BBI Podcast to return during the Month of July

gidiefor : Mod : 6/20/2017 8:20 am
Excited at the prospect of a new football season? Training Camp commences this July 27, and it is our plan, in preparation for Training Camp to take an in-depth look at the roster by reviewing and evaluating the position groups starting with the QBs and RBs in early July, and then to cover Training Camp leading into the season. We have upgraded our broadcasting equipment and will be testing it out so that our broadcast team can bring you clear meaty analysis of the team the way we like here at BBI. Thanks to the urging of Dave Te Thomas - Eric, Sy'56 and I are excited to begin an expansion of our coverage of the team using more of a mixed-media approach.

We hope you will bear with us as we develop this approach - and appreciate any constructive suggestions.

Our first phase - July Pre-Training Camp Position Reviews - will take the form of written reviews by Eric, which will be posted each week, following up each posting with a taped broadcast. Feel free to pepper us, in addition to suggestions, with any questions you want us to consider.
I am very pleased to hear this

I used to really enjoy the podcast when it was going many years ago, I currently listen to Big Blue Kickoff Live, and visit this forum, those are my only real outlets to listen to giants news/opinions and get into discussions, look forward to the return of the BBI podcast
Great news

Been listening to Art Stapleton abd the Big Blue View podcasts among others. Always enjoyed Eric's take and the draft podcasts were great.

How will they be distributed? The draft podcasts were a little shakey with poor audio quality.
Mike - we are signing up with a podcast service

either lybsyn or blubrry. The podcasts will be downloadable from the service. We have definitely upgraded the sound equipment. We still need to do real tests on it, but you should see marked improvements in the sound quality. Eric broadcasts really well, so adding his voice will also be an upgrade.
Thanks Gidie!

Hopefully it will be a regular occurrence. Maybe even a special guest can make an appearance.

Is a return of the 'BBI Player of the Year' award the next thing on your agenda? :-)

The Simms show was cool and I miss Garafolo

He was a great beat reporter for the Giants. The pickings are not great these days. I am partial to Stapleton's fairly grounded assessments of the team.

Stapleton is very good in interviews (i.e., the old Giants roundtable with Hanlon).
This is great news

Really enjoyed the draft podcasts. Occasional guests would be great but even if it's just a few of you guys talking Giants football (without callers) I would definitely listen.
I'm not real good at podcasts...

I really enjoyed the draft podcasts, but basically I'm on watch here at BBI for anything posted because I have a hard time finding podcasts elsewhere. Just never really figured out the technology needed for it to work.

Right now I use Google Play Music on my phone to listen to a few podcasts I subscribe to. When you say that you are looking at a few different publishers does that mean I will have to get another app to subscribe, or will I be able to find it via Google Play Music?

Sorry for the dumb question - I'm embarrassed at how unfamiliar I am with this aspect of technology.

Gidie, if you're hosting I would take a month or so and practice your cadance, delivery and pacing.

For reference watch or listen to Bob Papa and how he delivers content. Typically your delivery was too hesitant, and you reiterated opinion when you should of been turning the conversation to the next point.

Though you did do a good job when experts we're talking and you got out of the way and let them talk.

Also, as a host you can't be in awe of your guests. You are an equal and it's your show.

The host needs to take control and guide the show with a good hand. Your job is take make sure me as the listener doesn't get bored and irritated by repeated comments and opinion.

(I've done (hosted) podcasting and live vidcasts over the last 6 or so years)

Just some thoughts to producing good content. I hope your aound is better.

If you need help or want to run through stuff with a random guy on the Internet let me know.
Publishers..  
Dodge : 6/20/2017 9:03 pm : link
Publishers are just services that host content and push it to various podcast services. Think iTunes.

Dan - We appear to be settling on libsyn - and I believe they get it out to the various services -- but I will check on Google play music
