More often than not. I've skipped an episode here and there when there's a subject that doesn't really interest me.<br /> 2. A nice mix of all of the above, but my favorites are people oriented interviews, i.e. "the story behind subject x", events, and also when you guys go driving around (i.e. like the 3 shop ice cream crawl)<br /> 3. Haven't actively disliked any episodes.<br /> 4. Way too damn long.<br /> 5. I usually listen to it directly from the webpage while having other windows open working on other stuff.<br /> 6. Half hour is a good time limit.<br /> 7. Not really.<br /> 8. Several smaller segments - it would make me more likely to listen to all of the podcasts rather than just selective ones.<br /> 9. You guys are doing great. Keep up the good work! </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/looking-for-columbus-foodcast-feedback#post-232895 Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:06:47 +0000 Bear 232895@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <p>It's generally quite well-paced. I've always thought the best parts are the questions -- you guys have a real talent for knowing which questions to ask. They're well-informed, and they elicit detailed responses from the people you're talking with. </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/looking-for-columbus-foodcast-feedback#post-232879 Tue, 15 Sep 2009 12:21:59 +0000 TheOtherZach 232879@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <p>Thanks guys! </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/looking-for-columbus-foodcast-feedback#post-232745 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 23:47:40 +0000 Roland 232745@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <p>I like the beef! </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/looking-for-columbus-foodcast-feedback#post-232706 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 19:47:40 +0000 Walker 232706@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <p>1. I listen on a pretty regular basis. ;) Generally, it's a topical thing for me though. Episodes about local restaurants and local food events (which are the majority of what you guys seem to do) will typically will get my full attention. Since I'm not much of a beer or wine drinker episodes focusing on those topics tend to get skipped by me. But that's just my personal preference. Overall, the format, quality, and presentation of the podcasts are pretty top notch.</p> <p>2 &#38; 3 - Sort of answered those above.</p> <p>4 - I think I already answered this question on <a href="http://www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions/Rail/Programs/passenger/3CisME/Lists/Survey/NewForm.aspx">a different survey</a>.</p> <p>5 - I have been listening via your website (or CU) on my laptop while working on other projects. But now that I have an iPhone I've got the foodcast subscribed via itunes and sync'ed with the phone for downloading. So I anticipate listing that way to some of the upcoming episodes. </p> <p>6 - I'd say my sweet spot is 20-30 minutes for a show. Any longer and I'd have to break it up into 2 listening sessions. Which means probably not finding the time to finish the second half before moving on to the next week's episode.</p> <p>7 - Not at all! ;)</p> <p>8 - I'd be fine with the format either way. As long as the overall show is topical, it doesn't matter to me if I'm listening to 4 10-min interviews or 1 40-minute interview, as long as it's interesting material.</p> <p>9 - I love the "on location" stuff at events and things. So more of that! :D </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/looking-for-columbus-foodcast-feedback#post-232704 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 18:48:48 +0000 ZHC 232704@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <p>I'm not really a foodie so I'm not likely to be a regular listener but I have liked the show the 3-4 times I've listened to it.

If the podcast just focuses on one thing, I make a decision whether or not to listen based on how interested I am in that one interview. If there were several topics I would probably listen to the whole thing more frequently. </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/looking-for-columbus-foodcast-feedback#post-232546 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 09:58:15 +0000 TheOtherZach 232546@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <p>Jim and I are looking into changing the format of the Foodcast a bit in the next month or so and we would love some feedback on what we are currently doing right (or wrong.) It would help us out greatly if you could answer any of the questions below, or if you could just tell us what you like or don’t like all freeform and stuff. Brutal honesty is encouraged, but I’m posting this on CU so that probably goes without saying. </p> <p>Thanks so much!</p> <p><ul>1. Do you listen to the Foodcast on a regular basis? How about just once or twice?<br /> 2. What types of shows do you currently enjoy the most? Examples might include:<br /> a. Well known restaurants<br /> b. Obscure establishments<br /> c. DIY projects<br /> d. Nonprofit organizations and food movements<br /> e. Events and festivals</p> <p>3. Same question but in reverse. Which types of shows don’t you like?<br /> 4. If train A leaves Detroit at a speed of 60 mph and train B leaves Cleveland at a speed of 72 mph and there is a prevailing north-north-westerly wind of 6 knots, how long would it take a monkey with a wooden peg leg to kick the seeds out of the dill pickle?<br /> 5. If you download the show automatically show via a program like iTunes, how likely are you to listen to it?<br /> 6. Would you be more interested in a half an hour show or a full hour?<br /> 7. Do focus-group type questionnaires irritate the hell out of you?<br /> 8. Do you like our current format of 20-40 minute interviews, or would you prefer a show with several smaller segments?<br /> 9. Have I missed anything? What else do you like or don’t like? What aren’t we doing that you would like to see? </ul> </p>
