I'll defend her on that. The producer should be cutting those umm... out.

Can't when there's too many of them.

I doubt anyone is doing serious post production on that show.

The shows sound like something on AM Radio.

My thoughts on the podcast aside, to me this is taking a slight "pick on the girl" vibe. Wiggy seems okay from what I've heard of her, and she was willing to volunteer to make the Filsinger podcast happen. She got a card that we can all use or not as the case may be. Some people will love it, I'm sure (Although those people clearly do not visit this forum). There are five other cards to talk about in this six pack. I haven't had a chance to use any of them yet, but I'm looking forward to seeing how the new Plethador card does as soon as I can find a good time and way to reintroduce him to the GWF. I don't think it's picking on the girl, at least not on my part, but (from me) rather getting a more in depth podcast. If it was weekly, I'd have no problem, but since it's monthly...

I'm certainly not picking on Wiggy. My problem with the podcast is the use of blogtalkradio because of the incredibly horrible sound quality. Nikolai probably couldn't hear them because of blogtalk. I understand why people use it because it is easy and free but it just makes for an unlistenable podcast. As said earlier in this thread, it takes very little to produce a good podcast. They could use Skype and the quality would improve 100%. They just won't grow their audience on blogtalk.
Also they switched their podcast feed without telling anyone. When the last episode was released it wouldn't show up in the podcast feed. I did some digging and found that they had set up a new feed but didn't tell anyone. That's not how you grow your listener base.
I actually wonder if they listen to the podcast. I think they listen to it as it is recorded but then not the finished product. I would think if Tom did he'd hear how bad it sounds. Even the GalactiCon episode was awful. They could have recorded that show on an iPhone and got better quality.
Sorry to rant. Just passionate about good sound quality. It's a great idea for a podcast just poor execution. Even if they use my music in the opening when I told them I'd rather that they didn't.
Back to the set, won't have it until Christmas although it was preordered on Dec 16 and has yet to arrive. Saw Pete B got his in Hawaii. Wonder what the deal is. California is on the way to Hawaii from New York. Unless they went the long way.
I see why Tom made a Wiggy card. He's a master self promoter and having The View as a card promotes the podcast. Just, to me, it doesn't make sense story wise especially when Nitro was so set up to fill that role. But again, I get why he did it.

Honestly, I bet if Tom did a Kickstarter, he could get the $500 he would need for mics, some bandwidth and someone to produce for them. I would gladly donate $20 to that cause. It's just not good when I could literally go to Bestbuy right now, spend $100, download some programs and have a better sounding podcast by this evening than they do. I've honestly thought about emailing him and just mentioning that the show sounds bad.
The really sad part is I could do that, start a podcast called the COTG Fancast on my own and I bet I would stumble into a bigger group of listeners than the official Filsinger podcast has.

And I also agree. I'd love to see them get Tom, Osk and a couple of guys in there and do round tables on years past and have Tom talk about those characters and have him discuss why he decided to go that way with the story and things like that. There's really a lot of untapped potential out there.

Mark Ashby and I were actually discussing it at one point but things intervened. Part of the reason I bought FilsingerGamesFans.com. But I wouldn't be a good host alone because i don't care for the Chikara or ROH sets so I'd never talk about them and they are a big part of the FG universe. And, no, I don't know the Mark Ashby story.

I would be a bad interviewer, but had tons of stuff

For the mini-pack. Looking it over. On the The View card under the popular wrestler section, what's the difference between a roll of 4-5 and 6? Seems like a lot more thought could have been out into it.
Plethador looks good. Not sure i'll use him as I'm using Ultra Mantis Black's card as him in my fed. This is the card he should have had when the move to color was made and he was needlessly downgraded from what he was in B&W.he should never get any better than this but his color downgrade was pointless.
Lord Nexus looks good. Thought was put into this card for sure.
Love the choices on the back of the Euritar card. The art is not the best but it's a solid card.
Nova and Taichi are fine. I run women's matches but it's always as opening matches so these are a wash for me.

Interesting how Lord Nexus went from a DR of 6 in the handbook to a DR of 8 on his card.

Sooooo ive been slightly out of the loop since I got my job in a school. Am I right in assuming I haven't missed much from not listening to the podcasts?

not really. The only reason to listen to them at all is if you want a slight headstart on teasers or if you want to listen to the wrestling guests if you can hear them.
