It's Your Round Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I guess @omariqy’s suggestion might have been a little tongue in cheek, but it’s really quite straight forward to set up a podcast remotely. Use Zencastr to record and Audacity to edit, both are free. It’s only the time involved that costs anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be a great idea, there’s a much wider range of opinions and expertise on here than you’d find on any other Villa podcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can pick up a desktop mic for nothing nowadays. Literally search Amazon for ‘podcast microphone ’ or ‘vocal microphone’ and you’ll see loads. The harder part would be the editing and mixing (you can get free editing software, like ‘audacity’), making videos, and choosing an actual podcast angle, I guess. I don’t think many people, other than VTers, would actually want to listen to a podcast where the hosts are different every week. Like many others, I’ve considered doing a Villa podcast before, but I don’t have the time for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepal_villan Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Please put it on a podcast platform and not just YouTube, as some of us prefer audio to video and tend to listen while commuting. Lots of really great Villa podcasts out there, would be great to have another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that makes me laugh is The Athletic’s 1874 podcast, with the intro claiming “we bring you the final word on Aston Villa”.... they then proceed to produce a 20-minute podcast once a fortnight, while the other pods post hour long pods weekly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was relieved when the Villa View came back, Tom is a much better straight man to Dan's... straight man. For the Love of Paul McGrath is another good listen.

I like the Claret & Blue podcast too. Evans is okay, but that pod in general is regularly too short and sparse. Though I can’t stand when Evans says “Listen” all the time. I’ve never listened to the LOPM one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while he may be a good writer, doesn't seem as though Gregg Evans has any great access to valuable club insights. MOMS, Round the Lamp, and Heart of the Holte are some of my favorites. Villa View as well. Need to check out Love of Paul McGrath - never came across it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted August 27, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) One thing you need on any pod cast is is an authority figure, someone who has more knowledge than the average listener, which can be difficult with a subject like ours. The holtecast for example suffers from this, it's like overhearing 2 mates conversation in a pub at times, its irritating as it's nothing but their rambling opinions....often based on less facts than us football nerds already know. My point being if anyone is setting up a podcast you need an angle, something to set you apart, as all the best ones do.

He knows the industry, has the stories and a decent knowledge base. I have a good insight into the football industry through my work which hopefully will help. The key will be feedback. Let's get it going and see how we get on and look to try and improve it by asking VT what needs to be better. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point being if anyone is setting up a podcast you need an angle, something to set you apart as all the best ones do. i guess it depends on whether the aim is to reach a bigger audience to just those on here, and whether the aim is to make money from the exercise. if either are true then you have a valid point. the villa view doesn't claim to have more knowledge than the average listener, or have any insights into club matters, but they have the established fanbase now. if the aim is to basically create an audio version of villatalk purely for the enjoyment of doing so, then sounds like a good idea.
