I want a longer weekly podcast and an even longer fortnightly podcast. MOAR.
Frame Trap should not ever end until the last person passes out from dehydration or exhaustion. The EZA podcast ending after 2 hours is OK though.
I know you're partly joking and I understand that people want more content from them. But I also think it would be a good idea to offer different types of content for different parts of the audience. To take a bit from a Final Bosman episode I love a lot and make fun of myself a little,
I wish I had time to watch and listen to all the hours of content they put out. I wish I had the time for that. But I have so many things to do, ugh (in reference to
this part of the episode).
That's not to say that I'd want them to "dumb down" the content or be more like other YouTube channels, which more "digestable" content for 13 year-olds.
Personally, I can't keep up with their output at all and that's absolutely fine. I've been supporting them since day one, just for the podcast and everything else I can watch is is a bonus for me. That's also why I don't feel entitled for them to cater to me, nor would I ever think about pulling my pledge, because
they make too much content. But I hope to get my point across in the reply below.
I don't want the podcast to be much longer than it is now, but the current length of somewhere around the hour and a half mark feels like a great length to me, as Kyle no longer has to rush through things to end on time like what was often the case in the GT Time days.
The way I understand it is that the podcast takes longer than before, because of Love+Respect, which is a segment I actually enjoy most of the time and Kyle wants it to have a longer part in the podcast. And you're absolutely right that rushing the end has been an issue.
I realize that I haven't made a good argument as to why they should do this. "I don't want to invest more time to consume their content" is definitely not a good one and it comes over like I'd want them to produce less content or take something away from you guys. That's definitely not the point. I don't want them to compromise their vision and scale back their ambitions like developers of a PS4 game that has to be ported to the Vita (
I love you, Huber).
I really don't want them to cut Love+Respect at all. It was a great segment on GT Time and it's actually vital for the EZA Podcast, since the questions come from backers themselves and it's an incentive for others to up their pledge or pledge at all.
As unlikely as it is, my suggestion would be to spin-off Love+Respect into its own show instead. Making it an hour or however long they want it to be. It would shorten the EZA podcast while getting another podcast/show out and uping the total amount of content. It's just something I'm throwing out and would like them to think about.
To make it perfectly clear. It's not a huge deal, of course. I'm being a whiny little diva, tilting at windmills and this is not supposed to be a huge discussion. 1h20 or 1h30 isn't terribly long and I could always skip parts I don't like (which don't exist) or listen to it sped up (which I'd never do). My entire point is that for some people, it's easier to listen/watch to their content, when it's not all one big chunk. I listen to a ton of podcasts (37 subs right now) and as an avid podcast listener himself, maybe Kyle understands when I say that the "big stuff" kinda gets in the way (and yes, Kyle, I agree. There absolutely are "podcast games"!) To me it's like having a huge music playlist and your favorite artist releases always releases the entire album as one track. It would be easier to listen to the album, if you could split it up and mix it through the playlist. That's why I honestly think my proposal wouldn't be such a bad idea.
Anyway, I didn't want to ruffle any feathers. I still love the podcast the way it is, but I wouldn't mind two separate shows with 1h runtime each.
Cheers and, of course, love and respect.
