Posted on: August 23rd, 2009 How Was Your Weak: The Scourge of the Weekly Podcast
Those who can’t do, teach… and those who can’t podcast, criticize the fuck out of them; and that’s what I’m doing here today.
I’ve been listening to podcasts for several years now (4 or 5?), in that time it has become abundantly clear that a lot of shows rely heavily on the “how was your week” recap for the majority of their content. It’s fine when there is an amusing story that comes from it, but I find that it’s usually just a fucking boring To-Do list read aloud.
Do your listeners give a fuck that you went to the fucking grocery store? Do they fucking care what you bought while you were there? If something interesting happened while you were there, talk about that. Tell us about the piece of shit in front of you that’s shopping from the line, don’t tell us about the fucking contents of your shopping cart. If nothing interesting happened during your week, it isn’t necessary to drone through it just to fill up time.
