iPod Hey- Criticize my Podcast Please

[notsam]

Hey guys, I have a podcast up at http://podcast.notsam.com (also on iTunes- as The Notsam Radio Podcast). Let me know what you think. I use audacity, garage band, and iWeb to produce it and publish it and I'm in need of some constructive criticism/feedback. Let me know what you think

I don't know if a criticism on the Podcast persay, but It isn't funny. Might want to work on that, since it's marketed as such.

 

[notsam]

thankyou sir, do you have any tips on what would be considered funny?

 

[jimsowden]

(I really don't mean to me mean, I'm a critical person by nature, and of course humor is subjective) For me, it's all about the timing. That's what the comedic greats had down to a science, their timing. I think if you have good or even slightly weak material and you deliver it well, it can be really, really funny. (Look at Will Ferrell)

 

[notsam]

Yeah, you're right. Will Ferrell has done really well as a leading man. I could totally see him hosting a radio show.

If that's sarcasm, it's entirely misplaced. If not then I agree.

If you ask for criticism then can't accept someone's opinion, you're not going to get very far.

Having listened to a snippet of Podcast 5, technically I'd just say try and make the levels a bit more consistent.

As for the humour, personally, it's not my cup of tea but no doubt there's a niche out there for it.
