🅐Experiences with, and opinions of podcasts:

My opinion on podcasts is that sometimes they can be pretty interesting to watch if done well!

What makes me interested in listening to a podcast is if people talk about stuff like the origin of something they made or what got them into creating stuff!

🅐Episode choice: 13

It includes 3lation which is a NG creator I recognize immediately.

🅑What you consider valuable in a podcast:

I value the stories of what people go through and how everyone's story of how they came up with something is completely different.

It would probably be on a certain topic if it interests me or if it includes a popular person people know.

🅑Graphic design and text:

Logo's and album covers are usually not what I criticize in podcasts but if they are unique then it's good.

The title and description can also get me invested into a podcast and it communicates pretty well.

🅒Experience:

My experience was pretty good, nothing terrible nothing outstanding.

🅐Activities:

I was just drawing and eating.

Write something, and win!

HOW TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE MISSION:

1. Listen to A100

2. Write feedback on an episode

3. Post your feedback in this thread

You have won Supporter status

If you already have Supporter status: You can give it to someone else, or I choose at random.

[tydaze]

I do like that you get right into the questions quickly. But I think it would be good to start with a very brief introduction of the guest with two pieces of information. Their name, and what they are known for or what kind of things they create. Just to give a bit of context as to who the people are that we are listening to.

[Snowycity]

Is already all good soundin to me tbh I'm sure there's always room for improvement but overall it's just as great as any other!

Well i listened some podcasts a little bit and i would say... they're really cool, really like how some guests share their experiences and talk about how they're so passionate about it, didn't know which podcasts to choose soooo i just chosed the one that said number 1 lmao

And from what i've been listening it's kinda relaxing and almost heartwarming for some experiences they shared, one thing i would appreciate more (more like personally than other thing tho) is more interaction with guests, like yeah it's relaxing and everything but i think a little bit more of interaction would spice it a little bit, is still enjoyable but interactions would be the cherry on top (at least personally for me)

Have to say i'm not like an expert of podcasts or something and just did my best to give an opinion about it, but personally the podcasts are cool, they're heartwarming, relaxing just that, a little bit more of interactions and it would be mwah perfect and also add they're enjoyable soooo not much to say at all (i repeat it, did my best, i'm not an expert of podcasts kjsandkasd)

[SkProductions]

Experiences with, and opinions of podcasts:

Welp prior experiences and opinions of podcast is rough at first but once I started to listen to podcasts on newgrounds I'd started to understand the value of podcasts when it's something that is actually intreasting.

I'm more intrested in how the person got their start in making content since I'm a bit curious about how they got their start in content creation.

Episode choice:https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1279276

Terry-Visual left a wonderful first impression on me ever since I came across the person's animation back in January 2023 with the sureal visuals and awesome effects in the animations.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

What you consider valuable in a podcast:

Having helpful advice is really great to help out content creators who are struggling with problems that they don't know the solution to.

It really brings value to the podcast whenever the person getting interviewed tells about their beginnings and

Graphic design and text:

The logo is perfect and the color choices matches the vibe of Newgrounds, I'd bet the text is like the goal of having 100 episodes.

The description is wonderful and brings insite about who the creator being interviewed is.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

Experience:

I have great time listening to the podcasts and hearing about intresting techniques the creators use in their content. Highlight: Minecraft can be used to create music: 00:20-00:56

Activities:

I'd usually do some digital art/making test animations while listening to the podcasts.

Huh I remeber getting a Private message about this I wonder who... JK It's really wonderful to have others help you out Aalasteir,wait the mission has changed?-Skproductions

[TomaFokio]

Well okay. I was interested in episode 2 with ZaazNG. I like his compositions and his arts. I also liked the quality of this podcast. You've all done a great job! :3

@Chuw-Croissantier WOW! Super thank you! I am extremely thankful for you sharing your feedback. It's interesting to hear you would like more interactions with the guest.

I would say your post is well-written! Should the be interactions more in a professional creative aspect in terms of talking about their craft, or what they do in their personal life?

Should there be more focus on sharing advice?

@SkProductions massive thank you! It wasn't my intention to have 100 episodes, I'm happy to hear that the helpful advice is really good and you're interested in hearing about how they began making content. Yes, the mission changed to have more simple rules.

Thank you for mentioning the description!

Should the focus be the guest giving out the full story of how they got started or should they do highlights?

That can be the difference between that segment being 30 minutes, or upwards of two hours/over.

@Frontlined-Backend thank you! I also have it the same way, I've also looked up other podcasts featuring Stamper, and I listened to the Stamper episodes. Although it did not get me interested in more of the host's other episodes.

What would make you interested in more of the host's other episodes?

@Tomafokio thank you! I'm happy to hear that the quality is good!

What would be 3 main subjects that would be interesting for you to listen to?

[TomaFokio]

@Tomafokio thank you! I'm happy to hear that the quality is good!

