So we're planning to do a more constant show maybe once a week or once every two weeks. Anything anyone want to hear on the show or changes and stuff? Reply here!
We're a Eurobeat/Techno podcast, and some of our hosts don't even dance ParaPara so it wouldn't be fair if we included it in there. ParaPara talk tends to get boring for most people, especially if they aren't into that aspect of the culture. ParaPara stuff gets posted more on the blog rather than waste time on air.Tiger wrote:more comments about how the dances are and just parapara stuff in general... i feel it doesn't get mentioned enough sometimes even though it is heavily a part of eurobeat. I would also like to hear more Techno one-track flashbacks like Have A Nice Day, Balloony, or Ave Ave.
Well, even if it is just a small thing like "This dance is really good" as you review a song, I think that's fine. You don't have to dedicate an entire section over it.Cosmic_Bard wrote:I think you guys spend enough time talking para para and the Japanese dance club scene as it is. It's much less exciting and fun to talk about para para when it's over the radio.![]()
I can not STRESS how important that is. For two reasons, one that it lets people know there's a new ep up and the second being what Mr. Showers said above. I mean it's interesting hearing you guys discuss but it's frustrating not being able to reply to what you're hearing. Also you would definitely have much more indirect feedback this way. Discussion generates interest, interest generates more listeners (or rather, keeps them around) ^^vShawaazu wrote:Maybe post on the blog when you put up a new episode, so the listeners can comment on the show if they want or discuss what was said.
While you may not have mentioned his name in the podcast (maybe you did? I dont remember) just the fact that a lot of people would knew who you're referring to wasn't very impressive. You definitely could have ranted without making personal attacks at him and still have gotten your point across. I may have agreed with a lot of what was said but I literally winced a lot listening to it and thought it was indeed a low blow.I've only listened to the show a few TIMEs, but I gotta say; I think it hit an allTIME low with that Lebon bashing one. I'm not defending him in any way, but I'm sure there are 100 other better topics than just repeating the word Tra La La for an hour. besides without even thinking about it, you guys made him the spotlight of the hour. Not too cool
Don't stop the para talk Dom. While I and very few other listeners may already know what you're talking about there's a lot that don't and appreciate it. Like was said below, there's no need to go DEEP in depth and change the discussion all together towards para. I think the more topics that relate to Euro and Techno the better. In other words, it doesn't hurt to discuss these things especially if it will bring in more listeners. Considering you guys are planning on doing more episodes than the once a month formula, maybe a shorter edition geared towards para would be beneficial if you really want to keep it out of the podcast all together? I would definitely love to help with thisYour insights into that are really interesting to listen to, though d~tan, it's like you're a window into a world most of us won't get a chance to see. ^_^
