Who Dey Weekly Cincinnati Bengal Podcast

The “Who Dey Weekly” podcast is about the Cincinnati Bengals football team. While I’m not a football fan (I live in Cleveland, Oh and all of our team suck). I went into this show looking at content, flow, quality, etc. I was impressed.

They give you a quick blurb to know what’s on the show, insert a quick bit of ads (not enough to be annoying), and start off the show with good energy. They have a number of people on their panel, but do a good job of not just arguing with each other while talking all over each other. Instead you have a well paced, well produced segments that get to the point, and stick to the subject.

The only thing I would recommend is try using the noise removal tool in Audacity (or Adobe Audition) or try a noise gate to remove the fan noise. With that said, if I had been listening in the car or out walking the dog I never would’ve noticed the fan noise. With this in mind, don’t fret about if. However, if you can find a way to remove it – go for it.

Their podcast got one of their hosts on the local news for both the afternoon and evening programs (COOL!).

They did mention Twitter a fair amount but I didn’t see links to their individual twitter accounts. If you’re a fan of the Bengals, I would recommend this podcast.

If you’re wondering what the whole “who dey” thing is about, according to wikipedia: “”Who Dey” is the name of a chant of support by fans of the Cincinnati Bengals, in use for over 30 years. The entire chant is: “Who dey! Who dey! Who dey think gonna beat dem Bengals?” The answer screamed in unison, “Nobody!” Sometimes fans will instead shout “Who Dey” to represent the entire cheer. “Who Dey” is also the name of the team’s mascot, a Bengal tiger.”

The Raphael “Doctah” Love Show

by David Jackson on November 28, 2011

Today we review the Raphael “Doctah” Love show episode seven “You Must Eyedentify.” The show is a quick self help podcast set to inspire you to be the best person you can be.

Pros:

Great into with lots of energy.

Obviously loves his topic.

Short episodes delivered more frequently.

Cons:

You’re using podmatic which will eventually bite you in the butt. I would move immediately. They already have control of your RSS feed in iTunes (see below)

You point people to your podomatic site (in general anything to do with Podomatic is a bad move). I recommend Libsyn.com and Blubrry.com for hosting your media.

Your website at Raphaelove.com needs a player for people to listen to the podcast. While you are using Podomatics (which requires people to dig for it). I would recommend going to player.podtrac.com which makes it easy to let people listen online.

I couldn’t find your email address on the website, or a “contact us” page. You mentioned to send you an email, but you didn’t mention the email address in the podcast (when I went back to find it I couldn’t find it if its there. I listened to the beginning and the end and didn’t hear it).

Advice:

Install the PowerPress plugin on your WordPress at Raphaelove.com and just use that website

Add some information about YOU in addition to what the podcast is about on your website. Who are you and why should I listen to you.

Get away from Podomatic as quickly as possible.

I would also give a brief 5 second description at the beginning of the show.

Bottom Line:

Both my wife and I would listen to another episode of this podcast. The audio quality was good, and the host kept on topic (we didn’t hear about his kids, frustrations, etc – he got to the point). It made a great first impression and while we are not reaching to subscribe to this podcast, we would sample more episodes.