I am interested in hearing about a person's motivation, finances and creativity :3

I think a mix of 'em would be cool, like... one interaction in a creative aspect and one in the personal aspect like variating the way of interactions and stuff, basically making a balance of it, at least that's what i think

PS: Also thank you very much for the support!!! i really appreciate it!!

🅐Experiences with, and opinions of podcasts:

In my teen years I tried and failed to start a couple of podcasts, I wasn't really taking it very seriously though. Just recording myself talking about stuff like Yugioh or personal life stuff and throwing it up on YouTube. They're all private now.

In my old friend group there were 5 of us that tried to get a podcast going, but honestly I can't remember what it was about, even vaguely. I've always liked the idea of hosting one or being on one though, I just couldn't do it on my own. There would need to be someone else there whom I share good chemistry with. Also if I did start a podcast, I have no idea what it would be about.

The only podcast that I actively listened to on a semi-regular basis was Cortex with CGP Grey and Myke Hurley which I enjoyed at the time. I could probably listen to it again now, but I don't currently.

What interests me in podcasts is hearing about other people's life experiences and their values. When Cortex started out it was supposed to be just a thing where Myke would interview Grey about how he produces his videos, but then it turned into more of a general productivity and tech show with both participants talking about their views and experiences with the apps they use for example. I really liked that at the time.

🅐Episode choice:

14 and 15. I chose them as they are the most recent, it seems to me the most recent work is more likely to be the best representative of the whole.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

🅑What you consider valuable in a podcast:

I value a good discussion with a chill atmosphere for all parties, including the listener. The only thing that would interest me in listening to a podcast nowadays is if it were on a subject I was interested in or if someone was on it who I wanted to hear from.

🅑Graphic design and text:

The logo is a bit simple but in a way it works, hell I'd probably do something similar. I do worry that it doesn't stand out though.

It might be just the episodes I listened to, but the description of the podcast mentions "a convo format with attitude" and I'm not sure I heard any "attitude" in it, though honestly I think I prefer it that way. Again I just like a chill vibe.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

🅒Experience:

Episode 14 felt like it dragged on for far too long, the host barely said a word. I imagine in the raw recording they spoke more and it was just edited out. Episode 15 was slightly more enjoyable, but towards the end I felt like it went off the rails from what I assumed was meant to be primarily an interview format.

In both cases however, I found most of what the participants were talking about very interesting - hearing about where they started in their creative journeys, what software they use, what they did before they really got into creating things, their advice for other individuals etc. It was very interesting.

How would you define good chemistry? Is it possible to have good chemistry with someone who doesn't share the same personality?

Yes, that's some bullshit I made up because I thought it made sense, in my mind I thought I would talk more although every single time I do a recording session I primarily listen because I don't want to interrupt the guest. Personally I despise when the host talks too much because they are stupid and they don't know what they're talking about, I can relate to that but it doesn't mean I want to listen to it.

Episode 14 felt like it dragged on for far too long, the host barely said a word. I imagine in the raw recording they spoke more and it was just edited out. Episode 15 was slightly more enjoyable, but towards the end I felt like it went off the rails from what I assumed was meant to be primarily an interview format.

Yes XD I spoke slightly more, I felt it made more sense if the focus was on Frank, I've listened to Opie and Anthony, and Howard Stern because they have good clips. Along with the DEEP lore, It's Warhammer 40,000 level shit.

Keep in mind I'm an autismic dude, I'm not sure how it went off the rails? That is definitely some Mega Man IQ level Einstein clues that I'm missing.

Would you say it's a problem I don't talk that much?

In both cases however, I found most of what the participants were talking about very interesting - hearing about where they started in their creative journeys, what software they use, what they did before they really got into creating things, their advice for other individuals etc. It was very interesting.

Thank you so much I'm happy to hear the subjects are interesting.

It would probably be pretty weird if I reccommended you talk to artists I know then I listen to you two talk.
Idk interveiw clearly insane people that would be interesting

@Frontlined-Backend yeah, that would be weird, you're right. It's an interesting idea to interview unique characters.

Aw, thank you!

How would you define good chemistry? Is it possible to have good chemistry with someone who doesn't share the same personality?

To be honest, I'm not sure. Maybe? I think good chemistry for a podcast means that all people involved sound like they're having a good time and/or contributing to the discussion in a meaningful way. In an interview format, chemistry could just be something as simple as the interviewer asking follow-up questions based on what the interviewee has said, it shows that they're engaged in what the other person is saying. I'm not entirely certain but that's what comes to mind.

Thank you! Why doesn't it stand out much? What would stand out?

I only say it doesn't stand out that much because it's essentially just a single shape. Thinking further though, the podcasts I have seen tend to have simpler logos. I might be overthinking it.

Not necessarily, I think for episode 14 I just found it a bit jarring, could just be a me thing.

You are absolutely right they do tend to have simple logos.

From my experience doing my show: It is a necessity because the pipeline from conception to production is already very long, and if there was an added process of adding a unique album cover for each episode, the process would be even more complicated.
