Hi all, 

I’ve noticed that there’s a vacuum in the podcast world—we don’t have a Blue Bombers podcast! Blue Bomber Talk is no longer as the Hodges have moved on. I’m interested in being part of a podcast. I’ve never done it but would love to get into it.  Is anyone else interested? I have also posted this on the other forum. 
Here are some ideas but I think there could be way more  

1. have an X’s and O’s Section where a local fan or coach with football knowledge would break down the latest bomber game and look ahead to the next one

2. interview local heroes like Carol Barrott or super fans like Reaper, Bomber Woman, Golden Boy etc 

3. Talk about best and worst Bombers memories 

4. Potentially get players or coaches on

 

my podcast will be just a regular joe talking about the Bombers. i will bring in x's and o's guys to supplement. but i love the pregame on cjob for what it is--awesome dudes talking about our awesome team. let's go!!!!!

Yep that's what it is. The game is the entertainment. Tsn does the very American thing where they think the broadcast is the entertainment and the game is the background noise. It's so stupid.

Like it or not, a new generation of fans is growing up loving that NFL model and convinced that the CFL is a boring game. And just highlighting a CFL game with no bells and whistles is not going to draw in new young fans.

Yes, giving up entirely is the way to go........**** off. Just because that's one way it's being done, doesn't mean it's the only way. You can absolutely make the next generation enjoy things the way CJOBs broadcast does it. It doesn't HAVE to be the TSN/ESPN way....

good point. tho i listen to ppl like bill burr, who is v popular. all he does is yak about his day and ppl eat it up. i think in this time of salesmanship and overstimulation, ppl are craving just some normal chatter. ?

I don't buy that for a second. If you are watching for the talking heads you're watching for the wrong reasons. The game is the selling point, the broadcast should compliment that rather than try and be the reason people tune in.

Disagree. The measure of a quality broadcast is how much time they are willing to devote to promoting an "up and coming" musician.

You may have never heard of this guy but, I assure you, he's big in Nashville and Australia.

 

And there were more eyeballs on the halftime show than there were at most points of the game. “Right and wrong” reasons are a matter of personal preference. I love the pre-game chats with Bob, Ed and Doug, but others will want more flash and dash, and the most popular sporting events who are gaining new audiences are catering more to that younger demographic with the bells and whistles.

To get back to the podcast, I cheer on that project but can't commit to helping out on the regular. 

For the record, my dream podcast is "Lapo explains football to johnzo and it's a vlog on youtube with lots of game clips and good production values."

I think, if you were to query most Canadian hockey fans and asked them who their favorite national broadcaster was, they would say Cuthbert. He's definitely in the same, elite class, of broadcasters as Bob. His delivery is phenomenal and he keeps it even. No sell job. 

Ive only heard Ferguson a couple of times,and he's definitely a home, understandably, but he's good at the balance in delivery.
