Re:SadCAST Sci Fi podcast #1 – In the can!
Downloaded and watched it (using a player called juice). It was good for a laugh – no offense intended. The lighthearted and ramshackle approach was part of its charm, and helped set the general tone. It mostly worked as an introduction to everyone, and an attempt to find your feet ‘on air’. Hated the music though – the in your face aggression seems completely out of place. Can’t you find something more sci fi (electronic?) than the sound of people banging rubbish bin lids together whilst torturing kittens to death? 🙂
As for the content – I’m not sure what you want to be yet. An informal look at sci -fi, a weekly overview, a preview, or collection of opinions , etc? I can’t speak for anyone else, but I’d like to see more ‘substance’ or discussion/info that can’t be gleaned from anywhere else (including internet forums or news postings). Not sure what to suggest, but maybe you could model yourself on talk radio (where a theme or topic is discussed amongst people). Sci Fi attracts a range of people and opinions, and it would be nice if the show could reflect that.
It was great fun, and I look forward to seeing the next one, but I’m not sure I can remain interested indefinitely. Hopefully the podcasts will be able to distinguish themselves as something other than ‘good for a laugh’ and become mandatory viewing amongst sci fi fans across the world. Good luck with it.
