This is just from my personal experience. I am aware that the podcast was uploaded a long time ago; however, I would still like to give my input on the experience I had with this episode.
I had to rewind a couple of times to understand what Stephen was saying. I didn't even know what his name was because he said it so fast and unclearly. He said, "Hello, I am animator Stephen Brooks," I felt that for a podcast intro, it's important for the audience to understand who the host is, especially if it's a prominent aspect of the show. That needs to be said very clearly; it's not something that can be glossed over. However, you can still communicate high energy while doing so.
I feel the intro is too drawn out and filled with information that doesn't provide any value to the listener. It's simply advertising, which I don't care about. I want to hear what Harry has to say; that's why I clicked on the podcast. I don't know what the Rubberonion Animation Podcast is, and if I were to be concerned with it, it would be recognizing that the Rubberonion Animation Podcast is capable of providing quality content. While I appreciate timestamps, is too condensed, the typography is extremely cramped making it difficult to read. I feel there should be a higher emphasis on spacing for the "Topics & Timestamps" to make it easier to read.
In my experience, timestamps in podcasts are a use of resources because they take a significant amount of time to set up. Setting them up for every topic can be tedious. Instead, I feel that they should be used sparingly and for significant topic changes. They should only be included when the event calls for it and if it is specifically relevant to the audience. Additionally, it is difficult to read when all of the text is combined, and long strings of descriptions describing what is going on make it very difficult to follow.
I would prefer it if the link to Harry was at least above the "Support Me on Patreon" link, as well as above the links to Twitter and YouTube. I found it confusing that there was not a clear separation for that. Pointing arrows to the links also feels cumbersome. I don't like the way they look with Harry's links below the Patreon link. I know none of you are most likely ever going to read this, and this is also well in the past. This is simply in case someone else stumbles across this review and gets some random perspective, like mine, on this podcast.
When it comes to choosing which podcasts to listen to, there are many choices, and podcasts require a significant time investment to get into. The podcast gets really good as it progresses, and Harry is really funny. What I find weird is how Rob is present, but there isn't much incentive for him to interact. The only thing I recall is Stephen saying Rob is excited by cuss words. Overall great listening experience!
