I Need Your Feedback: New Super Human Radio Format

Sunday, 09 January 2011 06:41 |

The Show

microphone As many of you already know I have gone to a two-hour show for 2011. I want to hear your feedback and thoughts. How do you like the new longer-show? There are lots of variables manipulate: Right now I'm doing a single topic per hour and periodically doing a show focused on different aspects of a single topic.

I need to hear from the listeners. I am toying with breaking the Podcast into two separate hour segments so people can download single hour files for those who fee the continuous-two-hour show is a bit too long to commit to. I have lots of idesbut none mean anything if the listeners don't like it.

Soooo.... I need your feedback now please. Post here in the comments section and no serious idea will be ignored. Thanks for contributing to the success of the show!

I've been a listener from way back, probably about 5 years now. Love the show and the content. I would prefer the show to be broken into two segments. I admitt that sometimes the particular subject isn't of interest and it's a pain to fast forward to the second half. I love the new Casual Friday show.

If Super Human Radio was the only podcast I listened to then two hour shows would be just fine...heck you could even do 3 hour shows. But since I listen to a total of 8 different podcasts the two hour format is brutal.

I'm a fairly new listener, but I like having the two hour show. I don't necessarily think it's necessary to split them up into different files for the podcast, since most ipod's immediately pick up the recording from where you left off.

I really like the two-hour format, so far. As some others have noted I see this as a double-edged sword: if the quality goes down as a result of the new 2-hour format it will makes things worse, not better. But with so many great regulars you have, such as mahler, Roberts, Rouse and so on, this might not be a problem for you Carl.

I like the 2 hour podcasts

BUT if you find it really stressful to keep pulling this off long term, how about a 2 hour show on Mon/Fri with Tues/Wed/Thurs being one hour shows?
I listen to your show regularly, and I think this would be acceptable, as long as the quality of information divulged remains intact.
Remember, Quality over Quantity

Keep up the awesome work - you've made a difference, so thank you.

i like the two hour show idea and i like the splitting it up into two different mp3's idea also. one hour shows are a perfect, non-intimidating length to commit to.

I personally like the two hour shows, I love the show and I definitely want more of it.
The mp3 files are still quite small even for the 2 hour shows, so I don't see an issue with that either.

The main concern I have with the two hour show format is for you. Being able to get two different quality guests per day must be (at least) twice as stressful, and exhausting. Plus a year is a long time to keep that up! If you feel that it's doable even in the long term, by all means continue with the two hour shows, the least I can do is listen.

I like the two hour shows. I really liked the detox show, how the two hours were split into two different views. Not totally different, but I always like to hear two another angle if not a totally different view.

I don't think two hours is too much to commit to. I listen to the podcast on my phone and if something comes up, I can pick up where I left off.

I think the real question is do you think you can fill two hours long term? This is some of the best information I have found on fitness and nutrition and it is very dense. Almost zero time is spent off topic. If this format does not change, and you have two hours to fill… I want to hear it no doubt.

Love the show, I have a Masters in Exercise Physiology, and 1/2 dozen certifications and I still learn from the show....I don't work in the field, (Pays Crap) but I love to stay on top of things, been a workout buff all my life and I'm 50, so your show is great, an hour is plenty on most subject matter....I use your show to educate friends all the time.

Like the two hour format but now I can't get thru a whole show if I am playing on my commute. Think the one hour format may be easier to handle, but either way is fine for me.

Have a couple of guest ideas for you. Dr Eric Plasker, author of The 100 Year Lifestyle which discusses how would you live if you knew you were going to live to 100, ad Chris Crowley and Dr Henry S. Lodge who co-wrote Younger Next Year which is about lifestyle changes in you 50's so you are healthy in your 80s. Among other things they recommend 6 days a week of exercise - two weight training days and four cardio days, at least one of which is fairly intense. Book was very interesting and enjoyable to read - if they are as interesting in person might be a good topic.
