With regard to podcasts you have to remember those blokes attend a lot of training sessions and give us great feedback . I thrive on those training reports myself . Big thank you for that alone . I don't see the big deal . You can watch the angry podcasters or the club can do no wrong podcasters or anything in between . Choose your own poison .
I watch them all.
I really like your measured response Mick. They were great interviews.
Limited yes, but so was their time. You could see time ran out, but Preistley and Davies stayed as long as they could, respectfully.
If I put myself in Preistley and Davies shoes, firstly I know I'm too time poor to see every podcaster, journalist, TV personality, let alone every coterie member, Member, staff of Sponsors ... you know, everyone who wants a piece of you. Any interview needs to be respectful to the interviewee, interviewer and the audience. You don't want to see a shit show for headlines or heroics.
I would be selective. I wouldn't want to give someone who has a history of uncontrollable aggression and egotistical their 5 minutes of fame just because they think they have the most important questions to offer. That maybe a bit presumptuous but you can only go by history.
Maybe the so called 'hot heads' are all talk and would be more respectful than their podcast persona exudes. But, logically, its not worth the risk, if you had a choice of two amongst 6 podcasters.
Did you notice how tame the media's most controversial journalist was in his interview with Davies? I'm talking SEN's Kane Cornes. That's the point. You never know what you'll get, so better to err on the side of caution, imo.
You should limit the number you speak with and I think they chose well and we, the audience, got 2 flavours of podcasters who asked appropriate questions with the limited time they got. Both sides represented our club well, and stuck it up main stream media at the same time...and Kane came grovelling back.
