Just a Bit Outside - "Season Preview"


JaboVancouver

Recommended Posts

Our season preview episode is up! There seems to be a real split in this market between cautious optimism and pessimism. We discuss this year's roster along with what's going in Utica and Europe. The question is whether fans will be able to look past what could be a disappointing season and towards the bigger picture as prospects continue to develop from juniors, to NCAA, the AHL and Europe. It's been fun chatting with some of you on the messages boards, whether we agree or disagree and I will be on here all season for more. It should be an interesting ride!

Ignore the haters. I've been hoping for something new, and way more positive than the "journalism" we have here. I've lived and worked across the country over the last 20 years and Vancouver media is by far the most negative. They look for the cloud in the silver lining. I guarantee if we ever win the cup in 6 games, someone from the Province will complain it should have only taken 5. Keep it coming.

looks amateur. no thanks. i would rather listen to bro jake and the pratt man over this. 

you guys should do your own podcasts then. my advice would be to have a personality before you talk down on other people's work, before sputtering out a bunch of sentence fragments

Currently listening to the first episode and it's interesting. I like it. :) The volume seems to be a little quiet, though.

its quite loud for me, maybe you have your flash or your browser volume turned low on your volume toolbar

 

after listening to the first episode, i like how you guys have a tongue-in-cheek humour but maybe going over your notes a little more, before going on the air, to avoid stuttering, which i've heard early on, but you guys found your stride. there's potential in the podcast and it sounds a little more professional than other amateur canucks podcasts i've heard. i found the two guys had some chemistry. i wouldn't mind hearing more

I'll happily wade through the negativity and sensationalism of traditional media for one reason: credentials. 

 

until the guys writing the blogs and making the podcasts attain a level of access to the players, coaches and execs that I don't have myself, they can't tell me anything I don't already know. 

 

even though you're attempting to eschew the mainstream media, all of the info you have to talk about came directly from them anyway. all bloggers and other amateurs effectively do is add another layer of obfuscation to an already biased and opinionated journalistic endeavour.

I'd add to this that the rise of social media is also solely to blame for the steep decline in journalistic integrity present within the mainstream media.

 

with the creation of a platform that allows the uninformed "amateur journalist" to blast his thoughts, opinions, rumours and speculation out into the airwaves, where they're difficult to differentiate from those published by legitimate media members, traditional media has had to lower their standards in order to compete.

 

amateurs feel no obligation to wait for corroboration of a theory, let alone confirmation of the truth, before they publish something because they have nothing to lose. these "stories" that haven't been fact checked or vetted are far sexier, more exciting, and more immediate than a story on the same topic that has actually gone through the necessary fact finding and due diligence required to responsibly publish something. as a result, people flock to the shiny things and traditional media, who still have to sell papers and garner tv ratings, suffer. so they drop their standards of accuracy in the name of speed and entertainment, and we all lose.

and like with all amateur media, my stance will be a resounding 'NOT'. 

 

the thing is it's irresponsible to publish an uninformed opinion in a manner that is competing with informed opinions.

they arent competing with anyone. it's just a fan-made podcast with a couple of guys using a platform to express their opinions. it's no different than posting on cdc, facebook comments, or twitter. why bother wasting your time chopping these guys down for not being "insiders" when you can just listen to the **** in 1040 or tsn radio like all of these other sheep who "know everything"

Like our Facebook page, follow us on Twitter and tell us what you think. If you agree with what we are saying let us know, if you think we have no idea what we are talking about that's great, we want to hear from you too. Listen to our podcast and lets start the discussion.

That was my first podcast.  It took my a bit to figure out how to get it to play, but once I did you guys were okay.  So, I'm guessing these things are not interactive: you guys tape each show, right?  

My only recommendation is to add a ex TV star from a top notch 80's sitcom.  It would help your ratings.:):):):):):):):):):):)
