular stable of rotating guests, but with 3 regular hosts who are there almost every week.
After hearing that, I'd love to be a guest sometime!
