i just really dont like listening to recordings of ppl talking like radio audio books whatever im just not into it i find it irritating
― lag∞n, Friday, 17 January 2020 23:54 (four years ago) link
i do it cos all the good ocntent is on there but i dont enjoy it. i listen at 1.25X speed so i can get through it quick and speed up the pod voice cadences

the only two pods i got into were on the same long drive the one abt the manson family and the one about buddy cianci they were both excellent

I'd like to go back to the 2001 version of me and say "in 2020, Simmons will *still* be talking about Rounders"

Totally agree w p much all the negative criticisms but dude knows nba past and present. Generally find it worthwhile to put up with his grating qualities to get that sweet gooey bball knowledge.

That said I feel like he has same problem I have with most sports talk: too much "insider baseball shit", salary and trade talk, and not enough about strategy and personalities and scouting. Which is why you I've been gravitating to the ex or current player-run podcasts
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Saturday, 18 January 2020 01:57 (four years ago) link
yeah cld see that

man but how else will you know if bill's college roommate ate a good brunch last weekend?

i support anyone getting a good brunch so kudos to him

gotta be me!
― lag∞n, Saturday, 18 January 2020 02:10 (four years ago) link
To me, the insider stuff is the only reason to listen to him on basketball. If he tries to talk strategy or scouting, I'm fastforwarding to the brunch talk.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Saturday, 18 January 2020 02:14 (four years ago) link
Well there's insider stuff from player perspective which I love a ton. And there's insider stuff from a beat reporter type perspective or about the league as a business, which I could not care less about. Different strokes tho obv. Seems like most sports fans eat that stuff up.
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Saturday, 18 January 2020 02:19 (four years ago) link
By insider stuff I mean more like "Delonte West fucked Lebron's mom"

loool

Lol. Ya I don't care about the soap opera stuff

there are plenty of things to get on bill about, but it's pretty darn impressive what he's built from scratch in barely five years.

can someone briefly explain how podcasts make money (i really have no idea). are people paying to subscribe?
― mookieproof, Saturday, 18 January 2020 03:35 (four years ago) link
in-pod ads are v common
― Clay, Saturday, 18 January 2020 03:38 (four years ago) link
ok, thanks
lol advertisers
― mookieproof, Saturday, 18 January 2020 03:40 (four years ago) link
squarespace, stamps dot com, and leesa mattress. Most have also begun to ask siri or google questions during the cast in the form of a really shit disguised ad.

i was stunned when i looked into pod advertising rates; given the low overhead you can make a *lot* of money if you have the audience

if i listened to podcasts, or honestly deeply cared about the NBA, i would absolutely pay like a dollar a month to hear lag∞n and k3vin talk about hoops -- except that i get a dollar back every time the celtics are mentioned

ESPN could not have possibly dropped the ball any worse on this. They should’ve dominated the entire podcast market.
Also: RIP to anybody at the Ringer who doesn’t do podcasts.
