Hi,
While i am glad you received my review on iTunes, I really did not appreciate your dismissive and defensive response to my concerns. I was going to revisit my rating once the mono/stereo was resolved. As to not noticing your podcast in-between the two stereo shows, I lost that episode in a malfunctioning new iPod and didn’t go back to get it so I didn’t notice it. Never assume what you think someone else knows.
I still believe that some of your APB reports are far too long. I am sorry that you only get to talk on podcast days and I enjoy some chit-chat about life and things. I believe, in my opinion, that on occasion you go far too long. Almost every other show of this type can complete the banter in 5-15 minutes. On occasion you have far exceeded that I just fast forwarded to the next podcast. I was quite taken aback that you would simply tell me to just go somewhere else for my news. I drive a truck and reading is not as handy as listening to podcast’s but maybe next time I will give it a try. Again, never assume.
So my criticism must be more constructive? OK, if you have to put out a podcast still in split stereo, announce that at the very beginning of the show. I understand that you do this for the fun/love of the show and if I can’t hear it because time was an issue and you want to get it out to service the most people in a timely manner, I can wait for the next episode. No sweat. I believe that you should simply tighten up the APB segment. That may mean cutting some of your discussion from the finished podcast. Its not that I don’t want to know who my podcast friends are, I enjoy some banter in every podcast. Just understand that everyone’s time is precious and I commit an hour of my time to listen to you discuss and recap Castle. The Castle part is what brings me to your podcast.. You inferred (incorrectly) that I want to hear spoilers. I actually enjoy the recaps the most and listening to your discussions of what happened in each episode.
Please understand that if I simply hated the show and you I would just quit listening. By issuing the review it was intended to provide you an indicator of a very real fan with some very real concerns.Your dismissive response was worse than if you just said it was just one person’s opinion and been done with it. Walking through why I was wrong simply hardens my position. I also am in the public arena and cannot be dismissive of critics of my work. A rule I live by is to write down my reply in Word and come back the next day and see how much of a jerk I came off as. then I throw it away and rewrite the response in a more sympathetic tone. No matter how hard someone is on one of my projects, I understand that if they took the time to write me they cared enough to make the effort and I can’t afford to dismiss them. There are enough people that simply write me off and I never hear from that if I have a chance of swaying an opinion I have to take it.
I have already taken down my review on iTunes as I post this (iTunes indicates that it will be removed within 24 hours). You have all my concerns in front of you and I don’t wish to penalize you on iTunes. I hope you understand by this gesture that I really do enjoy the show and you two together. I have made a criticism and it is up to you what to do with it, after all sometimes the critics are wrong and only you know the answer to that.
