Be Excellent To Each Other

Turns out I did it on page six, but spelt it wrong.

Hey Riddle Riddle have a (very untypical episode for them) chat with Ross Kimball (actor) about Jury Duty, if you want to cross some streams. "*Unlocked* Review Crew #44: Jury Duty w/Ross Kimball"

I've started a podcast and I'd love you all to listen to it... I'm ultra critical of these things and am already looking at ways of improving it so please, feel free to let me know what you think and of course, if you'd like to give it a positive review... I'd be forever in your debt!

Look, much love and all, but I couldn’t get past the first three minutes unfortunately. It all sounded a little bit like Capital FM radio DJs filling time. I really hated the name thing instantly. Is that how you converse in real life cause it kinda needed to be more real life for me to drift into listening in to a casual conversation between pals. Of course, if that’s how you normally have a conversation…

And if something is billed as being about people talking about “pineapples”, how am I supposed to know if this is something I want to listen to. Surely, SURELY, this needs to be retro video game centric doesn’t it!? If you had some good insights about Rise of the Robots I might even stick around!

Anyway, just my very ill thought out feelings. Again, much love to you, man, and respect for doing it in the first place.

Oh, I'll have a listen to this when I have some brain space!

I did actually listen to some of this and then totally forgot to say so. I listened to it the day you put it up, so a while ago, so I’ll give you my lasting impressions.

I think it needs to settle in a bit. You’re both intelligent, articulate, and interesting, but it does have that ‘brand new podcast’ feel. The other chappy (sorry, I’ve forgotten his name and can’t re-click it without losing what I’m typing) sounds a bit over-excited/eager, whereas you almost sound the opposite. Either so relaxed that you don’t seem too fussed, or maybe even a little reticent. Between the two of you it sounds like two different manifestations of first day nerves, but I think it will find its rhythm with time.

It also sounded, to me, like your friend had brought the content and you were the reactions guy, from the parts I listened to and remember, and coupled with the fact that he sounds louder, closer to the mic and more excitable than you, the dynamic feels a little imbalanced, but that might just be the bits I listened to. I think you personally need to have a bit more of the content, and just find the pace between you. I think it will work and you’ll find a natural pace and to and fro after a few episodes, and it will work lovely.

Make it YouTube and I'm more likely to consume it. I really struggle with podcasts/talk radio. The exact same content with video. I lap up.

Having said that, I have listened to the first 15 minutes or so. And yeah it does seem a bit too beginners.

So far your mate seems to be the less impressive one, but maybe that's 'cos I know you, whereas I don't know him.

I'll try and listen to the rest and finish my thoughts.

Episode two of 'When it comes crashing down with Dan and Ross' is now available on your favourite podcast app.

This is an 80s movie special and once again, I'd welcome your comments. It's only our second go at this but I'm still enjoying it.

Episode 3 of when it comes crashing down with Dan and Ross is now available!

Listen to it here.

Honestly... It's fantastic!

Just caught up.. It is quite sad it is all over..

They're doing a "best of" right now, but it's a best of "them" rather than "the books", if you see what I mean.

Just seen them. I will pop on my list.

Yesterday's day-long celebration of Shakespeare on Radio 3 was an absolute joy, with actors reading out classic speeches mixed around Bard-related tunes.

It's the kind of special event that works really well on live radio and reminded me just how much better Shakey is when taken out of the classroom.
